Watership Down?

Dido, save I'd probably divine with a d100 just to see his odds.

Cain, I admire you. This has certainly made my day. 'Nuff said.

LIFE: Prepared to be fucked in the ass!

Cue Birthday Party's "Release the Bats."

I've wondered, if in the end, it will be the Earth itself, that fixes the Earth. 

This reminds me of a quote from Flex Mentallo. It's something to the affect of, "It's not the Earth that needs saving, but mankind."

It was all just a ruse! An illuminati scheme to make you FEEL like you've got control of the situation, but it's just an illusion.

This also reminds me of a train of thought that kept running through my head. Like you, LHX, I've been wondering what the purpose of recycling is. I mean, sure, it looks and feels good if you think it's actually doing anything, but are you really? It seems like when it comes down to it, recycling seems like a diversion to make us feel good about ourselves. To make us think we're doing something in face of the massive declining state of the world.

Are we actually doing something?

But here's a counter to this. What if the illusion is not the recycling, but the adverse affects of our presence? All this weird stuff is actually normal, and we're just creating it/explaining it away with our own sins? We're the one's who are fucked, because we're caught in the loop of feeding new industries that are simply making money off selling our garbage back to us? "Would you like some extra poo with that?" Guess what I'm trying to ask is, is it real? If it is real, then are we actually doing anything about it? Or is it hype, and we're simply scaring ourselves in certain directions. Reasons and directions? I dunno, I'm just sayin'.

fucking hackjob they're doing to the Watchmen.

Oh god, please tell me they're not raping Watchmen? And to think I was contemplating what it would be like for an Invisibles movie to come out.

No-name cast, writer, and director? Its going to suck. Word on the street says they changed the overall storyline in such a way that the entire point of the story is completely overlooked, action sequences are needlessly shoehorned in, not to mention that a brief look at the cast list shows that none of the actors are appropriate for their roles. The comedian, for example, should be pretty old... yet he's portrayed by a young 30's soap opera alum.

Dont get your hopes up.

Yeah, I was just in the process of looking into the casting of it. While not necessarily a strictly no-name cast (as one of them is popping up in the Heartbreak Kid), it is an odd one.

That's no anus. That's a hole into a realm of Madness!

I liked Pan's Labyrinth being set during the Spanish Civil War. I like those 'modern' fantasy types, where the strangeness lurks around the corners (and sometimes in plain sight). Charles de Lint and Grant Morrison-type of stuff. Anywho, thought I'd point this out if it isn't already known: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0804493/

Apparently Stuart Gorden has written and directed a new Re-Animator, House of the Re-Animator. It's slated for 2008. It's news to me, at least.

MOAR MEME

That movie rocks.

This has been in the talks for a long time on the nets, and I'm glad to see they've finally announced it along with the director. I think speculation about it was pointing to Peter Jackson, M. Night Shammamalamalon, and Guillermo del Toro. I'm glad it's the latter, 'cause while Hellboy wasn't the most brilliant thing ever, I thought it was certainly Lovecraftian enough towards the end. Those scenes are probably a nice preview of what's to be expected from At the Mountains of Madness, so I'm excited. Also, he did a good job with Pan's Labyrinth. I wanna watch that bottle bash, again.

 

Its a beautiful world we live in
A sweet romantic place
Beautiful people everywhere
The way they show they care
Makes me want to say
Its a beautiful world
For you

Its a wonderful time to be here
Its nice to be alive
Wonderful people everywhere
The way they comb their hair
Makes me want to say
Its a wonderful place
For you

Hey
Tell me what I say
Boy 'n girl with the new clothes on
You can shake it to me all night long
Hey hey

Its not for me
