    Life does go through totally ****e stages hun. You just learn to roll with punches. And its true, what doesnt kill you makes you stronger. Also the crap bits make the good bits all the sweeter. :D

    No its definitely not a competition:D And hun, everythings relative. Your pain is as bad and as important as anyone elses. My dad just reckons God lost our family file behind the radiator! Hence the crap! :D I think theres a temp in the celestial filing office and they cant work the computer system. Result: We are the default setting for crap! :D:D

    Your mam is on the money. Stop swimming and all you do is go under. And you know, there are so many great things in life even in the middle of s***te. The hardest thing I ever did was bury my bro but heck I'm still here. I still can laugh and have a good time. Doesn't mean losing him hurts any less but life does go on.

    Damn squirl, that is one bad year. Setbacks in your personal, educational and work life. I don't know what to say to you. I suppose these situations make or break you don't they?

    Paperclip, I'm so sorry for all you've gone through. It's the kind of situation that makes me realise no matter how bad I have it, there's always someone worse off. And I was moaning to you about college! What an idiot I am!

    The state of the horror genre in movies. It sickens me! I mean when is the last time you saw a good film with Vampires eh? No offence to all you fans of the Underworld franchise but it is in all honesty a case of style over substance. In fairness though, I'd take that franchise anyday over films about teenage vampires with angst (cough*Twilight*cough). Oh and Dakota Fanning is in the sequel. Yes! And now we're being treated to Gavin & Stacey having their way with the genre. It's a sad sad state of affairs.

    And when's the last time you saw a classic horror movie that you could call not just a great horror movie, but just a great movie in general. Back in the day we'd see acting greats such as Jack Nicholson in awesome films such as The Shining. Or Arnie in The Terminator. Now what do we get? A bunch a B movie films with a bunch of forgettable eye candy. I despair.

    Rant over. Don't leave me hanging people.:pac:

    Karl Kounter-Rant incoming! Nyargh! :pac:

    First of all, anyone looking for decent Horror in a kiddie flick like Twilight needs their head examined. What did you expect? Secondly, don't look to Hollywood for Horror either, with few exceptions, you're not gonna find any good ones there. Look outside the mainstream, and there's a vast treasure trove of exceptional films.

    My pokemans, let me show you them.

    Want to see a good vampire film?



    I'm expecting great things from this:



    Also, here's a few that might be worth checking out:









    Honestly, there's just so many great films if people just care to look around for them, and not expect it Hollywood.

    Yep, giving someone a brief fright =/= making them scared
    Making someone feel disgusted =/= making them scared

    So? Doesn't make a film a bad Horror. Honestly, a lot of horror films have served to disgust and revolt their target audience since the 60's, take a look at pretty much any zombie film, they're not exactly scary but many of them are downright disgusting. There's quite a few emotions that Horror films can evoke, and they're all a fairly valid interpretations of the genre. Take The Fly for example, absolutely disgusting experience that has me sick to my stomach every time I watch it. Scary? No. Absolutely brilliant horror film? Most certainly yes.

    ^

    I've been told.:o I wasn't saying that I was looking for a good Vampire film from the likes of Twilight. I was just making a point about as you said your self the latent lack of choice from Hollywood. Nice one for all the recommendations, I'll be sure to check them out.

    And on The Fly, that is the only film that has genuinely scared the **** out of me. Not so much the entire film but more so the last 20 minutes. It was absolutely horrible and great to watch.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    If you want to see a big budget Hollywood Horror film, then Sam Raimi's latest looks to be a kicker.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    Oh yeah, how could I forget one of the best horror films in recent years?

    I had to get to a test but I was a little late so I ran for the bus , and he saw me and started to close the doors , I force my leg right in the middle so he could close it , he had a rant gave him money and got ticket , about 5 minutes later realized i got the wrong bus

    I can only laugh about it now.

    Damn it why won't I trust my instincts?:mad: As many of you know I'm a poor student (:pac:) so I do the Euromillions with Ladbrokes at the slight hope of making big cash with small stakes (2 euro).

    So two weeks ago my instinct told me to pick my two usual numbers, 17 and 25, but I just had to add one more number out of greed! What happened? 17 and 25 came up!:(

    I didn't do the Euromillions last week because I was demoralised after the bad luck of the previous week. So today my instinct told me to pick my other usual pair of numbers, 12 and 16. But AGAIN, greed took over and I added one more number! What happened? 12 and 16 came up!:( I mean come on!

    God damn it just let me finish college so I can start making cash!:mad:

    Ha ha, no need to be sorry, I was glad that you reminded me. I just balked at what I saw, that's all.:p

    And I wouldn't be so sure, I'm qualifying with a Social Science degree (an average one at that) so I doubt I'll be having organisations beating down my door.!:(

    meh. had horrible nightmares that ive not had for a few years all last night in between the not-sleeping, then woke up to find the only physical memory thing i have of a dead mate was missing, then decided that my general unhappiness was due to my relationship, so attempted to break up with himself.

    then went for a surf, and it was totally flat.


    bit of a **** day, really.
