"The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJbcp1U1Sbc

 

Strange alternate-reality/steampunk action adventure set in 1899, with some of the greatest characters of 19th century literature (Allan Quatermain, the Invisible Man, Captain Nemo, Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde, etc.) banding together to combat a supervillain who wants to start a World War.

 

This flick got hammered by critics and audiences when it was released a few years ago but I enjoyed it. Connery's great as Quatermain and the special effects were pretty cool (esp. the stuff involving the Invisible Man). The sets, costumes, etc. were also very well done. Plus, stuff blew up on a regular basis so I was never bored. :lol:

 

I've never read the graphic novel that it's based on but I've read that Alan Moore (who wrote it) had nothing to do (and wanted nothing to do) with this movie version. I guess that it's probably better that I never read the G.N., because then I would've been picking apart all the changes they made to the source material (and I understand that there were lots) the entire time.

 

Overall, I thought it was a decent popcorn flick.

Did you like it? To tell the truth I couldn't even finish it, it was so bad imo. :hammer:

It had real good potential but fell short IMO.

"Zardoz" (1974)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbGVIdA3dx0

 

Bizarre '70s sci-fi fantasy that's kinda like a nonsensical, sh*thouse combo of "2001" and "Planet of the Apes" on a whoooole lotta LSD. Sean Connery (who spends most of the movie wearing what appears to be orange bikini panties and not much else) is an "Exterminator" who prowls the barren earth of 2293, killing off "Brutals" (i.e. other humans) on behalf of a big flying stone God head that calls itself "Zardoz." He's eventually captured and studied by a clan of "Immortals," i.e. other humans who believe themselves to be the superior race. Over time he teaches them to love, to not fear Death, and incites a revolt. Or something. Seriously, that's about all the description I can give cuz honestly this movie didn't make a lick of sense. It's just one long series of "What the f*ck" moments, brightened occasionally by shots of topless women.

 

In other words, this flick is the worst, most pretentious, artsy-fartsy, psuedo-intellectual sci-fi crap I've seen in ages, and that's saying a lot considering that I just sat through "Battlefield Earth" a couple of weeks ago.

 

Ignore, delete, destroy.

"Porky's II: The Next Day"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u23Z4ksRvo8

 

The Angel Beach High gang return to deal with a religious group who wants to shut down the school's "indecent" Shakespeare play. And oh yeah, the KKK drops by for a visit too. Hijinks ensue.

 

I like this one better than the original "Porky's." It never gets old :rofl:

    • Looks like I've got a bit of catching up to do. I've been absent from the forums, and mostly listening to the classics. 
    • It's not a lack of response, it's an actively negative response. They appear to be blocking people and other organisations from sending aid. Really strange. 
    • Glad you're okay, @whiplash1972. I can't imagine what that must be like.
    • If you go to the "edit song details" menu, you can edit the displayed lyrics ( handy to get rid of ugly brackets and prompts ), change the song title and change the thumbnail image.  You'd be able to do that to your tracks as well I think. Create a playlist for each of your albums and use your album covers as the images for your playlists.  They present pretty well on suno. The below link is for my playlist.    As for the vocals, I don't mind having female vocals on some of my tracks. As you mentioned earlier, I have absolutely no musical expertise whatsoever when it comes to instruments and I cannot sing for shit. I sort of think that it's like someone writing a song and then giving it to an Artist, Male or female, to interpret it musically. Think Desmond Child writing for Bon Jovi and also Joan Jett, or great songs by Jeff Paris being recorded by Vixen. Am I comparing myself to Desmond Child and Jeff Paris when it comes to songwriting talent? Hmmm... yes,  I think so.       https://suno.com/playlist/1581a017-9d55-4b0f-8ea8-555aa5b11d00
    • Good safe and well with the footage I've seen on news here in Australia it must be scary.
    • I can tell you that at the very least, there are people from FEMA working with some of the local businesses (my employer included) as far as looking at what aid is available to them. On the flip side, I've heard that one of the FEMA directors "got an attitude" with a few folks in the Asheville area and got popped in the mouth. I can't confirm that, just a story that's making the rounds. 
    • Glad you and yours are ok Mike. There's been a lot of buzz on social media about the LACK of response from FEMA and the current admin. Have you seen or heard anything on the ground one way or the other?
    • Not sure if anyone has noticed my absence over the last 10 days, but I've only been able to sign in a few times from work over the course of that period. As some of you may know, on Friday, September 27th, Hurricane Helene slammed into western North Carolina and absolutely devastated this area, leveling entire towns in its path. In my 52 years on this planet, I've never seen destruction like this with my own eyes.  While my home and property were spared any major problems, our road looked like a damn warzone with all the trees and powerlines down. We were literally trapped like rats in a maze for several days, as even though some good samaritans were able to cut their way through the downed trees so we could leave the neighborhood, all roads leading out of this area were closed off, either due to trees and lines down, or due to flooding.   I was out of work for six days, as my employer had no power. We had no power here at the house for 9 days, with it being restored late yesterday evening. We lost several hundred dollars worth of food that thawed out from our fridge and freezers. No hot water after day one, no cell signal for several days, no stores or restaurants open for several days... If it sounds like I'm complaining, I assure you, I am not. I am grateful. My family and friends are blessed, as we're all pretty much back up and running now. While there was some severe flooding here in Morganton just around two miles from my house, overall, it was MILD around here. Once you drive a mere 20 miles up the road to a little town called Old Fort in McDowell County, and everything west from there, it is exponentially worse. Huge chunks of Asheville under water, Chimney Rock literally wiped off the map, Spruce Pine damn near wiped away, small towns with no communication to the outside world with people struggling. It is BAD here in Western NC, and it's going to take a LONG time for things to get back to some semblance of normal for ALOT of people.  I just felt the need to post and let anyone who might have noticed I was MIA that I am fine, but that alot of good people are not. Please keep western North Carolina in your thoughts and prayers, and if that's not your thing, drink one for all of us tonight. Here are a few links that I've shared over the last week on FB that show the devastation around here... https://fb.watch/v331QebVRJ/ https://www.facebook.com/100067755911039/videos/1069274148086583/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/ER9b6tv8oj84QuWb/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/9MpnKZUAx4m5oy3y/ All these aerial shots are from around 1-2 miles from my house: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/vux5WpAqeMDcNMhS/ https://fb.watch/v33x13dnTf/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/V6RPz7HiiMhrBsfn/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/vvEuMCm7We6fitZ9/ https://www.facebook.com/share/v/jE1utxkfNLeKEM9S/ Park Rangers in Chimney Rock managed to get the flag raised up again...  
    • I've got a solid top 3 at this point.  At least for me, these 3 are heads and shoulders above everything else: 1.  Kissin' Dynamite 2.  Eclipse 3.  Maverick After that, it's really a hodgepodge of stuff.  New Roses, Daughtry (Only an EP but digging it), Collateral, Sebastian Bach, Judas Priest, Nestor, End Machine.  I'd probably put them in about that order at the moment.
