An older movie, but I just watched DIE ANOTHER DAY last night. I enjoyed it a lot, perhaps I was just in the mood for it. I'm not a Bond superfan, I think this was the first Peirce one I've seen but I liked him, gadgets were cool and action fun. Thinking back now, the story didn't make a lot of sense, but hey sometimes you just need a 007 fix :)

"Doomsday"

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

An absolutely INSANE British sci-fi/action/horror flick by Neil Marshall of "Dog Soldiers" and "The Descent" fame. When a unknown killer virus ravages the population of Scotland, the government deals with it by sealing the entire region off behind a giant wall and placing it under permanent quarantine.

 

30 years later the virus pops up again in London, and they send a team of specialists (led by the hot-as-hell Rhona Mitra as a warrior-woman type who's like the love child of Lara Croft and Snake Plissken) back into the "hot zone" to find any potential survivors of the plague who may be able to provide a cure. Along the way they tangle with a vicious gang of punk-rock cannibals, get captured by a mad scientist (Malcolm McDowell) who's gone medieval, and experience a whole bunch of other weird sh*t that usually ends up in decapitations, fights, explosions, and gore galore.

 

When this flick ended all I could say was, "Wow, that was nuts." It's kinda like a mish-mash of bits borrowed from "Resident Evil," "Escape From New York," and "The Road Warrior" (to name just a few) all stuffed into a blender set on "liquify." It's not Oscar material by any means, and parts of it were pretty damn silly, but on the whole it was entertaining as hell and certainly never boring!!!

Tried to watch "Full Tilt Boogie," which is a bonus documentary on my new "From Dusk Till Dawn" DVD about the making of the film, but wow, it was dull as dirt. I gave up about 40 minutes in. Rather than a straight "making of" doc (where they show you how the special effects are done, etc., etc.) this basically just followed the cast & crew around with a camera during their day-to-day doings, which isn't nearly as interesting as you might think. Maybe if you worked on the film, all these clips of people joking around and complaining about the weather, the food, etc. might make for an interesting "video scrapbook" of your experience, but for the casual viewer.... nah.

 

About all I learned was that Quentin Tarantino was still an annoying douche even when he wasn't "in character" for the movie. Seriously, I want to punch that guy. :D

 

So tonight I'll watch the "real" movie instead and forget about this doc.

Yeah, it was killer! Surprised I hadn't even heard of it till it turned up on my cable the other night. I just clicked on it cuz the description sounded promising.

 

I really like what I've seen of Marshall's work thus far. I haven't seen "Dog Soldiers" yet but it's on the list. I loved "The Descent" too.

Randomonious. I also watched this over the rain-drenched long weekend. Let's see what else I can remember that we watched:

 

'District 9' ; my wife hated it, but I didn't mind it. I won't go as far as to say I liked it, but it wasn't awful. It kept me pretty interested. Towards the end it got a little much, but I guess it was a half decent film. Not the norm, I guess, is what made it attractive for a while.

 

'Doomsday' ; like the gents say above, this is nothin' but action. Personally, I find these types of films pretty boring. Too much nonsense, not enough story. But it was okay for a harmless view. And as noted, the lead girl was a nice peice of sex. I got the impression all the way through this that it was a movie version of some silly computer game, and I never shook that. I also missed the specifics of what actual story there was. I'm not sure if that's because I wasn't overly interested, or if it wasn't too clear.

 

'The Hangover' ; watched this one again just because my wife needed to see something she liked. I do really rate this. Great film, very amusing. I want to see the second please.

 

'How to lose friends and alienate people' ; I wanted to turn it off after 10 minutes, but for some reason my wife actually wanted to watch this. Probably because it's like 'The Devil Wears Prada' with a British dude. He was annoying and unfunny, but thank my lord and saviour jeebers cripes for the presence of Megan Fox. Sadly, it was pre-implant Megan Fox, but she's still delightful either way. Kirstin Dunst was there too. She wasn't as sexable in this as I've seen her in other films, though. Especially compared to Megan Fox. End of the day, though, pretty shithouse story but I guess it was watchable.

 

'Drillbit Taylor' ; Why did I think this was a David Spade movie? Again, this was bad but watchable. A few kind of funny scenes... yeah, it was half watchable... but awful.

HEREAFTER

 

Matt Damon is great in this, but it's a bit slow. Nice topic and some great sequences but a bit painful to watch 2 hours of mainly dialogue.

"Legend of the Bog" (a.k.a. "Bog Bodies" and "Assault of Darkness")

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKsm366eIl8

Below-average, not very horrific horror tale about a reanimated "Bog Body" (i.e. an ancient corpse that's been preserved in a peat bog) picking off a group of lost travelers in the Irish countryside. The so-called "Bog Body" (played by a big hulking bald guy) is one of the least scary movie monsters in recent memory. He looks like a confused pro wrestler.

 

All in all, it's kinda like "The Beast of Yucca Flats" with an Irish brogue.

hm, looks interesting at the beginning but then to the end, it started to be a happy-ending drama stuff which ended up like a B-rate copycat version of 'Inception'.

    • 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.  
    • So I was just looking at the new releases I bought from this year, and while there are some new additions to expand from the top 5 I posted earlier this year, to a top 10, all the stuff in my original list are still in the top 10 (although obvs with three months to go, the ones near the bottom could be usurped). Anyway as of now, this is where I am at: 1.       Judas Priest 2.       The Warning 3.       Nek! 4.       Rolling Quartz 5.       Band Maid 6.       April Art 7.       Lipz 8.       Sebastian Bach 9.       Mick Mars 10.   Durbin
    • I to used see them a few times at the Middle as well. With local chapter of the Hells Angels at front bar. Not much a Screaming Jets fan, so I didn't watch them with Gleeson' The guy in front now, was their recent drummer before they put out in front Those first five albums are classics
