I enjoy porn. I'm willing to admit that I haven't seen a lot of it, and certainly not a lot of hardcore stuff, but I think I've seen my fair share enough to know the actors and actresses I like to see doing the nasty.

What I was wondering was this: does anyone have a particular obsession or admiration with a specific porn star, one that seems to transcend simple sexual attraction? Who's that one person who you see in porn that just sends you into a frenzy?

For me, it's Nikki Nova:


I basically fell in love with this beauty after seeing her in a softy called Busty Cops 2 (which I actually reviewed in the the reviews section).

I know she's very attractive, but there's just something about everything about her, from her skin, to her but, to her lips, to her eyes, to her hair, to even her feet. Words can not adequately state how much I want this woman.

I don't even imagine her when I wank for some reason, almost like I'm trying to keep her a special case in my imagination. I'm no stalker or anything, but it's gotten to the point where I would genuinely like to meet her. I'd like to just have a nice meal with her and ask her how exactly she got into her line of work and how she's feels about it (I know she doesn't do hardcore, and I'd like to ask what her opinions on porn in general are).

Veterans of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are on board for both.

Edgar Wright (director) will be directing Ant-Man, scheduled for a 2010 release.

Simon Pegg (star of both films) will be playing Scotty in J.J. Abram's new Star Trek movie.

I was not looking forward to Ant-Man at all, but now that the genius behind Don't! is signed on, I think I may just have to see it.

When my dad first heard the bit about Simon Pegg all he could say was "That just makes a whole lot of sense."

Entertainment / New Metal Bands
July 21, 2008, 01:00:51 PM
I like heavy metal, but seeing the video for Shockwave by Black Tide made me realize that there were a lot of modern heavy metal bands that I haven't been listening too, and that maybe I should listen to recent stuff before scrounging the oldies. So, I humbly request that people provide me with some recent heavy metal bands to come out on the scene, hopefully one who appeared within the past decade. However, if there is some essential metal listening that I have missed that you must recommend, feel free (NO GLAM!)

Just so nobody recommends something I already know off, I'll list ones I do know right now.

Quote from: IMDBThe Day the Earth Stood Still is a 2008 science fiction film, a remake of the 1951 film of the same name. Directed by Scott Derrickson and starring Keanu Reeves as Klaatu, the film updates the Cold War themes of nuclear warfare, to the more contemporary concerns of man against nature,[1] as well as their generally violent nature against one another.

I saw the trailer to this when I went to see The Dark Knight. I have to say, even though I'm sad that this film is sure to absolutely bury the original (by which I mean it will ensure that nobody will even attempt to see the original because this one is a big special-effects movie), but in the film defense, the trailer does make it look rather good. (I originally thought it was going to be a Blade Runner remake.)

General Discussion / Tattoos - Where and of what?
July 15, 2008, 10:54:39 PM
This is a thread for people who have tattoos and for people planning to get tattoos.

I don't have any tattoos, but I plan on building up as much muscle in my shoulders, arms, and back as I possibly can. Then, I want the black flag and red star of the EZLN inked on my back.

I also want one tattoo for my forearm (very minimalist) and I want it to read:

For FREDERICK POLAK and his wife and family, I bear witness
July 23, 1943

It's the name and date of deportation of a man who died in the holocaust. When you go to the Holocaust Museum in New York you gt an Identification Card which gives you the history of one person who died in the holocaust. Across the cover it states the museum's motto: For the dead and the living we must bear witness.

Just check my really long post.

This was a poor show of anger control, and I'm sorry for that.

THE COMMENT THAT MADE ME FEEL LIKE A CUNTBAG:

Quote from: SpanishAnd I know I can be immature, but I'm just trying to get used to things here. Thank you for seeing things the way they are and not the way you want them to be. The world needs more people like you.

Spanish, I realize that I was being hard on the new guy. I definitely know what that's like, and I'm sorry I blew up on you in both YouTube and the forum. I still think you have some growing up to do, but I just hope you can forgive me for being a total cockface to someone who isn't used to things here. So, please forgive me?

My idea is set in an alternate history version of the year 1998 in which prostitution and all narcotics are legal and there is almost no gun control (however, the purchase of ammunition is kept at a very high price). For the most part the people, especially the middle and upper classes (from which our protagonist comes), are quite content with this world.

There is only one major thing that the government prohibits - the consumption of meat and the domestication of animals. Somewhere in the eighties, animals in the United States became elevated to positions above citizenship. It is illegal to murder an animal for any reason, while animals can not be charged with killing humans. Animals can not be kept as pets, and the only thing preventing them from crawling the ever dirtier streets of the working and lower classes are the inefficient EAHU (Ethical Animal Handlers Union). As a result, the main source of underground crime is not narcotics dealing or human trafficking, but illegal meat consumption. For the right price, someone can have domesticated cattle imported from an obscure third world nation to be made into hamburgers ($25 an ounce). Frequent shoot outs occur in the streets between the CHS (Commission of Human Safety) and animal traffickers.

At the same time, terrorist groups made up of Christian fundamentalists (angered at the governments inability to illegalize abortion and sodomy) frequently attack government offices, hospitals, and take homosexuals hostage. These fundamentalist use the underground animal trafficking to achieve the funds necessary to purchase weapons and the supplies to make bombs. If that weren't enough, former farmers and slaughter-house workers, put out of work by the 'Snoopy Laws' have taken to being droves of anarchist bandits, attacking towns in the mid-west, stealing supplies, rapping women, and murdering the upper class.

Our protagonist is Elliott of the CHS. Steadily growing more nihilistic about the world that is becoming more violent and chaotic every day, he seeks the consolation of Moe Barbly, a former Greek Orthodox Priest now in prison for refusing to perform several gay unions. Elliott is in love with Rebecca who works in the EAHU. When Rebecca accidentally becomes pregnant with another man's baby, she plans to get an abortion. Elliott, however, wants her to keep the baby, admitting that he doesn't know why.

This isn't really a book about the animal traffickers or Middies (farmer anarchists) or the terrorists. It's really about Elliott and Rebecca amidst this alternate history.

My week-long, summer LVC group went to Hershey Park about two weeks ago, and as we get there, I am excited to ride some badass coasters (I hadn't been to a theme park since I was eight).

Groups of friends start paring up when, out at random, this girl I know from high school appears next to me and asks me a question. I noticed two guys behind her snickering. She had obviously asked a pretty stupid question. Viewing me as a smart person, she decides to ask me. "Predator, what was Vietnam?"

All of my visions of going berserk on rides were shattered by the scope of her ignorance. While I suppose I should give her credit for actually trying to find out information that she was not aware of, I just couldn't handle it. I managed to say "That's frightening."

An impatient female friend of hers walks up and decides to answer it for her. "Vietnam was that war between North and South Korea." Face, meet Palm. I corrected her, informing her that she was thinking of the Korean War. She insisted that I was wrong and that Vietnam was not in fact another southeast asian nation, but the conflict between North and South Korea.

I guess I got a little more fed up than I should have, and I asked how these two could not know this. They responded "It's not like it matters."

Needless to say, I went and found a new clique of people that I actually liked a lot better. I still had fun, but I can't look at those people anymore without remembering some of the most astoundingly ignorant things I've ever heard in my life.

Someone please tell me that I'm blowing this out of proportion. I want to believe that this is a rare case. With all of the movies about Vietnam ever made, (I asked her if she had ever seen Forest Gump. She had.) it seems almost impossible that you could not at least have a vague grasp of what the conflict was. Someone please tell me I was being a jerk.

Entertainment / I want to make a music video
July 10, 2008, 12:41:23 PM
I'm going to propose to a friend of mine and fellow aspiring filmmaker that we collaborate on a music video to test our artistic and editing abilities. I'm going to suggest "We Are One" by Buckethead and Serj Tankian, since the grandiose and yet experimental style fits very well into what I want to accomplish. I've written up an outline. Please, give me some constructive criticism.

The Astounding Two-Headed Movie

FADE IN:

DARK ROOM

A SPOTLIGHT comes down on a ROBOT sitting in a metal rocking chair (a mix between HEL from Metropolis and BUCKETHEAD). An old ORCHESTRAL INTRODUCTION plays.

            THEME, THE ROBOT
Good evening. Thank you. Thank you. Tonight we have something very special to show all of you. It is something that simultaneously exists and does not exist. It is not God. Please direct your attention to the boy in the forest.

INT. FOREST â€" APPROACHING DUSK

SPOTLIGHT is trained on a BOY IN A SUIT standing in front of a LARGE, WOODEN CRATE with several images and symbols drawn on it (CROSS, ELEPHANT, ANARCHY-“A”, STAR-AND-CRESCENT, STAR OF DAVID, DONKEY, etc.). The boy is silent for several seconds. He then puts his hand to the side of the crate. The side of it falls open, REVEALING to us a DARK, EMPTY INTERIOR.

SMASH CUT TO:

DARK ROOM

The eyeless sockets of Theme begin spewing blood. Theme goes into convulsions as guitar feedback blares over the soundtrack.

            REPORTER
Thanks, Trisha. Early last night, Deuxberry Police received distressed calls from farmers and food processing plants, claiming that chickens were in fact rising from the dead and attacking livestock and workers. The police initially balked at early reports as elaborate practical jokes, but when word came in from civilians reporting family members being attacked and even killed by flocks of killer chicken, the police took action.

The reporter approaches a CRIME SCENE with covered bodies and INVESTIGATORS.

            REPORTER
Only one of several crime scenes in the immediate area, two young women were found near this abandoned house, their skin scratched severely and showing signs of what investigators confirmed as chicken bites. The mayor of Deuxberry has yet to release a statement concerning the incident, but there is rumor that all over America, and even parts of the United Kingdom and as far as China, there are reports of dead poultry returning to life. Witnessesâ€"

She is cut off by the sound of BOCKING in the distance off-screen. The area freezes; investigators and POLICE stand still and look around themselves, startled. The bocking is heard again.

About a month ago, I was in the library for an English class and talking to the guy sitting next to me. We had really gotten off on a good foot because of our common love of Slayer and thrash metal and were busily talking music. I ended up mentioning that while I like heavy metal, for me, the greatest rock band ever would always be Queen.

I personally do not care what opinion you have on Queen, but this jerk goes ahead and tells me I'm crazy. I didn't really mind at first... until he said this: 'They only had one good song.'

My bullshit meter went of the scale. It was sensing the kind of nonsense that you only receive from someone who hasn't actually bothered to listen to the band they are talking about. At the top of my lungs, I started shouting out all of the great Queen songs I could think of: 'We Will Rock You! We Are the Champions! Another One Bites the Dust! Killer Queen! Bicycle Race! Don't Stop Me Now! I Want to Break Free! Bohemian Rhapsody! Hammer to Fall! Princes of the Universe! I Want it All! There! That's ELEVEN frickin' songs! And I'm not even done yet!'

The entire library was staring, and I know I was probably being a massive douchebag, but it totally felt good knowing music better than somebody (and I'm not the type of guy who usually knows a lot about music, either).

How about everyone else? Care to comment on your moments of owning the rock-tarded or the music-challenged?

Okay, so that's a generalization and not necessarily what the article says. But the hypocrisy of some of these stories is so mind-boggling that I guess it just goes to show how un-self aware many people are.

http://mypage.direct.ca/w/writer/anti-tales.html?

The Article is called "The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion" and it basically reports that many anti-abortionists around the world who are faced with un-wanted pregnancies get abortions, rationalizing in their own minds that they are the one exception to the rule. In addition, many of these women return right back to picketing and calling abortionists 'murderers' after the service has been offered to them. The article words it much better than I do. Some interesting excerpts if you don't feel like reading the whole thing:

QuoteI've had several cases over the years in which the anti-abortion patient had rationalized in one way or another that her case was the only exception, but the one that really made an impression was the college senior who was the president of her campus Right-to-Life organization, meaning that she had worked very hard in that organization for several years. As I was completing her procedure, I asked what she planned to do about her high office in the RTL organization. Her response was a wide-eyed, 'You're not going to tell them, are you!?' When assured that I was not, she breathed a sigh of relief, explaining how important that position was to her and how she wouldn't want this to interfere with it.

QuoteWe too have seen our share of anti-choice women, ones the counselors usually grit their teeth over. Just last week a woman announced loudly enough for all to hear in the recovery room, that she thought abortion should be illegal. Amazingly, this was her second abortion within the last few months, having gotten pregnant again within a month of the first abortion. The nurse handled it by talking about all the carnage that went on before abortion was legalized and how fortunate she was to be receiving safe, professional care. However, this young woman continued to insist it was wrong and should be made illegal. Finally the nurse said, 'Well, I guess we won't be seeing you here again, not that you're not welcome.' Later on, another patient who had overheard this exchange thanked the nurse for her remarks.

QuoteThe sister of a Dutch bishop in Limburg once visited the abortion clinic in Beek where I used to work in the seventies. After entering the full waiting room she said to me, 'My dear Lord, what are all those young girls doing here?' 'Same as you', I replied. 'Dirty little dames,' she said.

QuoteWe have anti-choice women in for abortions all the time. Many of them are just naive and ignorant until they find themselves with an unwanted pregnancy. Many of them are not malicious. They just haven't given it the proper amount of thought until it completely affects them. They can be judgmental about their friends, family, and other women. Then suddenly they become pregnant. Suddenly they see the truth. That it should only be their own choice. Unfortunately, many also think that somehow they are different than everyone else and they deserve to have an abortion, while no one else does.

It isn't all bad, however, as two nice quotes at the end of people who had changed their beliefs after they had abortions shows. It also mentions how some counselors try to help them understand that their reasons for getting an abortion are no different than everyone else's.

It totally grinds my gears though that these people can be so selfish, trying to deny other women the right to terminate a pregnancy. And what happens when they are faced with the same situation? Apparently, a sense of entitlement and self-righteousness takes over which allows them to receive the exact same service they want to deny others, and then give no thanks at all for it. They even go as far as to claim that the doctors are at fault for them not following normal procedures.

This is a video that my friend had to make for a Calc project. It's a murder mystery and what resulted was actually pretty damn funny. It looks very amateurish, but the editing and comedic timing are actually done pretty well, especially since he plays four rolls in the film.

It's called the Cooling Corpse. Please watch it. I assure you, you will be pleasantly surprised.

On a completely unrelated note, here's some videos of him and his band, The Empirical performing.

Yes, he is quite a talented individual. We are planning on making a movie. I finished the script: Submitted for Your Approval.

It played on Comedy Central a while ago, and it was the single most beautiful thing I ever witnessed. It started off slow, but after the first 10 minutes, it just kept building and building and never slowed down. A nearly flawless effort by all of those involved.

If you're not familiar with the show, then don't look to it as an introduction, as much of the humor contained within are in-jokes. Not only this, being acquainted with past episodes became extremely crucial to understanding the plot, which was probably the most confusing thing I had ever seen. I won't give anything away, but I will say it involves a lot of time travel.

Did anybody else catch it? What were your thoughts?

The Clock Crew Film Academy takes this day (at random) to honor those lepusian entertainers.

To begin, who else could we pick but the famous wise-cracker, native to Warner Brothers' forrests but with the heaviest Brooklyn accent. Bugs Bunny is to the WB as Mickey Mouse is to Walt Disney and stands out as one of the funniest icons in American history. Having many ancestors, he first appeared in his fully realized conception and voice (with a "What's up, Doc?") in A Wild Hare in 1940 with his most famous co-star, Elmer Fudd. He would go on to play opposite pretty much every other character in the Warner Brothers menagerie of classics. Bugs Bunny shorts continued to fill the cinema houses an entertain hundreds and children as well as adults and he remains one of the most personal characters for audiences today.

While we are on the subject of animation, we should give a considerable nod to Disney's own history of woodland creatures. First and foremost, Thumper, the lovable companion of the 1942 animated feature, Bambi. 1951's Alice In Wonderland also contains two rabbit icons: The White Rabbit and the March Hair. Slightly mad, and not at all friendly to Alice, they brought a odd twist of villainy to the role, without the wry humor of Bugs.

Never limited to the animated genre, the lepus took is stab at the horror genre with the macabe classic Night of the Lepus about giant flesh-eating bunny rabbits. "How Many Eyes Does Evil Have?"

The 1978 film Watership Down could perhaps be called an epic. In this complicated world, while the rabbits do not have clothes or modern human furniture, they have the deeper signs of civilization, including language, culture, poetry, and religion.

Jan Svankmajer's Alice also presents a more horrific side to the lepus. Just watch the disturbing movements and symbolisms from the opening shots of the 1988 film.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is, quite possibly, one of the greatest works of comedic genius of all time. Combining both the classic cartoon slapstick with the noir mystery of the 40s, this film is a clever amalgamation of talent and imagination. Roger is the most talented lepus to appear in a motion picture since Bugs Bunny up until that time.

What do time travel, a jet engine, and a dysfunctional family have to do with each other? Its hard to say, but through the macabre masterpiece, 2001's Donnie Darko, we are introduced to Frank, a 6-foot-tall, hideous rabbit from the future, sent to show young, depressed Donnie to his destiny. What that is is anyone's guess, but Frank, while having relatively little dialog, pulls off a masterful performance.

It is interesting to note that Frank is not the first giant, imaginary rabbit to appear in a film. That honor squarely belongs to Harvey, the constantly invisible pal of Jimmy Stewart's character in the 1950 film of the same name (although Harvey was taller than Frank, allegedly by 3 and a half inches).
