You know what, let's see if we can't get revive this discarded thread. I have MANY dvd library updates to report on since we took leave, so maybe we can all start by doing just that. I will be back tomorrow and the next day, and if I see no progress, PMs will follow. Let's do this thing!

Well, while I have nothing but the utmost respect and love for women, that girl with the enormous chest bombs does look like she is angling for a mangling *wink nudge*.

Anyway, I posted a similar topic here last year when I bought Leisure Suit Larry Magna Cum Laude and it got virtually no feedback. I assumed that it was because most of the people here are too young to be nostalgic about the original series while simultaneously being too young to buy it (or convince their parents to buy it for them). Either way, I thought this would have a better shot since it’s already banned as far as I know, so everybody regardless of age has an equal opportunity to acquire it online.

Apparently somebody spilled some yogurt:

Rapelay, for those of you who don’t yet know, is the latest sex sim from the developers at Illusion. Essentially it is like any other sim game, except in this case you simulate rape scenarios instead of building capital or nurturing healthy relationships. From what I understand, you develop your predatory prowess by molesting women in a number of different environments (the subway for example) until you can build your way up to actual forced intercourse with graphic, imaginative, and overtly depraved positions and commands. Aside from the traditional positions, there is apparently a bukkake scene, a jackhammer, and a DP scene among others, all of which with surprisingly elaborate and comprehensive interactivity. The challenge of course is selecting the most prime, vulnerable prey, and being sure to proceed with your missions correctly so as not to get stabbed by the hapless digital date bate.

Though your modern sensibilities may insist that you be wholeheartedly offended by such a concept coming to fruition, it seems like the type of thing any serious game reviewers feel obligated to pan and condemn, yet secretly delight in the sheer ironic hilarity of it.

Here is one of the only “clean” screencaps I could find to post, one of the female characters before her giant torpedoes there become subject to some very intense groping (which obviously turn out to reveal a very critical plot element in them game).

Let’s get serious now.

Religion is a very large contributing factor to our not making any progress with global warming. Whether it’s admittedly so or not, the most plausible reason for most people not feeling a sense of immediacy in our need to counteract climate shifts which we have brought on through wasteful polluting lifestyles, is the idea that there is a “heaven” or afterlife which transcends a reliance on our earthly world. How can we ever hope to see any positive action taken towards this issue, if there are so many people under this impression? It’s unpardonably selfish to consider the destruction of the planet inconsequential because it will either happen after your lifetime or because you assume you have some place in “heaven”, where you will be able to live eternally in happiness. Obviously nobody who likes to project an image of understanding and genuine compassion for all living things would ever own up to this type of thinking on a subconscious or conscious level. Maybe it is just in our nature to plead ignorance, that if you ignore it, it will go away. No competing school of thought refutes the existence of global warming. But if you do subscribe to any of the god-fearing belief systems, would he not see through that? Do you really think so little of this omnipotent all-knowing force, that you assume going through the motions and simply acting the part will dupe him into thinking you have sincere concern; you should give your gods more credit. If god created the earth, than he gave us dominion over it, is it not our duty to do anything within our power to ensure its perpetuation, our responsibility? I think I would be right pissed if I gave something as brilliant and beautiful as the planet earth to a group of people, and then found out that only a small fraction of them are genuinely and selflessly doing anything and everything they can to prevent its annihilation. Furthermore, of the ones who were taking action, a disproportionate amount of them didn’t even believe in me. Well really, you’re amiss by any standard if you don’t do everything you can. No god is ever going to reward your apathy just because you did some hand gestures and put on a suit every Sunday morning. If anybody should be concerned with global warming it’s you churchy lot, because facing judgment, I certainly wouldn’t want such a loaded conscience working against me. I guess maybe you are all too busy striking fear into us nonbelievers to do anything truly productive.

And then the Lord spake unto the Christian hoards, saying, you didn’t do everything you could to preserve my life’s work. My beautiful creation called earth, and instead tried to buy your place among me through empty ritual and fear based faith, all the while incinerating the fossils of the dinosaurs (which I only put there to test your faith of course) in order to propel your fat gluttonous asses around sitting on the carcass of my cattle, which in turn poisoned the air and created a large bubble of toxic gas in place of you environment. You are all damned to hell to burn for eternity, because I can be a dick like that sometimes.

An incredibly gruesome movie, it's about a painter who goes into a sewer, only to find a mermaid. He takes her home, and she develops horrible tumors and sores all over her body. The most memorible scene was when worms spewed from her wounds, and she started to vomit blood and worms. I found myself with one word in my mind: "Wow." But as much as I wanted to say this, I found it impossible. I found myself paralyzed. Nevertheless, I LOVED this movie.

**Spoilers, you may not care though**

This movie was effective on some level, but was not a "good" film technically speaking. You should also give more credit to the actual storyline, which deals more with the psychological study of an artist whose wife is dying (or has died) of stomach cancer. It seems pretty straight forward (though insane, granted) until near the end when we start to get some hints as to what is really going on, and in the end we are given the full reveal in the form of a faux news report. The fact that they went with that utterly ugly picture quality which you get from home video camcorders kind of adds to how truly grotesque the effects and images are. To be honest, once they got right into the heavier gore I completely forgot that they were using a 200 dollar camera to film it. You should also add that the artist went into the sewer for inspiration for his painting, because since his wife got sick he was unable to paint anything pretty. It's truly a well written story, it's just a shame that they sort of wasted it by not using a more professional camera. If this were made now it could look outstanding, because it could be done on DV...... which gives me an idea actually. I would have liked to have seen this done on a blown up 16 stock and it could have been brilliant. As it stands, this and ‘Flowers of Flesh and Blood’ are still head and shoulders above the entire rest of the series. Though for gorehounds, the box set is a really cool item just to have in your collection, because in the case of the main two (devils experiment and flowers of flesh and blood), it is truly the most mean-spirited, depraved, pointless and plot-less montage of sick violent imagery you can find.

Except for the fact that I already mentioned my buying the Guinea Pig box set, so I have seen them all and then some. There are some outstanding gore effects to be seen throughout the entire series, but that is really the extent of their usefulness. 'Devil Doctor Woman' and "He Never Dies' were both pretty fun, but the only one I could even start to consider a decent film based on writing, is ‘Mermaid in a Manhole’, if only they weren't all shot on the same type of Sony camcorder I record my Christmas mornings with the family on,,,,,, fuck.

It’s a more obscure Bergman effort, but what I like about it is its simplicity and understated beauty, as well as the emotional honesty, something I have noticed a serious lack of from most directors now that I know better.

Damn you, -GhostMint-! Damn you straight to Pittsburgh! Now I have to go back and watch it again to see if it's held up for me since the 20+ years ago I last watched it. Like I don't have enough movies to experience for the first time!

I would be interested to hear an update on this line of discussion. I have been holding back lately when it comes to criticizing films that I am not fond of or didn’t work for me, but I feel like I am going to start letting you all know exactly how I feel from this point on, but I wont be rude or condescending about it.

Yes, most impressive. Thanks for the pic! Seeing the cover for The Iron Man, I know I've seen it before, but can't even conjure up so much as an image that links me to it. It's #10 on my Netflix list, just after Suspiria.

Have you never seen ‘Suspiria’? It is absolutely required viewing, and I went into greater detail a few pages back when I was discussing it with NewAgeOutlaw. He thought it was just okay, but I insist it is both excellent and important.

I own that as well, but it's still in the shrink wrap [Dawn of the Dead Ultimate Edition]. I just recently got it and want to be able to sit for uninterrupted hours on end watching everything.

Oh man, this is the boxset that made me decide once and for all that I wanted to make films for a living. The featurettes and the full length documentary are so insightful and provide a great view into what it takes to get a film made. It’s inspirational and informative. On the other hand, it is something you are going to want to devote an entire day to, so be ready.

Once I add 'Vital' and 'Hiruko the Goblin', it will be rounded off to a point I am content with. He made a short film which is apparently inspired by ‘Cube’ (another favourite for me) called ‘Haze’, so hopefully they release that as well. I also heard that Shinya is wanting to do a third Tetsuo called ‘Tetsuo: In America’, so I will bring further news on that as I receive it.

Yes that was a fine film. I also loved ‘Ran’.

Which Bergman films are you watching?

Well I own ‘The Virgin Spring’ which is my favourite. I might get his box set with ‘Hour of the Wolf’ and ‘Persona’ which are also excellent, but that means I will need to buy ‘The Seventh Seal’ and the five disk ‘Fanny And Alexander’ Criterion releases separately. He also has a trilogy out from Criterion, but I have not seen any of the three films in that set, though one of them is what Catherine Breillat (director of the outstanding ‘A Ma Soeur!’) cites as the reason she started making films. So we shall see. My dvd collection is a perpetual undertaking.

Oh that wasen't really a review just my views on it ...
Uuuh ... what? Oh, wait! Is that like The Omen (2006) isn't a "remake", it's a "retelling" of the same story? HA-HA! I'm just bustin' your chops.

I am one of the rare few genre buffs who actually didn’t care for the original, and seeing it again last week on TMN reminded me that it is also horribly dated. I am not talking about picture and imaging technology either, I mean the fact that it came from an era where strong acting was never a priority, and the fact that you couldn’t show it to a ten year old today and elicit even a startle. As much as I loved Gregory peck in ‘Spellbound’ and ‘Cape Fear’, I couldn’t help but yearn for Max von Sydow every time Greg strained to communicate even the most primary and basic of emotions. And don’t get me started on Lee Remick, I was pulling for her to be killed just so I didn’t have to endure another one of her stilted, awkward monologues. The characters were not engaging, the cinematography was ugly, and the editing certainly didn’t help any. It even had one of those 70s camp essentials where it takes like five minutes during that impalement scene to keep cutting back and forth from the spike falling and the priest’s ridiculous expression before he is pierced, it was hilariously typical.

So a remake was a good idea, except all they did was pay homage to a film that sucked to begin with, pointless. Remaking classics is usually a disaster because they just undermine the merits of the original, but remaking cheese like ‘The Omen’ and treating it like a classic is a waste of a good opportunity. You would think they could do so much more with a story about the bloody son of Satan! Instead all they did was infuse it with crisper contemporary Hollywood production values, some insipid “boo” scares accompanied by loud blasts of sound (a current and annoyingly pervasive convention), and a couple of trendy current “in” celebrities with a frown-a-tron 5000 boy-bot probably made by Sony. The shameless use of 9/11 and Katrina footage was neither appropriate nor profound, and in a shallow, uninspired film it’s pretty offensive (not to me but to people who are prone to take offence at such things).

People who want to insist that it is trash because they are insulted by anything unfamiliar, which challenges their sheltered sense of what is and isn’t “correct” in a film, well they will do so and continue to live in their little bubbles of ignorance. Of course, Miike doesn’t make films for soccer moms and uneducated douche bag video store clerks, so they can just eat my ass if they want to pretend to have a valid opinion on a realm of cinema which will NEVER be accessible to them.

You know what, twist endings are a huge gamble. They can go either way very easily, and more often than not they are a disaster. I admire them for going all in with that ending, luckily it was a very cleverly crafted film, and a lot of other filmmakers should take notes on it. Some of the worst movies are ruined by a twist ending, and some of the best ones culminate at them. The best way to approach it is to ensure that it is as organic as possible, lest it end up like that dreadful Jolie vehicle, 'Taking Lives', for example, avoid such odious blunders at all cost.

I own this movie in the uncut format and I didn’t bother with the theatrical, which is par for the course with me these days. So basically I have no idea, but look at the runtimes. If the rated version is anything more than roughly a minute and a half shorter than the unrated, you are probably being robbed of a significant amount of crucial plot development (by that I mean gratuitous and stomach churning gore effects). Though as a purist, I don’t even give censored editions the time of day.

Oh it is more than worth checking out. I don’t even like to explain this man’s films, I can’t even do them justice. I own ‘Tetsuo: The Iron Man’ and ‘Tokyo Fist’ at the moment and can’t seem to shake my obsession with them. I also just had another Amazon.ca relapse and bought three more of the genius Tsukamoto’s films, ‘Gemini’ which you mentioned, ‘Snake of June’ which is a work of breathtaking beauty and is incredibly moving, and ‘Bullet Ballet’ which is said to be the inspiration for Miike’s ‘Pistol Opera’.

You know what though, Fulci does help us understand the difference between suspense and mystery, which seems to be common in Italian directors. Lately though, I have been building my collection of Asian films, and the European and western ones have taken a serious backburner.

I also think that worked because the events were also excessive. For example, the storm of meal worms wasn't just an assault of baby beetles being sprayed at the actors, it was a nonstop onslaught of thousands upon thousands of meal worms being blasted through a hose at seemingly near supersonic speeds. That was brilliant!

Shinya Tsukamoto uses maggots in his films a lot too, I was just watching Tetsuo and it reminded me of this. Argento used them in Suspiria also. Without thinking too much, I really can’t say I see it as much in American films.

Yeah it was pretty gratuitous. Still, the movie had a very unique quality to it, and it is legitimately creepy overall. I also loved that drill in the head scene. The one thing I think I can actually put my finger on about why it was such a surreal film was the character motivation. Every action was just “a bit much”, and people reacted so excessively. It normally would make a film awful for me, but in this case it was okay because it was consistent for all the characters.

it reminded me of the vomit scene in Team America: World Police.

That film was an instant classic for me.

Do you have an actual bulldog? My wife and I love dogs, I've had one almost all my life, but we currently travel far too much to properly take care of one so we fill the space with stuffed dogs, one of which is a bulldog.

I have a 16 year old West Highland White Terrier right now, and when he goes I will be getting a Bulldog. I also have a gecko, two cats and a pond full of those big spotted Koi goldfish in the backyard. It sounds pretty busy, but we used to have twice that. It used to be like Marine Land in our basement, even a shark was down there at one point.

By the by, how is your most recent Flash project going? Any projections as to when we'll get to see it?

I told you it would be here earlier this month, so obviously I meant give or take a month (or two). I'm almost entirely complete with the graphics, so I have made some serious progress and it will not be too long now. The problem is that I keep getting more ideas and it requires extra work I had not anticipated in the written story. It’s coming along pretty well, and I just hope it doesn’t end up being ten minutes long or something.

I am not talking about it much because I don't want to build it up, but it will definitely be probably the greatest piece of conceptual animation ever made, I mean without a doubt, but don't get excited.

Also, I just picked up Stubbs the Zombie yesterday for around $10.50 with a $10 coupon. I played for a couple of minutes, but trying to work Stubbs with the keyboard and the camera with the mouse is enough to drive me crazy. I hope to pick up a PC gamepad on Friday. For the short amount of time I played, I found it enjoyable. The screams of my victims were enough to bring a smile to my face.

I forgot about that game when I started saving for my new PC (almost there), but it is on the top of my list after I get it. It will be the next bit of software I buy.

By the way, everybody should watch 'Match Point' and 'Munich'.

The main criticisms with this film are the alleged "plot holes". I have often joked that it would require a plot in order to contain holes. But that wasn't the point of the film, and it needs to be viewed more abstractly. Even with huge fans of the genre it's often misunderstood that it is supposed to be looser and more conceptual one. Saying it doesn't follow a traditional storyline style is redundant, it's like complaining that your water is too wet. Do you honestly think that Dario was unaware of the fact that he shoehorned 70 minutes of expository information into a five minute conversation? Of course he knew what he was doing, he was just getting it out of the way so he had more time to drive the story visually, in this case where it counted. You admitted that the visual techniques and style were breathtaking, so you can't fault him for maximizing the time in which he was able to explore it. I'm the first to admit that the audio dubbing was awkward sounding, but the Goblin soundtrack is all the dialog you really need. On top of that, there was some genuine suspense and elaborate death sequences which are deserving of respect from anybody. I am, not a fan of style of substance, but this film knows what it is and revels brilliantly in it. You can also catch some outstanding political symbolism throughout if you have the capacity.

Well since ‘Imprint’ wasn't aired due to censorship issues, we are likely to have to wait for the DVD for the best of the episodes. I saw a half a dozen of those, and of them my favourite was Lucky's entry, 'Sick Girl'. 'Homecoming', although heavy handed, was very relevant and enjoyable as well.

Tonight, I will be watching Argento's Suspiria for the first time. I heard that it's quite an experience.

I can't believe you are allowed to post in here without having seen this. For shame! I own the three disk limited edition with production stills and the brilliant Goblin soundtrack (neener neener). Overall it is an incredible accomplishment in both style and atmosphere, and I still can't say whether I like it as much as or more than 'Deep Red'.
