  Given the drastic drop in the human population of the city I'm surprised that food is the choke point.

Could be the Distribution system totally fecked up? whole areas non-op, block after block down, what is working will be tryiing to clear the bodies etc before the aftermath deseases etc take hold, and hey anyone who is left isn't used to work  ;)
This. Supplies might be fine, it's getting it to the people that's gonna be hard.

I think you have discovered a new species of cat!  All the ones I've ever served have been torturers the Vatican would be proud of.
Mine quite litteraly lunge on the and snap down on the things neck with there mouth. Never miss, dead before they even realise they where hunted.

The latest prog left me wanting more. That's a good sign, right?

Seriously though, this has really picked up for me in this arc and I really DO want to see more.

Yeah the end of this run really left me hankering for its return. Now its done (for now) I do if people have become more positive. It was a steady build, but what a head of steam it had by the end.
We where wrong to ever doubt Wagner, wheren't we?

Saw a way of using mouse paper that doesn't end up with you having to stove the caught mouse's head in afterwards if yer one ah they peacenik do-gooders.

If you've ever had to listen to a mouse smother itself to death in mouse paper, you'd know it's not just hippies that don't want to use that shit.  It's horrific, and they can take hours to die, terrified and screaming the whole time.
Let nature take its course and borrow a mate's moggy or a small dog - most of the smaller breeds have ratting hardwired.

Just incase anyone gets it twisted I'm all about humane and non lethal ways to get shot of the buggers. I pointed out a way you can free rodents from mouse paper. Also dogs are infinitely quicker at dispatching rodents than cats if you go that route.
I dispise Mouse paper. Horrible, inhumane way to kill other life. My cat's at least dispatch with them quickly and (comparatively) painlessly.

Yep. Works for me.

Although I am now in fear of a MC scripted Stront where Alpha says '....but not you Scottish mutants, we've done a deal with the norms for you to be sterilized. Look, they've given us some food and a lotto ticket!'.

Arsom, I'll be swinging by on Saturday with my pennies clutched in my hot little hand!


EDIT - I mistyped "pennies" first time - which would have given an entirely different spin on my intentions!  :-[

Seeing as our local Cineworld will often re-show such claptrap as Mulan Rouge and Titanic (though, to be fair, last year I did get to see Plague of the Zombies, Quatermass and the Pit, jaws AND Gremlins on the big screen at CW. Not all bad then.) I think it's a possibility.

Isn't Mulan Rouge the hentai version of the Disney cartoon?
You make it sound like it might actualy be good. :lol:

For me the gold standard in supernatural thrillers has been set by Insidius and Sinnister


You mean the "gold standard" in the year that they were actually released. Or month, maybe.
I hope you mean that, anyway.
Naturaly. I view 'horror' as having distinct era's and the current run of rather poor 'supernatural thrillers' naturaly don't match up to The Haunting (original), The Wicker Man, Dont Look Now, the works of Bava, Fulci and Argento and so on and so forth. Insidius and Sinnister do stand out as being genuinly good movies in a sea of piss poor horror flicks I might add though.

I don't really associate Bava, Fulci and Argento with supernatural thrillers.
Sinister was OK, decent ending, Insidious went very bonkers in the last 30 minutes and stopped being scary at all.

I've more love for the likes of Haute Tension, Inside, Eden Lake, Mum and Dad and Martyrs in recent years. Properly scary and disturbing.
I'd never say Insidius or Sinister were scary, there thrillers. But there jolly good fun. Have yet to see the new martyrs so thanks for the heads up.
Oh, and I would accosiate Bava, Fulci and Argento with S-thrillers for a number of titles:
Bava- Black Sunday, Black Sabbath, Lisa and the Devil
Fulci- Gates of Hell trilogy, The Black Cat, Manhatton Baby
Argento- Inferno, Suspiria

Its crazy how many people that watched it for the first time on DVD have said there gutted
they didnt see it at the cinema, My brothers a huge john carpenter fan and he watched it for
the first time on sunday and said its like a carpenter movie and the best action movie he`d seen in over twenty years  :thumbsup:

I wonder if a limited cinema re-release would ever be on the cards?

Paranormal Activity 4

I almost shat my pants!
Because of how piss poor it is surely? It was dire on every level.

I can see how, objectively, it isn't a very good film but I really enjoyed it.

There's something about this series of films that just grips me and even the most simple thing like a moving door or a swinging chandelier is enough to make me start cacking it!
For me the gold standard in supernatural thrillers has been set by Insidius and Sinnister, the entire PA franchise is just a load of over saturated found footage bollocks IMHO.

Watched the first two Dr. Mabuse movies over the last few days, amongst Langs best works.
