the scariest part was the camera snaking through the woods going "rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" as it came towards Ash

Well thats the part, after watching them at a mates house i had to ride my pushbike home.  It was midnight and windy and every god damn fricken tree looked like it was chasing me, I shat me self and rode that bike faster than it was ever rode before.

and OZ still waits!!!!!

I'd say no probs with Army of Darkness, its more goofy than terrifying, not even very gory IIRC.  Now Evil Dead 1 & 2 i'd have to say pass on, those things scared the piss out of a 13 year old me.

man i just found out this doesnt hit OZ til October 25, I swear its been pushed back and still get blank looks when i ask my local cinema if theyre going to be playing it.  its those grud damn Tnhrillsuckers infecting this country i blame 

Cu Radbacker

I hate you all, we've still got to wait a few weeks in OZ.  Have fun you wankers

I'm not fussy but that was one of my favorite episodes the last couple of seasons.  Nice, creepy and pretty self contained, i picked Oswins condition pretty quickly but it was still a shock that she was in a dalek i though she was in the Mainframe or something.  God damn she is a pretty lady though and glad we'll see more of the same actress even if its not the same character, i had a thought that maybe the Doctor would pick her up earlier in her time line as she was going on about how she wanted to explore space and her first trip got her stuck there maybe he'll take pity and pick her up earlier in her life (though may cause timey wimey problems with her death already established but im sure Mophett can write his way around it).

They've been playing the Die Hard nmovies the last couple of weeks, love Die Hard 2 - as a teen after watching and being blown away by the first me and my mates joked that the second one should eb called Die Harder which it was, we were all apropriatly smug when it came out and I have a bit of a soft spot for it and its my favorite in the series.  Some wonderfully violent fights (icicle in eye springs to mind) and arsom squib work (bad dudes just dont get appropriatly shredded in current action movies which Dredd looks likely to remedy) and wickedly final fight on the wing of the Jumbo including man through engine just tops it off.  Appropriatly bigger than the first.
Die Hard with a Vengence was on last night and aside from the stupid title (although appropriate I guess with the main bady being a Gruber) I enjoyed it more than i had on other occasions, once again some wonderfully bloody confrontations that you just dont see in action movies anymore (guy cut in half by the cable a nice nasty one).  Mclain takes a step further towards Super Heroness in this one i swear he's lost several litres of blood by the end and he goes from limping all fucked up tio super shot a bit too much.
Watching these recently even though i didn't mind it on release i realise how water down and fornmula the last one was.

Watched a new Starship Troopers CG movie today, seems to be a directish sequal to the original movie with the humour removed.  NOt too bad to look at for a CG feature and a nice bit of Mech porn towards the end to keep fans of the book happy.  CGI boobies are not that nmuch of a turn on though.  Worth a watch to anyone who enjoyed the original and have managed to sit through the sequals (wiching for better).

Lifeforce: Astronauts find an alien ship in the tail of Halley's Comet and bring the occupants back to Earth with them - unsurprisingly, this turns out to be a terrible idea, but fair play, Mathilda May's boobies are quite lovely and I'd probably take them back home with me given half a chance even if there are thousands of giant humanoid bat creatures floating in the next room that I've seen enough horror and sci-fi to know are almost certainly the true end-form of human-looking beings with perfect boobies and I would absolutely take that chance because the long odds still result in a motorboating I'll be telling the grandkids about.  Anyway, long story short: space vampires, Captain Picard, the end of Quatermass and the Pit.
Admittedly I was going "yes, okay, you've read Dracula so you have the vamps arriving in a ship full of dead people" and there's some dated FX work, but the zombies are still creepy, the bat-creatures - however briefly glimpsed - are still fantastic, and the ambiguous ending seems to suggest the vampires swan off to destroy even more worlds rather than get their comeuppance.  It's a great, garish, gothic slice of fun and doesn't get half the recognition it deserves.

I have memories of this one when i was but a lad of 7 or 8, had never seen so much boob in my whole life to that point and what was that hairy bit down there that was certainly new to me
Very efective movie though and the ending is pretty damn epic (as much as they can manage on the budget) and IIRC you are right the Vamps do get away to do it all again to another planet, cant remember but i think ours had pretty much had it by the end, rampant vampirism spread everywhere, and they are all starving to death because there aint any living left to feed off, bit of a downer of an ending really..

just started another Culture Novel by Banks, Surface Detail which i think is one of his latest ones.  Confusing at the start as usual but can see it starting to turn into something more coherent.  More mention of the Idirian War which sound like an interesting time, has it ever been put to page or do you think it would sort of ruin it like finaly seeing the Clone Wars in Star Wars (which was nothing like what my 6 year old head dreamed up when i saw Star Wars (thats Star Wars not A New Hope), i always imagined resurected armies of bad arse light sabre weilding soldiers, where death on the battle field is not the end you just get put in a new body).

I demand this is directed by James Cameron and is called Prometheuses
Still good news IMHO, still think theres a bit of a story left to tell/retcon.

CU Radbacker

Wow, never read the book but that looks all kinds of interesting.  All a bit confusing and even from that monster 5 minute trailer I'm not really sure what the hell it's supposed to be about (in a good way) buit I want to find out.  The future bit looked like it was out of an anime.

CU Radbacker

quite possibly the greatest song ever, i present 'The Bloody Verdict of Verdun' by one Christopher Lee!

My head exploded when i saw this, it got better of course.

Season of the Kaiju next year, we have this and a new Godzilla on the way (I actually didn't mind the Emerich version but know i'm alone in that).  BUilding sized robots laying the smackdown on scaley monsters from the deep, thats my ticket right there.

CU Radbacker

Thats getting down to it, good to see they're getting a chance to end this properly.  Decent looking battles for a TV show.

CU Radbacker

What he said, comon guys its a fricken Racocon with a gun you cant get much more arsom than that.
I haven't read much of G.O.G however it is one of Abnett & Lannings re-boots in the MArvel U and they usually bring the good stuff, asuming they use Abnett's run as a starting point.
