    Whatever happened to Sword & Sorcery Cinema?

    Yep, we know about it. In fact, there have been a few threads about it in the last few months. :)

    What are some Good Old Fashioned hangover cures?

    I have a friend who swears by water. Whenever he gets drunk, he'll always drink a few glasses of water before he goes to bed. According to him, he's never gotten a hangover since he started doing this. Although I guess I wouldn't consider this a hangover cure; more of a preventive measure.

    The difference between males and females

    :lol: Yeah, I remember reading this a few years back. It's still funny. It also reminds me of a stand-up comedian's comment about the difference between guy movies and chick flicks: Guy movies tend to feature lots of people dying quickly, while chick flicks tend to feature one person dying...

    According to the IMDB, Joanne Whaley and Val Kilmer were together for 8 years. They married after meeting on the set of Willow back in 1988, and divorced in 1996.

    The Eye of Aragon

    I remember this story! I saw a link to it online a couple of years ago, and remember laughing hard at just how awful it was. It's almost as if a Silent Wail started writing sword & sorcery fiction. :D

    Rate King Kong

    Great movie! If it weren't for the slow pacing of the first act, I would have given it a 10. Instead, it gets a 9. This is going to be a definate DVD purchase for me. (And yes, the bug pit was creepy as Hell. I shiver every time I think about it)

    Paint.Net - Like Photoshop but Free?

    http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/ Anybody tried this yet? I've heard from a few people that it does pretty much everything that Adobe Photoshop does, but it's entirely free of charge: It was created as an undergraduate senior design project by Washington State University students as an...

    Thread Capping

    You're thinking of "Threadcrapping", the practice of posting in a thread just to "crap" on what is being discussed. Some examples of threadcrapping would be somebody posting an anti-MMORPG rant in a "Who here plays World of Warcraft?" thread or going to a thread created for discussing the...

    Company Parties

    My office parties don't ever have alcohol (unless you count the unofficial gatherings of coworkers that happen off of company time and property), which I consider a pity; I would love to see how some of my coworkers act while intoxicated. ;)

    Can computers predict which movies will flop?

    Well, I guess I stand corrected. :)

    Can computers predict which movies will flop?

    Huh. Based on everything I've heard, Herbie: Fully Loaded was a tremendous flop. I recall reading that it had a lower box office gross than any other movie that opened on as many screens as it did. Count me in as somebody who loved The Dukes of Hazzard. I know it's not freakin' Lord of the...

    World of Warcraft

    By the way, Zarithar, what is the name of your Paladin? I couldn't seem to locate the actual character's name in your post. Also, please tell me if your tauren druid is on the Doomhammer server: If he is, I'll add him to my Friends list. :)

    Whatever happened to Sword & Sorcery Cinema?

    I hear that if you turn out the lights and say Highlander 2 three times while looking into a mirror, Connor McLeod will reach through the glass and murder you. :uhoh:

    Whatever happened to Sword & Sorcery Cinema?

    Well, at least Conan the Destroyer is kinda fun in a silly, campy sort of way. Highlander 2 isn't even good as camp. It just plain sucks. The only way to make Highlander 2 watchable would be to have Mike Nelson, Tom Servo, and Crow making fun of it as it was playing. Yes, I would get a big...

    Whatever happened to Sword & Sorcery Cinema?

    I'm a big fan of Robert E. Howard's Conan stories (I read them all on a yearly basis, sometimes more often in the case of my favorite few tales such as The People of the Black Circle or The Hour of the Dragon), but I still loved Milius' film despite the many differences from the stories. I...

    Whatever happened to Sword & Sorcery Cinema?

    Count me in as somebody who thought that Conan the Barbarian was a great movie. It's one of the most-watched DVDs in my collection.

    Can computers predict which movies will flop?

    For everyone wondering how much Munich cost to make, I heard a report on the news the a while back where it mentioned that the movie cost around $70 million to make. And I agree with JD that The New World will probably bomb. I first started seeing the trailers months ago, and it gave me no...

    Whatever happened to Sword & Sorcery Cinema?

    Well, there are rumors that Robert Rodriguez (of Sin City fame) is going to direct a new Conan movie, so perhaps there is some hope for sword & sorcery genre on the big screen.

    Can computers predict which movies will flop?

    I think that's an understatement. Some of the opinions and behavior I've witnessed from Hollywood types over the last few years makes me wonder if they're from the Bizzaro world from the old Superman comics. ;)
