I'm amazed people still take Loose Change seriously. I mean, come on.

Ah man, I need to see this picture. Man up, face your fear, find the pic and post it. Little bitch.

Last guess, was it this one?

Which picture? This one.......

Someone please refresh my memory, what happened on the April 6th edition of Raw?

Also, isnt it a little bit strange that Wrestlemania 25 can potentially win both Best and Worst event of the year?

Voting closes on the 17th.

On my birthday. (hint hint, I really want a birthday thread this year )

Its a joke that Seven and Supremo can get so many votes. Rubbing people up the wrong way is something completely different to being a dolt. Neither are dolts, clearly. I thought the only people who would be voting for Seven would be Kenny (way more of a dolt than Seven could ever be) McBride and Carbomb, but both because of personal issues with him instead of actually thinking he is a dolt - which in turn would make them dolts for not even understanding the point of the poll.

We love you Mab.

 

Besides, Supremo has this in the bag this year with his spectacular fall from grace. From Best Poster to laughing stock in one graceful plummet. And on a personal note, I voted for him because he's got this weird obsession with me where he continuously tries to get some type of win back like he's Triple H or something, still annoyed that he had to look at the lights some years earlier. It's sad really as some of his "outrageously good posts" probably deserve to be nominated for Post of the Year.

Weird. I used that exact description of you in the Ammo thread this year.

Here it is:

Also, I really like Loki as a poster, but whenever Supremo is around, he pops up and starts taking shots like he is Triple H looking to get his win back after being buried a couple of years ago. Whenever he is debating with Supremo, he comes across real desperate, like he is just dying to get on up on him or something.

Is that the one where

If so then I loved that ending.

No, thats Urban Legends 2.

Drag Me To Hell - Whilst undoubtedly very good, it's outrageously silly at times. That's clearly the intention but it sort of spoiled the film a little bit. Slightly surprised at the fact it's getting called the best horror film in years. It may be great but the large of amounts of humour really detract from the horror elements and ensure that all but the tensest moments are devoid of any real scare.

I'm the only one seemingly not getting the love for this movie. While I thought some scenes were pretty nifty, overall it was just pretty silly really. I'm down with the whole supernatural elements, because it would be pretty silly to have that as a gripe in a film of this sort, but the way it which its all executed is disappointing. The scares are the same old, same old type of "everything goes still and silent, the BANG goes a loud noise and something pops up" thing, thats really just jumpy bits rather than an actual scare or do anything in the way of creating tension.

I don't think it would have ever been the best of the series, simply due to the first two being of such a high standard, and Fincher not having the experience of either Scott or Cameron.

Luckily the fourth stopped it from being the worst.

 

It was interesting to hear that the movie cost $18 million. I know that that was still a decent whack in the 80s, but considering the size of the sets, the number of props, prosthetics, effect shots, etc.. Waterworld has no excuse.

 

I don't think Bishop was going to literally exorcise the alien from Ripley. The premise was that the monks saw Ripley as being sent from God, to test their ability to resist temptation, and so saw everything spiritually.

Maybe thats one of those myths that snowballed over years, but I'm pretty certain there are early drafts of scripts for the monastery version of Alien 3, and an exorcism was in there, which is one of the things that gets ridiculed heavily to this day. I'll see if I can dig it up - but I'm not 100% on it, like I said, it could be just one of those urban legends.

I did like the premise of them looking at everything spiritually, viewing the Alien as a demon being sent to punish them for coveting a woman and so forth, but I do prefer the prison approach.

I never thought 3 was that bad. I'd read beforehand that they were going for a more claustrophobic Alien type film, than the 80's splatterific adrenaline rush style of Aliens, so I wasn't disappointed by it.

 

I see flaws with it now, but I also know more about the problems in making it. Some of the puppet work is a bit shonky, but I still do enjoy it for the most part.

 

Have you seen the storyboards for the the earlier "Wooden Planet" version?

I thought that wooden planet/monastery idea would have been terrible. Having a Bishop exorcise an alien out of Ripley would have been too much. Some of the individual scenes sounded ok, but the overall premise just didn't do it for me.

I think Alien 3 gets an unfairly hard time from most people. I thought it was a good film that fit well with the other two and rounded off the trilogy nicely.

I agree that its just nonsense and nothing more than shadow/light tricks ala the Face on Mars from a few years ago. I just came across it this afternoon and thought of this thread so I posted it.

I know its a couple of days old, and probably just nonsense, but I might as well post it for anyone who missed it;

CLOVERFIELD - 7.5/10, I'd been meaning to watch this since it 1st came out but all the copies I came across were shite quality then I totally forgot about it till it turned up on Sky Movies this week. I thought it was pretty good better than some of the reviews I'd read for it even tho the handheld camera way the made it done my tits in at times, the ending was pretty shite tho.

 

Out of interest, how would you have ended it? Personally I thought the ening was absolutely perfect.

I'll put my post to this in spoilers cause the ending to Cloverfield is described.

I kind of get why I made the list, but when you see some of the people i'm up against it seems like i'm just someone stuck on the end to make up the numbers. Same with MrMiDaS, Steveo and thejeffjarrettone.

Its nothing of the sort. Your not there to make up the numbers, there is no rule that says there has to be 10 in the poll. The under-rated poster of the year only has 7 people in the poll. You're in there, like everyone else, cause you got enough nominations to be in there. Nothing to do with making up the numbers.

Supremo all the way.

Cheers for the nomination though, that's sweet.

No problem, you were on my list, along with Daz and Legend Killer. I haven't voted though, I'm seriously torn between the three of you.

You should vote for me then. I need it more!

Or is it a race between me and Dirty Eddie to get the least amount of votes proving our under-rated-ness?

Randy Orton v the world.

Triple H v Jeff Hardy

Shawn Michaels v Chris Jericho

Edge v Vickie - with Edge turning all psychotic on Mick Foley - in the run up to Summerslam. I thought that whole month was awesome the way they had Undertaker v Edge in a Hell in a Cell, yet Undertaker was only making up the numbers.

Edge teasing Vickie that he was going to turn over her wheelchair and then eventually turning it over. I dont know if that moment was meant to be funny, but I thought it was hilarious.

Miz and Morrison making fun of Festus.

And I know I'm probably in the minority here, but even though DX is cringe-worthy most of the time now, I thought the promo they did on the special 3 hour Raw where the mocked themselves (Triple H's big nose, Michaels receding hairline etc) was excellent.

Right, I'm just going to start pasting in freaky_jason's nominations in my posts!
