Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted July 5, 2008 Paid Members Share Posted July 5, 2008 The correct place to put Freddy Vs Jason is in the bin. Freddy VS Jason's great, the worst film of both the franchises is Jason goes to hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelEdge Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I have all my dvd's in alphabetical order, but with sequels grouped together in chronological order. Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, Batman Begins. (I dont have Batman and Robin cos well, its a load of donkey cock!). When The Dark Knight comes out on dvd, would you group it under 'B' as the next Batman film in the series, or under 'D' for Dark Knight? The only film set I have where they are separated is the Evil Dead trilogy. Evil Dead 1 and 2 are separate from Army of Darkness (Evil Dead 3).Something totally unrelated to dvd's i've been wondering while i've watched bits of Wimbledon. The 'love' term comes from the french word l'oef, meaning egg, cos the 0 looks like an egg. So why do they change it and use the term 'zero' when announcing the scores for a tie break? (Eg. 'One-Zero, Federer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted July 5, 2008 Paid Members Share Posted July 5, 2008 Does anyone know a good website to buy single issues of comics from the last few years?preferably with cheap postage, I've got a few comic shops near me but there are a couple of issues I can't find in them.

Its not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cum Doctor Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Little Ticketmaster question here.If, where it says "Find Tickets" it doesn't say "Currently Not on Sale" or something to that effect, and allows you to continue to buying tickets, does that mean that the event is actually not sold out ?

Paid Members Au Posted July 8, 2008 Paid Members Share Posted July 8, 2008 You could do what I do and organise them by sub-genre, that's proper OCD I arrange mine by colour. Try that for OCD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members chokeout Posted July 8, 2008 Paid Members Share Posted July 8, 2008 Totally random and seriously in OCD territory, but when stacking DVDs do sequels go on the left or right hand side of the original?Right, I'd say.yeah, so it goes:Movie 1, Movie 2, Movie 3, etc..........having it go:movie3, movie 2, movie 1, is just fucking stupid.Cheers guys I'm trying to organise my shelves and this was really bugging me! You could do what I do and organise them by sub-genre, that's proper OCD That gets really confusing if like me you also try to put them in some sort of preferential order too which I do, and if I have DVDs with the same actor in lots of them I want to keep them together which makes it even worse.But sequels always to the right of the first one.What if you have all the Nightmare on Elm St films, all the Friday the 13th films and Freddy VS Jason, what's the correct order to put those in?I actually have them on my shelf in the following order: Friday the 13ths in order by number - Freddy vs Jason - Nightmare on Elm Streets. I've also done the same with Aliens and Predator: Aliens Legacy, Aliens Quadrilogy, Alien vs Predator (dvd has never been watched it was bought for me and I hate Paul Anderson) Predator 1&2.The one that has always annoyed me is where do I put the original Casino Royale and Never say Never Again, their stupid Red Boxes look out of place when put in the middle of my Bond Collection lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Au Posted July 10, 2008 Paid Members Share Posted July 10, 2008 It is... although it now reads out of stock It says on the site it's been dispatched so hopefully I managed to get it before they sold out It arrived yesterday. Cue a group of 6 of us flailing about like idiots and me nearly breaking my arm when I fell over doing yoga. Great stuff!Anyway, my question for today - how do they simulate drug use in movies/TV? Obviously stuff like coke can be easily replaced with baking soda but what about scenes like Vincent jacking up in Pulp Fiction? Did Travolta really stick a needle in his arm? Was it a stand in? What did they inject? What was cooked up on the spoon? I always find myself fascinated by how they do things to make it look so real on screen whereas, I assume, there can't be any real drugs involved.

I did consider it could be a prosthetic arm, that's been the most likely answer for this case but I'm still quite interested in how things like that are actually done.Another example would be in medical programs like ER, or even Scrubs - giving injections or inserting the catheter to enable breathing - are the cast medically trained? I know that the ER cast would go through some training and get given a fairly hefty medical text book prior to appearing on the show but what about other shows?

If you scan the credits there will be a list of people who are medical advisors to the show, plus some actors and actress espcially for casualty and holby in the past, will often job shadow... or at least used as it was a big thing when ever a new cast member was interviewed to make sure that they kinda knew what they were doing.

Good god.Whilst I'm aware that a catheter is used for something else as well, I'm fairly certain the tube they stick down your throat is catheter as well, although I could be entirely wrong.So anyway, drugs - what about they millions of pills in Layer Cake? Mocked up by the props department? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
