So...do you think zombies are a fad already?

Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

You need to watch some Hellsing! :wink:
Yeah Hellsing really made vampires out to be monsters and gave them different levels of intimidation and darkness. I've always liked the idea of Vampires and the darker portrayals of them, especially when it involves old dark powers and secrets. Nosferatu was one of my top 10 favorite movies for many years.

Yeah, I wasn't counting anime. They have some awesome vamps. I really liked the ones in Vampire D: Bloodlust and Blood: The Last Vampire. Supernatural has an anime now too and I wouldn't be surprised to see a cool vamp in that, since the tv show on CW made them out to be monsters, while portraying one that actually tried to fight her primal nature and not kill humans. They spent a whole episode making fun of Twilight too

Planet Terror was fantastic
I disagree. But I swear we've had this conversation already.

Planet Terror was excellent, but they probably mean From Dusk til Dawn, which both Quentin and Rodriguez worked on

George Clooney's first acting role too I believe, before he was a star

I noticed my mom had this on her Kindle.....for shame mom, but im sure my brother had something to do with this.

Even around my little podunk country ass town people have gone zombie crazy in the past couple of years. If something gets that popular here, then yes its only a fad and will pass soon enough.

Surely this will happen eventually:

I thought he was a star by the end of his role in Roseanne and the beginning of his role in ER. Either way, he was working on Dusk right at the same time he was working on Batman:With Nipples.



I watched HARVEY, again, and it is still in the top 2 of my favorite movies of all time. When you feel that the world is against you, there's something calming about watching a movie where the main character thinks the entire world is beautiful, and rooting for you.

The line "Everyday is a beautiful day" still makes me smile.

I have that book in my office next to "Groucho and Me" and "The Gentle Art of Verbal Self Defense". It's a conversation starter.

NO I hate monkeys!

Well, I was remembering the commentary when I watched From Dusk til Dawn and they were saying how they had given him his role in the movie before he had hit it big

I could have sworn they said that.
