holy crap -
DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE.
I just watched it tonight, and felt that I blew a perfectly good ten bucks. this is seriously the worst movie I've seen in recent memory. when I got home I had to watch macross plus to get the foul stench of crappy movie off of me.
... or not. there WERE a lot of people there who seemed to enjoy it. maybe you have to be a big rob zombie fan to fully enjoy the movie.
are you kidding me? constructive criticism! i know it's late but how about giving some points you didn't like about it? this is probably the first time i've ever been excited about hearing someone's negative comments. this is fun ^-^ spill it!
Spoiler (Highlight to view) -
for me, a lot of stuff got on my nerves at first. like the "cut to old-timey spookshow" scenes. but then i thought back to a lot of Rob's gimmicks and the few music videos i've seen. eventually it became an art. it was just something i expected and grew attached to
the only other thing i can think of is the four kids in the beginning of the movie. when i first saw them, i thought "how original. two young couples." then i thought of all those old terror movies and how they started off. Rob was either making an homage to those movies or poking fun at that certain predictability about them
anyways, i dunno about you but i couldn't fucking wait for those kids to die. when they grew out of the character of your average punkass teenager into the character of a Resident Evil survivor without any weapons, the movie became a blast
oh yea, assholes in the theater ruined that "kill the last officer scene." i never got to experience it like how it was meant to be. you can imagine how pissed i am. (yep, i'm a big fan of those Eva "silent scenes." when people bash them, people anger me)
End of Spoiler
by the way, i've waited three years for this movie, and i was obsessed with those zombie horror films when i was a kid (around 5-8 years old). my opinions may be a tad bit biased. but, this is probably the first movie i saw that i wanted to go back and see again. i think that says something

okay, macross plus isn't the issue - but my point was I had to watch one of my favorite movies to try to make up for the waste of ten bucks I just sat through.
but I guess I was right - I WASN'T the audience for this movie. if you're supposed to appreciate classic cheesy horror films, backwoods freak side shows, and rob zombie to get this movie, it was just way over my head.

funny thing. (and i'm not saying this to anger you. just pointing something out.) i saw Macross Plus and i thought it was the most boring crap to fill my tv screen. i have almost no knowledge of the Macross universe and a friend let me borrow it. when he was asked, "do you have to know anything about Macross to enjoy this?" his reply was, "nah, you'll be ok." i literally fell asleep a couple of times trying to finish it
see? I guess its kinda like that. I grew up watching robotech, and eventually I got a fansub of Do You Remeber Love when I was like ten - so I am fully aware of the macross universe, thus macross plus is my favorite part of it (unless the upcoming episode of macross zero proves me otherwise).
I think I was expecting something more... or maybe expecting something different from house of 1000 corpses. maybe I should have guessed it would be a 90 minute rob zombie video? maybe that's my fault. but seriously, I was expecting to be scared, or at least entertained. to this day only three movies truly scare me: the shining, exorcist, and the ring / ringu. and if a "horror" movie isn't going to be scary, at least be entertaining like the scream movies. but since I got neither, I left really disappointed.

okay, first make sure the place where you host your images supports php. now make a directory for your images and such.
make a new txt document in notepad with just this in it.
<?php
//uberRandom Image Script,
//by Ryan Lukasik (ryan@uberpolak.tk), Jan. 12, 2003
//Free to use, just please leave this block intact.
//Call this script with <IMG SRC="whateveryousavethisas.php">
//"images.dat" will contain the name of each image file
$imgs = file("images.dat");
header("Location: " . $imgs[rand(0,sizeof($imgs) - 1)]);
?>
save the file as randimg.php
next make another new txt file with all the images you want randomized listed in it. save this as images.dat
upload all the images, randimg.php and images.dat into the directory you created.
the source for image should look like this:
http://yourspace.com/your directory/randimg.php
likewise, when used in html it should look like
<img src=http://yourspace.com/your directory/randimg.php>
check out my directory to see what everything should look like.
click

I at least saw a poster of it in front of one of the music shops close to the campus I'm on. Since I saw it while I was riding a bus, I didn't get to check out much else -- my first impression was that it was House of the Dead renamed, given how close the names are. I was thinking that Sega didn't like the results of the film, and took away the association. Now having seen the trailer, though -- I see that's not the case.
(... would've been amusing, though.)

happy birthday to me, motherfucker!
Dude, no way.
JJJ, today (Saturday, April 12) isn't your birthday, is it? Or was it April 11?

oh, and my birthday was the 11th. please don't wish me a happy one. i understand everyones' good intentions when they say that, but that phrase really bugs the hell out of me. lemme guess. your birthday, OmegaDog, is today, the 12th!
Yes indeed, it's the 12th. And, well, with regards to yours, I didn't/won't say anything ^_^

totally slipped my mind
I remember, when I was still frequenting the GameFAQs forums, that there was a BIG page full of birthdays of some particular video game characters (was it just SNK, or was it more?). I don't remember the link.

we've got a forested area near my house (it was a lot bigger when i was younger and the area was undeveloped). reminded me a lot of that place because we scared ourselves stupid, telling eachother that there was an evil presence there
man, i miss my childhood
Heh heh -- scary forest stories are always fun. I remember when my family would visit Yosemite with a couple other families. At night around the campfire, we would freak each other out by telling each other stories about the forest. One of them, I remember, was that we were camping on what was previously a burial ground; we needed to watch out that zombies didn't rise from the ground, drag our sleeping bags out of the tents, drag us to a cliff, and send us plummeting to our deaths.
Ah, nostalgia...
