X-Entertainment | Zathura killed X-E.



	My dying wish is for an owl/camel hybrid, which I call camowl.

Zathura killed X-E.

It's October, and yes, I missed Friday's entry. Was going to try to whip up one quick this morning, but I had whipping up ones quick. Whipping up ones quick sucks. Consider yesterday's non-entry a loan that I will make up for with an extra entry later. I gotta get to work on next week's shite.

Why'd I skip? Had to go to a screening for Zathura for a couple of work-related projects. I don't think I'm allowed to "review" the movie for like a month or something, but I will say that Sony impressed me by turning what would normally only be a dry screening event into a pizza party.

This is your surveyless Saturday thread -- surveyless because the previous thread seems to still be kickin' ass old school.

Here’s a substitute for everyone:

Electronic Gaming Monthly presents: four do-it-yourself video game-based Halloweeen costumes, and all for under $40!

I’m all about the Space Invader alien costume. If I wanted to be a naked Sim, I’d just walk outside naked. That’s how I roll.

I want a pizza party…
And a pool party…
And more things to remind me of Aquabats songs.

I knew this saturday thread was going to be an early one.

I bought Rocky Horror Picture Show on DVD and I’m checking out the commentary now. Way too excited to be watching a movie I’ve seen about 800 + times…I never did make it to a theater for the full experience, weirdly enough, but my old VHS version was pretty much in constant rotation in high school. I totally bought the DVD for myself as an "early Halloween present" which I never would have done before X-E.

My mom won’t let me see the Rocky Horror Picture Show:( She says it’s wrong and disturbing. I am so out of here when I turn 18. Snivvian sucker punch!

I wish I could go back in time and erase Tim Curry’s existance. The man just creeps me out no matter what role he plays and I just don’t think he’s that funny…I dunno, maybe I just don’t get…

Bummed…in Germany…tired…of…delayed…programming!

I was Brad in the live cast at the Johns Hopkins Rocky Horror performances for 3 semesters (before we got caught with alcohol and couldn’t perform that Spring… ironically, the party we had instead of a show that semester was the only place I’ve *ever* had alcohol). Great great fun…

Ooh and I’ve got a plane ticket to get me to B’more to see the new JHU cast perform on the 29th of October. Couldn’t be more excited about that

Oh, and I will say firmly: if you haven’t seen it in a theater, or at least in a room full of people who have seen it in a theater and know some good call lines, you totally haven’t seen the movie.

Making a post from work. Woo Hoo!
Anyways, the thing I remember from Halloween was the electric and warm feelin of Fall. Something about the season always strikes an emotional string in my being. It’s a warm, friendly feeling that reminds me of coming home after school, crunching orange and red leaves with my sneakers in anticipation of whatever warm dinnner mom would cook up. Hopefully, whatever Halloween it was, I wouldn’t have to wear a coat over my costume >:( That always sucked when I had to do that.
Then, it was going out with my friends and rounding the neighbourhood to gather all the candy we could, plus the usual toothbrush from the dentist’s house (go figga).
The next day would be the usual trading of candy during lunch hour. It was a great time.
It sucks to grow up. It really does.

Amen to that.

Mike, I know a moderate number of the callback responses because I’ve heard the album with a recording of an audience participating. The great thing about this DVD is that there’s a subtitle option to prompt the callbacks. Haven’t checked it out yet but I think it’s a great special feature. I had friends who went to midnight shows all the time but somehow never mustered the ambition to go. My mom also was discouraging of my attending, but that wouldn’t have stopped me I’ll make it some day, but I think I’ll cheat and deny my ‘virginity’.

Chestnuts roasted by squee4242 @ 10/01/2005 2:48 PM

Someone tried to trick me into going to a midnight showing once. thank god i didn’t into their trap. I heard about all the silly things they do to "virgins" and i wanted no part of it and besides I absolutely despise RHPS. it was a heavy sigh of relief.

Did anyone see the boring Christopher Walken vampire flick "The Addiction" on IFC last night? ZZZZZZZZ

At the website above they started their second annual "31 Years, 31 Screams" horror movie reviews. A horror film is reviewed daily. It’s cool.

Season premiere of SNL tonight with Steve Carrell. Cool. Wonder who’ll temporarily take Tina Fey’s place since she’s on maternity leave.

Hey my town has an old timey movie theater called "The Freemont".
They’re going to be rescreening old movies from the 60′s and 70′s.
Anyone up for some late kubrick?

Chestnuts roasted by Zorkporker @ 10/01/2005 3:39 PM

phung, I can see not liking RHPS but hating on Tim Curry? That’s just nuts.
In addition to the audience prompting subtitles, there’s a commentary track with a real audience shouting all over themselves…I’m listening now and must admit I prefer the movie on it’s own.

Chestnuts roasted by squee4242 @ 10/01/2005 3:54 PM

To put something of a topic on this random Saturday Thread, I pose this question. What would your perfect Saturday Morning line-up be? The line-up starts at 6 AM and ends at Noon, and may have ANY cartoon or other saturday-morning-y TV show you desire.

Chestnuts roasted by DocDragon @ 10/01/2005 4:11 PM

You can grow older, get responsibilities, have a job, stuff like that, but you don’t have to grow up. Not completely.

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash still plays with toys. @ 10/01/2005 4:21 PM

I don’t know what it is. It just seems like whenever tim curry looks right at the camera he is violating me…But like I said before maybe i just don’t get it.

SATURDAY MORNING LINEUP!!

6AM-VOLTRON
7AM-HE-MAN
8AM-ANIMANIACS
9AM-TALESPIN
10AM-DUCKTALES
11AM-CAPTAIN N: THE GAME MASTER
12AM-MUPPET BABIES

there are just too many cartoons to choose from. Condolences to those I left out.

Hey, does anyone else think that Tim Curry would be the perfect choice to play The Joker in the Batman Begins sequel? I’ve always thought that he would’ve been a million times better than Jack Nicholson. I’ve heard talk of Crispin Glover being considered, but seriously, Curry would be the shit.

Chestnuts roasted by Kyle @ 10/01/2005 4:31 PM

I’m thinking Mark Hamill should be Joker! You know, since he did the voice in the animated series. I think he’s due for a rousing performance. Seriously… Wouldn’t that be cool???
