Is there any weird stigma against people who start their careers in porn? Working for Vivid strikes me as more interesting than live sporting events which is currently the bulk of my miniscule experience. And before I get ahead of my self is the barrier to entry higher or lower in porn, and can I use it to springboard into television? I might be over thinking this.

Halloween could lead into interesting talk about the slasher movies as a whole, (Nightmare, Friday, Hellraiser and the like) and how they seem to have diverged away from actual horror, instead focusing on gore bloody imagery which has desensitized most audiences to the point which they cheer for the monster to kill the shitty victims.

Paranormal Activity could be interesting if it was done in a contrast with an over the top slasher. It also serves as a pretty good example in minimalism where all that happens is a book falls off a shelf and the audience is scared shitless.

Trey probably has some interesting stories about Pet Sematary 2.

SO what happened to the flying sky crane part? Did it just kamikaze into the side of a mountain?

I don't think there's been a dif of any Guy Ritchie films yet and Snatch just went up on Netflix streaming. Would that open up some fresher topics for discussion?

Weirdly enough I watched the movie first, absolutely awful experience. But then after hearing such constant bitching about how M. Night Shamwow fucked it up I got curious about the source materiel. I burned through entire series on Netflix in about a week, loved it and somehow completely forgot about the movie for like the next two weeks. I don't know what specifically triggered it but then I had like a flash memory flood of the movie and I wound up retroactively hating all over again with the added stigma of knowing the series. It sucked.

Trey killed a guy?

Anyway for commentaries I would appreciate to see done include Clockwork Orange, Escape from New York and the gruesome 1986 blood bath Transformers The Movie... Predator would also be nice if there's time.

Well for the most part yes, but that's in comics primarily comics and cartoons where the weird stuff happens. I've noticed for the most part the movies at least try to tone things down a little and for the most part stick to villains running on the same magic bean. The X-Men fight other mutants, Batman fights other crazy people and the Punisher fight other guys with guns. That's a tad more believable than Spider-Man teaming up with Rocket-Raccoon in order to fight Thanos... which I would love to see Dreamworks do an animated version of.

I wonder how much all of the tie in content from other movies will actually help Avengers. Are they really going to ease the mental gymnastics that the average movie goer that isn't well versed in the Marvel universe will have perform to accept that this is on some level possible? Just off the top of my head there's the Arc Reactor, super soldier serum, vibranium, the cosmic cube, aliens and whatever the Hulk is, that's 6 magic beans. I have disturbingly strong suspension of disbelief so I can't adequately determine if breaking up the beans into different movies makes them more digestible to normal people so someone else will have to figure that out. I think that it might have been easier to just make the Avengers first and push it in to wonderland territory where science is just fucking loony like that. But that might fuck up doing movies about the characters origin stories now that I think about it.

Up until about a year ago I was all excited to go to the New York Film Academy, guess I really dodged a bullet. Anyway right now I'm in majoring in  broadcasting which has a decent amount of skill over lap at my surprisingly well funded community college program (mostly run on alumni donations). The technical are nice but what I really like is the fact that they get you into that mind set of working hard 90 hour weeks just to prove that your better than your coworkers. If anything else I'll at least be able to handle stress.

The Last Airbender is streaming on Netflix, so if there's a peak of masochism in the Down In Front lair that's an option.

... I'm a chronomancer!
