Current thoughts
 

After a recent discussion about balding, I am thinking whether or not I will become bald in the future, and whether or not I will really mind it. It seems many people are rocking the bald look these days e.g. Bruce Willis. I am wondering if I can pull off the bald look?

Who knows, only time will tell! :o

Haha, there are few Asians I know that can pull off a sexy bald look (most would look like a monk?). Shaved perhaps, but shaved looks very different from bald. GOOD LUCK :P

I would hate to be bald, but i'm a girl hahaha

Was watching some footage from a Grateful Dead concert in 1972 ...they showed a lot of footage of the audience. My question is "why don't people get naked at concerts anymore?

Depends on the security of the venue, and the crowd.
I've seen it in recent years at bigger outdoor shows. People are more sensitive to a nude human body these days. If somebody's walking around naked, they're not just free of clothes...they obviously must be a perverted deviant who has to be confined to cloth.
It's some bs. I'm not a nudist, but I could dig on some free-spirited nekkidness while enjoying live music without the judgment or potential over-sexualization by my peers.
I was born too late.

Were people naked in the 1972 Grateful Dead concert? After Woodstock, one wonders if acid and nakidity walk together hand-in-hand.

I'm thinking that today was a horrible day. I hate my job, and I need some tequila... I'm also thinking that I want to watch a horror movie, and I can't decide which one...

Sorry you had a horrible day, Tracy! I think you need to listen and sing along with some of your favorite music! I usually do that with some wine while making a good dinner, or doing dishes. Raises my spirits right up!

Proposed to my girlfriend today. She said yes.

Just thought i would share.

Congratulations, Villain! Wish you both a lifetime of happiness together!

Thanks man

Congrats! That is cool your girlfriend accepted. My random thoughts for the day: In about an hour, I need to wake up my wife, so we can drive to the hospital to visit a cousin who had major surgery a week ago. Then later in the day, a little yard work and after that task is done, of course, time spent in the studio to create is always important.

Thank you.

...........

what art are you working on lately?

Nice one, Villain. :cool:

Congratulations! As a fella that's been married 7 years, my only advice is this: "Pick your battles." Not everything has to be Waterloo.

Thanks guys. Good advice Knife Fight. I'll keep that in mind.

Congratulations!

Thanks man

Whoa! Dude, that's awesome. That's a big deal man. Nice going!

Thanks I'm really happy about it.

Congratulations! Also, when is the baby due? Everything going OK now?

The baby is due in January and everything is going great now. Thank you

EEEEE! I'm just seeing this now! CONGRATULATIONS!

How long have you guys been together? And where are all of the requisite couple pictures with the ring??

I didn't know about that either! Congratulations x2!

How old is your daughter now? Is she excited to be a big sister? And, I forget - Will this be your second child?

Thanks Chrono. You really need to come here more :D

We've been together a year, I proposed on our anniversary. We had to get the ring resized so pictures will have to wait.

Thanks X 2. My daughter just turned 4. She's already a big sister because her mother had another kid but she's still really excited. My soon to be stepson is crazy excited. He wants it to come now. Excluding him this will be my second.

That's so exciting! :D

Congratulations on the proposal! I haven't been around much lately, so I didn't know you had another kid on the way, too. So an additional congratulations!

Thanks Fortunato. Good to see you back

Double congratulations, Villain. Wish you all the best.

Thank you V

where's poonuts been?

For our Random Thoughts thread...

Happy US is not going to shoot a bunch of million dollar cruise missiles at Syria. At least not now, with the Russian sponsored deal where Syrian government will hand over their chemical weapons to 3rd party/UN.

I think international community should take a stand against killing civilians, and chemical weapon attacks in a city is particularly inaccurate. Just have to figure, as advanced as missile strikes can be, things go wrong in the real world. Not sure if US was planning on hitting chemical weapon storage spots, but that leaking out doesn't sound wise. Not to mention anything mechanical can go haywire and hit civilians. Plus who used the weapons, by who's orders, I read, it's not 100% determined. And a missile strike doesn't necessarily accomplish the goal of ridding the exists of the weapons, nor their use by either side, nor the safety of civilians, nor the conclusion of hostilities with a peace settlement.

I think the international community (& US) should be assisting in a settlement where all citizens share power, and assisting organizations and nations that are absorbing/assisting the refugees.

Or the room has a very high, or very low, air pressure, depending on which way the door swings.

That gif is probably better then the whole movie

Ya think Texas Chainsaw Massacre just can't be duplicated today? Or is it the remakes just don't get what the original was about?

Well technically it's not a remake. It's supposed to be a sequel following after the first one but honestly not Texas Chainsaw Massacre cannot be duplicated. What helped make it so great was the time period that it was made during.

The way it was shot and the lack of effects and the grittiness due to the kind of camera work back then really added to the movie. It was a dark and gritty movie itself, so having this high definition crystal clear picture doesn't really work for Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Also they keep doing shit storylines. A friend told me what happens in that movie. I don't think they could've done a dumber story.

Ya, I think you're right about the time period The Texas Chain Saw Massacre was made as being important. When it came out, there was buzz about it being a true story. And the opening text (basically) says that it is. I think Hooper starts with a documentary feel, and then seamlessly moves into a POV and then multiple POV, so-to-speak. It's very 'this is what happened' and 'you were there' without the announcer. I think that was what it nailed.

I know some folks liked the sequel (TCSM2 86). I hated it. It was a completely different mindset. The murdering family became the stars and anti-heros. And it featured tongue-in-cheek humor (meant to really be funny). Those two things are alien to the original.

I don't know what Hooper was thinking. Have to read about it sometime. Maybe he thought a sequel in the same vein was ridiculous, so it was mocking the audience; who knows.

The only horror sequel, that I can think of, that followed the same mindset as the original was Halloween 2. Was done by a different director, and considered a flop. Capturing the subtly of Carpenter was mostly unsuccessful.

Yeah I hated TCM 2 as well. The only other edition I've liked is The Beginning. Sequels are tricky when the original is so iconic. Although I'd say Friday The 13th Part 2 is a good follow up.

BTW not to nitpick but its Hooper, not Hopper
