Clive Barker

not that great but one of my favorites

Good call. I like the part where the springboard that is launching the zombie is fully visible in the shot almost as much as I love the constant reminder that it is based off a game via random insertions of actual clips from the game itself. :rolleyes:




I guess I don't know where you shop, but I would never pay 10-15 for a used book. You can get them at garage sales for like a dollar or less and at antique and used book stores for two or three bucks at most. Used movies can be found at pawn shops for 4 or 5 bucks or on eBay if you are lucky enough to find a reasonably priced aucton.

Like I said, if you are happy with it, that's all that really matters. Enjoy your Stephen King-age. :)

I didn't catch that part, about how long into the movie is that scene? I don't want to see anymore of that shit than I have to.

Fuck I dont remember. I went to that piece of crap on opening day hoping it'd be good so it's been a while now...

I would estimate that it's probably about 2/3rds of the way through. Where all the humans are fighting off a ton of zombies near a church and the actions scene is very long, drawn out, and Matrixy with lots of zombies 'jumping' around.

oh you mean the scene where the guy with the 12 guage jumps in the air(for no apparent reason) and shoots the zombie in slow motion.

Yep, that's the one. I'm pretty sure it's in one of the zombies flying around in that scene.

Oh, you got me wrong. I meant movies and books that you buy at the mall or in places likes Books-a-Million.

I know you can find better *used* deals if you shop around, but compared to stuff you buy at big-name chains and "brand new" stuff, it's a heck of a deal. I probably would have paid well over 200 bucks for all that stuff if it wasn't used. That was what I meant by a good deal. :)



And to respond to the recommendation made earlier: I'd been thinking about checking out some of Clive Barker's books. Any recommendations to get me started? With a brief one or two lines about what the book is about if you are feelings up to it? ^_^

I HAVE to see this House of the Dead movie. It sounds like just the kind of P.O.S. I like to see! Everyone has told me about it, yet I still keep hearing new things that increase my interest. It sounds just great!

Here is a brief synposis of HOTD:

"Hip young cast" as usual.

Bad acting.

One weird boat-guy and one weird copy-lady.

At least 4 "tit-shots" within the first half of the movie.

Cheesy "lets kill all the zombies" type montage where they...kill all the zombies.

No other plot to speak of.

Oh, and let's not forgot shots from the actual game *in the movie*. Ordinarily I would think this were a great concept. However, they screwed the idea for all it was worth and made it as cheesy as possible.


Btw: I (downloaded) obtained a copy of the PC version of HOTD and have to say I've enjoyed it thus far. Too bad there aren't infinite continues though, I utterly hate having to restart a game every time you play it, though I guess that's just the arcade style. I'm willing to bet this would be a great game to play with a friend (or date) at an arcade with lots of quarters and lots of time to kill. I'm going to see if HOTD2 for the PC is any good now. ^^
