Happy Thanksgiving Y'all!

From an old Southern broad!::cool::

Don't care for Thanksgiving myself, but these pics you guys are posting are FANTASTIC. By all means keep it up! ::big grin::

I'll be wearing my Silence of the Lambs shirt to dinner today. It says 'you are what you eat' under Hannibal's face. I don't think it's at all in bad taste.

Welcome back, Villain! 8)
Understandable you've been gone for so long. I've been so afk on HDC lately I fear I'll forget to come on all together eventually. ::EEK!::

Martha would be my favorite relative at a Thanksgiving dinner ::stick out tongue::

Oh why thank you so very much! Oh my!

.....

Oh man! Do gotta good one fer y'all!...So last night I get a call from a client of my talkin' about another client's cat who just died. She ask me if I would come over and bury it out in the garden for 'em::big grin::....
So this mornin' I'm thinkin' over it and I'm like ...wait a minute is this dead cat in a box 'er somethin'?.....is it out on the porch or in the closet?

Plus it's like 10 degrees and 6 inches of snow on the ground...I wanna be like....ya know there's alotta hungry ravens and magpies out there, we could just put the carcass out in the field....::big grin::

I think I'm gonna go with the posthole digger ta puch a hole in the ground...
I'm gonna have ta charge high dollar fer this one too...
Party time!::smile::

Just seen the scenes from the American Black Friday -

Giving Thanks one day, and fighting over TV's the next! ::big grin::

Just about to say that ::big grin::

::big grin:: So I got over there and sure 'nuff she had that dead cat on the couch waitin' fer me....Now all gotta do is get that death stench offa me and smudge away those death vibes with a little sage or dragon blood and I'm all good! Easiest 50 bucks I ever made::big grin::

Finally got to see Avengers Age Of Ultron. I liked it better than the first one although it sucks Loki wasn't in it. I cant wait for the next ones with Thanos.

what the hell is that? ::big grin::

Black Friday.

I liked both of them. Although, it irked me that they made Ultron a wise-cracking "human"... with the voice of James Spader... in a robot.

I don't know if you know the original comic book story, but Ultron is a robot, with a computer brain, programmed to help humanity, and it's because it's a computer that it gets so completely wrong. This bizarre characterization is helped by making Ultron look, sound and act like a robot. And it makes it different than 99% of Hollywood films today. So the change to a wisecracking Spader really hurt the film to me. http://www.horror.com/forum/images/icons/icon9.gif

I really can't get into that MCU stuff. There's a few that I liked like Captain America and its sequel, Iron Man and Ant-Man, but most of them I find boring or repetitive. To be honest I thought the Avengers was one of the worst MCU movies.

Yeah I was under the impression Ultron would have been a bit creepier but I still enjoyed it. That "You two better not be playing hide the zucchini" wisecrack from Iron Man was hilarious!

The post credits scene with Thanos was awesome! Now THAT is a villain.

I love you, Sculpt.

As much as I love James Spader, Ultron wasn't at all like he should have been. But Tony Stark created him instead of Hank Pym, so did you really expect accuracy? And don't even get me started on how much of a fuckwad Tony suddenly became in AOU...

Did anyone else get CHILLS when Thanos got all 'want something done right...'?!
But after how painful AOU was to watch with the team fighting among themselves... I do not look forward to the third installment...

Exactly. Who are these 'marketers' making these horribly damaging asinine changes to proven successful stories? Ninety percent of the general public don't know the original stories; and those who do want the film to stick to the original.

Oh those who don't know the original want it to stick to the original too! Example:

I didn't have comic book access or money to get them growing up, so I watched the cartoons I could and the movies they put out. The shows weren't a lot since I didn't have many channels, but my dad loves collecting movies, and he happens to like the super hero genre, so he bought them and that was about 93% of my comic book character experience (at least growing up).

One in particular I remember was Toby Maguire's Spider-Man. In the movie his shooters weren't home made or developed by him or any form of science that showed off his genius. They came OUT OF HIM. As far as I knew, this was accurate. And when I saw the recent reboot, I felt like a fucking idiot. So much of the movie I couldn't stay focused on because I was still stuck on this stupid fact I was never privy to with my weak exposure to comic books.

I do more digging these days when watching super hero movies. I read some comics when I have money to buy one or two (although they're always Hulk or Werewolf related, because priorities), I browse the net looking for back info when I want to know more, and if I watch cartoons (and especially movies) I check my facts before taking anything as canon because I am not making that mistake again. Older cartoons are usually more reliable.

Quicksilver is alive yeah

We just have to wait and see how Infinity War goes. Thanos has the gauntlet and I assume by the end of IW part 1 he will have all the stones. I was expecting Ultron to be more badass and ruthless but I still have faith in Thanos I mean imo the only villain in Marvel who would be a challenge for him is Gallactus.

.....

Im more like you in that sense... I got 90% of my info from the cartoons, as wasnt a big comic book buyer/reader. The early cartoons were 100% cannon, and most up till now are accurate too.

Its Hollywood film that has a long history of destroying original stories and cannons.

Spiderman shooting webs from his own body is a horrible change because one, he's a scientist -- who can change the formula and mechanics to match the foe and situation, and two, there are exciting moments when he runs out of web, and has to get creative. How shortsighted do you have to be to give up that story device?

Don't forget to get your Christmas Advent calendars, grinches! Anybody use those?

I do ::smile::

Got my eye on the Stars and the Horizon....lookin' forward on the upcomin' Solstice here Bloof. 21 nights 'erso now::cool::

I do too!

I just had the random idea pop in my head that it would be cool to see an R rated version of the Wizard of Oz that is much darker, violent, and psychedelic.

The Emerald City would be entirely steampunk inspired and the poppy field leading to it would actually be acknowledged as a poppy field rather than just a field of flowers.

I would want it to take place during WWII and rather than Dorothy being a spoiled brat who is running away from home she could be a worker like any other girl her age during the depression.

I think it would be a neat idea.

Sounds cool! She's not helping in the war effort, she doesn't care about Fascism or freedom... just clothes, shoes and boys. And the world of Oz has constant symbolic representations of Fascism and the horrors of war.

yeah Id want it to be something like Alice In Wonderland meets A Clockwork Orange

Its kinda like the videogame Alice: madness returns where it is a dark/violent version of a fairytale that feature grim topics such as murder, rape and the exploiting of children. I would watch the hell out of that.

That's just funny! ::big grin::

you're messed up man... ::big grin::

I love when my teacher gives us a speech on responsibility, even though it took him two weeks to grade an essay because "he didn't get to it."
