Also, how bad has Stevie Nicks gotten?  You've got me curious.  I know she didn't quite hold onto her looks (though she's looking pretty well nowadays), but I didn't know she'd lost her range.

I heard her give a live performance on American Idol or some such show a few years back and she sounded really hoarse and off-key.

Of course, maybe she was just having an off-day. I haven't really listened to any other performances she's given in recent years.

So many long ago threads being randomly bumped back to life. When did this board turn into The Walking Dead?

And incredibly, Frink isn't involved. ;)

Where were you in '77?

I propose that Duracell and DrCrow be temporarily banned sometime before the (formerly) current page ends up being the last.

These necroposters are getting out of hand. Now there are two of them!

Yeah this is getting fucking annoying as fuck.

In my own defense, I stopped necroposting a couple hours ago and have no desire to do anymore for the forseeable future. It's just too taxing.

Lots of threads being recalled to life around here these days.

Also, as a fellow old-school graphic adventure fan, I have to give props to Warbler.

 I support this proposal.  If you're gonna be annoying, at least try to do it with style.

My bones are aching, but I don't think a storm is coming, although I would like to get home quick.

I looked "dave coulier alanis morissette" up in Google Images and immediately found a photo of David Lynch in the results.

God does exist, and They're poking fun at me.

Satire is wasted when doing the same thing as people who have annoyed you have already done it.  Please stop attempting to ironically bump threads guys.

This may be harkening back to the dead and retired conversation on the whole 50 Shades of Grey discussion, but I've got a serious question for darth_ender and others who share similar views on sexuality in films.

Is it alright to portray graphic sex in a film if it's portrayed in a bad light -- ie. as immoral and/or damaging to the people who partake it in? Not to glorify promiscuity/adultery/etc., but to show its ugly side?

Oh, if only the OT cast would do that...

To make up your own dialogue? I guess if you were mental like me you could use interviews... and Joker lines for Mark Hamill.

There will be plenty of places to pull dialogue from when the time comes.  But if they would record dialogue for me, I'd basically be writing my own movie.

 No, because it would be pointless. I wouldn't want to see a movie that had really explicit gory scenes either. I don't need to see every detail in order to understand an idea, which could be conveyed through dialogue, or hinting at sex/gore. I don't think it's always wrong for two people to be shown on screen in the act, so long as it isn't sexually arousing. Once it's sexually arousing, it becomes porn, and I believe that porn is very wrong.

Sorry...why don't we take any further replies to another thread. The next person who wants to continue the discussion can figure out which one works best....
