Tim Curry+ clown makeup= bad
Tim Curry+ fishnet stockings=good
I'll keep that in mind.
Just out of curiosity, real evil clowns? I'd like to see a list, Wikipedia lists only the fictional ones. Sounds like most sufferers of coulrophobia just saw "It" when they were really young. I've seen a couple of scenes and I find it unintentionally hilarious.
Sorry, SilverWook, didn't work on me. I'll never understand why people find clowns scary.
It's just a man with makeup! What, are you going to scream your head off when you see a transvestite?
Just took my bike from the shop. I had not used it in years, and yesterday I decided to bring it to the shop to get it fixed. I had the bright idea of riding back home, since I had come on foot. 2 Kms later and I am panting like an old Saint Bernard. Still better than trying to fit the bike in my mom's Fiat 500.
Still, am I pooped. Lazy fat bastard...
BUMP.
I'd be interested in seeing this....
Ask Rabbi Tuckman, he's already got those.
Man, what a wanker.

The Ladykillers
There is nothing like classic Ealing. Nothing. A vibrant, warm, inviting, whimsical, charming and morbid gem. Alec Guiness is perfectly cast as the ever-patient gang leader, and it is an odd pleasure to see Herbert Lom and Peter Sellers together 9 years before A Shot in the Dark.
4 balls out of 4. Timeless classic.
SO LET'S REMAKE IT IN THE 00's WITH TOM HANKS, TRANSPORT THE SETTING TO MISSISSIPPI AND DUMB DOWN EVERYTHING...HMM SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA!
Agree on both, saw the original several times and it's always great for me, saw 10 or 15 minutes of the remake and all I could think of was... why? Why did it need a remake, why did it need to be completely rewritten and changed around, why why why why....
We're all taking large amounts of pills, large amounts of pills, large amounts of pills...
You're too old anyway, Frink.
Clip looks really nice, can't wait for this to be completed! :)
Do your worst, you filthy, pretencious savages!
This video used to be on YouTube, but I can't find it anymore, it's probably been taken down.

Making of the Computer Graphics for Star Wars (Episode IV)
(1977) The computer graphics for the first Star Wars film was created by Larry Cuba in the 1970s at the Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL) (at the time known as the Circle Graphics Habitat) at the University of Illinois at Chicago. For more information on the lab, visit our website -- http://www.evl.uic.edu

^^A very gentle response. I hope I didn't come off as too big a jerk, Leo (or anyone for that matter). I like everyone here, even those I disagree with on motives and such, even those I've specifically disagreed with on this thread. I obviously am feeling very passionate about this topic at this moment, as I imagine most of us are.
No worries, man. As I said earlier, most of the time I know I'm talking out of my ass, so I appreciate a detailed reply like yours.

They are a political organization,
no they are not, they are a terrorist organization.
Well, terrorism is political. Politics and economics are highly intertwined in such matters.

I don't think they're concerned with just killing people for the heck of it. If you really think that the baddies want you dead just because they're bad, I'm sorry but you're naive.
you're being ridiculously politically correct and naive.
Naive, maybe. Politically correct, never.
OF COURSE THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT KILLING PEOPLE! THEY ARE A FUCKING TERRORIST ORGANIZATION! THEY CARRY OUT FUCKING TERRORIST ATTACKS! THE BOSTON BOMBING IS A TERRORIST ATTACK! THEY HAVE MURDERED AMERICANS AND THREATEN TO DO SO AGAIN! HOW CAN YOU SAY THEY WOULDN'T BOMB THE BOSTON MARATHON?!?!
Dude, chill out. You worry me when you blow your stack like this.

[whole reply]
Fair enough, I understand.
They are concerned with killing people for the heck of it, and they don't care whom they harm!
Yes, but keeping in mind they do have goals, objectives. Spread fear, kill the economy, the ends justify the means.
If you think they hold to the same values you and I do, then I'm sorry but you're naive.
Of course they don't.
Warbler said:
can we really conclude that Al Qaeda would only go after political targets?
Why waste good money and explosive on targets that don't interest them? They are a political organization, they go where the money is. They hit the WTC because, guess what, there was money there, World TRADE CENTER! It was a huge kick in the nuts not just to american economy, but to world economy!
That they wouldn't go after targets where there are many Americans gathered together for them to murder?
If you're going by that reasoning they should've done that during the Super Bowl. Juiciest occasion right there!!
I don't think they're concerned with just killing people for the heck of it. If you really think that the baddies want you dead just because they're bad, I'm sorry but you're naive.

Warbler said:
If I had one guess, I'd guess Al Qaeda did this.
is that really a rush to a conclusion?
I just wanna say this, and keep in mind that I'm not a terribly well informed person. Is the Boston Marathon a political target, like the WTC? Or the Pentagon? If it is (and I'm not feigning ignorance, I really do not know) than to utter "Al Qaeda" immediately after the event would be justified. Otherwise you're just burping "terrorism". Though I understand where you come from, fear is a very powerful enemy, and once you have fear in your mind, rational thought will leave room for knee-jerk reactions.

No, we were complaining about how they were already annoying in real life. It didn't work as a prank because once you saw the little thingy at the end of the url the first time, you knew it was enabled and so you could skip the joke links.

Wow, Leonardo. Those are some amazing links!
Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure :)
