Random Stuff (not THAT random, DJ....)

[Coyote]

www.tvguide.com (http://www.tvguide.com) has the Escape From New York poster as the cover page (Tag line: The End? Ring in the New Millenium with our apocolyptic movie picks.) with cute little cartoon snowflakes falling over it.
It's sooooo cuuute!

[DJEvil]

I believe something is bad wrong with TV Guide. Bad covers are a common thing for them now. I cracked up when I saw Michael Jackson with facial hair.

[DJEvil]

I'd like to be the first to say, "Happy New Year!" I hope you're having fun. I hope you're swell. I hope you have a good time.

Here's to hoping that movies don't suck this year.

Cheers. http://www.chud.com/board/ubbhtml/smile.gif

[DJEvil]

And another thing. I like the t-shirts, guys. I'll buy one from ya at the Dragon*Con.

In the meantime, I'm gonna try to figure out how I can use my brother's scanner, these iron-on paper thingies, and your logo, to make a DJEvil shirt. I wanna make a zombie wearing headphones, working a turntable and soundboard. It'd say, "DJEvil, as seen on C.H.U.D." At the bottom, it'd say, "Neener."

You wouldn't sue, would ya?

[Coyote]

More Randomness: Spent NYE with Bravo on in the background. Highly reccomend Cirque Du Soleil: Quidam. http://www.cirquedusoleil.com/en/piste/quidam/
John Gilkey & The Circus of the Sun just keep getting better and better. And whoever directed/edited/shot this piece should get awards galore. It was BEYOOTIFUL. Especially the ariel dream sequence in red silk by Isabelle Chassé. Stage design, music, costumes...all of it comes together phenomenally with the physical talent and skill.
For those who have never seen one of their productions, imagine the works of Michael Parkes come to life. The acts are surreal dreamscapes that turn your eyes inside out.
I highly reccomend catching this one.

[Coyote]

We need to get the guys who do THUGS ON FILM on this board.

[Adam McAllister]

You should have seen Quidam live. They only tour every 2 years with a new show each time. They were in Atlanta over a year ago with that one. It was amazing. Only about 6 months till the next one.

[DJEvil]

Random stuff:

I was on my high school's senior class video team. Through the whole thing, I got a minimum amount of input. My big moment came at the end, when I made a "musical montage," using the Fatboy Slim song, "The Rockefeller Skank." It was cool. Through the song, it would switch from some students dancing, to the dance scene at the beginning of Austin Powers. Then, to cheerleaders, over to the Ferris Bueller dance scene. The band marching on time to the song, over to the Monty Python & the Holy Grail "Camelot" number. From the prom over to Beavis and Butthead on the dance floor under the disco ball. It was cool.

[Coyote]

Your brain is this hyper-kinetic, and you're either still in high school or just graduated?
Son...there's only one place for you to go now. The US Army Pyschological Warfare Division.
You'll make Capt by the time you're old enough to drink.

[Nick Nunziata]

And he can fight the brain bug!

[DJEvil]

Do I get Denise Richards, though? I ain't savin the world unless I get a Denise Richards. That's all there is to it.

[Hastur]

Then the world is gonnna die, 'cause even Denise Richards doesn't have Denise Richards. Her agent already stole all the rights.

[Blofeld]

A random thought ...

It's inevitable that 20th Century Fox must change their name. Will they be known as just "Fox"? Or will they take the easy road and rename themselves "21st Century Fox"?

Perhaps we CHUDders could help them arrive at the perfect studio name...

Let's create a new brandname!

[Coyote]

Can't be called Fox. You don't want to tie the film side in with the TV side. You'd have too many movies canceled just as they were starting to get good.

[Adam McAllister]

Hate to rain on your parade, but I think I read a press release somewhere stating that the name will remain the same.
But...Increasing the digits (say 21st or 30th) would have been cool. Don't they say 30th Century Fox after Futurerama?

[Joram Manka]

lol.. I thought they were going to change it to 21st century fox! hmmm.. time to investigate!

Joram
10th Century Nomad

[DJEvil]

Change it to "DJEvil's Movie Company of Terror." The name change alone will draw millions.

The logo will look the same (cept the name), but during the fanfare, you'll hear Pink Floyd screaming, "If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding! HOW CAN YOU HAVE ANY PUDDING IF YOU DON'T EAT YER MEAT?!?!

Damn, I'm good.

[PsychoThespian]

but those millions drawn by the name will stand, gawk, and run screaming into the night...
oh well... you'd get your 15 minutes of fame... and those trampled by the masses will be forced to stay, so hey! maybe you will get a following after all...

[DJEvil]

That's my idea of a good time. http://www.chud.com/board/ubbhtml/smile.gif

AND THINK OF THE FREE PUBLICITY, I'D GET! I'd be all over the news. Thousands around the country trampled to death...

This sounds better and better.

[PsychoThespian]

actually... now that you mention it... it would be alot of fun... you get film of that scene, and it'd be the first known improvisational horror flick! cha-ching!

[Coyote]

Talk about audience participation....

[DJEvil]

Blair Witch Project on a MUCH larger scale.

I want to do this sooooo bad.

[PsychoThespian]

man.... I'm a genius...
this is an awesome Idea.

[Coyote]

NO! Down! No biscut.
No-kill the audience.
No disassemble.

Well, maybe if they're talking during the film.

[DJEvil]

C'mon, we're not gonna hit EVERYONE in the back of the head with a hammer. Just the people that no one's looking at.

[Nick Nunziata]

Post #666.


Nuff Said.

[DJEvil]

Whose was it? Yours or mine?

[PsychoThespian]

I don't think a hammer would do our type of film justice... now if it were a high power jack hammer or a chisel ... that would work

[DJEvil]

Gallager will be our leading man. Damn, I'm smooth.

[PsychoThespian]

I can see the it already...

Gallager works fervently to pull off yet another off the wall comedy special... but during the middle of the performance is taken by dimensia and begins to believe that random audience members are infected with the watermelon syndrome and proceeds to go on a slam-the-skulls rampage...

pure cinematic genius.

[grendel]

Only if Carrot-Top is the first victim, and Gallagher then wears his bloodied scalp as a wig throughout the rest of the film.

[Blofeld]

I know. I know. It says "Test Banner. Please do not click" at the top of the screen ... but I couldn't help myself. Oh, God. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Please, take the bad man away, call him off. I promise I'll never do it again. Oh, no! Please help -- do something -- for god's sake call him off!! OK, IF I HAVE TO DIE JUST HAVE HIM SHARPEN THE AXE FIRST!! THE CUTTING EDGE IS TOO ROUGH!!!!!!!!!

[LowShot]

can the film include an explosion?
for instance, what if the world trade towers
blew up with the backstreet boys in it?

[Coyote]

Am I the only one who thinks The Backstreet Boys sounds like a triple X feature?

[Coyote]

This is just scary. http://www.sockmaster.com/
They have a VIDEO that shows you how to use it.
Animated gifs...argh....

[PsychoThespian]

Everybody should check this out... http://test.thespark.com/untest
It involves humor, violence, and all the other nifty little survival skills everyone should know... plus you get a score to flaunt in the face of everyone else!

[DJEvil]

With a big enough budget, we can kill off the entire pop star community (cept Bono, he's immortal...and cool). Yes, we'll get rid of Carrottop, too.

Also meeting their grisly demise will be:
Jan DeBont (duh)
Brittney Spears
Yul Brenner
Yanni
John Tesh
Tori Spelling


I just realized...this thing doesn't have a title...

[Nick Nunziata]

DJ, we should see if anyone's game for a chat session like we had.

[DJEvil]

I've got a few days to kill. http://www.chud.com/board/ubbhtml/smile.gif

[Nick Nunziata]

I forgot how I did it. How to set up a chat session?

[Coyote]

Title: Super Meggy Bloody Death Extravaganza X-23.
Oh, wait, that title's taken.

In other news:
Got this from a mailing list I'm on.
A normally reliable source says he heard on the radio (and points out he hasn't been able to confirm) that Matt Damon proposed to Winnona Ryder. Wedding will be in spring.
Sorry, guys.

[This message has been edited by Coyote (edited 01-06-2000).]

[Nick Nunziata]

For the record, Winona's supposed to bare her chest onscreen in Girl, Interrupted.

I can't stand her, but I know some of you will cross one of the "must see" things off your list by seeing that film.

Enjoy!

[Blofeld]

The best horror event of the first decade of the 21st century: spawn of Damon / Ryder

[Coyote]

Actually, the whole reason I want to see it is the departure by Jolie looks damn fun. When I first saw her, I thought she was fun to watch because she was exotic, but oh-well on the acting.
Now, I'm getting impressed.

[grendel]

Acting, schmacting...the woman just plain needs to be naked.

[LowShot]

Girl, Interrupted was actually suprisingly good. Jolie reinvented the word "hot". She is one incredibly attractive woman. And while Ryder isn't the greatest actress on the block, I felt she held her own in the film. But she doesn't bare her chest, she does get thrown in a bathtub with a white shirt on, which was quite nice.

[Nick Nunziata]

I have a picture from the bathtub scene I can share if you guys want it.

[Coyote]

So, it was Heathers all over again?
Actually, I'm looking forward to the sequel.

[Blofeld]

Oooo! Nick, please bless us with the bathroom scene photo!!!! NOW!

Uh, my wife and I are remodeling, and I'm thinking institutional bathroom as our motif.

[LowShot]

I want the picture of the bath tub scene

[DJEvil]

Nick, ya gotta go through the whole talkcity thing. Remember?

[DJEvil]

I'm gonna leave the house for a while. I suggest we schedule a chat on talkcity for tonight at...er...howbout 9:30? I'll check here to see if there're any takers. Think of this topic as a travel agency. Leave your name so that I can get an idea as to who'll be on tonight.

[Blofeld]

I'm going to the store -- anybody want anything?

[DJEvil]

Get me some Colt .45 and stop by Sonic. I want a bacon cheeseburger, onion rings, french fries, a coke, and see if they have any honeymustard sauce.

BTW, I'm in "the room" if anybody wants ta talk.

[LowShot]

Are you still there?
I've never used talkcity, so i have to register or something.

[DJEvil]

I'll be there a while. Come on in! Chlorine for all!

[LowShot]

I'm in the chat room, yet you are not answering me.

[Coyote]

Corn Nuts. BQ.

We need a CHUD MUSH. Chat is confusing and iffy as to it working for many people http://www.chud.com/board/ubbhtml/wink.gif
MUSHes are reliable, and you can create yourself as a character http://www.chud.com/board/ubbhtml/wink.gif

[Jason Pollock]

Just someting to pass on to Psychothespian-I checked out that Spark thing, and you were right, everyone here should do this thing.

And just in case anyone cares, mine said:

"You kick ass!"
It scored me 65%
Resorseful, sly, guaranteed to get away with everything. A very high level of intelligence. Brave tedencies. Sinister and Violent 78% chance of prison. Heathy sense of humor. Fair and productive sense of morality. Hot Shot self-confidence.

This was exactly what I needed after a soul-crushing trip to NYC to talk with thimble d-ck (read: pee-pee) agents and "assistants" about my chances in my chosen field of screenwriter-"looking for a little validation and apparently COMING UP SHORT!"

So even though I know myself, and thus, know all of that stuff is Bantha Poo-Doo, it still feels good...that a stupid...on-line test...makes me feel bette...

Forget it.
