HSH


I watched Highlander last night and it was meh.

What cult films do you love? Or hate? Or think are meh?

I haven't seen any that seem to qualify for the 'best of' lists
except for Pulp Fiction and I fucking hate pulp fiction
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 19:48, Reply)

I quite liked Pulp Fiction
- the other film everyone loves that I hate is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Crap crap and crap.
( Maladicta, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 19:52, Reply)

I saw that one, it was alright
I think some that are usually considered are The Lost Boys, The Crow, and Fight Club.
I happen to like these.
But I don't think everyone considers them to be cult.
I'd really like to see Nosferatu.
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 20:13, Reply)

My first boyfriend was obsessed with Nosferatu
and vampires in general. It was not good.
( Maladicta, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 20:16, Reply)

your boyfriend or the movie?
I'm into vampires but not obsessed.
No, I swear I wasn't going to get a vampire bite tattoo, honest.
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 20:17, Reply)

Neither! But that was just me; I was sick of hearing about vampires by the time I got shot of him.
Thank fuck Twilight hadn't been invented yet...
( Maladicta, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 20:20, Reply)

One of the things I don't get
is why some people can be so obsessed by vampires.

the aspect of eternal life, beauty, sex and power
all wrapped up in a feisty little package
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 20:23, Reply)

That would explain some of my Uni mates.

( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 20:31, Reply)

Oh god you just described my first boyfriend's mental picture of himself.
I would link his livejournal for the lulz, it's horrendous.
( Maladicta, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 20:33, Reply)

Twilight is pretty extreme.
I'm glad the series wasn't out when I was a teenager.
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 20:21, Reply)

Fucking hate hate hate Twilight.
It makes me rage on so many levels. Got in the lift at work today with a girl who had a copy of it with her and had to be restrained from setting fire to it. I could shit out a better book. SPARKLY VAMPIRES WHAT THE FUCK.
( Maladicta, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 20:27, Reply)

hahahaha
Twilight is the reason I stopped writing my novel.
Fuck a bunch of Twilight.
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 20:29, Reply)

Twilight is the reason I want to write.
So I can knock that shit out of the charts. Also, because if I don't write it'll make me explode!

*strokes her And Then Buffy Staked Edward shirt*
( Maladicta, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 20:32, Reply)

Yeah, I've moved on to different subjects now.
I mean, I honestly like twilight but it's just too fucking extreme for me, I'll never read the books ever again.
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 20:36, Reply)

Mine is struggling a bit; got to a point and can't go any further with it.

( Maladicta, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 20:43, Reply)

ARGH me as well!
I'm having difficulty because I can't get anyone to read it, short of paying an editor probably, so in the back of my mind I think "what's the point? no ones going to like it any fucking way"
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 20:44, Reply)

Mine is "well no bugger's going to read it aside from me and maybe Pot",
I'm too shy to look for any other advice for it...

Evening
I saw Highlander many years ago and also thought it was meh. Also saw the sequel at the same video-night which was more memorable. Not seen the other 3 films.

I recently got to watch Ghostbusters which I love.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 19:50, Reply)

I've not seen Ghostbusters for a very very long time.
the animated series used to give me Teh Fear...
( Maladicta, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 19:53, Reply)

Earlier this year, I saw it for the first time in ages.
This time round, the ghost in the library didn't scare my pants off.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 19:55, Reply)

I might have to watch it again, then.
I don't think I'll ever stop being scared of The Witches though...
( Maladicta, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 20:04, Reply)

Debbie does Dallas.
Very poor. I didn't see any of Dallas's major attractions.
( girlinthehole, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 19:50, Reply)

I know, how shit is that?
Inside Deep Throat was no better. We didn't learn anything about conspiracy theories.
( Maladicta, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 19:53, Reply)

Nor did we learn about the upper part of the oesophagus.

( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 19:54, Reply)

No. All there was was some random bint
giving lots of blow jobs. At least 9 Songs actually had 9 songs in it...
( Maladicta, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 20:03, Reply)

If it's any consolation
most of the people who visit Dallas never get to meet Debbie.

* watches as the Dallas tourist-board looks on in horror *
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 20:14, Reply)

No one wants to go there anyway ;)
detracts from the awesomeness that is Paris.
( Maladicta, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 20:17, Reply)

You've been listening to JFK's ghost then?
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 20:19, Reply)

He popped out of the giant stapler on my desk this very day.
And told me not to eat too much horse steak.
( Maladicta, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 20:33, Reply)

Horse steak does have that effect on you

( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 20:35, Reply)

Something to avoid in Paris, then! :)

( Maladicta, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 20:43, Reply)

But you can still see the giant staplers instead.

( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 20:47, Reply)

In their natural habitat?
This one goes CLUNK in a very satisfying way!
( Maladicta, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 20:56, Reply)

When they're not hiding, they're a spectacular sight to behold.
But watch out for the stray giant staples.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 21:01, Reply)

Eek! Spiky!

( Maladicta, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 21:05, Reply)

A sadly misunderstood beast
Kept in offices in horrific inhumane conditions.

What could be more majestic than the sight of a majestic herd of giant staplers majestically making their way across the majestic Serengheti in the majestic sunset?

But they have to compete for food with the hole-punchers

*clunkity clunkity clunk*
How glorious they are.
( Maladicta, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 21:11, Reply)

Dallas is ace
As I explained the other night.

Never seen Debbie there though, although she may have aged a bit and I might not have recognised her.

Evening, HSH people.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 20:35, Reply)

Evening TD
Perhaps the Dallas tourist-board should distribute pictures of how she would look now.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 20:37, Reply)

Good idea
Like a sort of I-Spy Porn Stars book - if you're old enough to remember I-Spy books.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 20:40, Reply)

This could also double as a MILF-themed porn-mag.

( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 20:49, Reply)

I'm sure porn stars don't go about naked all the time
They'd be harder to spot in mufti.

Maybe. I've never met a porn star and frankly I can't be bothered with porn any more.

If I want a pint of Guinness I'm not going to look at a picture of one.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 21:02, Reply)

My sentiments entirely.
Why watch when you can do?
( Maladicta, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 21:05, Reply)

Perhaps that's what recovering alcoholics do.
Alcoporn

Love. It.

also El Topo - must be seen to be believed.
