  1. I advice you guys to watch the 2008 extended Cut (Fanedit made by ADigitalMan) of this beautiful Movie.

    For me, and I really love this Movie and saw it many, many times in all of its Versions, it's the definite Cut.

  2. Evil Dead (remake) - 6.5/10 - had some serious potential. The amount of gore and in your face intensity was pretty surprising even after I'd heard how crazy it was. Easily has the most realistic and intense gore of any post 2000 non torture-porn horror movie i've seen. The problems were many, the characters were written far too seriously. The movie had not a single moment of self awareness, after watching Cabin in the woods this felt a lot more unintentionally campy.

    The other problem i had with it were the deadite posessions. They were sort of changed to appeal to the whole new Exorcism craze, appearing almost more like Linda Blair esque psychotic demons than the deadites from either Evil Dead 1 or 2. I think it was a combination of the makeup being too much of the 'blotchy skin' variety with ridiculous looking contact lenses. In the original Evil Dead, the deadite possessions were so transformative that they had men actors playing some of the females once they had 'turned'. They barely resembled the original people anymore. In this movie it was way too obvious posessed/zombie when they'd turn. The movie was missing a lot of the supernatural eeriness that was even in the original Evil Dead. And even though the set design, lighting and practical effects were top notch, they never once went crazy with the camera angles as far as i could tell. Even though the original Evil Dead was a very serious movie too, it had comedic moments sometimes with the experimental camera work. In Evil Dead 1 bruce campbell dons a shotgun and tries to shoot a deadite through a wooden door, the camera follows it like a FPS video game, the camera does a deadstop when it spots the deadite through a hole in the door and blasts it. For an indie 70s horror movie, these little touches made Evil Dead stand out as being more than just a movie trying to cash in on the horror craze of the time.

    I hope if they do a sequel they make it a little more silly and over the top slapstick. There were one or two moments in this where they tried to do slapstick, like where the guy slips on her sliced cheek flap and slams his head down on the toilet. They needed more stuff like that, because when you have literally buckets of blood and flesh being thrown around a room, it would probably be hard not to slip and fall. If they bring an old bruce campbell back in it even better. Be great to watch Ash's last stand on film

     

    pretty much agree with this. i expected more from this movie because raimi, campbell and tapert produced it (those who were in charge for the original series). this time they really wanted to cash in with it, whereas the original movie was filmed by some guys who really loved what they were doing. they had like pretty much no budget, that's because they had to use "fake shemps" in the end, because they went back a year later to complete the movie, that's why they used other persons as the deadites later. most of the original crew left after weeks and they had to finish it with friends. that's why you often see them only from behind later in the movie.

     

    make sure you watch the remake until after the credits for an easter egg.

  3. today i finally managed to take some Pics of my homemade Burger.

     

    Made it from fresh grinded Beef from my local Butcher i had left, because earlier today I made a nice Sauce Bolognese.

    So I made a nice Patty, only seasoned it with Seasalt and put it in the Pan. Before the last turning of the Patty I put some BBQ-Sauce on it and shortly fried the side with the Sauce on it. The I put some aged Gouda on Top and put the Patty to Rest in Tin Foil.

    In the Meantime I fried a nice red Onion chopped in Rings.

    I put some of them on the Bottom of my Bun and put some Sriracha on it.

    Then the Patty on Top of the Sriracha-Red Onion Mix.

    The Rest of the Onion on Top of the Patty, some BBQ Sauce on it and then a fried Egg to top that.

    (the black Stuff is from the burnt BBQ Sauce)

     

    and then halfway through:

    Best Burger I had this Year!

     

     

    (sorry for the crappy Phone Pics, I had no Photolight, because I'm using Cyanogenmod 10.1 :sad: )

  4. still no blerp package in the mail. whether the shirt nor the record.

    it usually takes them a week from the uk to deliver to germany.

    the fact that i could've get hold of the record 10(!) days ago,

    makes this pre-ordering from the label direct

    just ridiculous or in osc's words: ludicrous!

  5. I'm on a point in my "musical-life" where an album like TH couldn't fit better.

    I'm really into Horror Movies and Soundtracks since a year, again. I was heavily into horror in my teens like most of us,

    but this time it's different, i see the aesthetics and art in the movies and music, not just the gore and fx.

    So as I own the whole Death Waltz Recordings Catalogue and almost all John Carpenter Soundtracks,

    this new BOC is a very welcome listen and it's getting better and better the more I listen to it.

    Thanks!

  6. maybe we get some little goodie with our pre-orders. and maybe a early release of the files.

     

    apart from that hope, there is no real point in pre-ordering from such established artists whose products will be still in stock in a few months.

     

    what was the point with all the deluxe oversteps hype and i still can buy the records?!

     

    anyway, what do you think how many they'll press these days on such a release? 5000? (talking 'bout vinyl, needless to say)
