  1. this is the book that spawned most early conspiracy theories, the ones we all know and love today. http://www.amazon.com/The-Morning-Magicians-Conspiracies-Civilizations/dp/1594772312/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1341753469&sr=8-1&keywords=the+morning+of+the+magicians
  2. @compson: a friend of mine was trying to get to believe the conspiracies behind Kubrick's film making and we ended having a yelling match. anyhow, After filming Kubrick's very revealing film, Eyes Wide Shut, in which a secret ritual performed by both many higher order freemasonic linked secret societies and scientologists is portrayed, Cruise was physically and mentally tortured by David Miscaviage, current leader of scientology, for an entire week. Kubrick was then poisoned and murdered by scientologists shortly before the release of the film, but it was too late for them to stop the release. Cruise was forced to divorce Kidman after this incident because of her being an accomplice in the making of the blasphemous film and also for leading Cruise down a path away from scientology. Years later after a long and seemingly fruitless search for a new counterpart in Cruise's further developing as the next leader of the scientologists, Katie Holmes was chosen to become his new wife. As the future mother of the moonchild, a child bearing the soul of an important spirit that will usher in the new aeon of Horus and destroy the current state of humanity, she had much preparing to do. Scarlett Johansson was initially picked. She narrowly escaped her captures who held her on a boat somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. After having been subjected to initiation rituals carried out by scientologists to prepare her for her role as the "Scarlet Woman", she found a life boat and escaped while the members on board were asleep. They had raped Johansson for a full day, as part of the initiation, and she was rescued from a small island in the Caribbean. She is still in counseling to this day recovering from the emotional trauma. Katie Holmes was then selected, "initiated", and prepared to become the "Scarlet Woman", the whore of Babalon whom is the only female that can bring forth the moonchild into the world. Her and Cruise had Suri, the moonchild and the future queen of all humanity and the solar system. Recently it was learned by Holmes that not only would she soon be replaced by another woman to care for Suri in her further development as the moonchild but that Homaes would also be murdered in order for all scientogist secrets to remain within the group. They fear that she is not strong enough to keep such important information, aka lies, safe. She is currently on the run with her daughter, hiding in safe houses, wanting a divorce from Cruise and complete custody of Suri. She has a book written revealing all of the events she has gone through in dealing with Cruise and the scientologists, ready to publish at any moment. This is the one thing that has kept her alive during the whole ordeal that started about two years ago.
  3. Ah shit. Someone get Jules! being a fan of Tool in the early days and finally getting album number two in 1996 was mind blowing and life affirming. Some of you like Rush and I forgive you for that. Fuck the Strokes.
  4. yeah, I am down with Kurt playing Dyer. He is supposed to be in his fifties. Kurt can pull off a 50 something year old geologist. Danforth could be played brilliantly by Brad Dourif or Willem Dafoe. A Buscemi type. Not sure who would be perfect to write and direct. David Fincher could pull it off amazingly. Peter Jackson could as well. Whoever writes the script needs to stay faithful to the fucking 100 pages of awesome visuals, fear, and myth! Keep it in the fucking time period!
  5. Del Toro is just lazy and needed an excuse to back out of what would be an extremely difficult film to make, and nothing like Prometheus. The only similarity is that the old ones made us. The portrayal of the old ones and the Lovecraft mythos would be amazing on film and as I said before nothing like Prometheus. Fuck a bunch of Cruise though. Bruce Willis all the way.
  6. avatar would've been great if the navi looked like this dude. in fact, i would like to see a remake of avatar with the navi being made to look like this guy. it would quickly morph into some obscene surrealist horror when what's his face wakes up in the body of winged spore beast and proceeds to fall in love with another spore beast. flol! If you have read the story this is from it makes that sentiment hilarious. Actually, this is what the Engineers would look like if Del Toro made Prometheus. Read the story Hoodz. I think you would dig it. I want to read the second book as well now Auxien. Some people tell me it is amazing and others tell me it is boring. I love the ideas though. I have the Dune encyclopedia. So I have basically read all of the books. I history of the spacing guild is amazingly complex and interesting.
  7. After re-reading it, I was getting excited about the prospect for a film version, because I think it could actually benefit from an update. The book is filled with some outdated 50s thought and plenty of male chauvinism, but the core idea is still strong. If I was a screenwriter I would think it would be a lot of fun to re-envision the first 2/3 of the book into a more modern setting, while leaving the last part mostly untouched. Could be awesome, and actually improve on the novel (I know, heresy). wtf? He did a guide to fantasy? Checking... I remember seeing one of his books early on in my childhood. I was completely amazed by it but never purchased it. Went in to a Half Price books recently and looked through the fantasy one and a flood of memories came back to me, also I have since then read some of the books he is illustrating from. Very cool stuff. His envisioning of the Overlords is a bit different from mine, tis the beauty of the mind's eye. I definitely think a great film can be made from the novel, they just need to not use market research before making this one. All adapted novels to film should be more faithful. Screenwriters are basically saying that they are better than the original authors. Case in point, The Shining. Stephen King hated the film. I am not a big King fan but Kubrick basically did no wrong in my mind. Adapting Childhood's End would be a whole different ball of wax. It is all there, just write it into a screenplay. Perhaps modernize it a bit. That would be all that needs changing. *can of worms opened*
  8. thanks B. Lovely tune there, saved in my favs. THEE LONYUS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZ9El7k4mNo&feature=related
  9. I am not sure about that. I haven't watched Children of Men in a while and I do enjoy the writing. The film making was more effective, for myself, than the story. The over arcing idea is what I dug about CoM, just like in Prometheus. I guess it easier for me to enjoy film for its themes and not the details. Aesthetically, Prometheus was superior. The script for Children of Men was more reality based and impacting in that way. I love the themes in both films so they stand equal for myself.
  10. Indeed.... But why was there mass infertility??? Why was America a cesspool of shit??? Why was the film called Children of Men??? How the fuck did Michael Caine know Clive Owen's character? Why did everyone stop shooting during the amazing last scene, because of a baby??? How dumb? I just listened the latest Media Roots podcast hate on Prometheus. We can talk shit about anything. This film wasn't dumbed down. It had subtle symbolism throughout the entire film. O p i n i o n s. If you wanna talk about dumbed down, let's talk about most Adam Sandler films. or Taken. or World Trade Center. or Glen and Randa, hehe. I feel better now that people I respect think I am dumb for enjoying Prometheus and Lost. just kidding Robbie. I respect the fact that we have different thoughts on film.
  11. Based on what? Do you have any idea how many people register per day/week here? My mind reels when people make bizarre statements like this. All Ben was stating is that it would be hilarious if everyone called you Papa in an Orwellian dystopian nightmare sort of way. Shouldn't disturb you that much. JOKES! Like my Labanna Babalon thread...I think she is fun and hilarious. Not many people get the joke, or think it is funny. I know how you hate titties on your site. To be fair they were links to titties, not actual titties. I apologize. Hey, it's a personal choice - for me, I would have to be Sup-level retarded to even consider smoking pot for any reason. You want to do it? Go ahead, knock yourself out. Not for me. not really on topic but I have to wonder why you feel so strongly about pot. we're not talking about heroin Any drug, really - even alcohol - just not for me, and it would be a cold day in hell before I actively chose to take something like that. I personally think that alcohol should be much more restricted than it is, as it kills far more people than pot or other drugs. I personally have no problems with other people taking drugs, as long as they act responsibly with it and not endanger others. so you're straight edge, interesting. Not to get too personal but does it stem back to an alcoholic parent or early childhood trauma? or a religious viewpoint? or fear of lack of control? I was thinking last night (at a doug benson show) that its weird how if someone drinks everyday he's an alcoholic but if he smokes everyday he's just a stoner. maybe not that weird but very different To each their own and I think you and my brother would get along gloriously JR. I love him but he thinks he is right all the time. He is not right all of the time. The world is his website, as watmm is yours. All habits are addictions, no matter if it is drugs or biting your finger nails. They all have consequences and benefits as well. Addiction doesn't just need to be a negative word. Just as JR said, as long as it doesn't impede on others' lives. Papa Rex don't believe in dancin neither! Countdown to Prometheus 3D IMAX in 30 minutes and no, I am not getting high before seeing it, this time............................ and now back to subject: STOOPID SCIENTISTS! DUMB HE-MAN LOOKING CREATORS. DUMB SUICIDE MISSION SCENE! I love how much this film either bugs the shit out of people, they love the fuck out of it or they are on the fence about it. Love, Hate, Love/Hate. Good art has many varied reactions, this is how it becomes well known art as well. Bad art gets no reactions. imho
  12. Oh just the fact that I am spending money, for a third time, on a film that you despise. Thought it might get your goat but I know you don't care. It was a friendly fuck you.
  13. this film is a drug. I am going to see it at IMAX in less than 3 hours, yay! Third time. Fuck you Squee, I love you man. Sorry Jimmy but this film is awesome in 3D, and as I said before most are not.
  14. the Orrery room scene is def my favourite. the first scene. the shots of flying through space towards RU-486. the film looks and sounds amazing.
  15. WOO HOO! I LOVES MOOVEEZ! Where's my gun? Iam seeing it again tomorrow for once last romp in space before I get my robot body and travel through space forever. or til my robot body gives out. and Robbie liked LOST, *mind blown* I don't think anyone went to this movie expecting answers to those questions, Luke. Yes Sir Rexalot, they were expecting answers and they are pissed. I was one of the ones that expected nothing and was pleasantly surprised. I love space, space in 3D is even better. I also enjoy the story. Enjoying the story is what sets fans of this film apart from non fans. Well Robbie hates the Engineer design. So picky people with superior aesthetic choices also hate this film. love ya Robster. did you decide to sneak away and smoke some pot? holy shit man "Lack of understanding" Give me a fucking break - I'm just sick to death of pretentious assholes (I'll let you decided for yourself if you're in that camp or not) who complain about movies mostly, from my perspective, for the sake of doing so instead of doing what movies were meant for - enjoyment. I enjoyed this movie - is it some great literary work? Fuck no. Is it enjoyable on a visual level? Quite so. Does it have decent pacing, and plot progression? I'd say so. Is the acting decent? Sure - no Academy Award-winning performances for sure, but were the characters believable and play their roles well? Sure. Please, Oh Great Movie Expert™ - please educate a mongoloid like me on why I couldn't possibly have enjoyed this movie since it's so mediocre. Please explain to me why I felt satisfied and enthusiastically talked about this movie with my family. And, for your final act, please tell me how you can say I'm wrong if I think it's the best Sci Fi movie I've seen since Blade Runner, which happens to be my favourite movie of all time - I'd love for you to tell me how my own individual likes and dislikes couldn't possibly be right in stating something like that. And if the day ever comes that I would be retarded enough to smoke pot, rest assured I'll pretend to hate movies for the sake of it along with all the other half-baked morons on the internet. HOLY EFFING LOL! Don't mess with Papa. I felt a belt hitting my ass with that reBUTTal. punz good drugs are not all that bad. juss sayin........ woh, these are lies right man? ne'er would've thunk it. i just literally do not believe you are telling the truth, don't ask me how or why i feel this way i just cannot even process a sentence such as 'best scifi movie since bladerunner' please don't take offense OH DAMNZ. Nerd warfare at its most rare and vicious form. Duck and cover. and again, Love ya Monsieur Robbe.
  16. I love Bill Murray. and this was found after an insane hail storm here in Dallas by a friend that had just seen Prometheus as well. Looks just like the Black goo worm snakes. nuts!
