Blade Runner
Has anyone seen Hook? I keep meaning to go see it but haven't yet. I've heard it was good. I DID see one of the 'Amazing Stories' episodes yesterday though, 'the family dog' hahahahaha I LOVE that episode, it was cool!!
Captain James T Kirk
Nope, I've heard mixed reviews about hook... some say it was really good, some said it stunk..
Lightning
I loved it... It was a little slow in the beginning, but they really want to make Peter Pan look like a tyrant Parent (which he is)... But once you get to Never-Never Land... It starts to heat up... I thought it was cool, and a film that any parent or prospective parent should see...
Captain James T Kirk
Eric said he saw it, but he didn't like it...
Lightning
My mom didn't really like it, either... It started off too slowly for her, and that threw her off for the rest of the movie... She did like the parts in NeverLand, though...
Blade Runner
I'd probably like it, I don't mind the slow beginings too much...
Blade Runner
Did anyone see the 'Addams Family'? I thought it was pretty good. Coulda used a little more story though...
Roya
i gotta go to the theatre one of these days..i'm missing out on all these cool movies..
Blade Runner
Yeah, go see some movies... I need to go see Hook, and The Last Boy Scout...
Lightning
I need to see The Last Boy Scout, too... I'll probably wait 'til I get back to Wallaż, though... Wade can pay for it...
Isis
I actually saw a movie last night...Thelma & Louise...it was REALLY pro-female...I would be offended if I were a guy...It would be a good movie to see while in a "all men are scum" mood...it was funny even though I wasn't though...and there were TWO nice guys in it...but the rest were the BIGGEST assholes...
deadman
offended? most the guys i know *are* assholes, in one way or another. of course, this seems to be true of the majority of the human race....
Lightning
Indeed... Verily...
Spur
most guys, and gals too...
Isis
most guys I know arn't THAT bad though...most arn't psycho control freaks, or sex maniacs...(i.e. rapists) or theives...
Spur
well, you never know... did you see the way cser was eyeing you at red robin?
Lightning
Oooooooooooooooooh...
Chris the Shaych
Hook was a good movie, though the cyberpunk lost boys were a bit odd.
deadman
cyberpunk lost boys? oh my. i remember reading some skate mag about a year ago, and it mentioned something about spielberg casting for about 100 skate punks to play the lost boys....
Blade Runner
'Neat-o'
Spur
uh-HUH.
Lightning
Well, I don't think there were 100, but there were a hell of a lot...
Roya
i heard they're going to have a skateboard hearing at the CHS cafeteria in Jan....to discuss whether they should ban skateboarders from the parks...
Blade Runner
Why not?!! They ban cruisers, they ban bikes on sidewalks when there's no room on the street for them without getting hit by a car.... it only makes sense in the current stream of 'logic' that we see in todays society... I wonder if they'll ever base their logic on fact... doubt it, they opinions would never hold up to it!! Long live the wonderful oppresion of everyone who's different!!!
deadman
grumble.
Lightning
Hmmmm... Hmmmm... Hmmmm...
Roya
well, phooey on the government.
Roya
i was just wondering...what if it was your religon to believe that there was no such thing as land ownership...you had a right to go whereever you wanted. i wonder if the government would allow people to do that.
deadman
no, it wouldn't. they don't care.
Shane
separation of church and state...
Blade Runner
No the governement wouldn't allow it, nor would our society. The Indians are a living example of that... They believe that the land does not belong to anyone, and, when you use it you leave it the way you found it... Part of their philosphical beliefs.... The aboriginies of the Australian outback also have a similar belief...
Isis
I second that motion..
Captain James T Kirk
I third it...
Stupid Fuckhead
I fuck it
Roya
Well, shut up, STUPID.
deadman
conspiracy? revolution? oh my.
Shane
zero.
Shane
the only revolution capable of taking over the gov't..
the "FUCK IT" revolt
Roya
should we talk about the government....I..
Shane
hi, hi hi..
deadman
hello. how are you? i know you. i knew you. i think i can remember your name.
Shane
hello. I'm sorry. I lost myself. I think I thought you were someone else.
Roya
Should we talk about the weather..I..I.. Should we talk about the government...I..I..
Shane
HI HI.. ok.
Shane
let's begin again. begin the begin. let's begin again.
I looked for it. and I found it. Miles Standish proud. let's begin again. begin again.
Roya
HI HI or I I??????
Captain James T Kirk
I'm lost... What ARE you talking about/
Roya
some song.
Captain James T Kirk
though so... which song?
Lightning
Then that's good... I can't wait until it comes out on video... (I can't afford to see it again)
Chris the Shaych
Beware the Cyberpunk Lost Boy...
Blade Runner
You know, I must just be out of it. Everyone I know talks about this Cyberpunk stuff and I have NO idea what it is? Anyone care to enlighten me?
Italian Stallion
or me?
Chris the Shaych
It's a weird sci-fi type genre, that involves cybernetics, elves, and magic. Shadowrun is a big one. Mostly a dark, corporation controlled future.
chiquita
Personally I think Hook was okay, but not all that great. There were some good scenes in neverland though.
deadman
cyberpunk was a science fiction genre that was popular in the mid '80s. the main idea went something like this: the near future. advanced cybernetics. weak, ineffectual governments. super-powerful international corporations (which constantly fought between themselves using hired street toughs and custom-made soldiers.) kinda painted a grim picture of the future...overpopulation, hunger, and all that. authors to look for include william gibson, pat carrdigan, et al.
cyberpunk was recently joined with the fantasy genre in the role-playing game 'shadowrun'. from what i've heard, the gameplay kinda bites (the rules suck), but the concept is pretty cool.
Blade Runner
Now I understand.... sounds interesting, and close to the truth... except for the cybernetics part..... weak, ineffectual governments, etc.... hehe
Scorpion
Is america becomming a third world nation? next on 20/20
Spur
i don't think the cybernetics are too far apart, personally... but i doubt how fast they will become commonplace to affect society.
Isis
It's impossible for the U.S. to become a 3rd world nation, by it's definition.
Spur
you mean, by mr heikkeilla's definition. there is a difference.
Isis
No, it's really the diffinition....a 3rd world country is one that doesn't fall into the U.S. or Soviet sphere of influence.
Isis
I realize that def. is outdated, but unless there is some revisal of it, there is no other standard.
Spur
lemme look it up... i would just love to prove heikkeilla wrong (i hate the sexist slime idiot)... the actual definition according to my dictionary is "the underdeveloped or developing countries of Africa, Asai or Latin America, especially those not allied with the communist or non-communist blocs"... so hekkeilla is really just skirting the defnition. the definition has more to do with state of development and location, not alliances with the us or ussr. in any case, the communist bloc is more than just the ussr and the non-communist bloc is more than just the us.
Isis
That's what I thought it was too, but Kathleen explained it too me once, and I accepted her diffiniton.
Spur
Any word means just what you define it as. But to make communication easier,
we try to match wordsw with definitions across all people. So, in other words, a word can mean whatever you want it to, but it sure makes it a lot easier when you accept the dictionaries definition instead of Hekkeilla's, if they difer. What did Kathleen explain to you.
Italian Stallion
Media uses it as a term to discuss political positions while useing underdeveloped as an undertone..but they never refer to developed 3rd world countries as 3rd world...just by name, like JAPAN.
Spur
yeah. mainly most people use the term "3rd world" to mean underdeveloped.
Italian Stallion
No they don'
t. They mainly use it to determine non-decided's but that will change soon. Already, people think of 3rd world as underdeveloped. Most people a year ago would have answered NATO-WARSAW PACT thing.....
Scorpion
It means that the US is falling behind while the REAL 3rd world nations are catching up. geeze I was just trying to make a joke.
deadman
i use it to refer to spur.
Italian Stallion
would that be "trigger"
Italian Stallion
That would be your heel?
Isis
Anyone seen any good ones lately?
Italian Stallion
Cape Fear is Okay. Not real exciting though. It woulda been real dumb if I'd had to pay for it.
Roya
i wanna get the soundtrack to Empire of the Sun.
Blade Runner
I saw the Rocketeer and Thelma & Louise. Both good movies...
Isis
Rocketeer? I thought that was REALLY stupid when I saw it...Thelma & Louise was cool though...that's where I met john actually....
Roya
hahaha
Roya
isn't that the one you told me to watch, if i was feeling in a very Tous-les-hommes-sont-ecumes mood??
Isis
uh huh...it'w really anti-male, but it's still funny...
Roya
i wanna watch Thelma & Louise. NOW.
Scorpion
Roya's got a gun!! run for your lives!!!
Isis
that movie is so anti-male...it's funny I met my then future boyfriend during it...
Roya
well, ok, i don't anymore.
Shane
bitch
Scorpion
Now she's logged on to the DOD main computer!! NO ROYA!!! Don't iniate launch!!!
Roya
WAH. Shanes not being nice to me.... <sob> <sob>
Blade Runner
Rocketeer was cool!! what are you talking about. It was just meant to a fun, adventure movie, and that's what it was. Thelma and Louise wasn't really anti-male, it was anti-asshole. Just so happens in that movie that all the assholes were male. At least that's how I see it...
Isis
yeah, but all the males were assholes, except that one cop, so the message you get is 1 in 100 or more, males is not an asshole...
Isis
I need to see a movie, there are a lot of good ones out...
ETHAN WALKER

movies are neat...
Italian Stallion
Hey, Mugwump, can I get a copy of some of yer cartoons?
Spur
i dunno, all of hte popular movies are so mediocre, ya know? i like the little shit-movies at the film festivals better.
Isis
Some popular movies are good, I liked Prince of Tides, and Beauty and the Beast...actually i got really lucky, I didn't go to that many movies, but I saw all the really good ones that got nominated for academy awards.
ETHAN WALKER

Spur
cool.. let me borrow akira sometime too, man. i still haven't seen tha movie yet.
Oyra
dude, the film festival movies are cool, but the short films they play before are THE BEST... there so cool. i wanted to go to that one where all they played was those short films, but i never got the chance... did anyone else go?
Oyra
geez, i haven't even seen the movies you people are talking about. NEAT.
Blade Runner
Akira wasn't THAT great. The animation is cool, but that's about it. Isis> I guess I didn't get the same interpretation from Thelma & Louise. All the assholes might have been male but you could make the same movie with a couple guys and women as the assholes. It wouldn't be THAT hard. I guess I just generalized the movie more, kind of a good all around buddy movie...
