No Batusi for Old Lounge

[Tron5000]

That movie deserved to be underrated. It wasnt very good. I expected so much more because those Digital Shorts are hilarious.

I'm a sucker for mindless comedy, especially when people get hurt.

[Shoemeister]

What's going on, Tusi!?

NATALIE PORTMAN?

JG, quite frankly, I'm shocked! :wow:

[DaddyGrayson]

NATALIE PORTMAN?

JG, quite frankly, I'm shocked! :wow:

She's gorgeous! What can I say!?

[Injust07]

I'm a sucker for mindless comedy, especially when people get hurt.

Oh no no no. Dont get me wrong, those are my favorites, but this one just didnt do it for me. There were some funny parts, but really nothing great.

[BatSpider]

NATALIE PORTMAN?

JG, quite frankly, I'm shocked! :wow:

Why?

In the words of Borat: I make a sexy time with her vershen!

[DaddyGrayson]

Why?

In the words of Borat: I make a sexy time with her vershen!

Cuz I've had a Hayley avatar almost the whole time I've had an avvy.

[BatSpider]

Cuz I've had a Hayley avatar almost the whole time I've had an avvy.

I meant why shoe is shocked

Your Portman avvy= :up:

[Shoemeister]

She's gorgeous! What can I say!?

Agreed 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000%.

So what's new with you man?

[DaddyGrayson]

Agreed 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000%.

So what's new with you man?

Not much. Living a great life right now actually. Could not be happier. You?

[Shoemeister]

Not much. Living a great life right now actually. Could not be happier. You?

Same here, dude! Things are going great. Just enjoying my fairly simplistic semester. Had a hell of a week working on the first episode of my new late night show for University TV, but it's a big hit.

And how's the relationship life going for you? I haven't been on much for the last week or so.

[BatSpider]

I feel awesome too, just finised my new video a little while back :yay:

Dude, aside from a little baggage (i.e. crazy parents, etc), my new lady is perfect. She's amazing. And gorgeous to boot.

Awesome! Definately let me know when you get it up. Is it a one time thing or a continuous type deal?

[Shoemeister]

Awesome! Definately let me know when you get it up. Is it a one time thing or a continuous type deal?

Continuous, although there's a rumor going around that they may shut down the studio early this semester, because they're going to be renovationg the building. We're having a meeting about it on Monday. As long as it stays up, it'll be continuous.

AH CRAP... nightly downtime. See ya kids in a bit.

[Shoemeister]

Damn that nightly crash.

Everyone vacated.

[Tron5000]

Sleeping's overrated. Although I somehow managed to get more accomplished in my dreams than in real life.

I'm a lazy bastard.

I still don't think he killed anyone at all.

Maybe the homeless guy. Who knows... I love that movie.

I'm reading on wikipedia that "the main Batman theme was purposely introduced at the end of Batman Begins" I'm confused by this information....is that in reference to Danny Elfmans Batman theme? and if so I really don't hear it at all in the ending sequence...can anyone here offer an explanation?

zimmer wrote a theme for batman. he didn't introduce that part of the score until the credits because he felt that since batman was still developing, he hadn't earned the big hero theme. at the end of the film he is truly batman, thus has earned the theme. so in TDK we'll hear a bigger better version of the end theme from BB, which is batman's theme

hmmmm....I don't remember hearing anything that made me think "wow...thats batman's music" but I guess I'll have to give it another listen.

It's probably referring to the BB theme that emerges at the end of the credits.

[Shoemeister]

hmmmm....I don't remember hearing anything that made me think "wow...thats batman's music" but I guess I'll have to give it another listen.

From what I understand, it'll be augmented a bit for TDK in order to become the full-blown new theme for Bats. But it's certainly there.

[Tron5000]

Currently watching True Life on MTV, and it's about living with Tourette's. Man, that would really suck.

[Anita18]

btw, how would a story map of "American Psycho" look? you seem somewhat adept at these things so I'll let you have at it.
Here's a whack at it:

MDQ - will Patrick Bateman get a hold of his homicidal tendencies?
Inciting incident - Patrick kills a homeless man
Plot point 1 - Patrick kills Paul Allen
Midpoint - Patrick starts being investigated by the detective played by Dafoe
Plot point 2 - Patrick goes on his rampage and kills a lot of people
Climax - Patrick confronts his lawyer about the murders but it's discovered that he may not have committed them.

Women always want it bigger...
It was the first time I've asked. Men want it bigger more often than women do. :cwink:

I find it fascinating that breast augmentation is more often talked about publicly, but most of the spam I get is about how I can make my hypothetical penis bigger. :lmao:

[CaptainClown]

hola everyone; CC is busy with a lil project for the night so whats up with you guys

Also I think Plot point 2 in American Psycho is when he shoots the women at the ATM and goes on a spree and is close to getting caught or plot point 2 is when he goes into his rented apartment to find its clear

[Luchastyle]

can't make a penis bigger. that's a myth. unless you do surgery, which isn't safe

[Tron5000]

Bigger's not always better. Sometimes you see women with just ungodly large breasts. I'd say proportional is better than bigger.

Don't get me wrong, I loves me some big boobies. But they don't fit on everyone.

[ActuallyRobin]

Ya, proportion is important, its like how they look with the rest of the package.

Also, so many good movies out in may, june, july but WTF is coming out in April, seriously I can't think of a single one

[CaptainClown]

cc loves short girls with big boobs

[Shoemeister]

That's not what the 549 new messages in my Hotmail inbox are telling me.

[Luchastyle]

when it comes to boobage, if i can grab em, they are big enough. i like all sizes

[CaptainClown]

I have a question about those penis enlargement products; why do you have to keep on buying pills. Do you shrink or you keep popping pills till you are satisfied?

[Tron5000]

I ain't messin' with my junk. Too many things can go wrong when you start messin' with stuff, and I'm not about to go down that road.

[Anita18]

Yeah, I had a hard time with it. It depends on what you think the major dramatic question is.

That's not what the 549 new messages in my Hotmail inbox are telling me.
Hey, at least you're a guy. :woot:

[ActuallyRobin]

Brief research tells me In Bruges is about the only notable thing coming out in April

[Anita18]

Bigger's not always better. Sometimes you see women with just ungodly large breasts. I'd say proportional is better than bigger.

Don't get me wrong, I loves me some big boobies. But they don't fit on everyone.
Bigger is only better either when they're not attached to you, or if you don't have to do anything athletic.

My well-endowed friends often tell me how much of a pain they are, especially when working out. Now I feel grateful that I can pretend they don't exist most of the time. :oldrazz:

I ain't messin' with my junk. Too many things can go wrong when you start messin' with stuff, and I'm not about to go down that road.
Me neither. The thought of having myself cut open to put something foreign in there (and leaving it!) when it's not medically necessary just squicks me out real bad.




ONE MORE POST! I should ready my larger Crooozified avvy.

i believe that's the idea. i think it only lasts for as long as you are taking the pills. but again, i'm fairly certain they don't work. at least that's what i read on the online.

My girlfriend in HS was 5'1". Not sure of her breast size (I'm bad with those things), but they were ginormous. She was a cheerleader and ran track, and absolutely hated having to lug those things around. I didn't mind, though. :woot:

well you could probably make them in almost any picture program. but these are editted from sprites from technos japan games. otherwise known as kunio-kun. (super dodgeball and river city ransom are examples).

so i use the images from those games and edit them, and then put them together to make animations.

i do it in a program called gamemaker (which is free). it's used to make simple games, but it also has it's own image editor. which allows u to work pixel by pixel. which makes small images like this much easier.

then i edit the timing of each frame in a gif editor.

[CaptainClown]

you should do a pixel version of the DKSA superman asswhoopin

things I do require a qualified os....vista = teh suck and they don't make it easy to downgrade

[Anita18]

Sigh, I tried anyway, and only the CROOOZ part is working, not the Stephen part. :oldrazz:

[-Crusher-]

hopfully microsoft learns from their mistakes with vista.


maybe get a mac book cap.

[CaptainClown]

nice crooze pictures; should we bring back the crooze fad? really piss some of the loungers off.

I made 6K the other day, and it took a while to update :o

[-Crusher-]

im uber tired, but i dont wanna go to bed, i wanna stay and hangout with all you folks.

[CaptainClown]

I made 6k months ago....

[Eggyman]

I made 6k months ago....

You forgot to add the 'ner ner' at the end of that sentence :woot:

[CaptainClown]

well I don't know; I don't think thats as much of an accomplishment as it is kind of scary

[Luchastyle]

yeah, i dont think it's anything to be proud of. hell, i have too many posts for how long ive been here, and uve been here less time and u have more than double my posts.

[-Crusher-]

kay folks, im falling asleep at the desk.

time for sleep. talk to you all tomorrow...or today...but in a few hours after ive slept....



night all.

[CaptainClown]

I don't see why it is so hard. I just have a lot to say; also I had nothing to do late at night when I couldn't sleep so I would just chat with whoever was online.

[Anita18]

FINALLY!

STEPHEN DANCE!!! :grin:

[Luchastyle]

yay! look at him go!

[Eggyman]

Mine was taking ages to stack up, but then I started posting at work and my post count shot up.

[Luchastyle]

eggy, your location makes sense with your username. but then given that jack sparrow is your avvy, it takes on a whole new meaning

[CaptainClown]

Ya I don't even know how my posts got so high. Oh well; I wouldn't mind giving a thousand to everyone else so it was more proportioned. It also doesn't help that I am typically by a computer all the time and am bored out of my mind.

[Eggyman]

eggy, your location makes sense with your username. but then given that jack sparrow is your avvy, it takes on a whole new meaning

Duly noted. I'm just gonna change it :o

[Luchastyle]

i know how it goes. im by the computer all day too. i just dont usually feel like saying anything in any of the threads. otherwise my post count would rival yours. because i'm on the computer like 10 hours a day.

[Luchastyle]

Duly noted. I'm just gonna change it :o

[CaptainClown]

I always like to say something like now...

I kinda thought what it may sound like when I put it there. I just didn't think anyone's mind would be twisted enough to make that connection :o

heh. yeah. i know what you mean. on a good day i can get 150 posts. but then other days ill get like 10. it really depends.

[Eggyman]

LOL! Indeed.

And I've just noticed your avy :lmao:

[CaptainClown]

well I haven't been posting lately cause I have been busy so there is that bit.

[Luchastyle]

LOL! Indeed.

And I've just noticed your avy :lmao:
=) still workin on it. i think im done with it for the night. but im still gonna add more. we're alloted 80kb and it's only 48 right now. got some room to work with =D

[Eggyman]

It looks good. I kinda miss my perma-egg, but it was getting a bit old :o

[Luchastyle]

well I haven't been posting lately cause I have been busy so there is that bit.
yeah. i noticed that.

ill be back in a few. everyone will probably be gone. i'm always on when it's like a desolate wasteland. most of the time it's between the time when americans go to sleep and the british wake up. so sometimes ill be on and ill get a couple englishmen to talk to. other times...nothin.

[CaptainClown]

well chances are I am online; aw damn it we gotta tlak to freakin brits....

[Luchastyle]

It looks good. I kinda miss my perma-egg, but it was getting a bit old :o
i like egg-based avatars for you. perhaps eventually another egg will tickle your fancy and you can use it =D

[Eggyman]

Oi! I'm British :o

[Luchastyle]

well chances are I am online; aw damn it we gotta tlak to freakin brits....
hehe. i know you're jokin =D but i don't even notice a difference. sometimes word choices, but that's about it. but yeah, i'll be back

[Luchastyle]

Oi! I'm British :o
i know it eggy :up:

[CaptainClown]

I'm just kidding I love the brits; sometimes I wish I was british so I could scream like a soccar hooligan at people

[Eggyman]

i like egg-based avatars for you. perhaps eventually another egg will tickle your fancy and you can use it =D

I wanted one where my perma-egg exploded but no one could do it :(

:hoboj:

[CaptainClown]

Also I loved Britain; was kind of disapointed with Big Ben though. I liked Italy; Italians are *******s though

[Eggyman]

I'm just kidding I love the brits; sometimes I wish I was british so I could scream like a soccar hooligan at people

[Eggyman]

Also I loved Britain; was kind of disapointed with Big Ben though. I liked Italy; Italians are *******s though

Yeah. Big Ben isn't so big, and he looks F--- all like a Ben to me :o

I've been Italy. The place :up:

The people were ok in small doses, but I'll let them, off seeing as it's their country lol

[Eggyman]

I can do it; I just don't like faking it

Yeahy, faking it's a big turn off :oldrazz:

[CaptainClown]

I dunno; when i was in Italy all the italians just stared at me. Is staring normal in Europe or something? I don't think I ever got that briefing before.

[CaptainClown]

alright Jad what were we talking about?

[JaD]

when i made my shh account i had no clue there were so many people from all around

sniff...beautiful isnt it

[Eggyman]

I dunno; when i was in Italy all the italians just stared at me. Is staring normal in Europe or something? I don't think I ever got that briefing before.

I know what you mean. I've been round Europe quite a bit - some places are like that; some aren't.

Wales is bad (although that isn't Europe) - you go in a shop in certain parts of Wales and they'll be speaking English until they find out you're English or whatever.. then they'll start speaking Welsh, ignorant ****** :cmad:

[JaD]

alright Jad what were we talking about?

we were talking about psychos/sociopaths and how they want to cement themselves in history by doing something they believe they just have to

and its effect on media/film/videogames

[CaptainClown]

Haha I loved all of the UK; esp the Indian girls there wooo

As for Jad what part of the country you from?

Ahh, well I have to admit I have many thoughts of such actions. Though I know its wrong but its amazing there isn't a lot stopping me if I so wanted to. The way to actually defeat these people is not give them the attention they wanted.

F**k me, that's an awesome flick.

i think the main difference between us and the ones who act, is that well, to put it harshly, they're crazy in my opinion.

the thought to chain the doors of a college building and kill as many people as you can before the cops storm it is something that has absolutely no justification. and they have lost their minds, whatever caused them to do this is what sucks tho, (anxiety, depression, "they don't fit in")

close, but no, Newark

right in between San Jose and Oakland, and next to Fremont

It was entertaining but didn't make me want to rethink my life or challenge my misconceptions of life. Actually I would be a liar if I was to say I was entertained. I was kind of sick of the shaky cam and couldn't quite understand the need to document the whole thing.

I don't know; only reason why I don't do what I do is because of consequences. I wouldn't feel as bad because I honestly believe we need more tragedies.
As for his reasons; there are many reasons why. Now I don't think he is right; nor do I think he had a good reason. I believe he is pretty normal like all of us but was pushed to an edge mentally that caused him to stumble; and he didn't have the experience to handle it. Also I believe there was a chemical dysfunction that did not help the circumstances.

Well, that's the thing. It's not meant to be a purposeful, life-changing film -- it's just meant to present a totally refined way of film making. Sure, various other projects have adopted a similar shooting method, but none have used it for a film such as this.

I don't know about you guys, but I thought it was one of the most realistic and believable films I've ever seen. Cinema is designed to engulf the audience -- it's meant to bring you, almost physically, into the action. Well, the shooting method in Cloverfield is by far the most effective way to accomplish that fear.

I thought it was absolutely fantastic, and was terrifyingly brilliant throughout. Artistically refined in every way.

yea i definitely think that anyone is capable of reaching whatever mental struggles and obstacles he had, but in his case i guess consequences soon goes out of the picture once he reached that certain point. where for us like u said we think of consequences before thinking or doing bad things

well he was actually declared mentally ill too so, thats something not everyone has

Well if had no point then I really don't want to see it. I didn't really felt engulfed nor did I relate or cared if the characters lived or died. I actually was wanting them to die.
Also if it isn't meaning to strive for some sort of message then its a terrible story; and it failed in the art of story telling. Special effects aside; it was crap. But thats where we are different

Well i don't think he was planning on consequences he wanted to kill himself so he doesn't have to face those consequences. I do kind of understand what he might have felt because I do not care for the way my generations society is like. I do not like the fads or the attitudes; unfortunately as I said before doing what he did really does nothing.

yeah exactly

but to tell u the truth im not really looking forward to mid-april this year, as i get the feeling almost every year some nut is gonna bring a gun to school during that time and start shooting

Well, obviously there's a message in there, because the entire film was played around the love angle between the main guy and the woman who we are first introduced to at the beginning of the film. That's why the film ended the way it did, because monsters -- who are, in my opinion, being symbolic of terrorism in our world today -- can come to your home and destroy it, but they can never take away your love.

It's not an original message to convey, but it's still noteworthy for the context of the story. If you didn't like the shooting method, then to each their own, I guess...

But if you are willing to open your mind and see the greatness of such camera-work, then more power to you. The more you block it out, the more closed-minded you are being toward cinema. I mean, cinema is about inventing new things and new ways of film making. This was just another step into a larger world for cinema, and I can guarantee that more films will adopt this strategic way of film making. From an artistic viewpoint, that's how powerful it is.

[CaptainClown]

Honestly; I am not worried. I think tragedies like this are good and needed. Our culture is becoming too soft. Though that is bad, I believe that tragedies such as this unite people and help us move forward.

I just didn't see it as that. It was very 2D and Blair Witch with a giant monster movie front. I am glad you found it as a break through movie that you could nut to; but I on the other hand found it to be very superficial and nausiating. I am pretty open minded about everything and will give it another chance later, but that is my judgment as of yet.

i haven't seen the movie, but meh to your last paragraph. i agree to a certain extent, but i wouldn't necessarily call this method brilliant. was blair witch a masterpiece? maybe you think it is.

there's not a whole lot of room for this style. it has it's advantages, it adds a realistic feel to a movie. but how many movies can be done that way?

not too many. in fact, i would bet that cloverfield 2 is shot traditionally, because the novelty (and that's what it is) of the style serves no purpose in a sequel. how long can you follow various people around in such a way?

I would have loved it if they had like other POV's of the whole thing. Like a news Anchor; someone watching from afar; someone in the military and someone on the ground like it was done. Then you could have had it not be a roller coaster for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

I think you do have to be mentally ill to go on a mass shooting spree on people you don't know.

I mean, if it was just an anger management issue, people would go after those who had tormented them or made them angry or whatever, but on people you've never met? That's mental illness.

Honestly; I am not worried. I think tragedies like this are good and needed. Our culture is becoming too soft. Though that is bad, I believe that tragedies such as this unite people and help us move forward.
Why do you think it's too soft? Heck, I think there's a pervasive culture of fear and paranoia right now. Long ago, people didn't have to lock their doors. I would consider that soft, LOL. Not what we have right now.

Now if you mean soft as in irresponsibility, it depends on where you grew up and what you're familiar with. Judging from the mainstream media, you'd think that everyone was like Paris Hilton, but there are plenty of young people doing good things for society at the same time.

[Luchastyle]

cap'n, you like no country for old men.

i don't know if u read books, but no country was written by cormac mccarthy. and he won the pulitzer this year for "the road." i read it yesterday and i thought it was awesome. i think you might like it. it's bleak. and it's depressing. and it's tedious in some ways. but i thought it was really good =D

there are some people who don't like it, but most do. no chapters. and it's written kinda weird. but that's his style. he doesn't use puncuation and stuff.

it's good. if you read books, check it out. i actually dont read books. this was only the second novel i ever read. but i'm trying to start reading.

[Mr. Superhero]

Well calling me stubborn is definitly the way to continue a civil convo.

Not calling you stubborn, chief. Just saying that most things we don't think we can enjoy, from a personal perspective, can be enjoyed if we simply open our minds and make an effort.

The film makers put in the effort for us so we should put the effort in for them, I assume...

i haven't seen the movie, but meh to your last paragraph. i agree to a certain extent, but i wouldn't necessarily call this method brilliant. was blair witch a masterpiece? maybe you think it is.
This plays into the point I made earlier. Blair Witch was an interesting film, but Cloverfield is better, due mainly to the fact that it is shot in a better environment and has a greater cinematic feel to it.

there's not a whole lot of room for this style. it has it's advantages, it adds a realistic feel to a movie. but how many movies can be done that way?
I actually think that many films can be shot in this way, but not many film makers would dare to adopt this style, because methinks that it can only work well for horror flicks, as opposed to action flicks such as James Bond and Batman.

not too many. in fact, i would bet that cloverfield 2 is shot traditionally, because the novelty (and that's what it is) of the style serves no purpose in a sequel. how long can you follow various people around in such a way?
Oh, I agree. This method of shooting does not serve to set-up a sequel film, but that doesn't really matter, does it? Because cinema isn't about sequels. It's about the film, itself, and how it works well.

[CaptainClown]

I mean soft in the sense that they don't know a tragedy as a whole. There are certain cases all the time of tragedy; but non that snap people out of this comfort of life that it is now.
Children are no longer aspiring to reach high or study hard. They are raised with all these politically correct things and aren't hearing the truth like "not everyone is ready for college". There are many people doing good things now; but that is not enough.

That was kind of all over the place but I am not really thinking right now

[Luchastyle]

Oh, I agree. This method of shooting does not serve to set-up a sequel film, but that doesn't really matter, does it? Because cinema isn't about sequels. It's about the film, itself, and how it works well.
cinema isn't about sequels. but hollywood is. sequel for cloverfield is in the works already. that's the only reason i brought it up.

well thats what was i actually saying earlier, but we were trying to see if theres any way we can relate to his struggles, as all of us may feel hatred at times but know of the consequences that would lie ahead. and thats where the mentally ill part or how i like to put it, crazy, comes in

Hmm, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.

It will be very interesting to see how they decide to shoot the sequel. But, like you said, it's all about the novelty. "Cloverfield", in of itself, works, because of the shooting method. It might not bode too well in a sequel, because the novelty will be lost. But that novelty would be lost because it was taken to the limit in the first film, which a good thing.

yeah, that's why it would be a good idea to ditch it and take a traditional approach and build a franchise, because i think that was the original intention. i think JJ said at one point that he wanted america to have it's own monster. that sounds he like he wants a franchise. if he can build one, cool. so the sequel will likely be a classic-style monster movie, shot traditionally. maybe not though. but i definitely think that would be the right move

Yeah, I kind of agree with you. I don't think that using the "handheld camera" shooting style would be a good way to shoot the sequel, but I'm relatively open to the concept.

The first one was great, nonetheless.

I actually think that many films can be shot in this way, but not many film makers would dare to adopt this style, because methinks that it can only work well for horror flicks, as opposed to action flicks such as James Bond and Batman.
Probably wouldn't work for action flicks. We've already seen how tight and shaky camera work was SO well-loved by Batman fans in BB. :oldrazz:

I agree that it would probably only work for films where you want to stick people right in the film experience, so it would probably be relegated to thrillers or horror. It increases suspense that way.

I mean soft in the sense that they don't know a tragedy as a whole. There are certain cases all the time of tragedy; but non that snap people out of this comfort of life that it is now.
Children are no longer aspiring to reach high or study hard. They are raised with all these politically correct things and aren't hearing the truth like "not everyone is ready for college". There are many people doing good things now; but that is not enough.

That was kind of all over the place but I am not really thinking right now
It's drastically different from where I'm seeing. I was surrounded by kids who wanted that perfect SAT score and the highest GPA. I was jaded by the fact that that's all they wanted. :oldrazz: But I guess if it isn't one thing, it's always another.

I don't think it's wrong that children should be shielded from tragedy. It really does a number on you mentally, and after having so many terrible things happen to you, I imagine it would simply numb you after a while. I didn't go to a funeral until well into college, but every time I hear about people dying overseas or terrorist attacks or whatever, I'm saddened by it.

I do agree that kids nowadays are often coddled too much, even well into adulthood. My parents did a big favor for me by paying for my college tuition, but I understand that they didn't have to, and now I live on my own and make my own money. Although, I don't see anything wrong with adults being supported by their parents as long as they know that it's a sacrifice and don't think that it's some kind of obligation. I have friends trying to break into the film business who are still being supported by their parents, but they try to be responsible about it.

well thats what was i actually saying earlier, but we were trying to see if theres any way we can relate to his struggles, as all of us may feel hatred at times but know of the consequences that would lie ahead. and thats where the mentally ill part or how i like to put it, crazy, comes in




and just because ur back Anita

HAH! I don't usually like Timberlake, but that photo's hilarious.

And I don't know if there's any real way to relate to someone who guns down random people. I mean, I was made fun of as a kid, I was never popular or anything, but I learned to ignore that kind of crowd since I didn't want anything to do with them anyway. I would never hurt anyone, and that's why I just don't understand people who go to such lengths to hurt others.

i dont think there really is either but i think the main point that was trying to come across is that we're all human, and so we're all capable of the same positives and negatives in a sense

Yeah - I mean, the hand held shooting-technique is designed specifically to create mass-panic. It does that effectively in Cloverfield, IMO. Along with the sound-work and the denotative camera techniques; it created a lot of panic and I genuinely felt as though I was apart of the action.

It wouldn't work in an action film because an action film wouldn't be able to create that type of panic that you feel when watching a horror flick. Also, am I the only one here who felt as though I was still watching the movie AFTER leaving the cinema? The camera method sticks to your mind like glue. As soon as I looked around outside I could just envision a building blowing up or a big monster tearing around it. That's how powerful it is.

[JaD]

and i was mentioning earlier how in certain films now when i see characters shooting other characters for no real reason i tend to think of VT for some reason (i used the Joker shooting his goons in the prologue as a small example, prob because the Joker had a Glock(ish) type of weapon too)

[CaptainClown]

I really don't think of any school shooting when I see anything like that. Did you know anybody in the shooting?

[JaD]

no but it struck pretty hard when i heard about it in class, scared the **** outta me, i had to ask the person who brought it up in class if he just said "30 people" had been killed in a shooting, it just shocked me that someone had to do that

[CaptainClown]

again; I don't know why I wasn't shocked. I am actually surprised you don't see more of it happening with the way some guys think/act.

[Mr. Superhero]

Not many people, who have a good education under their belt, think like that.

[JaD]

well with ur avy CC im not surprised u werent shocked

:woot:

[CaptainClown]

There still is a small minority that does.

[Mr. Superhero]

There still is a small minority that does.
How do you know? And why doesn't this happen more often, then?

[CaptainClown]

I think because more people are reporting suspicious activity. I did it way back when. People are paying attention to the quite guy in the back.

Also how do you not know that there isn't a minority out there; and a well educated one as you said would probably be planning it all out. I don't know thats at least what I would do.

Bullies grow on trees -- mass-murdering, psychopaths who have a fetish for killing an entire school's worth of students don't.

Also how do you not know that there isn't a minority out there; and a well educated one as you said would probably be planning it all out. I don't know thats at least what I would do.
Hey, you were the one who claimed that there are a small minority out there who wish to kill everyone in their school, quite literally. How do you know this? Did you carry out a survey or something?

[JaD]

Also how do you not know that there isn't a minority out there; and a well educated one as you said would probably be planning it all out. I don't know thats at least what I would do.

well if thats the case then yea, someone, or some people out their are outlining their "plans" right now, which would be a pretty unfortunate truth

of course there are psychos out there for sure, but what really confuses me is the NIU shooting, because that guy was well educated, and generally liked by people, and then he did what he did. in his case they're bringing anxiety/depression medications into the picture

Who is saying that mass murders are actually mass in of them self? Not everyone reported actually does anything just has suspicious activity. It would probably discourage kids from displaying signs of their frustration. Also from my experience it is mostly a cry for help and gets treated very seriously.

Also I should have said probably and it wouldn't have gotten you in such an argumentative mood; though I think you are just combing everything I say with a fine tooth come and getting ready to pounce.
I was wrong and based an assumption off ignorance; though I am not writing a thesis or turning this in so (shrug) oh well.
