i got so many christmas presents that i totally do not deserve at all

[VangelicSurgeon]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeees! that's it. is it good?

prep have you had a chance to bust any caps in vice city yet?

 

[deadair]

vice city has now taken a back seat to THPS4 in my house...

ohhh, but it's not far from the PS2 at any given time.

carnival of souls is regarded as a minor classic for the lack of budget. i think it was actually a "lost" film for a number of years.

i didn't like it that much, but i mean, for something made with no money, and by a bunch of people that knew nothing about making movies in the early 60's, it is fairly creepy and well-done.

i recall having a minor crush on the main character.

ever since my brother and sisters had kids someone gets jipped on the presents and that would be me. just money, gift certificates and a can opener from my sister. i miss being a kid.

unfortunately my roommate has people visiting who hooked up their own video game system to the tv in the living room, so i havent been able to play yet.
i am too nice. i should make them unhook it. since it's my tv and my roommate has his own!

 

[deadair]

time to fuck shit up amanda...

I enjoyed Carnival of Souls - definitely interesting back story and good use of location. Very different for the time, too. The extras on the DVD are nice.

 

[minxnim]

seriously. they're leaving on wednesday i think though. so i guess it's okay.

 

[goatschool]

avi, you watched the criterion version? what were the extras?

i viewed the public domain cheapo edition. there's a bunch of those floating around...

 

[deadair]

WEDNESDAY!?!

that is still two more days of no Vice City... AND YOU HAVE A PS2 AND THE GAME JUST SITTING THERE.


i'm saying... stabing the necks of those freeloaders sounds pretty good right now.

 

[minxnim]

one of the people at my apartment is from BCO! they are friends with my roommate. weird!

but anyway, it's okay. i will suck it up! it'll make it all the better i guess.

the criterion copy had a couple short dece documentaries from public access tv and a great photojournal/info section about the crazy palace thingy in the desert. besides the usual cleaned up print and so forth. oh, and the trailers of course.
