Watched the Evil Dead remake today, it was decent but a victim of its own hype. I'm think maybe a 7/10 but possibly over time once the hype is no longer affecting repeat viewings, I would probably lean closer to an 8.

why is Uwe Boll still allowed anywhere near a film camera?

Until the law was changed in 2005, Boll was able to acquire funding for his movies thanks to German tax laws that reward investments in film. The law allowed investors in German-owned films to write off 100% of their investment as a tax deduction; it also allowed them to invest borrowed money and write off any fees associated with the loan. The investor was then only required to pay taxes on the profits made by the movie; if the movie loses money, the investor would get a tax writeoff.

In the DVD commentary of Alone in the Dark, Boll explains how he funds his films: "Maybe you know it but it's not so easy to finance movies in total. And the reason I am able to do these kind of movies is I have a tax shelter fund in Germany, and if you invest in a movie in Germany you get basically fifty percent back from the government."

I used to play "some pong console" at my cousins place when I was like 6-8 years old.

I give the longer edited version a 8/10 for being the better film and the original edit a 7/10 for being what was pretty extreme in 1985...i find i keep mixing up the two edits of the film in my head though and it has been a long time since i saw the edited version due to no one wanting to see the one with the gore cut out.

I used to have two copies of this on VHS... one was R-Rated and the other was M-rated. I'm assuming the M-rated was the edited version but I really don't recall them.

The hoes are in this thread above me.

If I'm in range of a vagina I can make my peepee disappear.

I'm sure Giddins has a vag, you can demonstrate on him.

I actually like the beginning where he keeps breaking the pencils rather than the cunnilingus scene. It's somewhere close to an 8/10 for me... maybe 7.5 like L-Face gave it.

Don't be so generous.

I'm surprised that the N64 died on you... most of those cartridge-based systems were tough as fuck.

To be accurate, it should hit 8.

Yeah, 8p. The p has a double meaning... pages on the forum and pixel length.

I currently just own the basics... PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii.

I may need to buy that.

They're currently out of print but they may be back... someday.

I currently work for a company that has a few online retailing websites and have since learned a LOT about the competitive world of websites and internet marketing wars that these places engage in and it's pretty much made me realise that this website needs to focus on being more of a club rather than trying to be some commercial site trying to compete with the other big names. We all know each other reasonably well and know whose opinions we can value when it comes to reviews and such rather than relying on some random douche posting his thoughts. Can a I trust a review on Bloody-Disgusting when I know nothing about the reviewer? Don't think so. Our regulars probably know as much about each other as anyone can on a forum without having met each other in the flesh. We're not (and never really have been) bound by forum rules, which I think allows people to see what we're really like and connect with us. The site will be more about catering to our regulars rather than a general audience. While we won't get new members FLOCKING to us with this direction, we will get some over time which I will only consider a bonus. If a new member can't handle us, fuck 'em.

I will certainly add things to the website over time to make it more interesting, but they won't come too fast. Hopefully in the coming months I'll have reviews available. I am taking a few weeks off work late in May so there is potential for me to speed up the process.

I (and maybe others) has or has to come to terms with me no longer being able to spend 5+ hours per day working on this website like I used to. The daily grind hits hard. I started this website when I was a teenager... I'm turning 30 next February. It's just not an option anymore to replicate how fast the updates would come with the website when it was younger. There's so much more to worry about as you get older... family, health, money etc and it just reduces the amount of time available to invest in other things such as this. I'm happy to keep it going, no matter if we're getting 1,000 posts per month or if it's only 100 posts per month.

Looks like the original DOA but I haven't played that since like the 90's... I think.

Yeah, it is that one... for anyone wondering what it looks like:

I used to play it on the SEGA Master System.
