Random Bullshit / Re: ECHO... Echo... echo...

Last post by Shadow - June 30, 2022, 01:37:21 PM

My friends and I used to go out all the time... camping, hiking, bar, etc. Met plenty of new people and girls that way but over the years (especially after lockdowns) all they really want to do now is go out to eat just ourselves. And then they wonder why everyone but me is getting fat.

The last couple of years of bullshit really did seem to have done quite a number on most people.

Nope.

Picking up now at least? Sounds like you are getting a bit more motivated with the site... hobbies are always a good morale boost.

That shit's gonna change real soon. I am working on a new site, and yes, actually spending hours everyday on it. With the help of Jiggy, I'm bringing this site back to, hopefully, some of its former glory.

Honestly I'm surprised that you've kept the site around for as long as you have... most people would have just closed up shop long ago. I definitely appreciate the tenacity. Were you planning a complete revamp of the site, or something more along the same vein but with a facelift?

So did you ever narrow down what the issue may be, Chuke?

Nope.

I'm doing the same old, same old- same old job, tons more hours. Kind of the opposite of you guys. Too few people capable of doing what we do effectively and efficiently, so the extra work just gets piled on to the few of us that are around... and even more work on the way, too. It's nice for the bank account but absolutely terrible for the social life. And that doesn't even take into account that the next semester of school hasn't even started up yet.

Seems to be chronic ongoing issue with me... workaholic I guess. If I'm not keeping myself busy I go stir-crazy. Shouldn't really let that be an excuse to get out and socialize... but I'm not necessarily the most social guy in the first place. Compound that with if I don't have direct plans with my friends or some kind of "mission" in mind, I tend to not bother going out at all. Doesn't help that most of the chicks nowadays seem to be nut-jobbier than usual...

Yes, bitches be crazy these days. I'm glad I got married young because I can't imagine trying to date or socialise with new people given the current social climate. I can't even go on YouTube anymore without being bombarded with hardcore feminist and/or MGTOW content. It's like everyone hates everyone now.

I'd really like to interact more around here but it seems like every time I check in nothing gets posted... so over time it simply starts to slip my mind all over again.

Damn I think I joined this site when I was 14, I'm 31 now. That was over half my life ago. I'm almost as old as De was when I first joined. 😂

Jeez, I'm right there with you.

Texas Chainsaw 3D (2013)

Honestly, while there are some problems with this film, I had an okay time. It's below average, but it probably ties as my third favorite movie in the franchise. 6/10.

While plenty of people turn their nose up at it, I actually enjoy that one to some degree. And seeing some Alexandra Daddario bouncing titty action is always going to enhance any flick.

My big issue is the timeline doesn't make sense. The beginning shootout takes place September 1973. Does Daddario look 39 in this movie? 

Gore was pretty solid, though, and like I said, it probably ties with the 2003 remake and In the Beginning as my third favorite in the series.

The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959)

I slightly prefer the 1939 Rathbone version, but this is a rather solid film too, and in color. My one issue is that, as much as I love Christopher Lee, I don't think he's the right guy for the role of Henry Baskerville. Still a quality rendition of the movie. 8/10.

I'm glad to see that something I posted back in 2013 is still getting some action. 

I agree with what was said there, Jason, I think I watched The Visit when it hit home video but it's been completely forgettable for me. As for It Follows, yes, that is a good one. I saw it in a small theatre back when it came out, as it did not get a wide release here in Australia, and I remember sitting through quite a few hair raising moments, I still remember that cinema experience even to this very day.

Btw, where did you pop out from?

I enjoyed The Visit enough, but I do agree that It Follows does it better.

Definitely agree with Midsommar, The Void, and Train to Busan.

Still haven't taken the time to watch The Wailing, though everything I've heard has been positive, so I'm looking forward to seeing it.

A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child (1989)

Always thought that this was the worst of the series. No idea what's going on, and it's just overall drab. Horrible kills, too. While Freddy's Dead is flawed, at least it's entertaining, and I don't believe this one really is. 5/10.


The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1994)

Known also as Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (which I admit is a better title), this honestly wasn't terrible until the last twenty or so minutes. I mean, it wasn't good before that, but that drop in quality was astonishing. Renée Zellweger did well, but otherwise, this movie isn't much my cup of tea, though still better than the second movie. 5.5/10.
