The War on Words or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the F-Bomb — The Bygone Bureau. Like everyone and their mother, I saw The Dark Knight this summer. I enjoyed it, but was struck by how violent it was compared to most comic book flicks. I was surprised to discover that it was rated PG-13. Now, I’m not suggesting the movie necessarily deserved an R rating, but here we have a movie in which people are stabbed, shot, blown up, set on fire, and so on and so forth. This movie is PG-13. So let’s say you take out the part where a guy gets his face set on fire, the part where a guy gets his brain impaled with a pencil, and the part with the suicide bomber.

Take those out, replace them with Batman calling someone a motherfucker and see what happens. Boom. The same principle applies to last year’s Die Hard sequel. So I ask: what the fuck? I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before you see a traumatized mother on CNN saying “He was always such a nice boy until he started saying fuck.” Is this an exclusively American thing or is everybody like this?

In conclusion: fuck. John Goodman Lebowski. Insidelightning.jpg (JPEG Image, 850x498 pixels) Greatest Films - The Best Movies in Cinematic History. Paul Haggis Renounces Church of Scientology in Blistering Letter | Movieline. The Church of Scientology has long claimed many of Hollywood's most elite talents amongst its members, but now, one famous Scientologist is leaving the church, and he's not going quietly.

In a candid, confrontational letter to Scientology top brass that's just been published online, Oscar-winning director Paul Haggis (Crash) details the abuses and cover-ups that have forced him to to leave Scientology after 35 years. It's a must-read. The letter was originally published in four parts on the blog of ex-Scientologist Marty Rathbun, and it's directed at Scientology's current national spokesman, Tommy Davis.

In it, Haggis takes Davis to task for doing nothing after the church's San Diego branch publicly sponsored the anti-gay Proposition 8. As you know, for ten months now I have been writing to ask you to make a public statement denouncing the actions of the Church of Scientology of San Diego. [...] Pages: 1 2.

Midnight Cowboy (1969) In the final sequence, Joe Buck (Jon Voight) frantically dragged ailing Ratso Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman) to a bus to sunny Florida, using the last of their money to pay the bus fare and help realize Ratso's dream. To the end, Ratso wanted to maintain his dignity and insisted on being called "En(Rico)" in Florida.

From New York and venturing southward to his dream, Ratso wet his pants and his body was wracked with pain: "Here I am goin' to Florida, my leg hurts, my butt hurts, my chest hurts, my face hurts, and if that ain't enough, I gotta pee all over myself. " During an extended rest stop in northern Florida, Joe bought new warm weather clothes for the two of them, and symbolically discarded his own 'midnight cowboy' costume/gear in a trash container. Everything we got only set us back ten and some... His rhetorical affirmations for his future fell on deaf ears. Okay, folks, everything's all right. Undead. Movies! E-mails from the dead. Death. It happens to all of us at some point, of course. Some of us go expectedly, while others pass very sudden. But no matter which way we go, death is not cheap. From hospital bills to funeral home expenses and burial fees, lots of places are vying for a piece of an estate after a loved one is gone.

Want to notify people after you've died? You can now add another industry to that list. The first question that came to my mind was, “How do these sites know that someone has died? " I am not sure about you, but I see a few problems with this service. Each site offers slightly different features and services at several different price points. Now, I know in this tough economy everyone is trying to find unique ways to make money, but is it ethical to charge the living for a service to be performed after they are dead? However, from a business perspective, if people are willing to pay for a service I suppose someone might as well provide it for them. . – Christopher Piatt, CNN Media Coordinator.

Torture.jpg (JPEG Image, 500x389 pixels) When the second half was dry, I cut it off, taped it up, taped it to the other half and papered over it a couple of times. I drew the face I wanted on the pumpkin with a marker, and then cut it out with some snips. I made sure to cut a hole in the bottom of the pumpkin so I could access the inside of it. I papered a couple of layers INSIDE the pumpkin as well. I took a 2 foot length of 14 gauge wire and poked one end of the wire through the top of the pumpkin and bent it around a couple of times so it wouldn't come out. Then I twisted some newspaper around it to make the stem.

I used some paper towels to make the wrinkles and texture. When I was satisfied with the look, I coated the whole thing with another 2 layers of latex, inside and out. I used a cup of latex and some acrylic craft paints to get the orange color and painted it with 2 thin layers. Supernatural. Dead Alive B-Movie Review. This movie is astounding! It contains multiple scenes that made me choose between revulsion and laughter, and it has a warped sense of humor that is truly inspired. If you like splatter comedy, then you must watch this film. The story begins with a zoo employee and some local assistants capturing a Sumatran Rat Monkey. Before they can egress from the primitive area that is the species' natural habitat, a horde of natives surround them. The zoo dork tries to impress the tribesmen with some official papers.

Of course, the primitives start throwing spears at the specimen-collecting party. The zoo fellow and his porters immediately run away. Not to get off track, but the world is filled with two kinds of people: those who think everything revolves around little paper documents, and those who carry spears. Despite the fact that even being scratched by a rat monkey necessitates immediate bloody amputation, the evil little creature is flown back to the New Zealand zoo. 9 Ways To Survive a Michael Myers Attack - Film School Rejects. If there is one roving menace that still haunts the world in which we live, it is the threat of possible attack from Michael Myers. There came a time when we at least knew what and when to expect such an event, bracing ourselves each All Hallow’s Eve for what seemed like an indestructible killing machine. Oftentimes we’d watch helpless as our babysitter, our teenaged sons, our fornicating friends were all shuffled off this mortal coil by the Shatner-faced villain and yet sometimes we felt the bravery to fight back.

Now, we can’t even be sure when he’ll attack since he’s sneaking up on us at the end of August instead of waiting until the end of October. He’s getting sneakier, and that means we have to become even smarter. 9. As we learned in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, a fire extinguisher is not just for putting out fires. 8.

Final Destination 4, a.k.a. Probably Not, Strictly Speaking, the Actual Final Destination – we've grown nostalgic for all the tremendously awesome kills of chapters gone by… kills so inventive, so hilariously gruesome and wildly imaginative that they make the Saw film seem like a macabre stroll through the aisles of Home Depot. To celebrate our love for Death's elaborate efforts to kill our unfortunately lucky survivors, we've decided to offer up five of our favorite Final Destination kills. We won't wander into spoiler territory here – at least not for the upcoming fourth film (which we can assure you delivers its own fair share of satisfying eviscerations) – but if you've not seen any or all of the first three films, watch out for some bloody, gore-covered spoilers. Then again, if you're at all surprised that most of the cast of a Final Destination movie won't make it out alive, maybe the series ain't for you.

Mister Sandman - Supinfocom Short - 2007 - une vidéo Art et Création. Spider Gates Cemetery, Friends Cemetery, Leicester. I initially investigated Spider Gates with Gary Boston on November 17, 2001, a crisp, clear autumn morning. First, the cemetery was hard to find and we did quite a bit of driving around, feeling puzzled. The road maps and topographical maps show Earle Street to be a public throughway, not a narrow gated private dirt road. It took a while to sort all this out.

The cemetery is in the woods between the Worcester Airport and the Leicester Landfill. Earle Street is several hundred feet up Manville Street from the landfill entrance. Elliot Hill Burial Ground Where Earle Street crosses Manville Street it becomes an even less-traveled dirt road. Tweet From Below: Anonymous Twitter Posting, Tweet Anonymously, No Account Required.

The 25 Creepiest Horror Movie Posters | Gunaxin. With the Fall season rapidly approaching, and the Horror Movie Season starting tomorrow with Rob Zombie’s Halloween 2 , I thought this a perfect time to take a look at one of the most prolific, collectible, and shocking pieces of media that always goes hand in hand with the films themselves: Movie Posters. And in no film genre are the posters more abundant and often strikingly beautiful, while at the same time ferociously chilling, than Horror. When a company wants to one-up either themselves or the last company’s artistic attempt to scare someone, they roll out the most hideous and unrelenting pieces of art imaginable.

But there are limits, at least to what you’re able to show the pubic in theaters. But that doesn’t mean envelopes can’t be pushed. I think what shocks the most about this poster is both the butcher knife in the baby doll’s back, and the empty-eyed mask at the bottom of the grocery bag. This movie is absolutely revolting in a couple of parts.
