The director made a point to say he filmed this without any CGI, which I respect. Can’t imagine this is going to have the same camp factor with Bruce Campbell and Raimi, though.

Tony Stewart:
Friend of mine has an office in Daytona that overlooks a go-cart track. During speed weeks a couple of years ago, he’s working late and hears all kinds of squealing from tires at the track. He looks down and there’s a Chevy SLR (? – that ugly pickup roadster with tons of power) ripping around the tiny go-cart track.
He went down to see what was going on – it was Tony Stewart. He had brought his team to the track for some fun and convinced the owner to let him take his truck onto the track.
Part of me likes Stewart and his attitude. Part of me thinks he’s just a dick.

that’s my reservation around it, will showing too much gore and more detailed violence help or hurt the movie? unless they are able to create subtext, symbolism or a narrative to the plot it’s going to be a shitty movie.
we were spoiled with the first generation of film students that came through in the late 1960′s-early 1980′s with the quality genre films they made. after that, the emulation of that first generation has serious degraded quality

This preacher gets the gay sex demon out of this guy. It is too real not to be… real.
the best part of that video was after the demon was “released” and the preacher proves that guy isn’t gay by whipping out his out dick and offering it to the guy to suck. And he doesn’t. Because he’s cured, you see.

i remember a criticism in an article about task force 121 that was charged with assissinating/capturing high value targets where an operator had a quote regarding the deck of cards somewhere along the lines of “we’ve got like 20 of the top 52 and they just keep putting new names on there…at what point are we just killing drivers and go-fors?”
October 25th, 2012 at 8:52 AM
Probably, yeah. There are maybe five horror movies total that I’ve enjoyed. Definitely not my style. That said, I’m cautiously optimistic about this on the remake scale. Director that seems to take treat this as more than a paycheck, Jane Levy in the main role (she’s pretty good on Suburgatory) and Raimi’s blessing could add up to something decent.

“Making busy work” is the worst possible analogy here, particularly when human lives are at stake, but I don’t have a better one. I do think terror groups are like drug gangs — you clip someone, someone else rises to fill the spot. Tag enough, guys, though, and you start to see incompetent replacements.

October 25th, 2012 at 9:02 AM
I cant find one horror remake from a film in that late 1960s to early 1980′s that has surpassed the orginal. and in most cases it’s something as simple as taking what was already perfect and trying to up the gore factor/creep factor by showing more of the ghoul.
recently “The Ring” versus “the Ring 2″ was a good example in American horror films, how the first one was good (not comparing to the japanese original) b/c a major part of the scare factor was leaving just enough of the terror to your imagination, the second one was shit b/c they showed you everything. Think the evolution of the Alien films… you hardly see a detailed shot of the Alien in “Alien” but by the time resurrection comes around you see the aliens swimming in great detail.
talking remakes, look at the original texas chainsaw massacre, which i think was almost a perfect horror film, and compare it to the jessica biel remake int he mid 2000′s.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:04 AM
there’s also the cynical viewpoint…
i love how the term “tier one” is thrown around all these call of duty and medal of honor video games as symbolizing eliteness. all tier refers to in the special ops arena is how much funding that unit gets…nothing to do with performance.
so…who wants to make sure their flow of $$$ is coming in? everyone, obviously, but the ninjas and xbox flyboys in this example. of course they’re going to keep putting people on a list to make sure they keep on keepin’ on. not exactly mindblowing shit here.

Would these people go back to living their lives if we just left the Middle East? Not trying to sound like Ron Paul here. I think they’ll always have a reason to kill Americans/Westerners
October 25th, 2012 at 9:12 AM
no, and im not really making a stand for or against it. but a sanctioned, growing kill list? that’s a fucked up slope to start slipping down. start with a terrorist in a country we’re at war with, then a terrorist in a country were not at war with, move to an american citizen terrorist in a country we’re not at war with…i mean, at what point are domestic civil disobedients put on this kill list?

October 25th, 2012 at 9:20 AM
Well, it depends on what you mean by going back to living their lives. They won’t be happy until the entire Middle East is ruled by Taliban style governments. We would probably be left alone for a while as the terrorists attacked the Sauds, Jordan, Iraq, etc. Once they took power though I think they would go right back to attacking the US/Europe. A lot of the truly crazy still think of the Crusades as something that happened yesterday.

i mean, at what point are domestic civil disobedients put on this kill list?
dude, there are people-hunting robots and ships with lasers already in existence. we’re headed down that slippery slope to faster than you think. however, i’m not so convinced any of that stuff has domestic intentions. right, wrong, just, or evil, we’re america and the world is our toy box for shit like this.

im not sure how a taliban-style government, an extreme example found in central asia (far removed from the middle east), is going to suddenly find itself widespread in the region.
my point was those countries were fighting against oppression. the taliban institutionally suppressed revolt thru education systems, censorship, use of force for intimidation and diplomatic isolation…my point was i just dont see “them” jumping right back into something they never were ruled by in the first place.

I’m 100% against this movie.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:34 AM
You’d be surprised. I’m reading a book now called “Forever War” about the Middle East, and its amazing how well the Taliban was received in Afghanistan. Mostly because gang warfare overran the place before that. These people are always in the middle of a conflict. They gladly traded rights for stability.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:35 AM
Well, I guess we could watch this video. Or this video. Gosh, I could go on for days. Sure seem to be a lot of theoretically innocent people getting fired or resigning…
October 25th, 2012 at 9:35 AM
i think you hit it on the head though, when you mention Friday the 13th. The original was great, one of the first really popular slasher films. same with nightmare on elm street. then they did so many of them that it became about the gore, topping the violence and turning the scary characters into predictable caricatures of what made them scary in the first place.

“The Thing” is still one of the few movies that actually scares me. the remake/prequel was so disappointing.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:37 AM
I work as a voter protection agent at the polls and I can definitely say that people getting wrongly turned away is a MUCH bigger deal than voter fraud.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:37 AM
great cop encounter just now.
driving down the road to dunkin donuts (2 lane road, double yellow line in the middle). black, tinted out SUV in front me of slows down to stop and make a left hand turn (not at an intersection, just a street).
There’s plenty of room for me to go around the black SUV, so i do.
i didn’t notice, but there was a car in front of the SUV, and the SUV wasn’t turning left, that car was.
Anyway, as i look in rear view mirror after passing the SUV, i notice the big spotlight above the driver’s rear-view mirror … cop.
I turn left almost immediately to my destination – Dunkin Donuts. Cop turns left, too. I pull into a spot. Get out, walk up to the door.
Another cop – yes, really – is holding the door for me. i say thanks. The OTHER cop from the black SUV races up to the door and says to me (my back), ‘hey, is that your car?’
me: yeah
cop: you just went around me (raising his voice so everyone in the joint turns to look), bet you didn’t know i was a cop
me: yeah, you were turning left, so i went around you
cop: no, I wasn’t turning, and you can’t do that
me: is that illegal?
cop: yeah, you can’t do that
me: oh, i thought you were turning left, i couldn’t see the car in front of you that was turning, sorry about that
cop: (kind of huffy) yeah, you can’t do that, there’s no need to be in a hurry
me: ok
my question: Why try to make a scene? If you’re going to write me a ticket, just do it. (He didn’t). I was wearing a scruffy outfit, so he probably thought i was a young punk and he was offering a “teachable moment.” i was wearing this hat, except red

and not pulled down, kind of high up (not covering my ears).
I go into the place 2x a week, they know my order. Way to be a jerk, guy.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:39 AM
didn’t realize that was that long of a story
October 25th, 2012 at 9:39 AM
I dunno, CGI is typically cheaper and saves a lot more time. Read an interview with the guy. They did 70 straight days of night shooting and consulted magicians to figure out practical ways for making an arm disappear. Just feels like they did a little more than paint by numbers is all.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:39 AM

October 25th, 2012 at 9:39 AM
I think we killed the #3 guy in the Taliban like 7 times now.
Part of this was Osama was in deep hiding and so has Mullah Mohammed Omar. The next guy had to actually run things and was taken down successively.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:40 AM
What? That comment doesn’t even begin to make sense. What we are seeing, is one activist journalist making pretty easy attempts at voter fraud and being resoundingly successful. They ARENT catching him; thats just it. He solicits advise from campaign officials, gets ballots that don’t belong to him, and no one even tries to stop him.

Also, they need to find a test to weed out cops with anger/control issues. There are far too many of them.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:40 AM
I didn’t say the guy was innocent. He’s a moron for even talking about how you could theoretically attempt fraud.
But to make the leap that this is a smoking gun that proves there is widespread voter fraud that surely will be the only reason Barack Obama could ever win is where you lose touch with reality.
It’s dumb. It’s not what happens. You’re being clowned. Sorry.

At first I was confused and was going to ask why you were wearing a Tigers hat, but now I get the point of the story is to tell us you can afford a fifty dollar beanie.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:42 AM
There is a difference between the oppression that these countries were under when it was a dictatorship run by one man/family (in the case of Syria) for years. The Taliban style is based on an offshoot of the religion that unfortunately far too many people in that region think is a good idea. The religious aspect is the big difference that most people in the US/West can’t understand unless they are Rick Santorum.

Exactly what he seemed to be trying to do. It’s funny that, “Honest mistake and it was my fault. My apologies.” means so little to people. At least he didn’t follow it with, “You getting smart, Mr. Lippy?”.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:46 AM
I never made that leap. Why do you guys who don’t like voter ID laws automatically assume that? Just like the link that CJ posted, this isn’t a partisan issue. The people in our industry work DAMN hard to make sure the equipment is secure and every ballot is counted correctly. Why can’t we start removing some of the lawbreakers from the process?
October 25th, 2012 at 9:46 AM
Again, its preferred to all-out gang warfare, which is what Afghanistan had before the Taliban took over. Their citizens are among the most uneducated people on earth. They just want stability. And its real easy to convince them that America is the devil when their friends and neighbors are getting killed by US bombs.
Again, certainly not condoning their actions. Just explaining.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:47 AM
“Okay I’ll be in compliance next time. Good day.”
I say that to anytime a cop or golf course ranger give me shit. You’re recognizing their complaint without admitting guilt. People with power get huffy. I get your were “scruffy” its more likely this dude just has beef with the world, not you.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:47 AM
Illegal maybe but EVERYONE in NY/NJ pulls around cars that are turning, even on two lane roads. The cop was just probably in a bad mood to begin with and when he saw you go around he got even more pissed and decided to flex his cop muscle.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:47 AM
He confused you for an intern driver and therefore you earned nothing.

October 25th, 2012 at 9:49 AM
well, even when a car is turning left you can’t go outside the white line to pass them on the right.
aside from that, his dashboard cam probably recorded it and if he didn’t approach you to at least warn you about the dangers he’d get heat from his superiors.
and what’t he point of wearing a beanie if it’s not over your ears? was it too small?

he had red hair, if that helps matters.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:52 AM
Just this morning I was stuck behind a car that was turning left, however there was a car in between us who wasn’t turning and was staying behind the car until it turned, so I wasnt going to pass the both of them. That’s just asking for trouble.

I would have agreed with you up until yesterday. Dumb bitch on I-70 was driving in the left lane going 70 (in a 65) clogging up traffic. Dumb bitch pulls over and she is talking her cell phone. I shake my head at her as I and fifty cars behind me pass her and she flips me off. I think cell phone use on roads by females has negated any safety improvements in vehicles.

Build Pedestrian Bridges…infrastructure money spent right there. It depends upon the area obviously, but lots of speed limits are way too low for modern cars. I tap the gas pedal on my car, and I’m going 35-40. So I should spend more money on repairing my brakes and tires b/c of antiquated speed limits?

Maybe this is one of the reasons why Kansas can’t fund its schools, but the last non-parking ticket I got was when I was a freshman in KU and went turned the wrong way on a one way street by a scholarship hall during Hawk Week (meaning I had been in town less than a week.) I turned around right away but a cop saw me. That was (does math, shit I’m old) 19 years ago. I drive 80-85 every day on I-70 to and from work for 25 minutes. I’ve had Kansas HWP pass me. I don’t speed much on city street because there are about 1100 different municipalities in the KC metro area and each seem to have different ways about enforcing the speed limits.

speaking of cops… I went for a jog this morning on the road that leads to my community and saw a cop car staked out in the parking lot entrance to our community center. I am thinking maybe he’s trying to catch people speeding because usually everybody speeds through this road (25 MPH limit). I see a few cars speed by and there is no reaction from the cop. As I come around the community center 30 minutes later I see the cop still there. I walk by and notice that the cop is asleep.

2. Created automatic reply messages for the blog email and gmail
3. Set email from the gmail and blog so they would automatically reply to each other incessantly
4. Both the blog emails and gmail forwarded to him.
5. Then created multiple blogs and multiple emails so he couldn’t block it
6. Sent over 200,000 emails to him in less than 24 hours
7. He called and apologized and we shut it down
