Quote fromSpidey 1 = good. 2 & 3 = ruined #1.
Gotta disagree here. I personally loved Spidey 1 and 2. 3 was just plain garbage though.
Quote fromHorror movies really just don't hit it home anymore like they use to. They're boring now for me unless they encorporate other aspects into it other than the cheap screams. Example would be the movie 23. While I wouldn't consider it much of a horror movie, it was somewhat scarey but interesting at the same time. It wasn't because I wanted to see Jim Carey, I wanted to see what the overall concept was about, the number 23 (although, I didn't see this one in the theaters, I watched the DVD).
Well, Jim Carrey has pretty much run his course in terms of watchability (is that even a word? Cause if it isn't, I call copyright on making it up!:p) I agree with you that horror movies have pretty much been done to death (really, how many ways can you come up with that a: get by censors and b: kills someone? Pretty soon we'll see a horror movie about a serial killer who kills his victims by pissing on them:eyebrow:)
Quote fromSo no, Hollywood has not run out of creativity.
Again, I'll point out that there are serious talks about making movie versions of Monopoly and The Sims. And I have proof here and here
So you tell me, has Hollywood run out of creativity? Monopoly: The Movie + The Sims: The Movie = Hell yes. Now, is that really a bad thing? Eh, depends. As for me, as long as they keep churning out Bond movies and Marvel movies, I'll be happy. At least, as long as the Bond movies aren't like The World is not Enough and the Marvel movies aren't like Fantastic Four (how in the HELL did that get a sequel anyway!?)
Well there kinda is. I work with stage productions here. Plus the president of the nation's fight choreographer's union is located here in town, so there's that too. Want to leave Denver for a couple reasons: 1) the theatres here are kinda inclusive. They like to hire crews from within their little cliques and it's hard to bust into the business. Plus Chicago is the home for comedy performances. Second City, Steppenwolf, etc. are all in Chicago. It's a good place to go IMO.
Nice story. I would never expect anyone to play conservatively and get 4th. Usually conservative play is like hanging a huge blinking light with "Call everything I have". I got the opposite problem though. I see what I have and if it's anything to do with a face card I'm very aggressive. Still a n00b at poker
Dammit, and I was all set to start the Dance of Joy.
Why yes, I have two. I've heard tell that some people have three, but that's too many for me.
Neither, really. I do have skype though. thanosisking (name taken after I started reading comic heavily. as if you couldn't tell)
None really. But that's only cause I cube. Cosmically baby! (see what I did there?:p)
Nah. I think we gotta add more. Like until we have 42.
Nope. That's my brother's domain.
Because it's been so laid-back for so long. That and just about everybody in this clan is known across the site. And because my old clan is gone.
Because I can add A LOT to the discussion. Seriously, I was having to hold back in discussions when I was in the GA cause I didn't want to dominate conversations. I always have something to say.
I visit the site multiple times a day, and as I said above I have skype that I usually keep open. I'm in contact pretty much all the time I'm awake. It hasn't been too healthy but I've managed.
Now I don't want this held against me, but there's a chance that I might communicate a little less over the summer. Got a shot at work in a reperatory theatre on the other side of the state. Rep means points toward AEA membership means I would finally have a career! Not close to official yet but just wanna give heads-up.
Oh, and
Last I checked LuckNorris isn't Scaramanga. Though that would be awesome.
Yeah, I miss it too. I think it got pretty bad soon after Wizards decided to stop publishing books for every expansion.
Ah that we do. Though time has done the same to my memory. I guess I could get refreshed by going through the GA archives but...well...I just don't wanna.
All righty. I'm 26, graduated from college with a BA in theatre, and support myself as best I can working as a freelance stage manager and fight director. Which means that I can make violence look VERY cool on stage. I'm trying to build my resume up so that I can afford to move to Chicago (I live in Denver for the time being). I love offbeat movies (The Artist is one that I HAVE to see soon). As for MTG I try to keep up with the news and new cards as much as I can, but since most rehearsals take place at night I don't get a lot of time for tournaments. I get to attend maybe one or two drafts a month. Love football and baseball. Guess what my favorite teams are. If you don't look at my sig or avvy it's +5 points.
Living in Denver is insufferable. Man I hate Tebow. Not the man per se, but I can't stand all the attention and hype he's getting. The Pats have one of the worst defenses in the league and Tebow couldn't do anything against them. The guy's mediocre at best.
tl;dr: Girlfriend's temp job that she doesn't much like is up soon and she's worrying about what to do. Should she stay with a job that's a 45 minute drive away and has her on a split shift, or should she go and make job-hunting her full-time job?
I am 26, she is 23
This girl isn't that kind of person. She's kinda reserved, doesn't have a lot of male friends, and while I find her cute, I don't think a lot of other people would. She is young though.
On the other hand, I would have LOVED to see Orton be picked up by the Bears, just to see another screwup by the Donkeys. In that case, the Bears could say they got Cutler for nothing.:p
CtC
We could always use more members, but I don't remember if there's a recruiting freeze or something during a closure. You know, to prevent people from joining just to save a clan and then leave after said clan's back running.
I haven't been playing a whole lot of Innistrad, but from what I have seen it's pretty good. What's surprising to me is that for all the hype that the DFCs got I haven't seen many being played (outside of the Waif). Too busy with work and all to be going to tourneys. Haven't had a night off in forever.
There are jobs open in the US now, but nothing that I've been able to nail down beyond these shows of mine. I consider myself lucky that I've gotten good enough that I always have a show to work on, but the pay sucks balls. And working 2 shows at once has made me SO busy that I have had to pretty much stop looking for a day job in order to get everything done for these shows.
I honestly doubt we'll get back to 6 members. We've got 2 members modding the Rumor Mill, which takes up A LOT of their free time. Shady hasn't been seen in over, what, a year and a half because of his military job. I don't really have a lot to say other than "I have yet another show". All good things must end. Just like I'm sure that one day The Called will shut down, so will we I believe. I knew the day was coming fast when we stopped participating in the Clan Contests. We ALWAYS used to do that, and did extremely well. It does make me sad.
I think that once the end of the month rolls around, The Called will be the only clan left from the MTGNews days. GA is the only other one.
Well, it's been a great run. You've all been a load of fun, and I'll miss you. The GA has been for a long time the only reason I've been coming back to Salvation. I don't see any reason for being here once the GA closes.
I'd have posted but I've been swamped. I'm running one play and rehearsing another. That and trying to find a job and a car is taking up pretty much all of my time right now. Other than that, same old crap.
Actually, quite the opposite. I've managed to go from amorous to friend-zoned in the span of a week.:gonk: One day she's calling me "too good to be true", the next she "doesn't have romantic feelings" for me.:confused: Ah well, whatever. I've moved on. I'll have to file away the dolmades idea though.:D
