geez. Don Adams is super old and I think Curzan is too. What the hell do they do. Also IIRC Wischuk rocks a bow tie every day. Never trust a guy with a bowtie. Perla is a weirdo too.

Also I'm pretty sure those dudes do not claim to be anointed (at least not right now) so they probably won't be on the GB.

i was a bethelite for some time a couple of years ago.

some of the best days for bethelites were when there was ice cream for dessert.

now, they are asking (new release video at conventions) kids to give away ice creams money... for what?

Barrold Bonds

Those sisters were brutal, man.

Also "glean" is one of those words that is way over used at bethel. i hated it.

MAD MAX FURY ROAD

i went to see the new mad max movie last night: "fury road.".

this post-apocalyptic world is not recycled gray, it is blazingly colorful australian desert terrain with wide shots that will stop your heart.have you ever seen an heironymous bosch painting of hell with its where's waldo panoply of brutish, demonic, figures inflicting torments willy-nilly as far as the eye can see?

well, fury road makes bosch look like a knit-one-purl-two doily maker at a sunday brunch.. director miller has thought about this movie, planned it, sketched it, worked it, perfected it millisecond by millisecond before scene one was ever shot.one second of onscreen activity has more interesting business happening than two hours spent by a voyeur in a nudist colony of playboy bunnies.. what is watching this film all about?

This movie was in development FOREVER. In fact, it was in development so long, Mel was originally going to return as the titular character. Unfortunately he went nuts so those plans were scrapped.

Oh yeah man. I remember the CO coming around ranting about them. He made it pretty fucking clear you shouldn't use social networks.

wt.

12-15-66: investigating house and household objectsone under demon attack should calmly, not in hysteria, investigate his house and household articles.

in some few cases the house may be the cause of trouble and the best thing to do is move out.

Isn't this stuff technically still 'doctrine?'

This movie is rad. Easily the best action movie since Terminator 2.

I was surprised to see a LOTR comparison. All 6 of those movies are super long and drawn out slog fests broken up by some OK action sequences. Everything in Fury Road is tight and the action sequences are used to tell the story not just to have action for its own sake.

John Carpenter's "THEY LIVE!"

so i'm catching up on r rated movies that i missed when i was younger.

"they live!

" was on the el rey network the other day so decided to watch it.. it was kind of eerie watching this being a fader.. here's a guy living under a controlling regime of elites and only he can see the control measures for what they are.

Barrold Bonds

yeah the remake isn't very good. part of it is because back in the 70's, Manhattan was a total shithole so the dirt and grime really adds to the atmosphere. I love movies that take place in this era because of this.

When you get time, I'm sure you can find a list of classic American New Wave films. Definitely watch as many of those as you can find.

Yes Scanners is an amazing movie but please don't watch sequels.

Phase IV is an interesting if only to see Saul Bass' only feature film.

The Robert Wise adaptation of Andromeda Strain is pretty good (much better than the recent A&E version)
