on another note yes I watched classic horror movies recently. Some of them are better than the stuff that's come out recent.

That's because the newer ones are usually not scary...just graphic.

Actually the newer ones are actually scary, most of them, like the Unborn and The Strangers, screw with your mind.

The newer horror movies for the most part rely on special effects and graphics that were not possible a generation ago, however the stories are lacking and susspence seems to be a lost art. A grotesquely deformed human  in a movie will make your skin crawl but it doesn't make a good movie. In a few years no one will remember newer horror flicls but 30 years later we might still remember the Omen or the Exorcist, not to mention the Shinning.

I'm not sure if you've heard but there's going to be a remake of Child's Play . Unlike most of the remakes that are coming out now, there is a good reason for this remake to be released. The reason being because after relizing that too much comedic elements ruined Seed of Chucky, Don Mancini wanted to reboot the series in order to bring it back to it's roots.

Freddy vs Jason was the suck due to it not keeping it's overall feel.  Very low drugs and bewbs in it.  Now, this new Friday the 13th...yeah, feeling like it's the 80's all over again

I still place Event Horizon, The Shining and Exit to Eden near the top for my 'scary movie list'.  That and ANYTHING that the 'bad guy' is an insect.  That goes to the point of refusing to see Bee Movie even...beyond it's retardedness.  Hebegeebies I hate bugs.

My point exactly. The old Psycho had me on the edge of my seat.

So I take it you don't like fighting against the Thalans?

Do you remember "Them" ?

Well that was pretty scarry..  with Jerry Seinfeld doing the voice of the bee .

All time bests were The Blob and Invasion of the Body Snathchers. (the original of course).

The Pink Blob of Doom affect itself is harsh, ground combat against them....yeah, I send in underlings vs them, I don't leave the ship.

As for Them, ginormous bugs aren't too bad.  It's moreso the small ones that freak me out.  I'm looking at you SciFi and you're "Black Swarm" & "Deadly Swarm" movies....~cringes~

My back yard has too many (more than 0 is too many) flowers in it due to my wife.  Heck, the friggin clove and dandylions are too much.  Friggin bees all over the place during the spring/summer.  No wonder I love winter soo much.  I literally freak out and get shivvers over seeing a bee around me.

My wife is afraid of zombies.  She's never seen a 'fast zombie' movie to even begin to give good reason.  All her zombies have been the feet shufflers.  WHY be afraid of something you can run circles around doing a crab-walk?  And heck, they aren't even REAL....bees are REAL!!!!

So, right now we got 3 votes for DSep, 1 vote for Emp Seth and 3 write-in votes for WillTheMailBoy.

Hrm, seems I'm a senator in the Kzin...shal I tip the scales and put someone in the lead, or toss a bone to Seth?

In a totally unrelated note, I'm proud to announce the formation of the "Give What You Don't Use Anyway Foundation".  We accept literally anything, however auls(souls), warm bodies and checks made out to the tresurer's name (Cash) are preferred.

On a related note to the esteemed Loupdinour's last announcement I propose that the Senate allow minor races admittance to the Senate gallery.  Especially those tasty Snathi...

What about the majors, who have been responsible? I say let the minors fail!

I was thinking that we just invite them, not pay them to come.  Jeez, I'm not hungry enough to pay for my mea...er, to ensure every voice is heard.

Dog-gone it, we had them barking up the wrong tree.  Should've let sleeping dogs lie, Loup.
