DocMcCoy said:Speaking of Brian Yuzna, I haven't seen Society for a good few years now, but there's a "body-horror" classic if ever there was one. It completely blew my mind when I happened to catch it on TV one Sunday night during the mid-90s, havi…

DustedDon said:Stuart Gordon deserves a mention here. He's like a poor mans J. Carpenter, never had a big budget but made some quality HP Lovecraft like genre entry's with The Beyond, Re-Animator, Dagon etc.. You mean, From Beyond, right? The…

Ulysses31nicholas said:there can often be a comparable mood or atmosphere, ie the alienation described very acutely above. Lynch's alienation comes from surrealism I disagree. I don't think Lynch's intention is to foster a sense of alienation…

bassie said:I would add that Cronenberg's movies all have heart, they have heat...it is always just bubbling underneath the surface. It makes for amazing tension and gives depth to what would otherwise be an Atom Egoyan film. Egoyan's films are very…

DocMcCoy said: Carpenter, no contest. I like Cronenberg, but his style is very detached and his movies can seem a little emotionless sometimes. Isn't the lack of emotion intentional in a lot of his movies? It mirrors the detached, cli…

Crud, double post.

I saw John Stewart's interview with Josh Fox on the Daily Show a few weeks ago. I'm quite interested in seeing the documentary, but I'm a little reticent to do so, for fear that it might totally ruin my week (or decade?) Non, just how much of a bu…

Serious question, do avatars on a forum fall under "fair use"? I have no idea. Do any of the lawyer-types know? EDIT: I guess they could fall under another exception to copyright, but I really have no idea.

The quality of a lot of clothing has gone way, way down, too (i.e. due to the lower quality of production in China, or wherever else they're churning things out). You can still get really high quality stuff, but it often costs more than many people…

batmon said:EPIC Definitely this. It's gotten to the point where everything is now epic. Your plate of nachos was not epic.

In addition to what bassie said, I have another example: my father works for the Government of Canada, but his health coverage is still done via Sun Life Financial.

Rockadelic said:What's the current going salary in Toronto for a job where you have bottles thrown at you and then have to treat said bottle throwers with courtesy and respect?? I'm almost positive that it's a rhetorical question, but you can …

I dunno about that. In my experience, the quality of Aeropostale is much lower than say Uniqlo. Aeropostale stuff is like cardboard. Terrible.

You could also try an isolation tank, they're pretty cool, and the kind of thing that happened in Altered States occurs only rarely.

willie_fugal said:so this girl's supposed to go the rest of her life celibate even though she's beautiful? This is the question that everyone else is asking you. "I couldn???t holleur at an amputeed girl" That's messed up.

Go for it.

It wouldn't let me embed, but this is I guess what you guys might call a private mindgarden favorite: Does this fall outside the scope of what you're asking for?:

Unforgiven is a great movie; I'd recommend it above a lot of other stuff.

Though it's not really in the same genre, this thread reminded me of this one: I used to listen to this all the time, around the same time when I was big into punk/hardcore, etc. Couldn't find the flipside on Youtube, w…

This one was actually reissued on vinyl recently, so you won't have to drop a mint to get a hold of it. I'm kind of wondering if some of Suicide's stuff like "Diamonds, Fur Coat, Champagne" might work at a night like this. Might be worth…

Wow, what on earth happened to that dude's abs in the lower pic?! Reminiscent of Videodrome.

My favorites are the French rock salt and butterscotch pudding flavors, but I don't think that they're available any more.

That Set the Tone stuff is pretty great; I was not aware of it before! More Byrne-related stuff:

I feel like a lot of this stuff (especially at the fringes of the genre) has the potential to be floor-clearing if not handled just so.

The Disco Not Disco compilations might also be helpful in sussing out some key tracks, as a starting point.
