Ah come on, it's gotta be better than "The Fast And The Furious".

Indeed. "Twilight" too. Or anything by Michael Bay. Also, "Battleship". There are a lot of really bad movies out there. Those that are intentionally bad (or so cheap they have no choice) are seldom as bad as those that aren't.

Honestly though, I watched "The Human Centipede" completely innocent. I saw it on Netflix instant watch and having no idea what it was about decided to watch it. I literally thought the movie would be about a human with a really long torso with many arms and legs. I was wrong but it really wasn't awful. The premise is disgusting sure but it is actually quite tame compared to some horror movies.

Oh God "Twilight" films are utterly laughable. I know Michael Bay's name but I cannot name anything by him without actually repeating what the rest of you already said

"Human Centipede" seems to be causing such an uproar due to the nature of the film, which doesn't shock me in the least. As a lifelong horror fan with an active imagination, I can honestly say I've come up with ideas just as vile as this on a regular basis.

The TMNT thing is as outlandish as the JPIV ideas we all laughed about. I agree that you can't mess with origins when it comes to stuff like this. I would love a semi-serious live action Turtles film where they stick to the legacy.

Regarding famous people, I've met so many I couldn't count them. It's not hard to meet them, though it's not like the ones I have met are as famous as Madonna, Ringo Starr, etc. either.

Twilight books sucked too. The whole franchise is pretty laughable to be honest

I can't get past the fact that a 100+ year old vampire still attends high school and falls in love with a 17 year old. I'm 28 and I don't want to hang out with high schoolers, I cannot imagine doing it when I'm over 100.

[CityRaptor]

Well, Vampires seem to have a thing for younger women.  I mean, just think about how much Dracula was older than Mina Harker...that and Edward is probably bad at school...very bad!

[Metallisuchus]

Just the idea of a 100+ year old vampire attending high school in America sounds hokey, as if it were some SNL-spawned comedy or something.

Yup. Not quite the same thing as Dracula lusting after a young woman's blood. I should note however that I've never actually watched Twilight and I don't really intend to.

[CityRaptor]

Well, Dracula still lusts after young women. So did Angel in Buffy.

Also anyone else misses the time when Twilight was not associated with sparkly Vampires or purple Unicorns...or sparkling purple vampiric Unicorns.

Uh....Dracula is a straight up horror novel. Twilight is a (bad) romance novel with vampires thrown in.  I think you could take away the supernatural elements from Twilight and the story would still stand by itself. Yes Dracula is suave and able to seduce young women (at least when he gets his youth back) but it is only really for his own purposes.

Also regarding Edward Cullen

[CityRaptor]

Without the fantasy elements it would be about an abusive relationship. Atleast I read somewhere that it fits all criteria.

Ecchh!  So, in-between watching NFL games this Sunday, I occasionally switched over to the Discovery Channel, which apparently was airing a marathon of  their show "Yukon Men".  Just in the time I was watching there in between commercials from football action, I saw them: kill a wolf, track down and kill a hibernating bear, kill a trapped beaver, and kill a trapped lynx.  The  smaller animals were killed with clubbing, as to not ruin the skull and pelt.  FYI.

[CityRaptor]

Aside from the being a case of humans being the true monsters, wouldn't clubbing ruin the skull?

I am thinking about getting the CollectA Concavenator, but I wanna know how big it is compared to other figures. Could someone post a comparison of it, with, say, a Carnegie or Papo figure?

I am not interested in the Carnegie Concavenator, and I want a depiction of this theropod for my collection.

Why not just buy a CollectA Concavenator? It's very nice.

Its not that big of a figure. But i found it to be a good one

Its also the very first figure that i ever reviewd

[tyrantqueen]

Thanks Gwangi for the photo. I'm a bit disappointed by the size to be honest, I wished it was bigger. Oh well.

Yes, it is very small. I didn't even know how small it was until I received it. It has its flaws but it is a pretty good figure anyway. Personally I think the Carnegie model blows it out of the water though.

I've been watched SyFy's Paranormal Witness on telly lately. Fun to watch and scary. Although the acting in the reconstructions is a bit cheesy at times.
What have you guys been watching?

And Takama, since you're a fan of scary stuff, you might wanna check Paranormal Witness out, it would be right up your alley. Just don't watch it late at night

[Takama]

Telivison wise. I have been watching Spongebob,   want to know why?   Its because of this

[Gwangi]

I've been watching "Breaking Bad", I'm currently on season five. I've also on season 2 of "Hell on Wheels", season 7 of "Dexter", season 7 of "Weeds" and looking forward to season 3 of "The Walking Dead" as well as season 3 of "Game of Thrones."
