Me too

The horrible truth is that the most horrible pop songs make for the best night on the dancefloor...

I havnt heard their latest album, but the reviews i've got from people i trust says it sucked. Favourite song is difficult, probably non-stop violence or Burning heretic. Favourite album must be either Soli Deo Gloria or The Apopcalyptic Manifesto - cant make up my mind there either.

Yes, I can tell.

Their most recent CD took me a couple weeks to start to like. Its not as addictive as the other CD's theyve made, though. I liked about 3 tracks on the CD. The rest werent awful, but they werent anything to phone home about.

Another ApB song I forgot to mention was Spiritual Reality. I liked that song a lot aswell. If you like ApB, you should look into Spahn Ranch too, especially their CD called Beat Noir. Good stuff.

I dont exactly love them, but i will look up Spahn Ranch if I get the chance.

Now I feel its time we stop hijacking the thread for music discussions.

OK then-back to the topic, I guess.

I know I should hate the Sega Genisis because its so outdated, but the games for it are classics. I still play sonic the hedgehog now and again along with an F1 racing simulation on the Genisis, and I have great fun playing it.

This one is so terrifying that I can't bring myself to post it visibly... I actually think MmmBop by Hanson is a great pop song.

OMG! I forgot about The Jungle Book. I can't stand any other Disney movies but I'm a sucker for that one.

For shame, Georgi, for shame.

Staying on the Disney subject

Snow Dogs, I generally avoid movies which has a Disney logo on/in or associated with it, but this one is just so cool, well ok not cool just funny.

I must admit to jumping to "Jump around" on several occasions in my youf. There is nowt wrong with liking Method Man or Wu Tang, they aren't really in the same category as others...they seem to have talent

Plus i wonder if fable would even know whom we are talking about

Tamerlane · Post by **Tamerlane** » Wed Jul 24, 2002 3:14 am

*Sigh*

I have a whole collection of those rap albums, all collecting dust now. From the really early stuff (NWA) to the mid 90's (Naughty by Nature) to the whole East Coast, West Coast rubbish. I never did consider myself to be an angry person in my youth, but I guess thats the impression that was portrayed

Call yourself liberal, open-minded and willing to experiment if you will @CE, but Cypress Hill are just ****. They make extremely bad music indeed, I can say no more. Wu Tang are difficult to judge, the quality of their output being so varying, but I can safely say that Snoop Dogg is also appalingly bad.

@Silur, Total Recall is considered a great classic by many (IIRC wasn't that a PKD book adaptation too?), and although Last Action Hero was hammered by critics when it came out it now frequently gets five star ratings...

BTW - Ooooh can't wait for True Lies 2!

Oh sure, so he got out the Crayola and coloured himself white just so that he'd have a head-start in record sales?

Oh...I loved the Lion King. The only thing that spoiled it in the cinema for me was this 18-year old girl sitting next to me who cried when that $£*! Mufasa finally copped it...

Don't be ashamed - I confessed to the Teletubbies, and that's far worse...but yes, I still like Mmm-bop

EDIT - I agree with frogus - Totall Recall is a classic, but I love so many other Arnie films...erk and Jean-Claude Van Damme has made some decent action flicks too, dare I say it...

Ahem....

....I'm a sucker for ANY Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker films (like "Top Secret", "Airplane!", ....) and I liked "Wild Wild West".

No worries,

Beldin

Kameleon · Post by **Kameleon** » Wed Jul 24, 2002 8:45 am

Hmmm...Airplane! is considered a classic, is it not? Haven't seen any other ZZA movies...Wild Wild West, while not being the greatest movie Hollywood has ever produced, wasn't all that bad...not of Battleship Earth standard by any means. Entertaining to see once, if only so that you know what the fuss was about...

Wild, Wild West wasn't a Zucker film, as I recall.

While I dont watch Sesame Street anymore, I do have a place in my heart for the characters. Same thing with the Muppets, they are as classic as Sesame Street

As far as Disney is concerned: The only movie I liked from them has been the Lion King. Everything else turns a supposed-to-be-sad-ending and turns it into a happy ending, and I dont really like that.

The Lion King series was great. In grade 8 our teacher made us watch it

. Supposedly the subject was Career and Personal Planning. She had us find symbolical meanings in it. Heh........they were good days.......

Tybaltus · Post by **Tybaltus** » Wed Jul 24, 2002 10:12 am

@The Z-In my grade 12 Dictators class, we watched movies such as The Fight Club, Office Space, and Life to demonstrate Dictators in the media. It was fun to watch such movies in school

No, Dr Dre probably thought up the plan and then went out looking for a young white guy to turn into his protege...

Wasn't me

I was only 14 when it came out I think...

Yay! Go MmmBop!

@Tybby But Jungle Book's ending is actually kind of sad, I think...

I wouldnt know, Ive never seen the Jungle Book.

@Sleepy Jump Around rules!

Thats a good song. After House of Pain broke up, Everlast made a song that I liked a lot. Dont remember the title, though.
