I'm psyched to see this thread!  I just started playin DR1 AGAIN and was wonderin' about the second one...I really hate the save system and the controls can be wonky, but I do love the game.  if anyone wants to hit me up on Live I'm DEMONCAMEL.

Sorry I'm a little late in responding to this, but I also have a single volume collection of the first three Mike Hammer novels.  They're interesting, and I'm sure they were shocking for their time, but nowadays they seem kind of quaint.  I feel the same way about Ian Fleming's James Bond novels.

BTW, did you ever see the movie version of "I, the Jury," with Armande Assante, which was released in the early 80s?  I really liked that movie. 

old picture, old bike. vintage racing....as my friend Pete said,"No brakes, no power, you gotta love it!"

kat

Got Afrodisiac and it's hilarious, but did not get a chance to pick up the Rambo mini. I actually just looked it up and it's free online...seems like it's gonna be great!

Hey guys!

Yeah, Jim is a King, I'm constantly blown away by his stuff.

Has anyone of you read AFRODISIAC? It's totally crazy, retro Blaxploitation stuff done right. All in the vein of satire of course.

Sunny, did you also get his RAMBO Mini there?

Awesome dude and really cool stuff. Met him at Baltimore Comic Con and got him to sign some of his work!

Wow!  His stuff is great!

Jim Rugg, Pittttsburger artist and all around 50's trash Comic afficionado has put together a tumblr and the work there seems rightly suited for us cat's and catclaws: Check it!

JIM RUGG! Turbines to power!

YAY!

You must be joking:(:(:(.....just finished reading about Gary Moore passing away.....RIP to a great lady of rock :(:(

She passed away yesterday , the same date Lux Interior passed away. 

Played some more DEAD SPACE and got to sit down for a loooong stretch with CASTLEVANIA: LORDS OF SHADOW. It's pretty great and the creatures look fab.

Brilliant!

I fell to sleep watching 8 Mile (Eminem)...and any movie with J-LO...hate her guts :):)

The following are films that, in my humble and infallible (ha!) opinion are so bad that they will make the devout question divine existence and make a heathen cry tears of blood. At least that is the effect that they had on me.

EYES WIDE SHUT---Keep in mind I normally love Kubrick but my god....MEIN GOTT...drecky, stupid, boring. B-O-R-I-N-G. Seeing Nicole Kidman act "Drunk" seriously made me feel violent. 15 years olds getting their first Boone's buzz do not act that badly. Gah.

DEBBIE DOES DALLAS---Okay there were adult films from this era that were actually good films. Quality movies that happened to have explicit action. DDD was not one of them. Bad music, actresses that look bored, shamefaced and with our lead heroine, bullgoose looney and some dudes whose junk look like they needed a fresh bar of Lava soap...it's all bad.There are rings of Hell where the only porn available is this crap. It suckkkkksssss.

THE AMITYVILLE HORROR remake---I had to review this puppy and the one positive thing I can say is that it gave me a newfound appreciation for the original. Which I was never a big fan of anyways, but it looks marvelous in comparison.

BEVERLY HILLS VAMP---I love me some B movies. In fact a good chunk of my writing career revolves around reviewing cult films. So my tolerance is higher than the average bear. But despite having a cute beginning and some pretty spiffy intro and end credits, this film beyond sucks. It's embarrassing and seeing the late, great Robert Quarry having to be in it is just sad. Granted some work is better than no work and he's predictably awesome in it, but the man deserved WAY better than this. Though I will give some minor kudos for having Michelle Bauer and Eddie Deezen in it. And again, they deserved better too.

I was pretty disappointed by Atom Age Vampire, I had high hopes because of Balzac...

I dig those cheap collections of old public domain horror flicks, but there's also a good percentage of unwatchable crap on them

Charlie's Angels II: Full Throttle!

NOW....we all know the '80s was pitiful fo' many things...but in these daze I was cruisin' on my beloved '61 BSA in N.Y.C.! So, being I was asked to join this here group, I thought I would put up one of the few survivin' pictures of my baby...

ps...if anyone has a rigid frame English beast here in Europe or the like they wanna unload, well, send me a message...I been havin' an itch fo' too long to build sumtin'!

Hello, 

Could anybody recommend a good video camera (HD, tapeless, not too expensive, preferably...)

for shooting a variety of different events, both handheld and tripod use. 

This would be used for professional applications and would need to zoom in pretty well.

Probably be mixing the video signals down to a mac book pro.

Please share your expertise, it is much appreciated.

thank you for your help, 

KK

ahahahahahah

But senz'altro worthier than attention it is the artistic style with which it has been illustrated beyond that from the author from other designers like R.K.Sloane, and Steve Fiorilla.

The young people stood in line its stall in order to buy up their representing T-shirts Rat Fink, or other personages always from he created like Mr. Gasser, Drag Nut, Mother's worry. He allows this it after to be transferred in California, to put on a small enterprise with a spaziosa workshop and some laborers to the continuation with which he will realize its model more originate them and funny. The 4 You open them 2001 And will pass to better life, but its personages continue to being alive who never, entusiasmando old and new fanati and collectors to us.

All of y'all should try swedish "folk-ol" or "people's beer" which is a sort of low alcohol (not more than 3,5%) beer sold in most stores. Tastes like yep, you guessed it, watered down beer! But that was the drug of choice for kids here as there is a 20 year age limit on stronger stuff!

 

For "strong" beer, wine & booze we have to go to a government run chain of liquor stores; SYSTEMBOLAGET. Check it out... www.systenbolaget.se

 

Mmmmm, sweden is fantastic & it's great that the state keeps your drinking in check. Up til a few years back it was closed saturdays! But we do have great moonshine here, though!
