whats the link between AFX and Star wars (except the famous fake)??? for me Episode 1 is shit and David'lynch DUNE is the greatest GLoup gLouOp |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have to agree about the Episode 1 comment... bad movie... cool fight sceens... but thats the only redeaming factor i can think of. DUNE RULES!! XD |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Since I turned up with my lightsaber - Star Wars fever has taken over!! Yay!!!! |
||||||||
|

If George Lucas had any balls episode 2 and three would be 'R' rated, to show the 'darkside', non of these piss poor romance storys with cutesy characters. I'm not a StarWars nerd, I've got this saber coming out of my ass for a reason. |

THere is the R2D2 song on Joyrex series...... Star Wars bores the shit outta me. Dune was way better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"It's warm" lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heheh! -P PS. I love the original trilogy. I know all of Vader's lines like the back of my hand. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like the starwars ships and characters - but the films are pretty dull. i don't like dune either. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dune is great - but you gotta read the book to really enjoy it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i tried dude - my little brother has read em all. i did read a book of herbert short stories i enjoyed tho :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I couldn't read em all - bollocks to that, have far better stuff to read. But the original is good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm not a fantasy freak anyways - the only sci-fi i read is philip k dick, and isaac asimov some times |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I read isaac asimov when I was a young child. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Same here, I always went on the horror side of things... I read some K. Dick, a little Bainks, Ellison... but it's all rather uninteresting to me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
come on now you skank - philip k dick was a great writer! like reflex, i read the asimov when i was a kid... for horror, i enjoy h p lovecraft the best - people like herbert i find unreadable |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Spaceballs episode was good... :-) hey! how can I get a lightsaber on my avatar? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No no, I enjoy phillip K dick! Harlan Ellison is ok too, and I like Herbert... but the genre as a whole is not my cup o' tea! I llllllllllloooooooooooooovvvvvve H.P. man, he's fucking god in my world! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh no.... *sings* "Jar.... you'll be a wizard... soon!" I don't suppose my plea to Phob will work... ah well |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
have you got the 3 omnibuses of lovecraft? published by voyager - you'll get em easy in the local bookstore! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the necrinomicon was fucked up.. read that a few times... tried to study it... the spell books too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah that book is apparantly a fake - there are letters in which lovecraft comments on it himself... but of course, they may be FAKE!!!! YOG SOTHOTH 4eva! ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have the 3 Harper omnibuses... first one novels, second one short stories, third one novellas/long short stories |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
marlowe: yeah.. but it wasnt really written by him was it... even if it was real. it was supposed to be written by the "mad arab".... and he never lived to finish the book. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Necronomicon is bullshit - Lovecraft had a dream about it and made it all up. The 'Mad Arab Abdul Alhazrad' never existed. There are spell books out there, but anything under the name 'The Necronomicon' is usually a big fat money earning BOLLOCK! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah that's the same ones i have Jar... yeah, the mad arab...lol - lovecrafy adopted that name when he was just a kid -=- clever bastard |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dunno ive heard some weird stories about him..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like the fact that the three of us talking about this are 'wizards'... The Necronomicon has loads of stories dedicated to it, most of them fiction, some of them fiction perpurtating to be actual spell books. Me, I was never sucked in... although it'd be nice if Shub-Niggarath, Yog Sothoth and Azathoth do actually exist.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah there definately seems to be more to him than meets the eye - and he was a loner who seemed suited to an earlier time....hmmm...worth pondering |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think he means the Arab, not Lovecraft... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It would be nice if any of them existed. Although I remember reading.. and always wanted to try the ritualistic ways of opening the 7 layers of hell.. but hey.. if you fuck up ONCE {and there were like 100's of rules you had to follow on the way.. all strange..} then hell would open up and everyones souls would be crushed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I also heard strange stories about people following his thoughts, one story in particular about him and another man naked together in a room with no food or water for a week and when they came back lovecraft was covered in blood and shakin in the corner and the other mans body was gone.... but it must be bullshit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he reminds me of crowley actually |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I must say I've never heard that stuff... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Really? well.. I heard it from a reliable person.. trustworthy...... but still..... its not hard to lie. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I though Lovecraft lived a pretty much ordinary life, he was rather ill and frail from a young age but that's about it. There was nothing spooky about his choice of subject matter either, he was inspired by Poe, Hodgson etc and also by his dreams. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Jarworski: i was just under the assumption he was influenced by his dreams alone.. but I dont know that much about him. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
To learn a little more about Lovecraft (or at least a little about his thoughts) try and find his essay 'Supernatural Horror In Literature'... if you haven't already. It's more like a recommendation list than anything but still quite insightful |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Im sure. Ill keep a good eye out for it, thats for sure. |

Interesting Side note, bruce campbell .. great man! his movie series evil dead 1, evil dead 2 and army of darkness had to do with the necrinomicon... fake or not.... I own them all on DVD and the new ED1 movie comes in a fake necrinomicon case.. its cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Nice title for his book.... "Big Chin" or something! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah Big Chin or whatever.. good title for sure. since hes got the biggest of all. I love his quotes from the movies... so good. "You aint got but two things, Jack and Shit, and jack just left town.." |

Lovecraft was a bigot that died at a young age following an unsuccessfull carreer. He was an alchoholic. He lived with his aunt. The Necronomicon was a fake written by some hippy in the sixties that thought it might be a good way to make money. I have read apx 70% of all of lovecrafts work. It is neat for the most part, but ive kinda grown out of it. Wanna hear a strange story about my first HP Lovecraft experience? Listen to this. When I first discovered Lovecraft, I was staying at my mothers in a Village Town in Nova Scotia. The only other buildings in about a mile radius were both churches, each with small cemetaries on the property. When it was late at night, it was literally pitch black. Dark. Anyways, I started reading this book (Four stories inside were in the book, the main one being 'In the mountains of madness'), and almost as soon as I started reading it, my room took on the smell of death. I shit you not, it smelt like something had up and died in the walls. The smell was nowhere else in the house, and got so strong I had to leave the room. I didn't sleep in there that night, opting for the livingroom couch, as it smelt so bad. It took me just under two days to read this book, and almost *a half hour after I finished the smell literally dissapeared*. Now, this wasn't my imagination, because both my mother and sister commented upon the horrible smell. Was that wierd or what? |

ohhh yeah, i think i saw a review somewhere... he talks about his life in it isn't he? |

Ia Ia Chtullu faghn! Necronomicom is bullshit but i got the original "Goulish Cult" from Von Junzt There is a real good biography of Lovecraft from Michel Houellebecq. One of my favorite book is "Voyage au bout de la nuit" de Ferdinand Céline which message is "The best way to live is to flee" I dont like heroic fantasy except Moorcock Tolkien and some Herbert... |
