LOL I was thinking "Doug has a pretty lame        AA> idea what porn is".        AA>               I'm so sorry, but I'm laughing my ass off over what you just said. I can't       imagine what you were verbalizing as you were watching that shit.               AA> It turns out that Hostile was not entirely bad at all. The special        AA> effects of the "creature" were amazing, although I thought that the CGI        AA> octupus beard on Day Jones in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest        AA> from waaay back in 2006 was pretty amazing. There is probably nothing        AA> the CGI can't accomplish now.        AA>               Hmm .. maybe I'll watch it. I'm not a big zombie fan.               AA> Now.. Hostel (the torture porn film..) I'll pass.        AA>               Probably a good idea, the movie SAW, paled in comparison to Hostel. They       took the movie too far. I haven't seen any of the others that have been       released. If they could top the first, I wouldn't want to. Scarface was an       excellent example of shocking people without actually showing someone getting       cut up by a chainsaw. Whenever our society turned to demanding more realismn       in violance is beyond me. I was content with the likes of Scarface, the       Shining, and the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre, level of "shock."               AA> I'm having too much fun watching Burn Notice. I'd like to live in that        AA> world a little while longer during this pathetic covid19 time.        AA>               Hmmm ... I love spy shows and novels, a better one (but similar) is on the       tip of my fingers but can't recall this AM. I'll try to provide some       recommendations. I only buy blu-rays of spy, military, historical, and super       hero flicks -- oh and the occasional remake of a retro show like the A-Team,       etc... just because I can.              TG              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A45 2020/02/18 (Windows/32)        * Origin: The Underground [@] theunderground.us:10023 <-port (1:227/702)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 120/340 601 123/131 226/16 30 227/114 702 229/101       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 664 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 317/3 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 633/280       PATH: 227/702 229/426           |
