what was EGM's 1989 Game of the Year: Legendary Axe or Ghouls 'n Ghosts ?

[runinruder]

I think VG&CE made the right call when they gave Axe Game of the Year.  IIRC, they gave Honorable Mentions to Thunder Force II and Blazing Lazers, which are two other fantastic games that I'd also rank above GNG.

[Joe Redifer]

Arrggg!!  I missed the Star Trek conversation.  Oh well.  I like how the evil butler/manservant from Titanic is the Abraham Lincoln-esque Klingon in ST6.

[esteban]

You guys do know that handygrafx is AirRaidX, right?

Are you serious?

If you are then that explains multitudes of things.

Holy crap, no way!

Handygrafx, I sent you a PM a day or two ago...

[Ceti Alpha]

I like how the evil butler/manservant from Titanic is the Abraham Lincoln-esque Klingon in ST6.

Cool. David Warner is his name. He was also in STV as the human ambassador on Nimbus III. He's quite a good actor. I haven't seen Titanic yet, so I can't comment on his performance. heh.

[spenoza]

A Japanese friend made me sit through Titanic while she, among other things, showered. I swore I would never see the movie. In retrospect, everything about the movie was cool except the two lead characters.

[Kitsunexus]

I'd have to disagree with EGM. 

I do that everyday on every subject.

You should beat her in the head with something heavy, something like a wrench. Beat her long and hard enough that she can't pop up and do aerobics and chant something like "I WAS BLUDGEONED WITH A WRENCH".

[GUTS]

I only saw the end of Titanic where that bitch (I like the actress, but the character was a total cunt) let Leo die when there was more than enough room on the piece of thingy she was floating on.  Leo is the shit- he's one of my favorite actors- but I'll be damned if I'll sit through that movie just to see him die for no reason at the end.

[Joe Redifer]

They both tried to get on, but it wouldn't hold them both.

David Warner should have been dressed up as the Abraham Lincoln Klingon for the entirety of Titanic for NO REASON.  That would have rocked.

As for Star Trek 5, Paramount made Shatner add "humor elements" like the campfire song in to the movie because humor played a large role in part 4 and they wanted another hit like that.  Also the special effects company they normally use was unavailable because they were busy snorting cocaine off of each other's penis's, so they had to use Kitsunexus's pirated Maya program on his 386 PC.

I'm gonna sound totally gay for saying this, but that Romeo and Juliet movie set in the present(or something like it) starring Leo was pretty fucking cool. That opening gas station scene was great. 9mm swords 

[Kitsunexus]

The only good Leo movie is The Departed, and after multiple views you get the feeling that the movie was more hype than actually good. 

[Joe Redifer]

I really didn't like The Departed at all... or anything else poisoned by Alec Baldwin for that matter.

[Sinistron]

Ew!  Baldwin's got the best line in the whole movie- when he says something like "I'm gonna go out for a smoke you want a smoke? you don't smoke what are you one of those health freaks go fuck yourself" in one quick breath.    I never used to like him- but his delivery there was so stellar that it made me a fan.

[ccovell]

You obviously never saw his famous scene in Glengarry Glen Ross.

[Sinistron]

I've actually never seen Glengarry Glen Ross.  It's on a small list of embarrassing film misses. 

[nat]

I love The Departed, great film.

I saw it for the first time over the Thanksgiving break this past year and I just had to own it.

[GUTS]

Yeah Romeo & Juliet was great, I dug it.  What's Eating Gilbert Grape was the first movie I saw him in, although I'd been a fan of his from when he was on Growing Pains of all things, I remember thinking how much better of an actor he was than everyone else on the show (even though I loved the show).

Alec Baldwin in the SHIT, I love that guy.  Have any of you guys watched 30 Rock?  There's one episode where he pretends to be Tracy Morgan's poor black parents, he should have gotten an award for that scene, it was fucking amazing.

[Keranu]

What about Charles Grodin, GUTS?

[Joe Redifer]

I dislike Tracy Morgan even more than Alec Baldwin!

[GUTS]

Ok I recommend everyone except Joe watch 30 Rock then.  The only two actors I absolutely refuse to watch any movie they're in are Matthew Lillard and Ryan Reynolds, fuck I hate those guys.

And Charles Grodin rules, who doesn't like Grodin?

[Kitsunexus]

BTW everyone is spelling Romeo + Juliet wrong. I have never seen that movie, but the gas station fight sounded cool, so I looked it up on Youtube, and the movie would be FUCKING INCREDIBLE if it wasn't for the fact that despite being the early-mid 90's, THEY SPEAK IN FUCKING ELIZABETHIAN SHAKESPEARIAN ENGLISH. >_< Totally ruins the movie, I'm not going to look for it now.

[CrackTiger]

Although there are many actors I hate(I won't dare list them here, since they're likely most people's favorites), I'll still give their films a chance if they appear to be decent on their own. However, I don't think that'll ever happen with Matthew Lillard though.

I like 30 Rock, but the second season is already getting noticibly more gimmicky wacky kinda like when Seinfeld past its prime. In the one commentary track I listened to, Trace Morgan sounded even crazier than Tracy Jordan, only extremely sedated instead of manic.

[esteban]

Great movie. I always recommend that folks check out "Salesman" (1968) as a companion piece. I just love watching both of those movies together.

I'm gonna sound totally gay as well, but "O" is a neat movie based on Othello. The movie changes some aspects of the play, but it is pretty darn neat how "O" follows Othello.

[Joe Redifer]

Tracy Morgan sounded even crazier than Tracy Jordan

That is truly, truly sad that they needed to pick a name so close to the real actor's name for that character.  Probably because the dipshit "actor" who plays him has trouble enough remembering his own name.  I don't know why he is allowed to be alive.

[GUTS]

Seinfeld never went past its prime, blasphemy!

[Kitsunexus]

Seinfeld never went past its prime, blasphemy!

You have a point there. If you start out sucking in the worst way, it's pretty hard to go past your prime.

[Ceti Alpha]

Seinfeld never went past its prime, blasphemy!

haha. I have to agree with B_T; Seinfeld lost its way when Larry David left the show. You can see it plain as day. Not that there weren't any good episodes during the post Larry David era, but the humour just seemed forced.

[nat]

I  thought Larry David was just absent from most of the last season.

He came back to do the final episode, though.

But GUTS is right-- Seinfeld is the shit, through and through.

[Keranu]

Not sure if you guys are meaning the shit as in the good or bad way. I've never been into Seinfeld myself.

I like Sanford & Son.

[nat]

The shit, like da shiznit, shiznizzle, that kind of thing. The "good" shit.

[Kitsunexus]

Keranu, whenever "shit" is qualified by the definite article, it has a positive connotation.

Whenever it's on it's own, it's taken as what you would expect.

Simply, "the shit" = a good thing, "shit" = shit.

[Turbo D]

turbo D likes seinfeld! He borrowed his neighbors season1-3 dvd sets and never returned them 

[spenoza]

I'm gonna have to go against the grain here and say I don't enjoy Seinfeld at all. That's not a statement of quality, just a statement of my preference.

[Kitsunexus]

I'm gonna have to go against the grain here

You're not going against the grain, you're just joining my grain.

[Keranu]

Kewl, 3 members so far!

[GUTS]

Larry David sucks on his own anyway, his show is awful.  He needed Seinfeld to help him out, kinda like Garfunkle was total crap without Simon.

Thanks for the confirmation, but yeah I got the idea a few pages back.

Oh I have a sense of humor, just not boring humor . I guess I'm into what would be called cheese humor . I do love Strangers With Candy.

On a side note, people who've met me told me I am the funniest person they know.

Taken from the awesome-as-usual page The Game Room Blitz:

You can never change the channel, click the remote, go to the bathroom, or get a sandwich. You're tightly bound to a Lay-Z-Boy chair and forced to listen to the cast of Sienfeld whine...

"Oh, nooooo! It's liiint!!! It's liiint!!!!"
"Holy bedsheets, Jerry! You've got lint in your house!!!"
"OF COURSE IT'S LINT, GEORGE! DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT!?!"
"What do we do Jerry!? That lint looks mighty, uh, linty..."
"Let's call Elaine! Elaaaaine!"
{rrrring}
"Hi, Jerry. What's up?"
"We've got lint in our house! Liiint!!!"
{the door opens and Kramer literally slides in}
"Actually, I think that lint's kind of cute..."
"You would, Kramer... you're a pod person! Wait... there's only one person disgusting enough to leave lint in my house..."
EVERYONE: "NEWMAN!!!"


There can only be one place this horrible... and you're there. Welcome to Sitcom Hell.
