Aeneid: getting for Christmas. Definitely.
Can provide link to many good sites for reading things if you wish?
Cristo/Mordokai slash: you two have very good chemistry both when role playing and just as yourselves. So follow that along the normal route to . . . yeah.
Also: Sons and Lovers is a deadly dull book after a bit. I hit the wall after chapter eight/nine.
Loooooooooooooooooord sideways!
DULL!
D. H. Lawrence. He LOVES his sexual innuendo. A lot. So much. It's worse than anything you can come up with here.
Yes, that much.

I have awesome film homework, I have to do a plot outline for a movie I want to make and take into account Equilibrium, Dis-Equilibrium and New Equilibrium. Awesome, time to get troperiffic, my film tutor even mentioned the sorting algorithm of evil, not my name though.

Re: Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
Well, Spiceboy knows TV Tropes. He's going to love any Film Studies coursework or work because he can apply TV Tropes to them.
Thus what's actually seen as cool by us (because we know and breathe the tropes) is actually caused by our Geekery Factor.

Well, 4 years of University training at recognizing tropes and how they work tends to do that...

Re: Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
Meh.
I wouldn't know. Is only in (UK) college. And having fun. And loving E Lit class so much, despite sex mad Lawrence, as the people I sit with all love manga/satire shows a la Mock the Week/fantasy authors/horror films and so on and so forth.
And music.
Also; one of the girls has the dirtiest laugh imaginable and she can read innuendo in pretty much anything.

Wouldn't have any idea what that's like...
...nope...
...not a clue...

It's been my experience over here that anyone claiming to be a horror fan is really just a gorehound. Gore has its place in horror, of course, but it's not the be-all and end-all of spookitude.

Re: Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
No doubt, I'm a gorehound; I love the Nightmare on ELm Street series, but then, if you're a horror fan you pretty much have to.
But my greatest love is the psychological horrors and slight hints at terrifying things that draws my attention.
I still say that the 1963 b&w of The Haunting is one of, if not the scariest films I have ever seen, and you see no blood or monsters in it. It all plays on your nerves and imagination via noises.
Here's the trailer: and it's still freaky as hell!
I insist that all horror lovers watch it.
*is scared all over again*
*watches*
EDIT:
@^:*BOOGIE!*
Conditional offer means that providing you get the grades required for the course (e.g. ABB) you get a place.Last edited by CurlyKitGirl; 2008-10-22 at 02:25 PM.

Re: Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
Nightmare is almost tame by today's standards, now that movies like Saw or Hostel (*vomits*) are the norm.
Want a real good horror/suspense flick? Jacob's Ladder. Also, and I don't know why, but Final Destination 1 and 2 have been growing on me, though they pale in comparison to Ladder

That reminds me of the Demonita books by Darreb Shan, Cristo (they are good books, but they are gory rather then scary).
"It doesn't matter what you think I'm supposed to be, 'cause I myself know all too well." Line from "King of My World" by Saliva.

Re: Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
Yer, films great and tvtropes helps a lot, although it'd still be solid to get a high grade just with tropes.
I got an A on the first draft of my first film coursework, which was identifying meaning and stuff. YAY!

Re: Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
Your brother's in Oxford?
*awe*
Dress in a suit; prepare for three courses; cutlery goes from the outside in; and be as Kaela-ish as possible.
Any reason why? Or's it a dinner for dinners' sake?
@Cristo: I don't watch modern horror films often. They're too obvious it's just ridiculously funny or bad taste.
That's why I like older stuff.
Plot for Jacob's Ladder? I might give it a look.

Jacob's Ladder is good. Weird as frickin' hell, but good. Kinda funky plot, CM shall explain.
And, no, my cousin's at Oxford. My brother and I were invited by him. No parents. I'm a bit in awe, really, and can't wait at the same time. And I knew about the cutlery. Me posh, remember?

Re: Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
28 Days Later was fantastic, some of it was obvious but a lot of the imagery is subtle but important. The whole reason it's sequel sucked because it lacked subtlety, the sets were appalling as well, there's not much in it, the overuse of the theme made it kill the atmosphere as well.
I don't like torture porn movies though.

Re: Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
Modern horror is shock horror, plain and simple. Like I said before, there's nothing wrong with shock, but now it's all there is. It's cheap and after awhile it just becomes blah.
Jacob's Ladder:
A young soldier is wounded during an attack in the Vietnam War. He is sent home, but during the susequent months/years he begins having flashbacks and occasionally what appear to be delusions. The movie switches back and forth between two different lives and we're never quite sure which is the real one. Personal demons made manefest appear to torment him during his ordeal to make terms with the past.
28 Days is a good example of modern horror done right, or at least well.Last edited by Cristo Meyers; 2008-10-22 at 02:37 PM.

Re: Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
28 Days Later is one of my top 3 favorite movies of all time. The original Alien and The Descent are the other two.
I'm not really a fan of gorn (gore/porn; aren't I clever?). I'm much more interested in atmosphere and suspense in my horror flicks than I am bloodsplatter and the gratuitous gut-tear scene that seems to have been a convention in zombie movies anymore. I guess I'm aberrant in that I love zombie movies for the bleakness and watching how the protagonists deal/cope with their situation, rather than liking the genre for the violence/ick-factor.
