I think most of my guild has it memorized and once one person starts quoting... It's fun though.

Wut?!? Say it ain't so, Joe. ;)

Rocky is an exemplar of the "Triumph of the Human Spirit" category executed in a classically American idiom.

It's got it all. Thrills, exultation, schmaltz and even Eye of the Tiger (though I get ahead of myself, here).

Actually, it's Rocky Horror Picture Show, at least that I was quoting.
I don't know if that's what you were referring to Av, but if you've not seen it as a midnight movie with all the naughty silly people involved, I can completely understand the sentiment. The movie itself is a stinkpile with arguably good music at times. It was exactly what teenage me needed to get out of the house on weekends and flirt with girls when I was too young to go to bars. It is more fun to be a part of than it is to sit idly by and watch it.

Yeah. Shoulda gotten that from Sorus' post. Rocky may be a great movie, though not exactly a quotable group event. :lol:

I've always thought that Little Shop of Horrors should be held in similar regard as RHPS (especially since the original, tragic ending has been restored), but to no avail.

Hello everyone. I just finished the first and second chronicles for the third time and found you by Googling 'why do the Elohim want Vain to fail', whereupon I found a fantastic discussion here about that very thing.

I'm about to read the last chronicles for the first time. I'm not sure why I waited so long.

I can't believe I didn't know about this forum before! The chronicles have been hugely important in my life. Naturally my wedding ring is white gold!

A Scot! :D (Where's Phantasm? And Edinburghemma?) Welcome aboard Cams, always good to "see" a new face. :D Stay out of the Last Chrons forums for a while though, there be spoilers.

Plenty else to talk about here though, so take a look around and join in any(every)where. :D

:wave: Hello Cams and Kizza. Hope I haven't missed anyone! I've been away for a while.
I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order!

The Return of the Ping

Post by guest2018 »

Hey ho

I used kevinswatch way back in 2008 as a means to contact a very old friend. A shot in the dark really, ultimately proving too difficult. I don't have the patience or the temperament to bandy words and beat around the bush.

A social network specific to this sort of thing hadn't previously worked out. Lines of communication were being cut and it got downright weird. As a matter of fact a newspaper company from my hometown bought the media site and then closed it down. I read somewhere something about online bullying, but it was only business though it took me a while to move on.

Anyway I'm just here to 'ping' a friend, hope you don't mind ...
