I just picked up a Gamera Collection from Amazon. 11 (really awful) movies for only $9. It will be proudly displayed on the shelf next to my Godzilla collection.

Just a day ago, I watched part of "A Fistful of Dollars", LOL, it only came to my mind because I was watching Back to the Future II before and was curious where that western scene that is playing on Biff's TV actually originates from. Have to watch it again in full-length (I was partly occupied with PC work the other day), no comparison how movies are made today, compared to the too fast cutting nowadays this one seems to be playing in slow-motion.
Off-topic: Speaking about Back to the Future, it's still one of the best geeky science ficition movie (trilogy) out there. Watching it from today's perspective, it amazingly feels like you were watching footage or documentary about the Moon landing and the Apollo missions, and all the time you ask yourself: "Hell, how did they manage to go up there with this primitive, stone-age kind of technology?" And all of that just with the amount of 1.21 gigawatts!

I'm ready for mine - loaded up 200 rounds of 9mm Luger for the range tomorrow. Along with a couple hundred rounds each of .243 Winchester and .30-06 Springfield, I'm loaded for bear. Unfortunately, I'll have to settle for punching little round holes in sheets of paper, since bear isn't in season, and no one's seen one within 200 miles in 100 years. I might even take the old AK-47 out to play, since ammo is again plentiful and cheap. Last week I got an email offer for 1000 rounds at $213. Heck, I can't even reload them for that price!
The afternoon and evening will be spent watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt I & II on ABC. If that doesn't hold my interest, I'll head across the creek for a Prime Rib buffet at the casino. Sometimes, life is good!

When adding comments to a thread lounge, is it really so wrong to throw a bit of gasoline onto the fire; or lit matches into the gasoline?
I mean, if the day's going slow on the real-world side of the screen, why not liven things up on the other side?

But, as you may notice from the next reply following yours.
Trolling is trolling is certainly true - but is it trolling?
From a troll's point of view, isn't complaining about their trolling trolling?
(oh my - an opportunity for recursion - must resist. must resist)

You need a pretty strict definition for it, though, or just about any contribution to a discussion that prolongs or extends it could be termed trolling.

Jeeze, that's trolling, if I ever saw it!
Demanding strict definitions or strict adherence to definitions is a typical troll tactic!
Where's the "Abuse" button?

Nope: it is not only acceptable but expected. No fun in bland.

If you need to ask the question: "is it wrong for me, or, is it wrong for us ?" you are lost.

Nice recovery at the end, there. If you read some of MehGerbil's other posts I think you'll see the joke was nearly on you.

Hey, now.
Stay on topic. Everyone with the slightest thread of moral decency (and a disdain for the coding equivalent of pedophilia) is in perfect agreement with that statement.
If I were you, I would not so much as dignify the thread with a self-flagellating rant.
Being contrary to being contrary may still be contrary, but not if I wish it to be otherwise.

Yes, they are called in-laws. However, most people don't have in-laws, they have out-laws.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
