Loved John Carradine, he just got better with age. He will be missed. Been on a movie kick lately, guess I needed a break from anime. Saw what was "probably" Kurt Russells' greatest movie (he had so many greats though); 3000 Miles to Graceland (2001). What an all-star cast that one had. Kevin...

Its' like no one watches movies nowadays.... So I have been plagued with sorting out technical difficulties the last week or so which has left me twiddling my thumbs a bit as I put my life on hold while those issues are resloved. Annoying. So I passed some of my time watching a film or two...

The timing is calculated...and maybe even predicted (see South China Sea thread). China is just bullying here, throwing their weight around at a time where the international community cannot ignore it. I am actually somewhat impressed by the diplomatic skills of China. They have a way of seeming...

The camera work is "par for the course" as multiple events are happening at the same time which means all events can't be shown at once. The layout of the events prevents the cameramen from being that close. These were just the qualifiers. Results here...

Finished watching The Nice Guys with Russell Crowe, Ryan Gosling and the young Angourie Rice. I didn't know they still made movies like that. Good one. I'd give it two thumbs up but who does that? Try it in the mirror. You look like an idiot don't you? Good movie either way though, thumbs or no...

But....but....I really like harem anime. I mean seriously, what guy doesn't? And Kirito was only interested in one girl (not that that isn't common in harem animes). I really consider it more of a romance story. I totally get your point though. Log Horizon: good anime, watched both seasons...

Wow. Not a fan of the SAO anime huh? that is okay. Opinions on these things differ. Never read the light novel, though. I am sure it was good. I didn't know that they strrayed from the story in the anime. I am currently watching the series for the third time then I came across this article...

TOKYO — Contrary to some early expectations, 2012 anime “Sword Art Online” didn’t achieve quite the same breakout popularity among mainstream western audiences as “Dragon Ball,” “Ghost in the Shell” or “Cowboy Bebop.” Still, “Sword Art Online” proved to be a massive hit among the demographics...

Good Luck Japan! (but I will be rooting for the USA)

Well, it was their first album (The special edition in the torrent included two video performances I believe ) so the songs themselves should be out there. Most of the links I found were old and dead but I stopped looking when I found out about the videos....what quality were you looking for? it...

Gaming has come a long way since the 90s'. Virtual worlds, online gaming with realtime speed and great graphics, even online chess forums that can tell if your opponent is cheating using modern chess programs.....Nothing wrong with giving games another go. All JAV and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Bro, of course you know that only people 18 or older are supposed to be here, so I am sure you are at least 18 (people under 18 are banned by moderators....it is their job and I have seen them do it). Not sure what church you went to but some minds are just filthy, unorganized, unclean and...

Sometimes it is difficult not to try to trash an anime even when I liked it. For starters the fanservice would have been more better if it wasn't censored but it was still pretty great. The protaganist wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer but this being a harem anime it was a nice plus that...

Glad to have you here. Sorry for the late greeting but consider yourself greeted and welcomed.

Didn't check the torrent but are you looking for just the songs or the whole album with videos only. Some of these tracks might be on Youtube as well.

There is a difference between a ghost story and a horror story. While a ghost story can become a horror story it is always a story of the dead that have passed from the world of the living yet seek to influence those who still dwell in the world they left behind. Ghost stories are creepy...

I'll most likely be following the womens' beach volleyball and womens artistic gymnastics myself. I am not as interested in the other sports nowadays.

Those contain DHEA, which is a steroid. They also contain yohimbe which may be a contributing factor here. Urologists hate these types of pills and will swear up and down they won't work. They do, so just keep plugging bro. Make sure to double check the directions on some of those as they may...

True that too much masturbation decreases virility but an old trick is to actually masturbate before you go out on a date. Makes you less horny and more relaxed around your date also if you get her in the sack you tend to last longer. It is also true that psychological problems can affect your...

I wasn't crazy about the first episode of this one but like many anime it was setting the prologue for a much more interesting story. The main characters are well done and the journey that you take with them is entertaining. One thing that you can't stress enough in a good anime are the...

All I found was the first three. Amazon only has r*** Zombie 4 Lust Of The Dead available in a Japanese DVD (at $40 no less...and those require a multi-region DVD player) so I don't think there has been release internationally. Also known as Reipu zonbi-Lust For the Dead. Sometimes guys do rips...

Are you looking for a torrent or a direct download link? and no, desioner didn't cover regular Japanese movie titles in his thread topic so I have no clue where your request goes.

Now personally I take reports from Reuters with a "grain of salt" because they have been known to sensationalize and quote out of context from time to time. But I still read a lot of their articles as they are one of the most recognized reporting institutions in the world. This particular...
