You can't be in love after just a one night stand Penny.

Why not? I was in love with my husband before I even saw him.

S-dip, if you haven't heard it, check out Alanis's Jagged Little Pill album.
I bet she wouldn't like it. It's the personal rantings of a woman scorned......and it gets boring real quick. Just like the woman I was with who owned it!
Kenny, Dogma was a good movie

I've heard mixed reports.....don't like Affleck or Damon enough to worry about it. I'll live.

Met him on the net Kenny :wink:

Maybe S-dip wouldn't like it, but it wouldn't hurt to have a listen. As far as the ranting bit goes, maybe she does rant a bit (but what's wrong with that?)

and even though she may have been scorned, she shows she's willing to find love again. Head Over Feet is a nice song. No scorned ranting there. :wink:

And wasn't she still a teenager when she brought it out?

I know a couple of songs from that album... Kenny is right, I don't like it. Not so much because of the lyrics, although I am rarely in the mood for the scorned woman part, but mainly because I don't like the melodies she uses. Too much like Suzanne Vega... I just never could get into the alternative singer/songrwiter stuff.

Alan Rickman makes it well-worth to watch. He has very funny lines in that movie. If I were Bobbi I could recite a couple, but I always forget them... :lol:

Oh well if it has Hans Gruber in it, that is a different story!!! :lol:

S-Dip - I am getting to know you pretty well, no?? :wink:

Nothing wrong with that, especially if you find the love of your life.

by **Penny** » Sat Apr 02, 2005 12:30 am

Where is Bobbi S-dip? Is he away?

Oooooh, he did play Hans Gruber indeed!!! That had slipped my mind a bit! :lol:

I had not really heard of him until I saw Galaxy Quest, and only then I discovered he was also Hans Gruber. :shock:

S-Dip - I am getting to know you pretty well, no??

Yes, you are!

No he's still around, he just doesn't post that much.

That's not really good enough!! :lol:

I've asked him and he says "I am very busy with all the spyware and often don't get around to posting here anymore" (he posts on a couple of Anti-Spyware forums)

But he can always speak through me! I am his channeler

by **Bobbi Flekman** » Sat Apr 02, 2005 6:01 pm

I heard I needed to post more, so.... :lol:

About Morisette, I like it. I'm not always in the mood for her, but I do have "Jagged Litle Pill" and a DVD ("Jagged Little Pill, Live").

Dogma! Yep, right along with most of the Kevin Smith movies (I know Kenny, you don't like ' em!). You wanted quotes, you get 'em

Allan Rickman wrote:Metatron: Anyone who isn't dead or from another plane of existence would do well to cover their ears right about now.
---
Metatron: I am to charge you with a holy crusade.
Bethany: For the record, I work in an abortion clinic.
Metatron: Noah was a drunk. Look what he accomplished. And no one's even asking you to build an ark. All you have to do is go to New Jersey, and visit a small church on a very important day.
Bethany: New Jersey? That doesn't sound like much of a crusade.
Metatron: Aside from the fine print, that's it.
Bethany: What's the fine print?
Metatron: [mumbling into glass] Stopacoupleofangelsfromenteringandthusnegatingallexistence.
Bethany: Wait, wait, wait. Repeat that.
Metatron: Stop a couple of angels from entering and thus negating all existence. I hate when people need it spelled out for them.
---
Metatron: [Describing why God doesn't talk to people directly] Were you to hear God's true voice, your mind would cave in and your heart would explode inside your chest. We went through five Adams before we figured that one out.
---
Bethany: What's he like?
Metatron: God? Lonely. But funny. He's got a great sense of humor. Take sex for example. There's nothing funnier than the ridiculous faces you people make mid-coitus.
Bethany: Sex is a joke in heaven?
Metatron: The way I understand it, it's mostly a joke down here, too.
---
Metatron: Tell a person that you're the Metatron and they stare at you blankly. Mention something out of a Charlton Heston movie and suddenly everybody is a theology scholar.
---
Metatron: Metatron acts as the voice of God. Any documented occasion when some yahoo claims God has spoken to them, they're speaking to me. Or they're talking to themselves.

Others wrote:Nun: You don't believe in God because of Alice in Wonderland?
Loki: No, "Through the Looking Glass". That poem, "The Walrus and the Carpenter" that's an indictment of organized religion. The walrus, with his girth and his good nature, he obviously represents either Buddha, or... or with his tusk, the Hindu elephant god, Lord Ganesha. That takes care of your Eastern religions. Now the carpenter, which is an obvious reference to Jesus Christ, who was raised a carpenter's son, he represents the Western religions. Now in the poem, what do they do... what do they do? They... They dupe all these oysters into following them and then proceed to shuck and devour the helpless creatures en masse. I don't know what that says to you, but to me it says that following these faiths based on mythological figures ensure the destruction of one's inner-being. Organized religion destroys who we are by inhibiting our actions... by inhibiting our decisions, out of... out of fear of some... some intangible parent figure who... who shakes a finger at us from thousands of years ago and says... and says, "Do it - Do it and I'll fuckin' spank you. "
---
Bethany: You knew Jesus?
Rufus: Knew him? Shit... Nigga owes me twelve bucks.
---
Gun Salesman: We call this piece the Fecalator. One look at it and the target shits him or herself. Try it on.
Loki: Well, it's a lot more compact than the flaming sword, but it's not nearly as impressive. Just doesn't have that Wrath-of-the-Almighty edge to it. I mean, come on, how am I supposed to strike fear into the hearts of the wicked with this thing? Look at this...
Bartleby: Well, then, you know, don't use a gun. Just lay the place to waste, like.
Loki: Easy for you to say. You get off light in razing. You got to stand there and read at Sodom and Gomorrah, I had to do all the work.
Bartleby: What work did you do? You lit a few fires.
Loki: I rained down sulphur, man, there's a subtle difference.
Bartleby: Oh, yeah, I'm sure.
Loki: Hey, you know, fuck you, man. Any moron with a pack of matches can set a fire. Raining down sulphur is like an endurance trial man. Mass genocide is the most exhausting activity one can engage in, next to soccer.
---
Cardinal Glick: Thank you, thank you, thank you. Now we all know how the majority and the media in this country view the Catholic church. They think of us as a passe, archaic institution. People find the Bible obtuse... even hokey. Now in an effort to disprove all that the church has appointed this year as a time of renewal... both of faith and of style. For example, the crucifix. While it has been a time honored symbol of our faith, Holy Mother Church has decided to retire this highly recognizable, yet wholly depressing image of our Lord crucified. Christ didn't come to Earth to give us the willies... He came to help us out. He was a booster. And it is with that take on our Lord in mind that we've come up with a new, more inspiring sigil. So it is with great pleasure that I present you with the first of many revamps the "Catholicism WOW. " campaign will unveil over the next year. I give you... The Buddy Christ. Now that's not the sanctioned term we're using for the symbol, just something we've been kicking around the office, but look at it. Doesn't it... pop? Buddy Christ...

[after Rufus has fallen from the sky]
Bethany: Speaking of which, you're awfully nude. Rufus, is it?
Rufus: Yes, Rufus it is. It's usually 'Long Rufus' but it's a little cold out here, ya know?

And who can forget my hetero-lifemate

Serendipity: Can you believe it? Me - a muse, for God's sake. I sit down in front of the typewriter, and what do I get? Nothing. Blank page. I can't even write a grocery list.
Bethany: What about what you did with Jay and Silent Bob? You inspired them.
Serendipity: That's the cosmic joke. I can give out a zillion and nine ideas a second, but I can't keep any for myself. Her quirky sense of humor.
---
Serendipity: I have issues with anyone who treats faith as a burden instead of a blessing. You people don't celebrate your faith; you mourn it.
---
Serendipity: When are you people going to learn? It's not about who's right or wrong. No denomination's nailed it yet, and they never will because they're all too self-righteous to realize that it doesn't matter what you have faith in, just that you have faith. Your hearts are in the right place, but your brains need to wake up.
---
Serendipity: Leave it to the Catholics to destroy existence.
---
Serendipity: I'm responsible for nineteen of the twenty top-grossing films of all time.
Bethany: Nineteen?
Serendipity: Yeah, the one about the kid, by himself in his house, burglars trying to get in and he fights them off? I had nothing to do with that one. Somebody sold their soul to Satan to get the grosses up on that piece of shit.
---
Serendipity: Read the Bible again sometime. Women are painted as bigger antagonists than the Egyptians and Romans combined. It stinks.

As S-Dip already said, I'm very busy fighting the good fight on several anti-spyware/virus boards. Which leaves me very little time to get somewhere else. I already had to give up a few other boards that I'd like to wander around on. I do come here quite regularly though (almost daily basis).

As far as I know this is still the AOTW thread, so since Penny introduced the notion of listening to an album once and nominating it I'll top her by just reading about an album and laughing my ass off! Maybe it's something for Johnny (they're all girls). The band is called Crucified Barbara and the album "In Distortion We Trust". Johnny, if you wanna know more the official website. It's either this or the Finnish comedy gang Lordi.

by **Serendipity** » Sat Apr 02, 2005 7:11 pm

Gee Bobbi, you could have posted an mpeg with the entire movie just as well! :lol:

BTW I hope the Crucified Barbara CD never makes it to our house. I've already seen a videoclip from Lordi and that was worse enough. :shock:

by **Penny** » Sun Apr 03, 2005 12:49 am

What's wrong with Lordi? :shock:

by **Kenny** » Sun Apr 03, 2005 12:51 am

That's awful!!! :lol:

by **Serendipity** » Sun Apr 03, 2005 10:28 am

That picture is way too big, Penny! :lol:

I'll try to top it with the tracklist from Crucified Barbara:

1. Play Me Hard (The Bachelor’s Guitar) (3:35)
2. In Distortion We Trust (3:45)
3. Losing The Game (3:52)
4. Motorfucker (3:40)
5. I Need A Cowboy From Hell (3:29)
6. My Heart Is Black (3:33)
7. Hide ‘Em All (3:35)
8. Going Down (2:52)
9. I Wet Myself (3:06)
10. Rock’n’Roll Bachelor (3:08 )
11. Bad Hangover (3:46)

by **Penny** » Sun Apr 03, 2005 4:10 pm

I think I'll give crucified Barbara a miss. :lol:

Penny wrote:What's wrong with Lordi?

You wanted to say it's not comedy? I know that I would be laughing my ass off! To be honest, I saw Lordi once on tv; the music isn't even half-bad! If only for the laugh-a-minute stage show :lol:

Long Live GWAR!

On the other hand, Babs On A Cross isn't that bad either. It's a bit of a cross between Rock Goddess and Phantom Blue, but as the album title implies WAY MORE distortion!

by **Penny** » Sun Apr 03, 2005 6:10 pm

I think Lordi are hilarious. I don't mind their music either.

by **Jonny B** » Fri Apr 08, 2005 3:34 am

For the sake of posting a different album, my AOTW randomly goes to Dare "Out of the Silence."

by **Taliwakker** » Fri Apr 08, 2005 9:28 am

Mine is still SYL-Alien

although the bonus disc on Ayreon's 'The Final Experiment 10th Aniversary' got numerous spins....Astrid VDV does a killer version of Dreamtime.

What is Astrid up to these days? I would like to see another Ambeon album in the future.

by **Penny** » Fri Apr 08, 2005 2:05 pm

This week, surprise surprise, AOTW is Kamelot's Black Halo. I love it.

by **Kenny** » Fri Apr 08, 2005 2:24 pm

Well 'Demolition' by Priest is the car stereo, and on the home one, so I guess that must be this weeks AOTW.

Astrid is in a band called The Endorphines i believe.

Don't know about another Ambeon cd....Arjen's next album is going to feature Marcela Bovia on vocals.....she is really good (she was on The Human Equation...if you don't have it...get it)

by **Bobbi Flekman** » Fri Apr 08, 2005 6:58 pm

After The Scorpions concert I was wondering if there wasn't a better song they could have played from "Unbreakable", so I started playing it. It still is...

by **Taliwakker** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 10:52 am

The Mars Volta-Frances the Mute

by **Bobbi Flekman** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 6:13 pm

Jonny transfered the CD to me since he didn't like it. I do, so my AOTW is Lil' Led Zep from Seattle with "Jupiter's Darling".

by **Kenny** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 7:53 pm

'Lil Led Zep'?? :lol:

Ann would be half of Led Zep for a start......interesting comparison, though I don't see it.

My AOTW - Appetite for Destruction, G'n'R. The good old days, when all that mattered was playing music. :roll:

Great raw, rebellious rock and Roll.

It's what they're called around Seattle in the old days (when they were just starting out). And much of their folky stuff has that distinct Led Zep feel like "Battle Of Evermore" or "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You".

Well, Jonny has transfered something more to Holland... Like the idea to make Within Temptation - The Silent Force AOTW.
