^Uhh...poor choice of metaphor.

^Uhh...poor choice of metaphor.

Yeah, I'd say so! Nomination Not seconded!

[ken ellis]

that is exactly why its not a poor choice of a metaphor!

not only could it happen, IT DID HAPPEN!

and that is the scary part, we are so desensitized to real life horrors by movies, that the mere mention of the truth scares people!

they can watch the reports of hundreds of people being killed in syria, egypt, libiya, or 15 years ago in bosnia and just ignore it

or equally stupid, they can have a friggin shit fit, over the tiniest thing, as if it is a fucking tragedy of epic proportions and forget tens of millions of people died in ww2, some of you may be too young and others not, but man when I grew up all my uncles fought in the war, and all the old timers around here and where I worked were ww2 vets

oh well somebody post a movie pic!

lets get the show on the road!

I personally I am not desensitized to mass violence.

Using the holocaust in the above way, IMHO, is not appropriate.

gotta know what movie eyebiter has put up!

I saw it when I was a kid, I think and it freaked me out a little.

if its the one Im thinking about so I'm looking  forward to netflixing it when the answer is up

[ken ellis]

eyebiter is that one of the italian sci fi flicks of the earlyish 60s?

izzit the one where the guys in the scuba suits, one of em anyway gets infected or taken over, kind of like but maybe not like a vampire or somesuch

then at the critical moment, someone grabs him and his suit gets ripped open, revealing his chest to be some bloody looking mass?

if so, then I badly need to see the anwer to the title cause I saw this as a kid, and like I said if kind of freaked me out, a little

also the movie with the door that closed like a camera lens and a guy got caught in it with his leg on the other side too! cant recall that title either

I may need to resort to calling old rowdy, he is the sci fi guru here...

see I never even read any sci fi stuff!  cept pulp from the 30-50 era doc savage, shadow, avenger and such...

[Barthheart]

planet of the vampires!  woo woo

know to find this gem of sci fi on nutflix? 

there's another one where this big tall pale dude was here on earth kidnapping people

he would move up close to them and spread out his coat ( big poncho looking thing ) the people would disappear, I think he was shrinking em to about barbie doll size and putting em in his briefcase!  maybe three to a case

cant remember if they were being removed for eating or breeding or slavery?

there was also some hot italian chicks I think running around directing him to his targets!

seemed like there was a space command type dealio going on too in the movie not sure if it was a unified global deal or not

that movie was on tcm or amc last year in a sci fi blowout celebrating crappy movies I think

will try to discern the title and put up pics, failing that Im sure I can find something interesting as well as disgusting to post?

[ken ellis]

bingo found the link on utube to the entire flick!

planet o the vampires that is...

be back in a couple hours

[ken ellis]

eyebiter

just netflixxed the planet of the vampires!

and for sure, I was only 6 years old and went to see that movie with my mom, older bro and probably a cousin - they would have been 12 and maybe 14

I WAS FREAKED OUT! for a 65 movie that thing is full of fake blood at least early and those guys rising from the dead! wooo! movie still works today and the color is just too cool!
