As in the drainpipe wearing, target backed, scooter riding, The Jam listening poofs?


That was the greatest time ever circa 76 to 82, 83... :)

I was a Rude Boy (still am) and we used to fight the Punks all along Princess Street in Edinburgh every Saturday, knocked the living daylights out of each other so we did... :)

But the best thing of all was when the Mods showed up on their scooters, then us Rude Boys and Punks would team up and knock the crap out of them instead... :)

Ahh... life was fun back then... never see kids these day's enjoying themselves like that, they're too busy stuck at home playing with their consoles and PCs to know about having real fun like that... :)

Army of Darkness. Now where's my prize? Or is that only being offered to Franko?


Been trying to figure that one out all day... never heard of it... :confused:

PS: There is no real prize, he's just rubbing it in cos he got the job and you didn't... ;)

Franko: Evil dead 3 - Army of Darkness.

Really, you never heard of that!?


P.S. I used to spend my days hanging with Poli-punks and skaters when I was a teen. Never was much one for fighting though, but I did love to and still love to resist corrupt authority.


Watched a bit of the very first Evil Dread film once but nearly died of boredom... :(

Nah... Evil Dead aint my kinda thing, much prefer Pythons stuff or Sci Fi... oh and Little House On The Prairie (always wished they'd made a Lord Of The Rings length version of Little House On The Prairie)... :)

Political punk, though I just ran with them as I've never been one to adopt group followings, for which reason I never called myself punk or what ever.


As for Army of Darkness, unlike most Evil Dead fans, it may be the only one you like...


It is total slap stick. :)

And for the note, I feel ya on the Little House sentiments, totally!


Ah gotcha now (never thought it meant Political, should have guessed you rebel you)... :)

Never liked labels meself, being called a "Rude Boy" always sounded like to me we were just cheeky wee boys, Punk at least sounded a bit more rough... :)

Well if Army Of Darkness is more slapstick then I'll give it a view sometime, when it comes to "Horror" movies the thing I don't get about them is, when watching them I've never had the feeling of horror or fright so I could never figure out why they were called "Horror" movies... (well apart from the "Horrific" bad acting in some of them like the remake of "The Hills Have Eyes)... :)

Never mind here's a picture of Laura Ingalls... Drool... :)

Do try watching it.  It is in no way meant to be taken seriously and Bruce Campbell (good Scottish name) hams it up in a way even William Shatner couldn't as the reluctant slimy hero/coward Ash.  If you enjoyed the old stop-motion animations on movies like Jason & The Argonauts then this movie is almost a tribute to it, but done almost as a satire.

I'll have a look for it on Play.com and see if they've got it, if it's got more ham acting than William Shatner in that old Vic 20 advert then it's gotta be good... :)

While I'm at here, I've been trying to remember the names of some horror films I saw a few years back not sure if they were called "The Ring" or something like that !!!

They were set in Japan and about some weird wee ghostly lassie who haunted this house and murdered folk to death by frightening them (she kinda juddered about like she was all broken and had the biggest gub I've ever seen) think the last film in the series all led to her having been murdered and stuffed down a well but I can't seem to find them anywhere, any ideas... :)

Shatner, Ham & A Vic 20... :eek:

@ XDelusion...

Them's the very films I was talking about cheers... :)

Grudge is one's I liked too... :)

As for the avatar (apart from having a neck longer than E.T.) I've been wondering meself about that, thought at first it was something to with the "CUBE" series of films then thought nah... then I though it was something I saw in "SAW"... nah...

But I've got it now... you're re-inacting a scene from the little know Sci Fi B movie of 1952 called "Uh Oh... The Attack Of The Tiny Chrome Plated SpaceHoppers That Nail Themselves To Yer Forehead", pretty sure that's the one... :)

I think they are all off doing Yoga with their dogs.

@J: I was a huge Barker fan. Watched all the movies, read all the books...
That is till they went full blown gay fantasy romance. :)


Aren't there laws against that... :eek: (or am I thinking about something else)... :confused:
