I guess most people have heard about this music now. It's also known as 80's retro revival, and with good reason. The new retro wave is a form of electronic music that takes its inspiration from 80's pop culture, and it's been really popular the last few years and hit the top when Kavinsky was included on the Drive soundtrack. The film Drive used this kind of music in its soundtrack, and both games Hotline Miami and Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon used it too. So it's been getting kinda popular as of late. This music just oozes of Miami Vice, neon lit cities, cool, sexy 80's cars, 80's Sylvester Stallone and sleazy 80's workout videos. This is basically the perfect summer music, and I am not joking. I've loved it for many years already and I still can't get enough of it. And I'll just get to it and post some songs and let you know how it sounds, even though most of you would know by now. Some of my favourite artists: Kavinsky: Cluster Buster Miami Nights 1984: Action Jackson: Power Glove: Anyone else into this kind of music? You better be! PS: Cluster Buster's "Maniac 1980" is 2014's best album so far. Inspired by different 80's films, you just gotta love it. Amazing album!

Satan's Satyrs - Black Souls 7" (transparent yellow vinyl på Trash King Productions) And a Satan's Satyrs tshirt: Received both a couple of days back.

Not sure if there's any fans of Sigh around here at all, but a demo version of Out of the Grave can be heard here Incredible! Imense! Massive! Amazing! Awesome! Jesus, what a song!

Ah, thanks for the info. My mistake.

That's because they don't all sound the same. Not even close. Take this , this, this and this and compare them to eachother. They don't really sound the same at all.

A, cool. I thought they had disbanded a long time ago. How much have they released? Their first couple of releases were amazing. I guess I should get a hold on their material again. Not sure if you're hinting to the fact that I should write a bands' name the same way they stylize it, but I don't do that.

And this is the reason? He was ill for one day, so they fired him because of that? If that's the reason, then yes, it was horrible. But even if they use the word "fired", it can still have been a mutual agreeement. I wouldn't know. Have they written more than what's in the OP? A longer statement? Which Licker is this btw? For some reason I get the feeling this is another Licker than the one I know.

Daaaamn, boy. That's a great list! Your best (in my eyes) till now. Every films mentioned is pure gold. Respect, my brotha' from anotha' mutha'! And you gotta watch the original Psycho. It's brilliant, man.

I'm having a guess on Night of the Living Dead and Psycho. Maybe The Devil Rides Out as well. Now I'm excited to see if I am spot on or note.

C'mon boys and girls, let's do the 60's! I've been waiting for this decade because it was such a massive one with directors taking different types of horror films to a whle new level never seen before and so on. 1. Night of the Living Dead There had been zombie films before this one, but George A. Romero took the whole zombie subgenre onto a new level of madness and revolutionized the whole genre. The whole film is so dark and grim, and you just can't deny the fact that this is one of the best horror films ever. #2 on my all time horror list, and with good reason. 2. Psycho This is Alfred Hitchcock at his best, and that says it all. Psychological horror which is all about the suspense, and the master of suspense himself didn't fail anyone. Such a great film, such an important film and such a revolutionary film. We all know the shower scene, don't we? 3. Onibaba One of the most overlooked horror films ever. The most part of this film is in fact a historical drama, and there is very little actual horror here. But there little horor we get, is some of the best, the scariest and most shockingly good horror ever catched with a camera. Eerie as fuck to be honest. It's a beautifuly shot film that's visually striking, and the cinematography is insanely good. Do watch, if you haven't done so already. 4. Blood and Black Lace This giallo film by Mario Bava isn't just one of the earliest and most influential of all giallo films, also to the slasher genre, but also the best giallo ever made. The flair and style almost makes this a classic on its own. It's so insanely good and well-made you can't miss it. Claustrophobic, erotic and thrilling are the keywords here. 5. Viy This is the first ever Soviet horror film and was made in 67. This film contains some of the coolest special effects you'll ever see in cinema, especially considering the budget and how minimalistic this film as a whole is. Why this film hasn't become more know is beyond me. Masterpiece! 6. Kwaidan This is a Japanese anthology horror film consisting of four shorter films called "The Black Hair", "The Woman of the Snow", "Hoichi the Earless" and "In a Cup of Tea". The titles says all you need to know about this film. It's a massive one, and one of these stories will scare you shitless. I'm not saying which though. 7. Black Sabbath Another anthology horror film, but this time consisting of three short films. "The Telephone", "The Wurdalak" and "The Drop of Water" are the three titles, and The Wurdalak has Boris Karloff in it. That alone is more than enough to check this out. But not only does it have Boris Karloff in it, it is directed by Mario Bava and is the film that gave its name to Black Sabbath. Yes, the band. Do you need another reason to check this out? No. 8. Eyes Without a Face This is an atmosheric pice of horror that is almost poetic as it is beautiful and fairytale-like. The whole film is very toned down, yet it still manages to be shocking. Very shocking. The most beautiful film on this list for sure. 9. Black Sunday More Mario Bava. You surprised? Well, you shouldn't be. One of the best film makes in history of horror, and the 60's was his big year. The cinematography, the flair and style, the atmosphere. Jesus, it's all here. It even has Barbara Steele, perhaps the best and most beautiful actress ever, and was her beakthrough film. This is gothic horror at its finest. 10. The Devil Rides Out Christopher Lee! Terence Fisher! Hammer Horror! Now, there you've got three reasons to check this out. What a film!

What exactly do you know about this? Do you even know what kind of health problems it is? If you do not, then you are not one to talk about what's fair and unfair in this situation.

I guess it's fair to say that Suspiria is one of those acquired tasteesque films. It doesn't have the strongest story ever and it doesn't have the most gore. But there's just something magical about it. The cinematography is incredible, and the music, for me, is superb, and together they create this unique atmosphere that's just insanely good. The Fly is pure magic. I love both the 58 and the 86 versions. I think both are brilliant! The effects and make-up are amazing.

If one expect a straight up horror film I can sure understand people's disappointment. But I liked its satirical take on the horror genre, and how it played around with all the cliches in the genre, especially from the last 20 years onward. But everyone's etitled their own opinion. But if the only horrors you've found good the last few years is The Woman In Black, Evil Dead, You're Next and Paranormal Activity I strongly suggest you to try more horror films. There's been so many good horror films lately IMO. Here's my awesome list of horrors from the last 5 years that's worth seeing (I also added some "genres" in case some of it might be up your alley. Left those you already mentioned out though): 9/10: The House of the Devil ("proto"-slasher, "satanic panic" horror) Les nuits rouges du bourreau de jade aka Red Nights (neo-giallo) 8/10: The Lords of Salem (psychedelic satanic 70's throwback horror) Tucker & Dale vs. Evil (horror comedy) Frankenstein's Army (found-footage horror-sci-fi) Insidious (supernatural horror) Thirst (vampire horror) Bedevilled (horror/thriller) Piranha 3D (horror comedy) Frankenweenie (horror comedy) The Innkeepers (haunted house horror) Julia's Eyes (neo-giallo) 7/10: Amer (neo-giallo) Insidious: Chapter 2 (supernatural horror) Chillerama (horror comedy) Berberian Sound Studio (neo-giallo) Secuestrados (home invasion) The Revenant (horror comedy) Warm Bodies (romantic horror comedy) The Awakening (haunted house horror) And many more, but I just took the most "important" ones now. The House of the Devil is the bestout of these. It's close to being a 10/10 for me, and one of my all time favourite horror films. Top 5 for sure. Everything about it, except for the trash cans, SCREAMS late 1970's. How the film is shot, the effects, the soundtrack, the cinematography and the story just can't get any more 70's. Exceptionally good film!

Woah, look, Jigsyboy, a new face! How nice! I can't say I agree with your opinion on either The Conjuring or The Cabin in the Woods, though. But as I love watching and talking about horror films it's good to see someone "new" here. The more, the better. What was it that you didn't like about The Cabin in the Woods? I know a lot of people who found it disappointing, but they all had the wrong impression of the film before they watched it and expected something else than what they got. It's a very fresh film. The films' weakest point to me was its poor CGI. It was just really bad. But I enjoyed it a lot ayway. Fun as fuck.

I think I've only seen the first one, but that one's very good. I'm a huge fan of slashers and all that, but I don't think I can think of a single seuel that is on par with the original one. I can think of many goof sequels though. A shitload in fact.

Yeah. The first one is the only must-see one. It's often like that with these slashers, even though many of them have plenty of good sequels. But they never top the originals. Can't think of anyone that did. Kinda weird. Also, are me and Jigsaw the only ones so much into horror we think this is funny? C'mon guys, join the fun. Doesn't matter if you only like one, five or even zero. Just come talk. Do you see anything interesting in our lists? Talk! Come the fuck on!

Jesus, I forgot about The Chainsaw Texas Massacre. It deserves a spot on my list, but so does Black Christmas, Piranha, Dawn of the Dead, The Wicker Man, The Omen and so on. It's too hard to leave out films like these, because they all deserves a spot. As for Halloween, there should never have been made any sequels as they do ruin some of the mysticisim of Myers and stuf, but since they are already made you should have a go at a few of them. Halloween II ain't too bad, and Halloween III: Season of the Witch is a great film, but should never have been released under the Halloween moniker as it doesn't have Michael Myers, Laurie Strode or Samuel Loomis. Halloween was supossed to be a anthology series with new storyies for each films, but the fans wanted more Myers, so they got more Myers. But as a stand-alone film, this film is quite good. Had it been successful, the fourth would have been a ghost story. Halloween H20: 20 Years Later is also pretty good, and it's a direct sequel to the original film in the series. Worth seeing for sure. But Halloween III: Season of the Witch is the second best.

Hvor i landet er du bosatt, om jeg tør spørre?

I couldn't find a "last game you played through" thread, so I'll take it here: Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Ok, so the gameplay isn't all that exciting here, though it gives you a lot of freedom and that's always a good thing. But this is a neon game. Filled with bright colors, a cheesy 80's actionfilm story and humor from the... 80's, just like in 80's action films. It's a pretty absurd story, but it's visually stunning and beyond fun. It was also very fitting seeing as I had been in a 80's neonlight mode lately, watching neon-noir film and enjoying myself to death. And the soundtrack by Power Glove is nothing short of breathtaking. And it all ends with Dragon Sound's "Friends", from the awesomeness that is Miami Connection. Brilliant! Have to add that the ending of the game is the most simple ending in the history of video games, but it was hilarious. Laughed until I started crying. Great work! 9/10 Shank 2-d side-scrolling beat 'em up game, which just happens to be my cup of tea. The gameplay does get repetive, but in a game like that I don't mind that. It's so much fun. The cutscenes are amazing and the art style is fantastic. 8/10 Shank 2 This is the same as the first one, just way better and more creative. Do I need to say more? Nah you get it. 8,5/10

Yeah, they are helping the players way too much, as if the majority of the players were kids. I understand that, but seeing as these games are like a playable film, I can understand that they go that way in one way. But I would still like to have two-three different routes on a lot of the places with different level to it. Would've added a whole new dimension to the game. But the most annying thing is how programmed the fights are, and that you have basically no freedom in the fights. Why the hell are they doing that? I don't get it at all. This kind of shit needs to be dropped.

I'm not a fan of Triptykon meself, but you should check out Celtic Frost's last album. Triptykon is more or less a continuation of that one, just a bit more gothic. If you like Triptykon I am sure you'll like that. I love old Celtic Frost though. 85-85 were fabolous, and I even like the avant-garde album Into the Pandemonium, even though it was a huge step down from the previous albums. After that they wanted to become famous and rich and went on to lay glam. They didn't make it. Awful. And the demo they did in 2002, Prototype, are one of the worst things I've ever heard. So bad I have to listen to it now and then. I love love the "pre-Celtic Frost" band Hellhammer. Fantastic band. Rotten to the core and so on. I can't find it now, but I saw an old flyer from back in the mid 80's where Celtic Frost searched a musician. And they actually lived of playing rotten, ugly black metal and if you got picked, you'd live there for free and shit. That's pretty insane considering how it is today. You can't play anything ugly or rotten today if you want to live off your music. But back then. Funny.

I think the 70's was a brilliant year for horror, especially Italian horror. But the true slashers were born in form of Black Christma and Halloween, animal horror got HUGE with Jaws and Piranha and you got claustrophobic horror in a spaceship that scared you shitless for a year in form of Alien. The 70's were great and this was way harder than I had expected. 1. Halloween What can I say about this film that has not been said yet? Nothing. Nothing at all. This is one of the best examples on how bloody brilliant a low-budget, b-film can actually be. While not being the first slasher film ever, this sure as fuck sat the examples and made the "rules" that would be used to death the next decade. One of the most important horror films ever, and one of my all time favourites. This is THE film to watch on halloween eve. All hail John Carpenter, both the director and musician. The soundtrack is half the fun here. 2. Profondo Rosso aka Deep Red This is one of Dario Argento's best films, and a überclassic giallo film. The camera work in this film is absolutely gorgeous, the sets are artsy and are the soundtrack is almost too good, made by Goblin of course. While not my all time favourite giallo, it's up there with the best for sure. 3. Alien This film took the word claustrophobic and changed it. The atmoshere, the monster, the acting, the special effects. It's all there. This is still one of the most sacry films ever made. Did I mention it's brilliant? No? Well, it is. Fantastic! 4. Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht Contrary to belief, this is not a remake of Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens. It does lend a lot from that film, especially the look of Count Dracula, but it is just another film based of the novel, and one of the best there is. Not as good as Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens, but it's up there with the others. Dark and grim. A must see for anyone interested in vampires. 5. Zombi 2 Lucio Fulci, the master of gore made this in the late 70's and it was shocking. Gory, bloody and grim as fuck. This one was pretty far out at the time, and while not at shocking now, still bloody fucking awesome. My favourite Lucio Fulci film by far! 6. Suspiria More Dario Argento, and more Goblin. The colours are rich, the direction are brilliant and the atmosphere is amazing. Oh, and the soundtrack, man. God damn! Witch! Witch! Witch! Witch! Shieeeeeeet! Atmosphere! I was lucky enough to get to watch this on the big screen a few weeks ago and it added such a dimension to the film. 7. The Exorcist How good is this film? Almost too good. To me this film is all about atmosphere, and the atmosphere is bloody amazing in this one and it is filled with memorable lines and scenes. Top notch! 8. Jaws I bet a lot kids had problems jumping into the water for a long time after watching this. That kinda says it all, doesn't it? I remember I was scared shitless after watching this as a kid. The shark looks fantastic, the direction is amazing and it's still a bit frightening to be honest. Fucking sharks, man. 9. Tombs of the Blind Dead The most underrated and overlooked film on the list. This Sanish film is beyond awesome, and it deserves so much more. The use of noises in the soundtrack, the look of the Blind Dead and the atmosphere is top notch. Check it out, as well as its sequels which are all good. Oh, and the Finnish doom/death metal band Hooded Menace bases a lot of their songs on these films. Fantastic band! 10. Hausu Surreal horror with some of the coolest special effects you'll ever see on screen. They were made to look unrealistic, as if a child had made them, and they still look unique and original even to this day. Some of the special effects they didn't even know the look of until the film was completed, and many of them did not end up as expected. It was a huge experiment, and a great one too. This film is a must see if you're into weird horror flicks. As usual I took a look at my IMDB so I mut have forgotten some films that I haven't given a score yet. But it'll look something like this for sure.

I'm playing Uncharted 3 as well. Getting near the end now. I'm a bit disappointed. I'm getting so tired of this kind of gameplay. "Press X! Press THIS! Pess THAT!! Seriously? And it gets so fucking easy because every single place you're gonna climb and do this and do that are highlighted, so you spot them at once. And the riddles and shit have been way too easy. Finished them all on my first move. That sucks. And the fights are awful. They're all more or less the same. HIT HIT HIT, USH THIS, PUSH THAT, HIT, PUSH THAT, HIT HIT HIT! Finished. Again, again and again. They've got a great Indiana Jones-feeling as with the other two games as well, and I've gotten som The Mummy-feeling (reboots) which I also like. That's probably the reason why I'm finishing it as well, because the gameplay is pretty boring. Sadly, as I love both the first ones. But I doubt I'll love them as much now if I replayed them. :/

Just because you save someone from being raped, doesn't mean you can't rape yourself. That goes for about everything in real life. It's possible, and it happens in real life too. I don't see the big problem here. By the way, anyone read what George R.R. Martin said about it himself? Essentially, he says that it’s unclear in the book scene whether Jaime rapes Cersei or not, as the scene is told from Jaime’s point of view, and is therefore only one side of the story. Not that it matters though. He wouldn't know shit as he probably didn't even read the books after they were released. ROFL! Loooooser! He might be lying though. I wouldn't know. But I am not so sure the scene was meant as rape either. Deep inside herself Cersei seemed to want it to be honest. The way she kisses him back like a monster and even puts her legs around him suggests that she wants it a bit, doesn't it? She's trying to resist, but can't. No oen else got this feeling from the scene?

Velkommen.
