sci fi RP logs and slasher movie dvd box sets
13 years ago
i just cleaned up a logfile for 
chaz-fox's roleplay. in case people were interested, here's a link to our in-progress log library.
nerds only
speaking of nerds only you can get a friday the 13th four-movie widescreen DVD box set for 10bux in the store right now. it has the first, second and third movies plus the final chapter (which i don't think is actually part 4? my memories of the timeline get vague after part 3d.).
for the most part it's kinda a generic unexciting box set that just has some new commentary and stuff EXCEPT the third movie (part THREE DEE) actually has the 3d footage still on it. and the box set comes with two sets of 3d glasses so you can watch it. i'm not talking new wave 3d i'm talking the old red & blue stuff.
really it looks EXACTLY THE SAME as modern 3d with the only difference being all the colour is slightly off. this technology has not evolved very far. it gives you the same huge amount of eye strain and mega headache. i mean man here i am like nearly 10 hours later and my eyes STILL feel like someone just stood there punching me in the retna for two hours
which is basicly what happened
it's still neat though! this is the first time since part 3d left theatres that people have been able to watch it in 3d. i've always loved part 3d cause it was utterly bonkers outta nowhere pointless fun :o and now it's even more so because OH MAN ITS COMING RIGHT AT ME WHOAAAAAA *reaches for the screen*
it's totally worth spending 10bux on, though, no joke. if you like friday the 13th or just wanted a good place to jump into the francise you can't do much better.

First 3-D movie I ever saw was shown at one of those art-house theaters. It was a limited re-release of Alfred Hitchcock's Dial M for Murder.
What was really great though, was the feature was preceded by a 3 Stooges short that was in 3-D too! It was the one where the boys are working in an auto repair garage. When they start throwing tools and spraying thick streams of grease, I really did want to duck.
Now for the obsure technology that never caught on. Smell-o-rama. It was a one-time gag on Futurama, but around 1960 some guy patented a television set which would produce odors to match the scene. It had something like 60 cannisters of scent and I think it was designed to combine the contents so that you would get a gargillion distinct odors.
There was one deliberately ironic revival of smell-o-rama. Remember me yakking about director John Waters and that movie Polyester? When it ran in the theaters, you got a scratch-n-sniff card with numbered squares. When the number flashed on the corner of the screen, you were supposed to scratch and smell that number.
Being early John Waters, there were many gross-out scenes, so you were treated to scents like vomit, skunk, and spoiled food.
How could I pass up a reference to a cartoon in Hustler Magazine.
Guy puts his porn video in the VCR and hangs a dead fish in front of the fan on top of the TV set.
Bunners
I used to enjoy the odd gross-out cartoon in that one.
