Lately I've been getting back into classic animations when I stumbled upon Martin Rosen's works. His first movie was an adaptation of Richard Adams' Watership Down. It was an incredibly dark and violent movie, but it was extremely good. The plot was biblical, but original; and the lead characters were very well crafted/developed with very talented voice actors to back them up. Though it was pretty morbid at times, it was excellent. So then I checked out his next movie, another Richard Adams' adaptation called The Plague Dogs. HOLY CRAP!! This is even darker than Watership Down. Everything that was good about his last movie is still there, but this movie is so sad and depressing that it actually hurts to watch. I have never cried while watching a movie, but the ending left me really darn close. I highly recommend both movies, but I also recommend caution if you plan on watching the Plague Dogs because it is really deep. If you own a dog, you might want it on stand-by because I guarantee you will want to give it a hug by the time the movie is over. And check out the novels too! Watership Down, the book, is much better than the movie!

Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
VinTheAttendant replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^Lol. I've seen posts on Youtube videos of SFMM's Deja Vu where people say that it's being moved to the UK. Speaking of Six Flags New England, my coworker told me this funny experience she encountered one time at Catwoman's Whip. The park had been closed for maybe about 10 minutes and so my coworker was going through her after-hours checklist in the operator's booth. She then heard voices of two young men coming from the other side of the wall. She couldn't understand what they were talking about, but she heard one of them say, "Just do it right here, nobody's looking." Finally, she peaks around the wall and sees the two guys urinating in the bushes. So she picks up the microphone and in the silence of night yells, "Stop peeing on my ride!" The two boys fled instantly. -

Darien Lake making a bonfire out of Predator and nobody brought s'mores! What's worse than walking home one night when three ninjas suddenly ambush you? -
Wicked Twister, S:EFK is just a one-trick pony Would you rather watch your favorite movie by yourself or watch a SYFY movie with a group of friends (or TPR chat)?

I'm trying to write my freaking Humanities paper, and usually nights in my neighborhood are generally quiet. Of course everyone picks the night I write my paper to be as loud as they can. I've got neighbors hammering something, an ice cream truck that won't leave or shut off its music, a dog barking, a guy telling the dog to shut up, multiple drunk people screaming nonsense, police sirens going back and forth, people driving by slowly blaring rap music, neighbors creating beats on their porches and attempting to rap, people honking their horns multiple times in front of the same housing and yelling to get their friend's attention, a child crying, my roommate cheering on his football team in the other room, and a helicopter flying obnoxiously low above my apartment periodically. What's weird is that I tend to get all of these noises at night, but NEVER AT THE SAME TIME! Time to pop in the headphones and listen to the sweet sound of nothing.

Vacuum cracks. I've had to work with a power washer, those things are not easy to lug around. Would you rather get assignments done the moment they are announced or wait until the last minute?

Because of Rosh Hashana, my professor cancelled her class this morning and I get to sleep in. Unfortunately, my body is used to waking up at its usual time and I've got nothing to do until 3:30. -
The height limit is 6'4" so you should be allowed on the ride. There is a test seat at the front of the ride that actually indicates if you are safe or not. Just a tip, if the restraint doesn't go down to the safety zone, slide your knees forward a bit. It won't be like riding in a lazy-boy, but it's a very fun ride.

Cedar Point not doing that What's worse than accidentally donating money to a scam organization? -
Yes and no. I've been on Bizarro, and I've been on El Toro, but I have not been on T-Express which tied for first. So I rode a first place woodie, just not both. Do you currently have a song stuck in your head?

An Uwe Boll movie (and seriously DarienLaker, did Pandemonium kick you when you were a baby or something? WTF?) What's worse than the power going out just as you are printing out your term paper? -
Run non-stop. Running is easier and I can't drown if I pass out Would you rather give high fives to all of your Facebook friends (one lined up right after the other) or hug a complete stranger for five seconds?

What's the worst station you've been in
VinTheAttendant replied to tribar's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Worst for originality, either Nitro or Green Lantern both at SFGAdv. Worst for function, Batman: The Dark Knight at SFNE (the only B&M floorless I've been on where you cannot choose your own seat), Batwing at SFA (really confusing with Flashpass and is way too small). Worst to work in, Thunderbolt at SFNE (it's frustrating...simple as that) -
Nope, I'm a dog person (btw, sorry about your vodca 154bmag ) Do you do your own laundry?
