I'd suggest a review of Dead Alive, because the Rat Monkey > *, and come on...it's Peter Jackson! EDIT: Had an interesting take on how words should be spelled that I took care of.

Haha, Reno 911! is great. At first I thought it was terrible, but I was vacationing in the States (before it was on the Comedy Network in Canada), so I watched it pretty much every night, due to nothing else being on, and it grew on me to the point where I've collected most of the first season on tape now. Anyways, the Halloween episode...I saw it, but I seriously don't remember it even saying TO BE CONTINUED at the end, and if it did, I figure it was just along the lines of a Simpsons Halloween, where things don't affect the rest of the season (otherwise a number of the main characters might be dead right now...). I don't know, though, I'll need to check if I taped that one when it was on... Solid show, though. P.S. To anyone who has seen it, would you agree that Tee-Tee is some pretty damn funny stuff right there?

For whatever reason, I was never really into the Harry Potter movies (probably just too much hype), but I'll probably end up seeing this one. Saw the last one pretty much for Kenneth Branagh, because he's awesome, and I'd pay to see the new one because of Gary Oldman. Appearantly, this latest one is also much darker than the previus two, which is always a good thing. Probably going to see this as soon as I can find someone else who'd be willing to, which might be a bit trickier than it sounds... Dyko

There are going to be spoilers below (much like the ones above) I agree with everything that people have said here...great build-up and special effects, but not much else. The whole wolf things really seemed tacked on because someone decided they needed more peril, and figured disturbingly computer generated wolves were the way to go. Seriously, they were a few of notches above bad CG, but not *quite* at perfectly realistic, so I just found them to look really wierd. Also, I laughed quite a bit at Dragonheart throwing his buddy down that hole when they were escaping the evil temperature...the way he was dropped, it looked like he pretty much gave him a death valley driver through an air vent, which is money in my books. The whole running from the cold thing in the library really bothered me as well, just because they had already established that this cold is enough to flash-freeze helecopter fuel, and people, so it just seemed really wierd that they were able to close an old set of wooden doors to stop the cold from getting them. I understand they had a fire going and all that, but still... One other thing that made me chuckle...I remember in Independance Day, not once in the movie did they mention Canada, so clearly I came to the conclusion that the aliens left us alone. After seeing the Day After Tommorow, as far as I can tell, Canada was pretty much whiped out, eh? There was never any "The storm will hit Canada in 7-10 days" it was all "The wort part of the storm will be making its way down from Canada soon". I found that pretty funny. Dyko

This seems like a pretty decent storyline idea, and like a lot of other people here, I think a lot of it is gonna depend on the quality of the writing. One thing I'm not too sure about is the ending part...like what happens after he dials the number. Reading it, it seems like the actual Earth, with everyone in it becomes taken over by Hell, and then by the end, after Satan is defeated, the entire world turns to religion? I'm not really sure if I like that, just because it seems a little too broad and epic for me... An alternative, just off the top of my head, would be maybe having something like Bryan becomes a changed man after all this happens, and accepts religion into his life, without it neccessarily being an event that affected the entire world, you know? Like maybe have him win, then it flashes back to the hobo standing in front of him at the church, but instead of asking him for change, the hobo just keeps on walking (so it's like all of this happened as a 'what if?', and Bryan ends up back at the exact moment that he made that initial decision). You can still have the hobo be God, and then it is more of a re-familiarizing-people-with-religion-on-a-personal-basis kind of thing. Maybe even have it end with another person being approached by the hobo, and once again being asked if they beleive in god? Definately keep us ut-to-date on how this goes, because it seems rather interesting. On a side note, in third semsester, i took an advanced script writing course and came up with a script that I am so proud of...it takes place in the First World War, and without going into TOO much detail, involves a medieval undead army rising up on the battlefield between the trenches, slaughtering most of the German and English soldiers in their respective trenches, causing the survivors to join together to survive and defeat the undead. I actually based it on the story of that Christmas day in WWI, where both sides came up from their trenches and palyed football/soccer together. The story may sound a bit stupid, but don't worry (because I know that you all are...), I actually researched stuff and found a place that was the site of bth medieval AND WWI battles, and the first act pretty much details the medival side of the story, and how the general was betrayed and so his army rises every 100 years...blah-blah-blah. All-in-all, I just wanted to write about skeletons, wearing armor, carrying axes, riding their skeleton horses, and being shot at by German and English WWI soldiers, because, damnit, there isn't enough of that shit going down these days. Anyways, sorry about the long tangent, I am tired...so...yeah, veg, what I said in the first half. EDIT: Forgot to add my name! Dyko (that's the stuff...)
