[Norrin_Radd]

Hey Fuelman,

 

Where do you guys get all your cool comic and other avs from? Is there some capture software out there or a webpage or...?

 

Thanks

Everyday is Horror for me...pun intended

Anyone plan on a temporary October Avatar with a Horror theme? What with Halloween coming up?

 

 

Now that is sick.

 

I can live with that.

 

You have issues bono.

 

I wish I had more issues. ASM#1-10 in NM, for example.

I was just about to eat, but am suddenly not hungry.

 

I am starving. I think I'll go eat some pumpkin seeds. I hear they calm the queasy stomach.

How about a nice greasy pork sandwich, served up in a dirty ashtray?

I am offended by that image. But not in the way you think. Such represents the disturbing trend of the more modern "gross-out factor". Basically, just show gore, blood etc.

 

Now to me, a really cool gross-out factor, or perhaps better, shock-factor, was achieved in the opening sequence of MURDERS IN THE ZOO, where we see a longish shot, in the African jungle, of a man lying on the ground and people apparantly "attending to him", but a voice suggests certain behavior on the prone one's part must not be condoned.

 

Well, the man rises to his feet and stumbles towards the camers, during which time you realize his arms are tied behind him. As he approaches for a tight close-up, it is seen that his mouth has been crudely sewn shut with very a coarse twine. We do not see his fate - there is no need to see him being disembowled by a jungle beast. This sequence has far more impact. By the way, this filmed in 1933! Now THAT'S horror!

Now THAT'S horror!

 

or meeting you in real life.

Dagnabbit, I love this avatar... but it's grainier than the folds in Greggy's thighs after a day at the beach!
