    yup it is a cool word. nearly finished for the day. off to have a swim, suffer in the sauna for a bit, then meal, and copious amounts of beer. ps you should really watch Iron Monkey (1993) it's absolutely fantastic!

    Which one you watched, original version or a remake?

    There was a rumour that Rob Zombie would release director's cut after his second movie is finished, but I haven't found any confirmation for that. It's a shame, "normal version"'s cuts are really noticeable even by bare eyes and I think movie had definitely been lot better in it's original form. I've always liked Rob Zombie's visualistic style and Ho1000C was even creepier than his music videos, so I can just imagine what kind of disgusting things were removed...

    Just Have seen "The War of the Worlds", shallow, no story, badly made in all aspects except sound etc. etc. etc
    Looks especially bad after you see superb, exceptionally well made Batmen :))

    CREAKY - did you work 12 years, 12 hr shift with no holidays ?!!! did you have weekends off ??

    i really thought that war of the worlds would have been good, looks like steven speilburg is losing it, his last movie minority report wasnt that good either.

    @oxygen - yeah i had holidays and time off between shifts, can't remember how it worked now, something like 4days or nights on in a row, then 3 off etc, then 3 or 4days on, 1or2 days off, then i think it was 4days on, then an 8day break, and round it went again. But we had to work some weekends in every month and ALL bank holidays were worked. But it destroys any social life/crap for your health. I've been doing normal office hours for 5yrs now, it took about 2yrs for my body to get used to normal hours.


    others - as to the newer version of Italian Job, Charlize Theron was the only good thing about that movie, the movie itself was a pointless film really, nothing special about it all

    naw, the UK. i was in Computer Operations, most of that time in a UK financial (loans) company, the last few years were in a German Bank, boy was it a strict place!. But it was all worth it to get into a day job in Support.

    When i get back to the UK i have the urge to watch Monty Python's Holy Grail, and want to watch Iron Monkey again

    Just saw a preview for The Devils Rejects. I read Lions Gate is so please with it they're planning their largest theatrical release to date of about 2500 to 3000 theaters. That's 6 times what HO1000C had. Maybe this one will live up to the Zombie name.....

    I guess you would find his albums under rock/hard rock in the music store. He puts on a h3ll of a show, saw him twice, giagantic props and 60ft flames so hot it feels like it's gonna melt your face off- the works. He also directs his own videos. You can check out a little of his work here if you want:

    Forgot to mention he used to play in the band White Zombie

    Rob Zombie is really good, he plays a different variety of hard rock/metal stuff. Some songs are played on the radio, and others are hardcore weird.
