Frailty (2001) - MAJOR SPOILERS

I watched this for the first time last night. I went into it having no idea what it was about. I mainly watched it for Bill Paxton. Anyway, I have some problems with the ending.

I thought the movie was great when it was about a demented lunatic having his sons help him kill innocent people in the name of God. But by having the twist be that everything the father said was true, I feel that the movie kind of comes off as being pro religious fanaticism. As a rational atheist, I find that to be little irresponsible. I mean what are we supposed to take away from this? That you shouldn't question any hallucinations that you receive from "God"?

Do I have a point here, or am I overthinking what is just supposed to be a creepy fictional story?

Happy Easter

Howling II: Your Sister Is A Werewolf

Not a very good movie. But if you want to check out werewolf movies then the Howling sequels are kind of at least a complete viewing sequence.

Probably not the most fun Reb Brown movie as that would probably be Yor, Hunter From The Future.

Anyway the real star is Christopher Lee.

I once went to Warsaw on a train with Iggy Pop...

bowie/bowie however you pronounce it



i'm in a scary acve with bats...thats lovely thank you brian

The Horror Board!!

What a concept. I tried to emulate it (and imdb), but it only goes so far. A lot of our topics on TE aren't necessarily horror. Not that I mind, and I think nobody does, but we always tend to gravitate towards horror and exploitation because it's so bad-ass. It has all of our darkest desires, and it rocks! I get all my recommendations from you guys, and I love you for it.

Honestly, I still can't believe IMDB killed itself. I loved those goddamn boards, and it'll never be the same now! Today, I added board link support to imdbArchives and MovieChat, just because. Zed's board is doing so-so at the moment. I wouldn't mind if we could merge with some of that traffic, but it ain't up to me.

Horror is an offbeat genre, and I wish we could get more appreciation. There aren't any amazing horror/exploitation forums out there. What gives?

Off-topic, but we need some alcoholism emoticons!

Bastard!

sorry, i'm a bit bored... Bottom is exceleny purile fun tho!

The History, Thus Far

Most internet forums have a whole board for new users to introduce themselves. I don't think a whole board is required, but here in the likes of you obviously open-minded individuals lingering on a website that's apparently devoted to 'trash' (and I solute you for that), I feel we should all be okay with divulging a few dirty little details about our past, not just for an intro thread, but whenever even. Nobody ever knows what's going on in your head unless you express your thoughts, and as a paranoid recluse, I've never been able to do that very well, but here goes.

---

I'm not a very social person. I don't go to school, I don't hang out with "friends", I don't drink, I don't drive, I don't fuck, I don't play video games, I don't watch tv, I don't follow sports, I don't listen to new music, and I don't know why I don't believe me, but I don't even know how to write or read. Well... the first nine don'ts are true, at least.

I'm exceptionally ignorant on many things, and I live in Texas, so I figured I'd be a white trash idiot and I picked up a loaded bowl, and suddenly... I wanted to get my thoughts out, and work towards something. This isn't to say that I've done absolutely nothing with the 25 years I've been on this earth, but rather to present the ideas I've had from the simple few things I did do in my life: watch movies, go to work, and jerk off.

In watching movies (and anything else, for that matter), I've educated myself on action and consequence. I've seen enough horror movies to be wary of my surroundings, and know that I must treat people with enough respect so they wont snap and go on killing sprees. In fact, that's why I love movies so much. You can experience all walks of life and never take a single step.

To say you've led a fulfilling life is all you can hope for when you're getting eaten by your death bed. In my life, the only things I've left behind were a few uninspired stories and song lyrics I'd written in my teenage years. I say uninspired because I'm clearly far too influenced by certain films, artists, and people to the point where I debate to myself whether or not I have a voice of my own, or if I'm just another inferior homage to something greater that came out far before my time. Still, if I can't do it better, I can still do it my best, so I began to flesh my ideas, stories, and lyrics out over the past 8 years and I've build up this grand vision of an ongoing horror movie hippie commune drive-in theater that's taken over my mind, and become my obsession.

I've always wanted to do more with my life, but I could never find the right means of doing any of it. I began learning web coding in 2009 I believe, but I never knew what to do with it. Not until the summer of smoke in 2013 did I get the obvious revelation that I was to merge all of my thoughts and ideas into one central theme in order to mentally unclutter my life, and see things clearly. People need something to believe in. I was always drawn to horror, which was a genre that encompassed so many sub-themes (and with varying degrees of quality), that avid viewers of these films are bound to come around to a grander cinematic scope, because any good horror film should also be a good film in general, and the best horror films (the ones that will be remembered) are made by people who know their film, but emulated by everyone.

I've never had much of anything in my life, save for the dvds I bought, and my unoriginal ideas. I've come to realize that originality can't be forced, but you can always go into something with enough heart that it just might catch on. If it's based on a winning formula that resonates with you, just remember that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I began plotting and writing stories that were heavily inspired by the aspects I enjoyed about each decade of film: vampires and Frankenstein monsters of the 30s... werewolves and monster mashes of the 40s... body snatchers, things, and blobs of the 50s... Hammer, hippies, drugs, gore, and classy gothic horror tv of the 60s... disco, exploitation, Italian sleaze, cult trash, and slashers of the 70s... deadites, Troma, horror icons, and sequels of the 80s... and finally, white trash and hopelessness in the 90s...

I took all of my ideas and built this website to host them, promote them, and most importantly, gather the audience to not only watch them, but be part of them too. In this day and age, you can never expect to accomplish something new and groundbreaking, because someone else has already done it and monopolized it. I realize Trash Epics may never have a large fanbase, but it doesn't need one either. As long as I have a few active users on this site, that'll mean the world to me, because it is my world.

Sayin'?
