OK,first off I gotta say I thought I was the only person ever,that not only saw Mean Guns but enjoyed it .Thats kinda an obscure movie,and I never expected to see it on this list,I applaud you.
And what is "The Messenger"? I have not heard of that one.
Oh and Tessa.......Hanson?
- Tessa - 06-09-2004
Yes, Hanson...they have always been wrongly categorized with boy bands, and their last two albums don't sound anything like their first one (Which was scary bubblegum pop).
~Tessa~
hahahaa! - TheBeyonder - 06-09-2004
I actually admire you for being brave enough to post that here. I have never listened to Hanson,but I respect your right to like anything you want (even if it is Hanson).
I will download a couple of their new songs,and see if they have actually grown to be real musicians. I am a huge music fan(1500CDs and 2300MP3s)and pop is typically not on my playlists.But if it's good music,it's good music,and I'll listen to it. We all have our guilty pleasure band we like,but most of us just keep them to ourselves(until we get caught dancing to Britney in our bed room.) :oopsy:
hahaha.
TheBeyonder
-Oom Bop!
- Tessa - 06-09-2004
Lol, the song I really reccomend downloading is 'Broken Angel'...and yeah, I figured I'd just go all bratty if somebody decided to ostracize me for what I like.
~Tessa~
- Enchantress - 06-09-2004
Be careful there... cause then, someone could say you're "Infected" with the Hanson bug :-)
But then again..you're user title says it all..
mwahahaha!
Ok, back on to the topic!

Hanson is a very underrated and much miscatagorized band. They're cool in my book.
Local, which Thing? Howard Hawkes or John Carpenter? Two completely different flicks but I gotta admit to loving both for vastly different reasons. And, have you read the short story "Who Goes There?" that they are both based on? Man, it's cool. :-)
I gotta agree that Mean Guns is a good one, but, Truth, which film called The Messenger? There have been many.
Glenn
- The Truth - 06-10-2004
The one with Milla Jovovich.
Click the link I provided if you're still fuzzy on which is which.

I love both versions of The Thing too. The original for it's (cheesy now) effects but great tension and inventiveness. The Carpenter version for it's splatterness and great ensemble cast.
