Introduce Yourself - October 2004

[TomHarrington]

Hey kids! After a good deal of soul searching, Ryall has decided to call it quits at the Shoot and devote his time entirely to IDW. But there is good news, too: He left me in charge! That’s right, I’m running the show now, my pretties, and you’re all banned!

Just kidding. Ryall likes you guys too much to do something like that. But he has been working many, many, many, many hours and in his fatigued and vulnerable state I was able to convince him to let me come up with the questions this month. My suggestion was that every month new forum members take a shot at the questions. If my rubbish here doesn’t sour everyone on the idea, I’d like to see it. Now, Answer the questions and don't wait for the translation.

1) What are your expectations of Peter Jackson’s King Kong remake?

2 )Are you still haunted by Janet Jackson’s nipple?

3) Are you holding your breath for the release of the Criterion Collection edition of Action Jackson?

4) Is presidential candidate John Kerry actually the reanimated corpse of former President Andrew Jackson?

5) Samuel L. Jackson?

[TLS]

That's sad about Ryall. I was just getting to know him. O'well, I'm sure you'll do a great job. Congrats. Those questions are kinda weird, but I'll give them a shot.
1.) Someone's re-makeing it!
2.) Missed it. (I was probably the only one on earth who didn't see it)
3.) Apparently not, because I didn't know about that either.
4.) Sounds like a plausable theory.
5.) Ooh, I know this one. Four!

[Matt1]

1) What are your expectations of Peter Jackson’s King Kong remake? No expectations yet. Except that it be good.

2 ) Are you still haunted by Janet Jackson’s nipple? It stalks me in my dreams to this day.

3) Are you holding your breath for the release of the Criterion Collection edition of Action Jackson? You have to have a reason to hold your breath?

4) Is presidential candidate John Kerry actually the reanimated corpse of former President Andrew Jackson? Yes. But since zombies subsist entirely on brains, the secret service feels confidently assured of the President's safety.

5) Samuel L. Jackson?
Definitely.

[Ryall]

It's nice to be on this end of things...

1) What are your expectations of Peter Jackson’s King Kong remake?

I expect The ape to be a bit too sympathetic and Jack Black to mug for the camera a bit too much, and yet I expect Peter Jackson to make it all work well anyway.

2 )Are you still haunted by Janet Jackson’s nipple?

I'm more haunted by her music.

3) Are you holding your breath for the release of the Criterion Collection edition of Action Jackson?

Yes, if only for the scintillating commentary with Apollo Creed and Sharon Stone. And so they can explain the difference between Appolonia and Vanity, if there is any.

4) Is presidential candidate John Kerry actually the reanimated corpse of former President Andrew Jackson?

Hard to say--last night was the only time I've ever seen him look even remotely animated.

5) Samuel L. Jackson?

"YES, I"M GLAD THEY'RE DEAD AND I HOPE THEY BURN IN HAY-ILL!"

So who wants to do next month? I nominate Matt1. Or Matthew. Or are they the same person? No, actually, that'll be November, election month. it's got to be Razorback.

Yah, about that post: I may have misunderstood what Tom was writting about. Actually I'm still not sure. Is this some quizz that is given at the begining of each month? Sorry I'm so lost. I haven't made enough time for myself to go back very far in the messageboard. There's so much to read and so little time.

[TomHarrington]

It's not your fault. I was being a jack(son)ass and just playing around. It's become sort of a tradition to have an Introduce Yourself thread with a couple of questions at the beginning of each month. The idea is to provide the government with vital personal information about the site's readership, and also for us to learn a little something about ourselves. I was just funnin' around. Sorry for muddle.

[Ryall]

Yeah, I'd been doing something similar at the start of every month but have just gotten so busy with my other job that I've run out of time, so Tom offered to do 'em this month. So that part he was serious about, but the part about me quitting, that ain't true.

[TLS]

Thanks guys, for clearing it up for me. I appreciate it. I'm trying to pay attention so as not to be an inconsiderate newbie, but I'm just a superpowerless human being, which in case, makes fault inevitable.

[Razorback]

1) What are your expectations of Peter Jackson&amp;#8217;s King Kong remake?

I don't really have any expectations. I have confidence that he knows what he is doing. I actually have a place in my heart for King Kong and I have loved the original and remake since I was a kid.

2 )Are you still haunted by Janet Jackson&amp;#8217;s nipple?

Who?

3) Are you holding your breath for the release of the Criterion Collection edition of Action Jackson?

What?

4) Is presidential candidate John Kerry actually the reanimated corpse of former President Andrew Jackson?

I never even considered the fact that they look alike.

5) Samuel L. Jackson?

Has a great scene in Revenge of the Sith.

[Razorback]

I could do November. It is election month and a big Star Wars month too. /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif Hell, I already have all of my questions ready.

[karmattack]

1) What are your expectations of Peter Jackson’s King Kong remake?

<font color="orange"> Can't really say I have expectations. I think it's promising, it will be exciting, it will make a lot of money and probably be better than the Godzirra remake. </font color>

2 )Are you still haunted by Janet Jackson’s nipple?

<font color="orange"> TRICK QUESTION!! No, I'm not haunted by her metal space pastie. </font color>

3) Are you holding your breath for the release of the Criterion Collection edition of Action Jackson?

<font color="orange"> Got the Colt .45's on ice. </font color>

4) Is presidential candidate John Kerry actually the reanimated corpse of former President Andrew Jackson?

<font color="orange"> No. He's the product of DNA manipulation that crossed Jackson with Lincoln and Brundlefly. Big difference. </font color>

5) Samuel L. Jackson?

<font color="orange"> Got his ass handed to him in that McDowell's. </font color>

Hey, it gives me time to study. I'll break out my starwars trivial pursuit game.

[Ryall]

It's yours--do me a favor, though, and drop me a PM when it's up so I can make it "sticky" in my own special way.

1) What are your expectations of Peter Jackson’s King Kong remake?
I honestly don't expect much of it. That movie is a product of a different time, leave it there.

2 )Are you still haunted by Janet Jackson’s nipple?
Not really haunted, but it does make me call it Ms. Jackson, cause i'm nasty.

3) Are you holding your breath for the release of the Criterion Collection edition of Action Jackson?
Can't you see my cheeks turning blue? No ya'll, look up here towards my face!

4) Is presidential candidate John Kerry actually the reanimated corpse of former President Andrew Jackson?
Ummm, yes?

5) Samuel L. Jackson? You'll know my answer to this quesstion, cause it will have "Bad Ass Mother [censored]" stitched on it.

[ZyronDrazil]

1. It could be good, it could be bad. I'll see it though. King Kong All the way! I wasn't too happy with the Planet of the Ape's remake, it was kinda a slap in the face to the originator. But I'll let that passs... Anyway its King Kong, you gotta see it!
2. I'm haunted by the fact that I missed it! I was like "Oh nothing ever happens at half time.." How wrong I was... &lt;tear drop falls&gt; How wrong I was. Anyway, I like how many people were all freakin out saying.. "How am I suppose to explain that to my kids?" My only responce to those skeptics was laughter.

Anyway. I still understand that it was on a public station, if it were on Cable it woulda been fine, but anywhoo..
3. I held my breath.. passed out.. I woke up in cleveland.. I wont ever do that again.. When I came to realize that it hadn't come out yet, I was pissed.. So I'm holding my breath.. going on.. 42 hours now..
4. Andrew Jackson was such an [censored]. Kerry doesn't look like he could be that big of an [censored], but who am I to know?
5. Samuel L. Jackson is the Jedi Master Pimp.... Its a shame that he's goin to be killed off in episode 3.. oh I'll cry, oh how I'll cry..

[karmattack]

[ZyronDrazil]

oops my bad. I wasn't really paying attention when I said that. Please edit it Ryall

[ILovePapaSmurf]

<font color="purple">You know you can edit your own post right?</font color>

[ZyronDrazil]

Edit what? /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

[Matthew]

Pay more attention next time! ARRGH

[Threadkiller]

<font color="red">1) What are your expectations of Peter Jackson’s King Kong remake? </font color> I expect a surprising departure from the original story. I also suspect it will have some obvious, cheesy moral message.

<font color="red">2 )Are you still haunted by Janet Jackson’s nipple? </font color> Hell, I'm still haunted by Dennis Franz's ass on NYPD Blue oh so many years ago.

<font color="red">3) Are you holding your breath for the release of the Criterion Collection edition of Action Jackson? </font color> No, because then I would turn blue. I will undoubtedly purchase it though.

<font color="red">4) Is presidential candidate John Kerry actually the reanimated corpse of former President Andrew Jackson? </font color> I'm going to go with B) Brainwashed clone of Andrew Jackson a la Manchurian Candidate meets Gattica.

<font color="red">5) Samuel L. Jackson? </font color> Probably laughs at the fact that everyone considers him to be so cool. But damn, he's probably tied with Chris Walken on the undeniable cool-o-meter.

[DangerSeeker]

1. I read his script from '96 and loved it. He said he could do far better and started from scratch. I'm very excited.

2.Janet Jackson’s nipple I could go on about at length. I've lived in at least two places that were consistently providing evidence of Janet Jackson’s nipple. One was an apartment over a funeral home. I was pretty much never alone. I also worked in a movie theater that was absolutely haunted by Janet Jackson’s nipple. Everyone who worked there accepted it, including skeptics and athiests.

What was really weird was when Janet Jackson’s nipple would respond in her own way. One example: I could feel a cool pushing behind me as I checked all the doors and shut down the power for the night. I got on the phone with a friend I was meeting, let them know I was almost done and that Janet Jackson’s nipple wanted to be left alone. Immediately, a perfectly good ceiling tile dropped about ten feet from me.

3. I want SUPER-FUZZ, damnit!

4. No, but he has been reanimated... BY REANIMATOR!

5. DRINK MY BEER!

[PftLBritt]

1) What are your expectations of Peter Jackson’s King Kong remake?

With ticket prices the way they are, I'll probably wait til it comes out on DVD.

2 )Are you still haunted by Janet Jackson’s nipple?

Yes, because the mere mention of it devalues the accomplishment of the greatest team of this decade - The New England Patriots. Stupid "wardobe malfunction".

3) Are you holding your breath for the release of the Criterion Collection edition of Action Jackson?

No way; not until they come out with the Criterion Collection edition of "K-9". Jim Belushi, Ed O'Neill, Nothing But Action.

4) Is presidential candidate John Kerry actually the reanimated corpse of former President Andrew Jackson?

I was thinking more like a reanimated Walter Mondale. Huh? He's still alive? Could've fooled me.

5) Samuel L. Jackson?

You mean Mister Senior Love Daddy? " My people, my people, what can I say, say what I can. I saw it but didn't believe it, I didn't believe what I saw. Are we gonna live together, together are we gonna live?"

Or Gator Purify? "I swear before God....and four more white people! This is the last time!"

[ratm1966]

1) What are your expectations of Peter Jackson’s King Kong remake? It is just another example of how film makers have run out of original ideas. It will probably suck, but a lot of poor schmucks will still go see it and drive up the box office take.

2 )Are you still haunted by Janet Jackson’s nipple? In all actuality, I really couldn't care less about the whole situation.

3) Are you holding your breath for the release of the Criterion Collection edition of Action Jackson? Well, I wouldn't say I am holding my breath. Okay, I didn't even know it was being released.

4) Is presidential candidate John Kerry actually the reanimated corpse of former President Andrew Jackson? Reanimated? I thought he was still just a corpse.

5) Samuel L. Jackson? One bad ass mo' fo'!!

[EternalStrife]

1) The greatest epic of all Middle Earth........no, wait. Wrong movie.

2) I never watch the Super Bowl.

3) The whatsit whatsat now?

4) Yes. No. Maybe.

5) Umm........Bad Ass [censored]?

[FanGirl]

1) What are your expectations of Peter Jackson’s King Kong remake?

The man has made "Meet the Feebles" and "LOTR." He has earned my trust.

2 )Are you still haunted by Janet Jackson’s nipple?

Yes, but only because the FCC has done a mjor change in policies to protect the children which has massively effected my job.

3) Are you holding your breath for the release of the Criterion Collection edition of Action Jackson?

Uh, no...

4) Is presidential candidate John Kerry actually the reanimated corpse of former President Andrew Jackson?

Uh, no...Herman Munster though.....

5) Samuel L. Jackson?

It was my fault. I called him Mister Glass.

[JK]

1) What are your expectations of Peter Jackson’s King Kong remake? I expect a sweeping score, vast cinematic landscapes, and lots of mad monkey shine...

2 )Are you still haunted by Janet Jackson’s nipple? No. Just the bizarre clamp/ring/pasty thing... What the hell was that?

3) Are you holding your breath for the release of the Criterion Collection edition of Action Jackson? Isn't that the one where the guy did that thing with the girl... I'm thinking of Remo Williams.

4) Is presidential candidate John Kerry actually the reanimated corpse of former President Andrew Jackson? I would hardly call it animated.

5) Samuel L. Jackson?
I'm at work, airing Deep Blue Sea as we speak...
I'm still waiting for a pissed-off, one-armed black man to come back and take revenge on the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park VI or whatever the hell they're up to now...

[MattSinger]

1) What are your expectations of Peter Jackson’s King Kong remake?
I expect it will be a "precious" movie. Ha HA!

(Please kill me)

2 )Are you still haunted by Janet Jackson’s nipple?
Only by the taste of it.

3) Are you holding your breath for the release of the Criterion Collection edition of Action Jackson?
Dude, don't be knocking Action Jackson! Carl Weathers forever!

4) Is presidential candidate John Kerry actually the reanimated corpse of former President Andrew Jackson?
Yes, he was created in Dick Cheney's laboratory.


5) Samuel L. Jackson?
??? He's one cool dude, I'll say that.

[SalsaShark]

1.The King Kong ride at Universal is still up on the top of The Mummy. If it's that interesting...
2. I was working, but I have my own 3 nipples to entertain me.
3. Nope.
4. He does kinda look that way...
5. ...never really liked him as an actor much, to be honest.

[Omaru]

1) What are your expectations of Peter Jackson’s King Kong remake?

Whether it's good or not I think it'll be not to well recieved by the general idiotic public regardless. Hopefully it'll bring something new, otherwise if it's too much like the original we'll have psycho syndrome all over again

2 )Are you still haunted by Janet Jackson’s nipple?

Definitely, one time I'm sucking on that thing and a jagged metal thing got lodged, I had to have my appendix removed.

3) Are you holding your breath for the release of the Criterion Collection edition of Action Jackson? I don't know who/what that is.

4) Is presidential candidate John Kerry actually the reanimated corpse of former President Andrew Jackson?

Fetch me my hydrochloric acid, exorcism for dummies and my knitting needles so we can find out.

5) Samuel L. Jackson?

His name is Zeus, not Jesus! does he look f%$&amp;in puerto rican to you?

[jjcourtright]

I just now realized the "point" of Tom's questions...sadly.

Hey gang, long time no see. But anyway,

1) What are your expectations of Peter Jackson’s King Kong remake?
Same as any other remake, low. Hopefully, there will be no wire stunts though, which would mean a month or 2 of Razorback comparing it to the Matrix and hating it by proxy.

2 )Are you still haunted by Janet Jackson’s nipple? No

3) Are you holding your breath for the release of the Criterion Collection edition of Action Jackson?
No, just the classic, non "Special" Star Wars on DVD

4) Is presidential candidate John Kerry actually the reanimated corpse of former President Andrew Jackson?
No, although there's good reason to believe they're both dead. Ol' Hickory would kick Kerry's ass one handed.

5) Samuel L. Jackson?
The one they call "BAD [censored]", for more reasons than one.

[SnowBall]

1) What are your expectations of Peter Jackson’s King Kong remake?
it will surely suck
2 )Are you still haunted by Janet Jackson’s nipple?
not as much as the fact that i wished it was michael
3) Are you holding your breath for the release of the Criterion Collection edition of Action Jackson?
omygod yes!!!
4) Is presidential candidate John Kerry actually the reanimated corpse of former President Andrew Jackson?
didnt taste like it
5) Samuel L. Jackson?
maybe after a few drinks
