Movies that Make You (Literally) Sick
33 comments:
@MovieNut14 Really?! That's so bizarre. Was it because of the clock tower jump and the shooting(s)?
ReplyDelete@Sam Fragoso Nice, me either. Damn close though. Damn close. Also... have you seen Irreversible and/or Antichrist?
ReplyDelete@Alex WithrowMore so the ending. Really don't know why.
ReplyDelete@MovieNut14 Gotcha, and who knows, you know? Sometimes these things just... happen.
ReplyDeleteFunny you should post this, because I've actually been feeling sick all week. It subsided by Sunday, so I could go and see the Pro/Am golf tournament that me and my Dad look forward to every year, but I'm still feeling iffy today.
As for films, I have seen a number of incredibly visually graphic and disgustingly excessive movies, including the two you mention, Antichrist and Irreversible.
I felt pretty sick during the shit-eating sequence of Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom (which I maintain is not a bad movie, and that opinion gets me a lot of worried glances).
I also felt ill during A Serbian Film, which has sex and violence so deliberately provocative, it seems almost paedophilic that so much of it involves children. I do not recommend that film.
The ones that probably got me the closest to upchucking were Cannibal Holocaust and Pink Flamingos. Both are really bad movies, and incredibly graphic. I don't care how strong stomached you are, unless you're heartless the scenes involving the muskrat and the turtle in Cannibal Holocaust will scar you. And while I appreciated the humour in ending Pink Flamingos with a scene in which the lead actress consumes real dog shit (the soundtrack of "How Much Is That Doggy In The Window" made me chuckle more than I expected), the scene itself will have vomit stirring in your stomach and plunging for your oesophagus. At least the shit-eating in Salo was faked.@SJHoneywell Salo. Fuck. I don't think I was nauseous during that because I all but knew what to expect. Still though, not my cup of tea.
ReplyDelete@Tyler Glad you could make it to the Golf Tourney with your pops, I'm actually feeling a little under the weather as well, so that may have contributed to this post.
Salo isn't a bad flick, it just doesn't feel that necessary for me. I get what Pasolini was trying to do, but a lot of the gruesomeness was lost on me.
I had heard about A Serbian Film, and I watched it with caution. Turned it off after 30 minutes. Fucking pointless. Cannibal Holocaust nearly made my list, but not because I felt nauseous during it, but because I couldn't eat the pasta dinner my mother had prepared directly after it. Those poor fucking animals (which, I've heard are the only scenes Deodato regrets shooting). And the guy impaling the woman by inserting a very large object into her vagina wasn't much better, either... but at least that was fake.
Pink Flamingos is a lot like Salo to me - I knew what to expect, and I get what the Waters is trying to do, but I don't see the point in it.
Great picks, hope you're feeling better!Good two choices, I think it's interesting how the two sexes react to Antichrist. You reacted badly to the part with the penis, the women though mostly don't mind it and turn their heads only when she takes the scissors. The two movies that made me sick, though I never puked, was Human Centipede during the swallowing scene and "Alien VS Predator Requiem" during the scene where Alien was forcing eggs down the pregnant's woman throat. The idea of having something awful forced down your throat is just repulsive and the circumstances of those scenes didn't help. What also doesn't help is that these two movies really don't have any redeeming qualities.
I also noticed it's interesting how the response to the movie and something awful going on is nausea but in real life it is fainting. I hear stories about people puking during a movie all the time. Yet when my group from forensic medicine attented autopsy nobody puked, but few people fainted. Had they seen it on cinema screen they would mostly likely escape to the bathroom.@Sati. Hmmm, very interesting point you make about the different health effects real life situations and movies can have. Me, personally, I've witnessed acts of violence in real life that were not nearly as intense as similar acts in movies. That sounds odd, because real life is... real, but with proper sound effects, blood, acting, etc, a fight in a film can be much more gruesome than a fight in real life.
Anyway, there's definitely something to be made about your Antichrist point; the value of knowing what can be missed, I suppose. Human Centipede was a lot like Salo and A Serbian Film to me - knew what to expect and didn't see the point in it. I've never seen A v. P Requiem, but that sounds gross.
Good choices though!I can't say I saw anything that has made me literally sick as I enjoyed both Irreversible and Antichrist. Though I did get squeamish in the latter.
I do get dizzy by watching some of those awful action movies like the ones by Michael Bay. They're so terrible.
I'm eager to see Salo. I just want to see how far I can go and not throw up.@thevoid99 The whole shaking camera bit, as pioneered by Janusz Kaminski, has definitely worn out its welcome. It serves a purpose when executed properly, but Michael Bay is just doing it to make his films seem more realistic, which is absurd. If you're trying to test yourself, watch Cannibal Holocaust as well. That film is fucked up.
ReplyDeleteNever puked either. I go alright.
Not a surprise, but the two films that have made the most uncomfortable are...Irreversible (almost unwatchable - fast forwarded bits on my first viewing, but had to watch it again for an assignment, sigh) and Antichrist (which I saw in a cinema).
I had bad dreams for a week after the latter - because the image of that fox and hearing 'Chaos Reigns' stuck in my head and scared the shit out of me.
Nice write-up, man. Two very worthy choices.The trivia about noise as an earthquake was news to me, thanks for that!
Funny story, I went in to see Indy 4 in the theatre, which we all know is a family movie. Fat guy I was sitting next to had a simply terrible foul-smelling, unpleasasnt odor, I came close to vomitting, and it seriously affected my enjoyment. Yuck! Luckily the film was poor anyway! ( :
I remember I saw Lost in space (1998) on a ferry once, so the fact the boat was rocking obviously contributed. The quick-cut editing of that film was exhausting, and was also factor in making me all dizzy.
Probably these examples are more about the screening environment, than the contents of the movies. Anyway, that's my two cents!@Andy Buckle Ha thanks buddy. That goddamn fox... creepy little bastard.
ReplyDeleteIrreversible didn't make me sick, but it did make me want to kill Gaspar Noé. I'm being 100% serious when I say that; if Noé had been at the screening I attended, I would've physically attacked him. I knew about the 28Hz tone (apparently it's used for crowd dispersal in riots or something), but didn't expect it to affect me quite like that. After the first half hour I calmed down and was willing to settle for GBH instead of death.
Antichrist I thought was too ostentatiously "LOOK AT ME, AREN'T I REPULSIVE?" to be anything more than a titanic bore.@Chris Hey man, environment definitely counts, and what unfortunate circumstances both of those situations were. I've had the displeasure of sitting next to similarly foul-smelling people in movies before, and I just get up and move. Definitely not worth ruining the film.
I can't imagine seeing a flick on a ferry. I don't get seasick, but still... that'd be rough. Thanks for sharing!@james1511 Ha fair enough. Definitely can't blame you for having the reactions you did to both films. I think they're brilliant, but they both spark polarizing views. Some love, others hate. However, I most admit that it would've been amusing to hear about an angry viewer beating the shit out of Noé after a screening.
ReplyDelete@MovieNut14 Awesome, love it. I actually watched part of that movie while eating breakfast this morning - love everything about.
I love when Pesci tells the guy, "Dogs, I got ya head in a fuckin' vise... don't make me do this, don't make me do this, Dogs." The man is In.Sane.Irreversible and pretty much anything with graphic rape in it is bound to leave me feeling sick. Irreversible I took the chicken shit option and just fast forwarded through the rape scene. The opening is brilliant, much like all of Enter The Void! The Accused with Jodie Foster left me waking up with nightmares but not feeling sick. I Spit on Your Grave the original made me feel sick that someone would sensualise some of those extreme scenes.
Cannibal Holocaust also made me feel very sick. The real animal cruelty is absolutely inexcusable and disgusting.
I've got Human Centipede 2 on the way from Lovefilm so will see what all the fuss is about for that in the next couple of days.@Pete All worthy choices, for sure. While rape scenes don't make me physically ill, they are the one thing that a film can do to truly disturb me. I can shake just about anything, but rape is... oh fuck, it's just too much. Sometimes. I Spit on Your Grave exploits rape in a way that I feel is criminal, likewise Last House on the Left. But instances like Irreversible (and Deliverance) are cases in which I think rape is necessary for the story, if that makes sense.
Anyway, The Accused, jesus.. rough shit. I'm heavy into animal rights, so movies like Cannibal Holocaust are very very difficult to watch for the reason you mentioned.
I hope you "enjoy" Human Centipede 2... I'll look for a review on your site!- AnonymousApril 6, 2012 at 12:10 AM
Oh c'mon...the scene in Jackass 3D when he's on the exercise bike wearing nothing but a few plastic bags from the cleaners and his perspiration is collected in a cup and then they drink it. I was audibly gagging, as were my three friends.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousMarch 24, 2013 at 5:22 PM
It's the camera shake that makes you want to puke. I saw people leaving the cinema watching Dancer in the Dark. Good movies, but Mr Trier really should get a tripod. Freakin' Dogme 95...

Ace Drummond S1 Ep08 – The Sign in the Sky
Lon Chaney Jr. stars in this serial based on the comic strip by beloved World War I flying hero Eddie Rickenbacker, that follows the adventures of master pilot Ace Drummond, "G-Man of the Air!".
Ace Drummond
Ep. 08: The Sign in the Sky
Ace Drummond is a 1936 film serial based on the comic strip drawn by Clayton Knight and written by Eddie Rickenbacker. It featured aviator Ace Drummond and his adventures around the world. He is sent to Mongolia to find out why a mysterious villain known only as 'The Dragon' is trying to prevent the newly formed International Airways from setting up an airport there. Ace meets Peggy Trainor (Jean Rogers) who is searching for her archaeologist father who has disappeared. Together they search for answers to the puzzles…

Ostensibly based on the life of World War I flying ace Eddie Rickenbacker, whose smiling visage opened each of the 13 chapters, this fanciful serial depicted the travails of a globe trotting airline company. It seems that a villain known only as The Dragon (Arthur Loft) is determined to sabotage the company, who in desperation hires daredevil pilot Ace Drummond (John King) to investigate. By the time of the serial's 13th and final chapter — "The World Akin" — Drummond has not only managed to destroy The Dragon but also reunited lovely Peggy Trainor (Jean Rogers) with her long lost father (Montagu Shaw) and discovered a hidden mountain containing a fortune in jade. A former band singer with Ben Bernie, the rather bland John King later became \"Dusty\" King and enjoyed a minor career in B-Westerns. A legendary serial queen, blonde Jean Rogers gained her lasting reputation that same year when Universal cast her as Dale Arden in Flash Gordon. An edited feature version of Ace Drummond was released later in 1936 as Squadron of Doom.

In an interview with CNN, Erakat labeled the attack the beginning of a "major, major Israeli escalation," and he called on the international community to pressure Israel to halt its operation.
Al-Mukhalalati, the Gaza health minister, also called on "the free world to stop this massacre committed by Israel."
Asked about assassinating al-Ja'abari, Regev said the Hamas military leader headed a "terror military machine."
"This is the man with blood on his hands. This man is a known and wanted terrorist," he said. "In taking him out, Israel was acting legitimately."
The latest escalation in violence is part of a cycle of attacks between periods of relative stability between Israel and the Palestinians.
"This was both inevitable and predictable," said Aaron David Miller, a Middle East expert and vice president at the Woodrow Wilson Center.
There is no long-term basis for both sides to find a lasting peace, he said.
Israel and the Palestinians have "completely different political and strategic goals," Miller explained. The focus should be on how to bring security until a basis for long-term stability arises, he added.

When it comes to love/hate relationships, Congressman John Mica seems to have a hate/hate relationship with the Transportation Security Administration. The Republican chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee makes no secret of his desire to rid TSA of its nearly 50,000 transportation security officers (aka screeners).

I never wanted to be an aircraft mechanic. That's probably a good thing, because I would never fly in anything I worked on.
Luminary cover subjects are a signature feature of Business Jet Traveler, a bimonthly publication that focuses on the users of business aviation, as opposed to the pilots, maintenance technicians, FBO personnel and others in the industry who are the focus of its sister publication, the monthly Aviation International News. Of course, a lot people read both magazines, which is fine with us.
Last week marked the 99th anniversary of the sinking of the RMS Titanic. In her day, she was the biggest and best of her kind, incorporating the latest technology of the period.
I've been covering the Aircraft Interiors Expo for AIN since the first show opened in Cannes, France, a decade ago, and earlier this month, I covered the latest show at its Hamburg, Germany venue, where it has been held since 2002.
Early last month, the FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to dramatically curtail the Block Aircraft Registration Request (BARR) program. In short, BARR allows general aviation aircraft owners to opt out of having their flight information publicly available at flight tracking providers such as FlightAware.
The Japanese trifecta of tragedy has some people rethinking risk-assessment models and catastrophic risk in general. And maybe those of us in aviation should as well. After all, these models are only as good as the assumptions that are made about the likelihood of an event–or a series of events–occurring.
Certainly the news that there were no U.S. airline passenger fatalities in 2010 is cause for reflection and, yes, some self-congratulation by all those who made it possible. From airline and manufacturers' boardrooms to the 10th floor of 800 Independence Avenue, congratulations are in order.
As you've probably read, NetJets chairman and CEO David Sokol resigned abruptly from that company and parent firm Berkshire Hathaway on March 28, after questions arose about his purchase of stock in a firm that Berkshire subsequently offered to buy.
Britain's coalition government–composed of an exotic combination of Conservatives and Liberal Democrats–is at war with itself in more ways than one. But its recent proposals for a new tax on private aviation are a prime example of this conflict.

Slumber in the Belly of the Beast In the sub-zero wasteland of the planet Hoth, only the strong survive... and of course those luc...ky Jedi protected by the thick skin of a Tauntaun. Now after exhaustive movie viewing research and analysis ThinkGeek Labs has isolated the exact synthetic compounds needed to re-create Tauntaun fur. What have we done with this supreme knowledge? Created a Tauntaun sleeping bag of course. This high-quality sleeping bag looks just like a Tauntaun, complete with saddle, printed internal intestines, and a plush lightsaber zipper pull. Now when your kids tell you their favorite Star Wars movie is "Attack of the Clones" you can nestle the wee-ones snug in simulated Tauntaun fur while regaling them with the amazing tale of "Empire Strikes Back". Use the plush lightsaber zipper pull on the Tauntaun sleeping bag to illustrate how Han Solo saved Luke Skywalker from certain death in the freezing climate of Hoth by slitting open the belly of a dead Tauntaun and placing Luke inside the stinking (but warm) carcass. If your kids don't change their tune on which Star Wars film is the greatest ever, you can do your best Jar Jar impression until they repent. News: The story behind the Tauntaun Sleeping Bag was featured in the New York Times Sunday Magazine. Click here to read "Sleeping Gag". More press and linkage to be found at thinkgeek.com/tauntaun. Product Features Classic Star Wars sleeping bag simulates the warmth of a Tauntaun carcass Built-in embroidered Tauntaun head pillow Plush Lightsaber zipper pull Printed intestines pattern on inside of bag Great for playing pretend "Save Luke from the Wampa" games Teach your children about the best Star Wars movie ever Fully Licensed Lucasfilm? Collectible 100% Polyester construction, Machine washable WARNING CHOKING HAZARD - Ages 3 and Up ONLY For indoor use only. Not suitable for camping. One size fits all.

The ultimate status symbol Back in the lunchroom, your mode of food transportation was of vital importance. You had to have a new ...lunchbox every year, and the characters on that lunchbox were a statement about who you were and what you stood for. Having a Sesame Street lunchbox in 1st grade was great - who didn't love Grover? - but having one in 4th grade could get you beat up. And if you are going to have a Star Wars lunch box, it had to be the kind that featured Darth Vader. You don't mess with people who are allied with the Dark Side. This tin lunchbox is a throwback to the old days that will delight young and old fans of Star Wars. Featuring a movie illustration from The Empire Strikes Back (the best movie in the series - just sayin'), Darth Vader looms large on the front. But don't worry, all your other favorites are there: Leia, Luke, Han Solo, R2-D2, C-3PO, Lando Calrissian, and a handful of Stormtroopers. Use it to make a statement in your lunchroom or display it as a collectible. Just be sure you don't do both: the Dark Side does not protect against mold growth if you leave your leftovers in the box.

Eat sushi, defend the galaxy But now, we must eat. Come, good food, come... and meet your end in the grasp of the Star Wars Chop S...abers. They're lightsabers, they're chopsticks, they'll change the way you experience your favorite Asian foods. If you missed the chance to pick these up at San Diego Comic Con 2009, now is the time to grab these Japanese imports from ThinkGeek and deftly maneuver your food with the power of the Force. We're not sure if you know this, but Yoda has been known to carve his Thanksgiving turkey using his lightsaber. Go forth, brave Jedi warriors, and use your chop sabers to mix just a little extra wasabi into your soy sauce. You can handle it. It is a known fact that eating sushi with chop sabers vastly strengthens your ability to ingest horseradish products. (By the way, did you know that researchers are trying to make a smoke alarm for the deaf using wasabi vapors? We're debating whether it would be more annoying to wake up to the sound of a fire alarm or the punch in the nose that only wasabi brings. What do you think?) Either way, wield your weapons and ready the way for a truly epic eating experience. Product Features Chopsticks in the shape of your favorite Jedi weapons Fully licensed Lucasfilm collectible Imported from Japan Five styles to choose from: Luke Skywalker, green, 23cm long Luke Skywalker, blue, 23cm long Darth Maul, red, 23 cm long -they snap together, too! Not sure how you'd eat like that, though. Darth Vader, red, 23 cm long Yoda, green, 20 cm long Lightsabers do not light up or slice effortlessly through flesh. Sorry. Read More
Galactic, huggable friends in sizes from 4" to 24" As dorky as this may sound, we have a soft spot for plush. Plastic or metallic ...figures are cool, but sometimes, you just need a hug. (And guys, you won't lose your man card for admitting that.) Also, plushes are great gifts for wee geeks that you're trying to mold into lovers of the good Star Wars movies. Start them young, raise 'em right, we say. Don't want them asking for a Jar Jar plush! If there was ever a case for justifiable filicide... or at least extensive reprogramming... These Star Wars Plush come in 4" keychain buddies. The 4" versions can be clipped to your keys, backback, laptop bag, or even the zipper of your winter coat. Each plush has a signature sound effect when you squeeze them: R2-D2 with his bleeps and bloops, Darth Vader's creepy stalker breathing, and Yoda with his patented advice for young Jedi-to-be. Product Specifications WARNING: Choking hazard. Small parts. Not for children under 3. Plush Star Wars characters with signature sound effects Made of polyester fibers infused with pure galactic awesome 4" models have attached keychain to hang from your keys or laptop bag Choose wisely R2-D2 with bleep blooping sound effects: 4" Vader with creepy stalker breathing: 4" Boba Fett with three phrases: 4" Jawa with light-up eyes, laughter, and phrases: 4" Yoda with signature Jedi a signature phrase: 4" Read More
Capture Your Own Hoth Snow Beast Here at ThinkGeek we pride ourselves on offering nifty products covering all aspects of the Empir...e Strikes Back story... since it is the 30th anniversary and all. Last year we launched the coveted Tauntaun sleeping bag, allowing children of all ages to nestle safe in the guts of a tauntaun. Now as a sort of product-based prequel we give you this amazing "bear rug" style Wampa. As you may recall from Empire, before Luke was preserved inside a dead tauntaun he had a fight with a hideous Wampa snow beast in the mountain caves of Hoth. Now you can catch your own Wampa and take him home to decorate your swank bachelor pad. The Star Wars fangirls will love the high-quality synthetic fur, plush pillow head and fearsome claws. Important Note: Unfortunately you only get the Wampa rug. Slave Leia is NOT included and we double-dare you to make any comments about how she isn't featured until the next movie. Read More
Perfect Table Ornamentation for Breakfast on Bespin Here at ThinkGeek, whenever we plan our monthly dinner party for Dark Lords of... the Sith it's always a fiasco. You know... lots of arguments about the reliability of AT-ATs and then things usually devolve into force-choking contests. Luckily our robot monkeys made a deal with Lucasfilm to create the stylish Star Wars Lightsaber Candlestick. Not only do these detailed replicas look great on your table, the heavyweight all metal construction is perfect for force-whipping upside someone's head who can't seem to shut up about exhaust port failures. Each Star Wars Lightsaber Candlestick is a precise scaled down re-creation of Darth Vader's blade cast in zinc-alloy and chrome plated. Three no-drip red taper candles are included but most standard taper candles will fit the candlestick properly. The circular base unscrews to provide a more authentic look to the saber hilt for the true Star Wars collector. Product Features Solid metal candlestick is a perfect re-creation of Darth Vader's lightsaber Comes with three no-drip red taper candles Accepts standard taper candles for replacements Base unscrews for more movie accurate look Officially licensed Star Wars collectable Exclusive product designed and manufactured by ThinkGeek Dimensions: Lightsaber Hilt - 8.5 inches long, Red Candle Blade- 10 inches long Read More
Transform your dark room into the Star Wars galaxy Ah, the planetarium. Home of many a school field trip. Our particular planetari...um was built in the '60s and featured orange and puke green seating. The recording that played while the stars lit up was also from the '60s and would often fuzz out in places. Since we heard the same recording over and over, we'd try to recite it word for word while simultaneously ogling the couple that used the darkened space for hot makeoutz. (We were the adorably naive nerds who didn't take advantage of the convenient makeout lighting. Sad, but true.) If our planetarium featured Star Wars, we are sure that even the makeout couple would have unlocked faces long enough to stare into the sea of stars and planets. There's Naboo! And Dagobah! And Alderaan! Let's face it, we feel closer to these locations than we'll ever feel to our next-planet-neighbors Venus and Mars. But just in case you want some real educational value out of this Death Star, there's a second dome that shows the night sky of Earth, constellations and all. Product Specifications For Ages 8 and Up WARNING: SMALL PARTS - Not intended for children under 3 years of age Tabletop planetarium looks like the infamous Death Star Projects the Star Wars galaxy and planet names or Earth's night sky Includes a fun and informative learning guide WARNING: Do not look directly into the light source. Doing so can cause serious and irreparable eye damage. Product Dimensions: 11.1 x 10.0 x 4.0" Requires 3AA batteries (not included) Read More
A is for Anakin... When learning the alphabet, a wee geek normally turns to board books. If they're lucky, they might have a poofy... bath book, perfect for perusing while surrounded by sweet smelling bubbles... and making not-so-sweet smelling bubbles. (Was that just a fart joke? On ThinkGeek? There goes the neighborhood!) The typical alphabet book is typical. A is for Apple, B is for Boy, C is for Cat. This is all fine and good if you're raising the kind of kid who will end up getting a degree from one of those fly-by-night internet colleges, but we're gonna bet you want better for your geekling. That's why you need the Star Wars ABC book. We'll be exploring the galaxy by the time they're old enough to head to college, so you can prepare them now for the things they'll encounter there. A is for Anakin, E is for Ewok, L is for Luke the legendary Jedi. Each big capital letter mimics the image it accompanies, so don't be surprised that the E looks furry. Brief sentences use alliteration to connect the letter to the subject, making this a great read-aloud book for younger geeklings and an independent read for older Star Wars fans. Read More

A side of Sith It's a sad truth that there are still bullies in school. They were there when we were geeklings and they're still t...here now that our geeklings are school-aged. How do you defeat bullies? With a kick-butt lunch box, that's how! Who better to defend you than the dark lord of the Sith himself? Okay, a lunch box probably isn't the cure-all for elementary school societal difficulties, but at least it's another cool point in your favor. Pack your lunching noms inside Darth Vader's head and the insulation will keep them fresh until you're ready to eat. Press a button for Vader's creepy breathing noises, the perfect aural accompaniment for your PBJ. Product Specifications Come to the Dark Side, we packed a delicious lunch Includes push button for sound effect Food safe: 100% PVC free with PEVA linings Superior quality closed cell polyethylene foam insulation keeps food fresh Comfortable, padded carrying handle Durable, easy-clean fabric: just wipe down with a sponge and mild soap Dimensions: 8.75" x 3.25" x 9.75" Read More

Hello all,
I haven't felt like painting or gaming today, so I've had a day of 'taking stock'. I've fished out al lthe figures I've painted since the fateful day Mr Sawyer sent me a set of Roman legionary sprues. First up, the 'finished' (well, more or less) project.
Romans first - this isn't, I am embarrassed to say, all of them - there are about another 75 figures that wouldn't fit for one reason or another (but most are 'substitutes' anyway - legionaries with spears instead of pila, alternative bolt-throwers, and that sort of thing):
Then the Britons:
There are a few things I'd like to add to each army - more cavalry to the Romans (with spears, preferably), and another couple of warbands to the Britons.
Since 'finishing' that 'Britannia' project (which iused something like 99% Warlord figures), I have moved forward a century or two, and am doing a project based loosely on Harry Sidebottom's "Warrior of Rome" novels - which I'm calling 'Fire in the East' after the first book in the series. Third Century Romans and early Sassanid Persians. Most, but by no means all, the figures are from A&A Miniatures, with additional 'co-starring roles' from Aventine Miniatures, Miniature Design Studio and the odd thing from Gripping Beast! I'm a little over half-way through the project now.
First up the Romans:
Then the Sassanids:

I DO find sexual attention immensely validating, and that plays into everything from the way I dress to my choice of career.

Ayat Al-Qassab carefully slipped the beaded satin wedding gown over her small frame. She peered at herself in the rusted mirror and cautiously smiled. For a moment, her war-torn world was transformed and she was a beautiful bride -- free, safe and happy. Then, a mortar shell exploded somewhere near her Syrian home in Homs, waking her from a daydream. She quickly wrapped a white headscarf tightly around her hair and prepared to leave for her wedding. Homs has borne the brunt of the Syrian military's wrath since violence broke out nearly two years ago in the nation. Many who live in the city consider it to be the unbowed guardian of the Syrian revolt. There, even marriage is an act of revolution.
By the time you become 116 years old, you've pretty much seen it all. Besse Cooper was born in 1896. She's one of only a handful, who've seen the centuries turn twice. She loved to learn and became a teacher, and went on to become a pioneer fighting for the right of women to vote in the 1920s. She was a news junkie who loved politics, and never missed the evening news once television was invented. She never had a driver's license, but when she did drive, you didn't need one. She drove a Model T. She was the matriarch of her family of 4 children, 11 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren, and 1 great great grandchild. This past week, Besse Cooper went to get her hair done, in the nursing home she lived. Her hair was one of her passions. Her son said it meant that she was ready to go. She died later that day. We take a look back at Besse Cooper, who was the oldest living person in the world.
She was scarred by the war that scarred her father, and she spent two decades seeking peace. Now Christal Presley takes the next step in her journey: returning to the places that sill haunt her and, at last, telling her truth.

As gay people become more accepted in mainstream society and as baby boomers push for a better world for the LGBT community, retirement is starting to look a lot different for this generation.
Across the country, there's a sudden shift taking place. Bobbie Cleave, a retired teacher in Utah, has put off plans to get a badly needed car. Brian Chandler, a data manager in metro Atlanta, is delaying buying a house -- despite needing space for his second child due any day now. Retired police officer Richard Huffman of Michigan is considering ditching plans to get back into the work force. And many families CNN spoke with said they're shrinking the gift pile beneath the Christmas Tree. All because of the so-called "fiscal cliff." The threat to the nation's economy, which Americans hear about on daily basis, isn't just "looming." For many people, it's a reason to make changes now. But some see an up-side. "We need to go over the cliff," says Val Stayskal, 58-year-old owner of two small businesses in Addison, Illinois.
Soledad O'Brien: Who is black in America? I am.
We always want answers. NFL linebacker Jovan Belcher, 25, shot to death the mother of his child, and then shot himself in the head in the middle of the afternoon Saturday outside the team's Kansas City practice facility. The day before, a man burst into a Wyoming college classroom, police said, and killed someone he knew, and then killed himself. Usually, such tragedies are shocking. Experts that CNN spoke with say about 1,500 murder-suicides happen in the United States every year. And even that number is questionable, they caution. There are no credible statistics on this kind of crime -- the FBI doesn't keep track, and police classify murders in different ways. This lack of certainty often amplifies the frustration people feel when loved ones are wrenched from them so violently. And it makes it even tougher to understand when the violence is wrought in public.
When a car slammed into their motorcycle, June and Ted DiStefano knew the horrific accident would change their lives forever. They didn't realize it would give them the power to help others. Both were severely injured in the hit-and-run accident. June was kept in an induced coma for a month as doctors tried to save her left leg. In the end, they had to amputate it. Ted also lost his left leg. Today, 15 years later, the DiStefanos are actors in a hostile environment training course, using their physical injury to help create a shocking, realistic simulation of a war zone for troops.

Ok- I just went on Ticketmaster to see what tickets are available.
In the past JingleBalls are sold out within minutes.
Section A row 3 is still available, they have been on sale over 15 minutes!!
I think these tickets will be as popular as the bobbleheads are on eBay
I think they'll still have a full house because if it gets close to the end and they still have tickets, they'll just give a bunch away. Even for charity, I just don't have extra money to spend on bands I don't want to see.Originally Posted by JesseeezMom
Hey! I got my 3rd star today...thank you! Hold your applause!
Yeah, I just checked out the tickets too. I could have had section B row 3 just a few minutes ago.
I am bummed because JingleBall has been really fun in the past~ based on the ticket sales we aren't the only ones who are not excited. I would go if I won them free but theres NO way I would pay for them.Originally Posted by Green_Monsta
Congratulations on your star!! and you don't even neff
Thanks! I have been to a few Jingle Balls and while most of them have been fun, some have also been a bust. They can't seem to bring back the good acts like Bon Jovi, Duran Duran, Barenaked Ladies...even Steve Polz! Maybe I'm just getting old.... I didn't like the B-52's when they were popular. I'll never forget that year that Melissa Etheridge was the second to last act and after she finished, the crowds poured out. Poor Jars of Clay! And they were actually good! Who the heck made that schedule? They had to know that would happen. Well, hopefully next year's lineup will be much better. At the last one I went to, I did notice that their videos between acts were getting much better. I'm busy that night so even a free ticket wouldn't get me there.Originally Posted by JesseeezMom
Best available is now Terrace so I bet they will sell out by end of today.Originally Posted by YoungAmerican
It goes to show ya, it's probably too much to do if you start a new job in September, get folks to jump over, throw a thank you party in November -AND- Jingle Ball too. It was too much - too soon. I'll bet next year's Jingle Ball will be better and back the what it was before.
With that said. This IS still for Becky's House. There are women who are in abusive situations right now that need help. So- I'll be there, whether it's The Rolling Stones or Joe Blow and the All-Clarinet Geek Band
I may be the minority, but frankly I'm gettting tired of Star using Becky's house. This is a great cause for women but seriously, I don't approve of the way Star is riding the coat tails of this serious problem. Especially since Becky's supposed discovery was made by a convicted wife beater and stalker. Oh, the irony....
...........wow..............................that's a REALLY deep thought.....Originally Posted by OnLeftCoast
pretty yuck especially the reality of that statement...
Sorry but that really brought it down a couple of notches for me..
I think anything that is raising money for a good cause, cancer, battered women, even blonds with walking and gum chewing issues is a really good thing. (that was a joke to hopefully make someone laugh/ I am blond I laugh easily...especially at myself )
You know, I've never looked at it from that perspective. You're right. If what was posted earlier in this thread about Tommy is true, that is ironic, to the extreme.Originally Posted by OnLeftCoast
yah, i know what u mean..........i love switchfoot they will be a big hit, theyre two shows coming up next weekend have been sold out since the second they went onsale. the bands arnt as good this year. I got row 1 of the $55 seats but its soo close up! dont care too much for los lonley boys but i like hootie and train, and alanis and switchfoot
I just won tickets at the raffle today
they gavge away 50 pairs

Here it is Sunday afternoon and tickets to Jingleball are still available! Yikes.
Life Sucks, and when it does, just drop your pants and make life blow!

Ok someone please share the secret to getting through for party tickets. I have gone to the things, call in constantly only to get a busy signal or a ring only to be finished with a busy signal.

Who decided who won that contest? Did they take 11 calls and he got to screen them as they came in? I hardly think his was the best. I still miss the old Jeff and Jer...I think they are gone forever.
Thank You I needed someone to put everything in perspective...Originally Posted by Green_Monsta
This morning after trying since 3am, I actually gave my husband an ugly look when he said he didn't want me to pay for tickets- He's an awesome guy even went with me to the car dealership for the raffle- I did pay him back by taking him to the pub for the afternoon (I was his DD) Well I have a $94.10 room. Is there a way to transfer that rate to someone who has tickets? All the rooms are now $140
Ok Green Monsta I'm a glutton for punishment and I want to win that beautiful ring.
I called and got through and they said You are caller 5....I call back and they say Congratulations you are a winner!
I was so excited!!! I was the winner of an NFL experience
What the Heck??? They announce caller #9 gets tix to the party and then I get NFL experience tickets...I said no thanks, it is wednesday night.
Husband and I are not big footbal fans. I am kicking myself now for not taking them I could've given them away, sorry for being so selfishly shocked. Seriously what is up with that????
Sorry, but that made me laugh out loud. You can only win the ring if he doesn't propose...and he would be stupid not to because although he doesn't have to pay a mortgage, he spends all of his money on Star Wars stuff. I know it's all a bit (because, isn't everything they do?) but I'm not sure which way this is going....Originally Posted by JesseeezMom
Funny but my cousin is in town and staying at that hotel. I'm sure it'll be crazy there on Thursday. I'm assuming when you say that your husband doesn't want you paying to go, you are talking about Thursday, not JingleBall, so I'm also assuming you mean paying on EBay. I think people are crazy that are paying hundreds of dollars to go to this but wonderful for those taking advantage and making a few bucks! Wish I had thought of it. Bottom line, don't know what to tell you! You can still try to win them - and you still are eligible since you passed on the NFL Experience. Yeah, what's with that? I thought they only had that at the Super Bowl. Let us know what happens! Oh, as for the transfer of the room rate. I'm not sure how that works. I guess you could attempt to change the name if you want....saying that you want to put it in your husband's name...or sister...and say that they are getting there before you or something. Work your magic!
Originally Posted by JesseeezMom

Anyway....you can go on e-bay and buy a pair of tickets for $2,500. For what? You have to pay for your own drinks and they will probably have platters of cheese and crackers as the food. Why waste your time.

There are a bunch of acts that tour the Jingle Balls around the country and that is what they have to pick from. This year they had a casino handle the booking because they got in too late and that is what is left to entertain.
Your assumption was correct! I told him that I wanted to buy the party tix on eBay- I could care less about Jingleball this year. He looked at me like I was on crack. I'm starting to feel like it actually, I think a busy signal does some kind of weird hypnosis on your brain My husband suggested that we stay there and just sneek in.hehehhe- sounds fun but what's the point without an entry??Originally Posted by Green_Monsta
After she told me I won the NFL, I asked her "are you serious? Yes..."are you joking?" she said no, she said that it is a meet and greet with football players Nov 9.
Whiskers I live in Carlsbad and I'm pretty sure that a cab ride would be close to or more than $100 for the hotel room, besides staying the night at a nice hotel with my handsome husband is totally worth the $$$
If I don't win I won't be heart broken-it IS kinda lame that I want to go..."Thank You Lord!" that this is annonymous

Yeah, crack sounds about right!Originally Posted by JesseeezMom
Yeah, you'll never be able to stay at the Hilton for that price so that is worth it. Paying tons of money on tickets everyone is getting for free is not. If Bon Jovi or U2 were appearing, I'd consider it.
Anonymous? I know who you are. Just kidding. I'm sure some people can figure out who I am from what I say.
That's a mighty expensive ring to give away two! They aren't getting THAT much free advertising....Originally Posted by GoEagles
They could be.Originally Posted by Green_Monsta
After all, that was a retail price they were quoting. I'll bet that ring costs them 1/3 that much.
Soooo....Either Randy won't propose that night -or- he will propose but use a different ring. Probably one furnished by that jeweler.
And since they have been hyping up Randy's relationship with that "new" girlfriend for so long on the air, I bet they trade out advertising for a very nice ring for Randy to give her on his own terms with nothing out of his pocket.Originally Posted by itz_me_tom

Time I
After eight years, countless delays, and a tremendous amount of both eager and aggravated anticipation, Wintersun's second opus is finally upon us. We'll just go ahead and bypass discussion of the almost unprecedented amount of backlogged drama that has gone into this album's conception -- chances are, everyone reading this is aware of it, and I'm pretty confident that most of you are just ready to listen to the damn thing and discuss whether or not Jari Maenpaa's return lives up to the hype.
Unfortunately, we still don't know if it does or not, because we're only listening to half of the album. As if Maenpaa couldn't infuriate and titlate his fanbase any more than he already has, his second work has been divided into two parts in a rather hilarious instance of stumbling and falling on your face as you finally cross over the finish line. The irony of the album being split into two halves due to the very grandiosity that made it so difficult to finish and release is pretty monumental, but it's hardly a real issue in the long run as long as it doesn't affect the impact of the music in question. Unfortunately, in this case, it kind of does.
Despite breaking the forty minute barrier, Time I feels very much like a glorified EP. And for a style of music as over-the-top and bombastic as Wintersun's, it just doesn't feel like enough. Consisting of three proper tracks and two rather meaningless interludes, Time I comes across as a padded stop-gap release, rather than the monumentous follow up to a debut that took the metal world by storm eight long years ago. It's tantalizing and dissappointing all at once, not too mention rather condescending -- did Jari and / or Nuclear Blast really think we couldn't handle a full album of this stuff? So yes, the amount of content here is a letdown, frankly. But I would be a lot more willing to accept this if the music that was here was more satisfying.
Despite overflowing with various instrumental textures and compositional turns, the three metal songs on Time I are simply not that engaging. There's plenty of quick flashes, but at the end of the day it's pretty hard for me to get too excited about anything that Jari has delivered on this release. There's been a lot of talk about the absurd number of different tracks and layers packed into these songs, but I don't even feel that overproduction is the issue -- it's the basic songwriting that doesn't live up to expectations. There's a serious lack of cohesive hooks and speedy, intense passages here, replaced by a healthy dose of meandering power-balladry and mid-tempo navel-gazing. Opening song "Sons of Winter and Stars" shows promise early with a bombastic volley of blasts and ripping, keyboard-laden grooves, but then wanders off into a melodramatic and wanky mid-section before returning to deliver a rousing but rather generic chorus as its finale. There's a lot going on, sure, but for a thirteen-minute-long epic there's remarkably little that actually sticks.
The other tracks don't fare much better. "Land of Snow and Sorrow" is an entirely mid-tempo affair, but it lacks some of the despondent majesty that made songs like "Death and the Healing" and "Sleeping Stars" so powerful on the self-titled debut. Maenpaa's multifaceted and emotional singing is well executed, but it isn't quite enough to push the rather sterile and fatigued guitar and keyboard compositions forward into your memory. Closing number "Time" follows in the same vein, but with marginally better results. The occasional bursts of speed do well to elevate the intensity level, and Maenpaa's heartfelt singing here is a high point of the album. But the track as a whole still feels a bit lackadaisical and sluggish, and it's because of the songwriting, not its length or slower tempos. I'm not bothered by the absence of solos and shredding as much as some people seem to be, but the basic lack of spark and energy to much of this music is a hard pill to swallow. It's rarely catchy, often unnecessarily technical, and can feel muddled under the weight of all of its competing sounds.
In spite of its problems, Time I isn't an unpleasant or grating listen. It's got moments that are pretty exciting, and the execution is masteful on a technical level. Jari's wide array of vocal acrobatics are impressive as always, as is Kai Hahto's superb drumming, which never fails to elevate the impact of the other instruments (though I wish he was a bit higher in the mix). And despite some rather corny choices for keyboard sounds, the overall production and presentation is pretty remarkable. It will take many listens to really get a feel for just how intricate and complex this music is -- all of the time spent behind the mixing board definitely doesn't go unnoticed here.
However, none of the above qualities are enough to compensate for songs that are rather uninteresting at a basic level. I admit that I was expecting Time I to be comprised of good material buried under too much cheese and fluff, but it really isn't that at all. It's an unsatisfying amount of average-to-mediocre material that attempts to rise to greatness through the sheer skill of its virtuosity and technical wizardry, and it doesn't quite get there. We'll see what Jari has up his sleeve for the second half of his magnum opus, but as of now, I know for a fact that at least fifty percent of the completed release of Time will be middling and disappointing.

The best way to avoid these kinds of situations is to have ongoing conversations about sexual behaviors with your kids, Myers-Walls said. "It's important for parents to realize you don't have 'the talk' and you're done."
When children are around 2, parents can discuss body parts and the differences between boys and girls, she said. As children grow a bit older, parents can talk about private parts and when it's OK (and not OK) for kids to explore their bodies. In later years, kids will ask where babies come from; you don't have to talk about birth control and abortion, but you should answer their questions simply and directly, Myers-Walls said.
"(Sex) is very different than drugs and smoking -- you don't ever want them to do that," Myers-Walls said. "Being a sexual being is who we are."
There are warning signs that your child is participating in inappropriate behavior or is being abused, Seifert said. Every day, parents should be talking to their children about their day: what happened, who they hung out with, what they did. If topics come up the child should have no knowledge about, calmly ask more questions, she suggested.
Other signs include drastic changes in behavior, trouble sleeping, eating changes or anger issues, Seifert said.
"We want people to be aware so if they're in this situation they know what to do," she said. "Even if it is something that's unfortunate that's happened to your child, there is help out there."
