Re: Calga TTLets hope so I aim to break 40min next time. Gotta aim high!
Re: Calga TTGood ride Vander for your first effort; especially with no aero bars! After riding the course a few times you'll learn where you need to push and where you need to hold back a little. The key is not to go out too hard. deliberately hold back in the first few kms - get up to full tilt going down blood hill and then freewheel till you hit the bottom. From here is where you put the foot down. on th eway back, hold back a little going into blood hill so as you can hit the hill hard rather than grovel your way up (we all grovel up it, it just by doing this you'll grovel a couple of kph faster).
It was a beatiful day for TT'ing yesterday and for a change there was no headwind on the outward leg. Cheers Chris
Re: Calga TT
Chris Cook? If you are, you came in just before I went out, amazing time! I made a big mistake on the hill before blood hill I smashed it up that and it left me in a lot of trouble up blood hill, by the time I got to blood hill I was pretty spent. Any other tips? You have to know some tricks to get to 33min.
Re: Calga TTYou can search the ATTA database for people you know here click "results", then click "search the database"

Re: Calga TT
Hi Vander, I can't really add too much to the great advice given by others such as Alex etc. What I said about holding back till the first of the hills on the outward leg and before blood hill on the return will potentially (IMO) save a decent chunk of time and make for a more enjoyable ride (well at least not quite as painful). Regarding training: If your focus is TT's you need to make sessions such as 2 x 20 mins @FTP your "bread and butter". Sprints, V02, anaerobic efforts are all way down the list of importance; if not irrelevant! Have an easy recovery day between hard sessions. Another thing that works for me is warming up at an easy/ moderate intensity on the road rather than trainer or rollers. It's too easy to overheat on the trainer; especially in summer. I used to do some hard efforts on the trainer before TT's and came to the realisation it was doing me more harm than good. You want to warm the legs up without letting your core temp get too high. If warm, ride around with your jersey open, splash some water on your self - basically do all you can to keep cool. Good luck!
Re: Calga TTDid 38:18 this morning, 41 secs better than last time I went up (April last year). Pretty happy with that considering I haven't ridden very much in the last 2 weeks because of the rain. Would be interesting to see what I could do on a full TT rig (or at least some aero wheels). I'm fairly certain I went out too hard from the start, especially after reading the comments above. I just can't help myself when I'm feeling fresh and pumped!
Re: Calga TTI also did it this morning. Managed 39:37 2min 4 sec better then last time. My legs were a lot more smashed this time after a huge ride yesterday and it took me a long time to get my HR up. It hurt oh so much. I also think I need a bike fit for the TT bars as my hip was extremely sore by about 20min in and by the time I got to the end I had to get off the bike it was so bad, combination of not the best hit and really tight ITB I think. Happy with my time. I really hammered out and up blood hill and home from there but on the way back I took it too easy (partly due to pain) and I think lost a fair bit of time there.
Averaged 280W Normalised 291W Was aiming for 300W but ill take it after how my legs felt this morning. Hr Avg 177 which I can do better then if fresh. All in all pretty happy (apart from the sore hip). Good training as at Canberra I will have to do a TT in the afternoon after a stage.
Re: Calga TT
That's an impressive time/improvement, especially considering the ride you did yesterday, there's no way I'd be able to follow up a big ride with a good TT time. I always feel smashed the day after a big ride.
Re: Calga TT
Thanks man. Your time is pretty awesome hope I can get to that sort of time. This morning when I got up I did think do I bother. It is what I am training for to be able to back up so gotta push through it. I am kind of getting used to feeling smashed. It does get better but. 100km ride used to ruin me for a few days now I can do what I did today. If you train it you get better at it works with everything.
Re: Calga TT
Even though you feel like you are holding back at the start of a TT when fresh, you are probably putting out more power than you can sustain over the distance. If you have a power meter or can get a loan of one, try a short TT in training and see how much your power spikes over the first few minutes. I don't race with one but I know in training TT's i often look down at the watts after I get up to speed and find my power is 30% or more above my FTP and it feels easy. You have to ignore this feeling and back off even though it feels easy. Keep going and it will all catch up within 5 minutes and from then on, you never really recover. Normally you trust what your body is telling you and this true at most times except the for first few minutes of a TT! Well done - hope you get up there for some more races!
Re: Calga TTI just realised how cool strava is for comparing times for this using the comparison function! Chookman I can see that obviously I did go out too hard. For the first 2 minutes we have exactly the same time, obviously you are heaps faster than me so I was going faster than I should have. It looks like that probably took it's toll on me on the way out because by the time I got to the turnaround you were about 3:17 faster than me. At the finish you were 4:48 ahead, so I didn't lose as much time coming back. I was at the top of blood hill when you crossed the line. Seriously impressed with your times!
Re: Calga TTI didnt know about that feature until you mentioned it. It is pretty cool a pitty you can only compare to the KOM being so far off Chris it doesnt really help much, but cool feature. I think it is just harder to put time in to people on the way back as it is mostly down hill whereas the uphill it is easier to put time into people I would assume.
Re: Calga TTPhillip, another factor to consider in that equation is the type of bike used. The data you have posted above would fit with where a full TT bike with TT wheels would be faster than a road bike with clip-ons and where there is little difference is the parts of the circuit where the flash equipment makes little or no benefit.
Of course that's a load of rot if you were on the same equipment So I ask the question, what equipment was used by you vs Chookman. Got bored of my signature
Re: Calga TTYeah I realise that mike, I was looking at the comparison for the differences between out/back times and also the start where we were the same, I think this can be useful when comparing pacing, as opposed to just comparing the actual raw times.
Re: Calga TTAnyway Phillip, you posted a good time for me to chase this year and I don't want to see you raising the goal posts
Got bored of my signature
Re: Calga TT
Equipment is going to make a significant difference; especially on the faster bits! TT helmet, skinsuit, aero wheels and TT bike might buy you 60- 90 secs over a roadie with clip-ons, standard helmet etc - maybe more??? The biggest limiting factor (aero wise) is the rider, so the best thing you can do if you are riding a roadie is to get as comfortably aero as you can, get a skinsuit, boot covers and aero helmet.
Re: Calga TT
Yeh, strava is good, although every time you get a KOM everyone lines up to kick your arse! The cool thing about it is you can look how different riders have paced their effort. if you click on 'performance' you can see cadence, HR, speed and power (if a PM was used) for every part of the ride. You can learn a lot from studying this info. Have fun!
Re: Calga TTHi Chookman, I'm interested in getting some TT wheels this year. what are your experiences?
Got bored of my signature
Re: Calga TT
Hi Mike, I've always used a disc with various front wheels. Currently using a Corima disc and trispoke. There's so much to choose from these days so i guess it depends on your budget. Disc and deep dish front is claimed to be the fastest combination; however i believe a 100/80 deep section combination is pretty close performance wise in most conditions. Planet X (UK) have some nice deep section wheels at really good prices. A little heavier than Zipp; however they are about 1/3 the price! I haven't used their wheels however I've read lots of good reports. I ride a planet X bike and currently have another on order and I've always had great service!
Re: Calga TTHad a surf around It's difficult to work out pricing
I wont be using the wheels very often, but I will have them for a long time Got bored of my signature
Re: Calga TTI was wondering abut dics versus deep dish... if you had say an 808 (or similar on the front). But for the rear had the choice of disc, 1080, 808 would there really be much difference?.
Beauty of 808 on the rear is I could road race with it too and put a powertap in easily. Never looked at those Planet X wheels before...prices are fantastic.
Re: Calga TT
Hi Mike, I'll do a bit of checking around and put down a couple of recommendations with some links. Give me a day or so. Cheers Chris

A goatee. This attempt at style is the modern-day equivalent of the "business in front, party in back" mentality of the never-popular mullet. Bears some resemblance to the almost detachable appearance of the mullet and always worn by a douchebag convinced that he runs with the kool kids.

A goatee. This pattern of facial hair, out of style since the US Civil War, has made a strong comeback in the early 21st century, replacing the venerable mullet haircut as a favored form of self expression (second only to tattoos) amoung those who wear "wife-beater" T-shirts and watch cars with numbers on them go around in circles. Thus, it has been dubbed "The Mullet of the 21st Century."
google NASCAR, country music, or Budweiser and you'll get plenty of examples of the face mullet.

Mourvedre Facts
Flavor Profile:
Powerful earthy and savory reds, with some serious tannins -
Food Pairings:
Stews, roasts, grilled meats -

WineAccess Travel Log
Read stories from the world's greatest wine trails.
A sparsely planted variety found predominantly in the southern Rhone, Provence, and elsewhere near the Mediterranean coast, Mourvedre is best known for its place in powerful game and earth-scented reds. One is mostly likely to encounter the grape in wines from the southern Rhone. Here, Mourvedre takes its place blended with Grenache and Syrah, notably in the wines of Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
If you want to discover what the grape offers on its own, head to the appellation of Bandol, in Provence. Provence may be best known for the widespread production of rose wines, but for serious wines in the region, Bandol is the first (and for many, the only) stop. Here, wines are dominated by Mourvedre, and in some examples, this grape is the sole variety. Because of the high percentage of Mourvedre, wines from Bandol can be fiercely tannic upon release, and often demand at least six to eight years of cellaring. After this time, this wines will gain nuance and grace, complementing their underlying savory and musky characteristics. Here, we like wines made by Domaine Tempier and Chateau Pradeaux.
In Spain, Mourvedre is known as Monastrell or Mataro, and it is planted heavily on the southeastern Mediterranean coast, including the appellations of Jumila and Yecla. Good examples come from Bodegas Castano and Bodegas El Nido.
The grape is sometimes found in very warm microclimates of the New World, especially in parts of California and Australia. Indeed, winemakers in Australia have increasingly been following the lead of their counterparts in Chateauneuf-du-Pape, incorporating Mourvedre into the increasingly prevalent GSM (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre) wines. Many of these wines are quite affordable.
As Mourvedre-based wines are generally earthy and rustic, they pair well with comparably rustic fare like meat-based stews and roasts.

Since there is no rehearsal prior to commencement, graduating students participating in the ceremony will assemble at 9:15 a.m. prior to the ceremony on the main level of the Stafford Ice Arena at the Field House in their academic regalia.
The processional will begin with students marching into the ceremony first. As in the past, baccalaureate degree candidates will follow candidates for certificates of advanced study and master's degrees. They will enter the gymnasium and walk down the center aisle to their chairs.
The faculty will then enter the gymnasium led by the Faculty Marshal and proceed down the center aisle to the first several rows of seats facing the stage in front of the students. The party platform will then complete the processional. The platform party consists of members of the College Council, College administrators, faculty leadership, representatives of the Plattsburgh College Foundation, Student Association and Alumni Association and visiting dignitaries and honorees.
Once everyone is in position, the Faculty Marshal will present the mace to the President. The President will officially open the Commencement Ceremony and make introductions. During the ceremony, the Student Commencement Speaker will present remarks on behalf of the Class of 2015.
Each graduating student in attendance for the ceremony will be formally and publicly recognized as they cross the stage. Candidates for Certificates of Advanced Study and master's degrees will receive their diploma covers first. Candidates for bachelor's degrees will then receive their diploma covers. During the awarding of degrees, graduates will approach the stage and hand their name cards to the faculty announcer. When their names are announced, graduates will walk onto the stage, receive their diploma covers, cross the stage to be congratulated by the president and then exit the stage.
Once the president concludes his remarks, the Plattsburgh State Gospel Choir will perform the Alma Mater officially ending the ceremony and the recessional will begin. The Faculty Marshal will lead the Platform Party out of the gymnasium followed by the faculty. The bagpipers will then lead the students out of the ceremony.
We ask all parents, family and friends to remain in their seats until the recessional is completed.
During the awarding of degrees, graduates will approach the stage and hand their name cards to the faculty announcer. When their names are announced, graduates will walk onto the stage, receive their diploma covers, cross the stage to be congratulated by the president and then exit the stage.
Participants receiving advanced degrees will carry their hoods to the stage. The deans of the College will confer the hoods as degree candidates walk onto the stage to be congratulated by the president.
No tickets will be required for students or their guests to attend Winter Commencement this year. However, college officials may stop the entry of guests if the Field House Gymnasium reaches capacity.
Students participating in Commencement should pick up and complete name cards at the Angell College Center Information Desk (or in the Lobby of the Field House on the day of commencement). The completed cards will be used when your name is announced during the ceremony. If you have a name that might be difficult to pronounce, please provide a phonetic spelling of your name on the card so the reader will be able to correctly annunciate your name as you cross the stage.
No. There is no rehearsal prior to commencement. Graduating students should assemble on the main level of the Stafford Ice Arena at the Field House at 9:15 a.m. (at least 45 minutes before the start of the ceremony.)
The Honors Designation at SUNY Plattsburgh is based upon your grade point average (GPA) calculated at the end of the spring or summer term along with the number of Plattsburgh credits you will have completed by the end of that semester. Students must complete at least 57 hours of Plattsburgh credits (with a minimum of 45 Plattsburgh credits graded A through E) to be eligible for honors designations at graduation.
Undergraduate students who have achieved the honor of summa cum laude, magna cum laude or cum laude will be recognized in the Commencement Program. If there are questions about your GPA status, please contact the Registrar's Office at (518) 564-2100.
All degree candidates must wear cap and gown or military dress uniform in order to participate in commencement exercises. While commencement is a formal ceremony, we do ask you to wear appropriate attire underneath your gown. The general rule is light weight, non-restricting clothes. Men do not have to wear jackets, but should wear a shirt and tie. You are requested not to wear shorts, overalls, sandals or sneakers.
Many faculty members participate in Winter Commencement. It is a time for them to see their students successfully finish their college careers at SUNY Plattsburgh. We encourage students to invite your favorite faculty members to participate and meet their family members who are in attendance for this wonderful occasion.

360°: 2011

Vertigo: 2005/06
Day Off - Somewhere nearish to Cologne
I did an interview with Simon Mayo today as part of a BBC radio documentary about U2. He's a D.J. & radio presenter who has been at BBC Radio 1 for a long time and has recently moved on to do more talk radio. He is also a great friend of mine having known each other since we were teenagers, so it was nice to have a pal come visit.
We're staying in a very pretty, if remote, old castle hotel ("some old Schloss or other") about an hour outside of Cologne. Its surrounded by trees, a lake, etc, but there's not an enormous amount to do here on a day off - particularly when its pouring with rain, which it was all day. The women in the management party were due to have a football (i.e. "Soccer" for our American readers) training session with their coach, L.Mullen Jnr., but rain stopped play. Consequently, by no particular design, people began to congregate in the lobby of the hotel. This lobby, I must add, isn't your regular Holiday Inn vibe, but more like the entrance to Count Dracula's summer residence. It featured a gigantic fireplace (with fire burning), huge sweeping stone staircase, enormous studded wooden doors, etc., and big leather couches, over which about a dozen or so of us ended up strewn. After about an hour of lounging and idling, I realized that I was bored. Completely, gloriously bored. Bored in the way that children get bored - life is full to the brim with endless potential for stimulation and excitement but right here right now you just can't be arsed doing anything. Amid the lunacy of my chosen path in life there's never normally time to be bored - I don't think I've been bored since about 1974 - so it felt illicit and luxurious to be stuck inside and listless like a crowd of teenagers on a wet weekend. We started to find ways to amuse ourselves. Silly jokes. I-spy. Charades. Then the naughtiness began. Someone dared me to slide down the banister, which of course I did. Then seeing if we could pinch the tea and cakes that were set up in the next room for a Women's Institute meeting later on. Imagine our delight then, when an entire wedding party arrived through the grand front entrance way. Whole new vistas of possibility for bad behaviour opened up before us!
To cut a long story short, we had a great night without (I think) managing to offend anyone irreparably. We befriended the bride who invited us (sort of) to join in with the late night dancing (a German Wedding Disco, could anything be finer?) and dance we did. As we strutted our stuff to a compilation of 'Hits of the 80's', I was struck by the international similarity of Wedding Dancing ∑. the mother of the bride doing the Birdie Song, the give-away gyrations of the "confirmed bachelor" cousin, the rotund great uncle spinning around with somebody's two year old niece, the bridesmaid who had one too many falling off her high heels, and always followed by a good argument in the car park at about 5am.

Discussion Of The Week - Week 3
It's a question and topic that's been discussed to death in pretty much every place horror can or has been discussed (and it's one i've even discussed at length in the past), but it's a question that cannot be left out of any respectable horror discussion so lets get it out of the way....
What is your favorite horror movie remake? Actually, to spice it up a little, and so nobody can take the easy route of The Thing or The Fly, let's cut that question down a bit. What's your favorite horror movie remake from the past ten years?
My choice is not an easy one being that i've absolutely loved several of the remakes that have come out in the past few years. Texas Chainsaw, House of Wax (fuck off!), Dawn of the Dead, and Quarantine all come to mind. But the one I was most impressed by and the one that trumps the original the most is .....
I've never been a huge fan of Craven's original, I can't lie. I own it, and I liked it enough to watch it a couple times, but i've never considered it a must see genre classic and quite frankly, I tend to get pretty bored by it. It's a movie that was just dying to be upgraded for our generation and High Tension's Alex Aja, who was a huge fan of the flick, took advantage of the groundwork Craven laid decades prior. And if you're asking me, he knocked it out of the fucking ballpark. I still can't for the life of me figure out how any horror fan could not like what Aja did with this movie. It's a balls to the wall no holds barred movie that exemplifies everything the horror genre is about. This is a true horror movie in every sense of the word and I love every second of it, no matter how many times I watch it. From the characterization to the brutal gore to the badass western revenge style cheer in your seat turn at the end, The Hills Have Eyes '06 is not only my favorite remake in the past decade, it's one of my favorite genre movies period of the past decade. If you're askin me, it really does not get much better than this.
With that, I turn the floor over to you!

It would be VERY easy for me to say 'Black X-Mas', but since that seems to be the answer to the other discussion - I'll say that I enjoyed The Hills Have Eyes...2! remake, and I liked Halloween for what it was.
- Zac - May 19, 2009 at 11:54 PM
- Nik Holmes said...
Yeah, Hills was one of the better remakes and certainly improves in alot of ways, but I'm not too great a fan of the Redneck mutant family genre overall, especially when taken to these 'monster movie' extremes. However at least they showed you can literally remake these movies and still knock out a decent movie.
Dawn of the Dead and House of Wax rocked my face off, but titles apart they were really just amazing genre movies rather than straight remakes.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre did it for me, it just looked great and really got the adrenalin pumping when I saw it on the big screen. However it's interesting that this could just have easily been a straight sequel since TCM 3 & 4 where as much remakes as this was.
The Fog has to be my least favourite, for the same reason as that other Carpenter remake Halloween, they just gave too much information. It was like hearing a joke you loved being told by a slightly senile old man.
In the end then, I'm going to have to say Dawn of the Dead. I love the idea of Zombie movies, yet 99.9% of them suck the fat one, so if the only way to get a good one out there is to cash in on someone elses past glories then I'm happy about that. And CJ is just too cool, 'tash et al. - May 20, 2009 at 3:45 AM
- Zach said...
I think I have to go with Quarantine. I really liked Hills and Dawn and Funny Games, but Quarantine did it for me. Just great.
- May 20, 2009 at 7:46 AM
I am very critical of horror remakes. I do think the Friday the 13th was a very good and necisary remake. My favorite is Dawn of the Dead. The original is a great premise but gets boring after a while. This one keeps things interesting, ie zombie baby!
- May 20, 2009 at 9:07 AM
- Gwen said...
My fave horror remake is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I know people will stone me for picking this, but I don't care. I'm in love with the cinematography. It's gorgeous and I never get tired of admiring it. The cast is great and I actually care about the characters. That wasn't the case with the original.
I also love The Hills Have Eyes, House of Wax and Dawn of the Dead. - May 20, 2009 at 10:33 AM
Unquestionably 'The Ring', it's not just a great remake, it's one of the best horror movies of the last 20 years.
I love the ideal somber blue hue aesthetics and settings which is complimented perfectly by some rich performances that really drive home that feeling of regret and abandonment.
The film also has great suspense and is chock full of eerie and frightfully scary moments. - May 20, 2009 at 10:36 AM
- Johnny said...
I'm glad most of you are in agreement with the couple I mentioned because I usually get shit on for saying those remakes are good. I think some people just can't look past the fact that they're remakes and thus hate them for no reason, which is a shame.
Quant, I too am a big fan of The Ring and it's definetly one of the better remakes out there. - May 20, 2009 at 11:59 AM
- Monkeymanbob said...
Hmmm, had to ponder long and hard over this one.
TCM & DOTD didn't need remakes, but those that were made didn't do any disservice to the orignals.
The original Hills bored the hell out of me, so the remake had no where to go but up in my estimations.
House of Wax and 2001 Maniacs were fun and I haven't seen the Rec remake, so I'm gonna have to go with The Ring, I found the batshit insanity of horses jumping around a little confusing for my noggin. - May 20, 2009 at 12:13 PM
- Johnny said...
Speaking of scary scenes! That horse jumping off the boat was pretty goddamn freaky in its own right!
- May 20, 2009 at 12:18 PM
- Nik Holmes said...
Of course, The Ring! Dawn stilll wins out for me as the better movie, but as for a direct remake I forgot how much I loved The Ring. I personally found it superior to the original as it retained the gloomy sense of dread but played into a more western fear set. in some ways it was reminiscent of Don't Look Now for me, though obviously without that movies poetic feel.
The sequel however was just a waste of time and talent.
and gwen, have to agree 100% about your TCM comments, that movie just looked GREAT up on the big screen. - May 20, 2009 at 1:24 PM
- Zacery Nova said...
I love the House of Wax remake!
- Zac - May 20, 2009 at 1:34 PM
- Johnny said...
Agreed Nik. Ring 2 was awful and I didn't even really like Ringu much, but The Ring was one of the better horror movies in the last decade period.
- May 20, 2009 at 1:44 PM
You know one kick ass remake that rarely if ever gets mentioned or repeatedly forgotten that I adore?
'Willard'! - May 20, 2009 at 3:33 PM
- Johnny said...
I've only seen parts of Willard, but I liked what I saw. I've been meaning to watch the whole thing for a while now.
- May 20, 2009 at 4:22 PM
- Bjornabo said...
Ad me to "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre"-list. Great movie, great actors and great storyline.
But I also enjoyed: The Hills Have Eyes, House Of Wax, Halloween, Black Xmas, Dawn Of The Dead, House On Haunted Hill, Quarantine, The Ring. (Don`t shoot me because of these two movies) The Eye and When A Stranger Calls. - May 20, 2009 at 5:12 PM
- Johnny said...
I'm with ya on all of them but Halloween and When a Stranger Calls. Didn't care for either of those. I haven't seen The Eye yet, mostly because I just assumed it was gonna suck. But I guess everything should be given a fighting chance.
- May 20, 2009 at 5:18 PM
- Johnny said...
Anyone else dig the Last House and Amityville remakes?
- May 21, 2009 at 12:54 AM
- Nik Holmes said...
Not seen either versions of Last House, the subject matter just seems too grim for me to give a watch and Last Houses banned status in the UK for so many years meant I never got to see it in my younger days when I was devouring anything to do with horror.
I wanted to like Amityville as I actually like the original. Unfortunately it went too far in the direction of a Dark Castle picture, with cgi and wobbly Jabods Ladder heads. These are things I enjoy in House on Haunted Hill, but not something which claims to be based on a true story.
However I did enjoy When a Stranger Calls. As a horror it kind of fell flat, but as a high quality 1970s TV movie thriller I liked it. It may help that I watched it on TV last year and so no money changed hands. - May 21, 2009 at 2:03 AM
- Johnny said...
Last House is definetly pretty brutal. Even being a seasoned horror fan, I was pretty disturbed by the remake. But that was ultimately the goal with that film, so i've gotta commend it for that.
The thing with Amityville is that i'm kinda bored by the original. I love the film and all but it does get kinda boring. I thought the remake was a nice little upgrade that's probably more entertaining a film when all is said and done. And I thought Ryan Reynolds did a pretty kickass job in it. - May 21, 2009 at 8:16 AM
- Nik Holmes said...
Hey you're right there, Ryan Reynolds is the man! He was the one good thing in Blade 3 and I hoped Amityville might lead to more serious roles from him. The guy rocks a mean beard, and i still need to see The Nines.
Will have to check out the Last house I guess, I think I could stomach rape revenge as opposed to raped, humiliated and murdered and left to mom and pop alone. Hey, maybe after that I'll get round to Irreversible, Funny Games and Martyrs, for the feelgood hits of the century! - May 21, 2009 at 9:20 AM
- Johnny said...
haha now that sounds like a fun marathon!
- May 21, 2009 at 10:09 AM
- Brad said...
My favorite was Hills tbh. That's the movie that should stand as a blueprint as to how to update an older film for new audiences.
I mean what I love about Aja is that he shows the monsters in daylight, and doesn't use the genre convention of darkness to scare you. That, and the movie is pretty high on the brutality scale.
I recommend it to everyone over the Wes Craven original, as it's more stylish and gory. - May 21, 2009 at 12:59 PM
- Johnny said...
Amen! Aja was at the top of my "future of horror" filmmakers list....until Mirrors =( Lets hope that was just a fluke!
- May 21, 2009 at 1:06 PM
- Isaac said...
i enjoyed dawn of the dead remake alot. even though it wasnt exactly a remake.
i also really liked halloween 2007.
and i never saw the original texas chainsaw massacre, but the 2003 was enjoyable. i enjoyed it alot more that the 2008 sequel/prequel. even though the scene where he fake sheriff (i forget his name) gets his head bashed on the floor was awesome. probably because i hated the guy so much. lol
does it count even if i havent seen the original?? - June 4, 2009 at 4:08 PM
- Johnny said...
Sure it counts Isaac!
- June 4, 2009 at 8:04 PM
with regards to the remake of "HOUSE OF WAX" (which i thought was absolutely magnificent and ludicrously under-rated) i could never understand why people kept trashing paris hilton and her acting abilities, as far as i`m concerned she was no better or worse than any of her co-stars. The only thing that was missing from the film was a lesbian scene between paris and elisha cuthbert, that would have made the film perfect.
- July 16, 2009 at 10:51 AM
- Brian Roswell said...
Let's see...for me it breaks down like this:
The Good:
The Hills Have Eyes
Halloween (and by extension, it's sequel, which I liked more than the original H2 to be honest.)
The Last House On The Left
Dawn Of The Dead
The Ring
The Bad:
Every Platinum Dunes remake.
Prom Night
The Fog
When A Stranger Calls
House Of Wax
Black X-Mas
The Eye
My Bloody Valentine 3D
The Stepfather
The Omen
The Grudge
I'm sure there are more I could add to both lists, but those are pretty much the main ones. - February 20, 2010 at 7:16 PM
- Guess said...
I haven't watched many remakes of horror film but the grudge was good, friday the 13th was good (could also work as a sequel)I didn't like my bloody valentine that much and hated Halloween.
- April 22, 2011 at 4:37 AM
- Eric Flapjack Ashley said...
The few horror remakes I liked:
The Hills Have Eyes
My Bloody Valentine 3D
Last House of the Left
The Blob (1988)
The Thing (1982)
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The Ring
The Grudge
Night of the Living Dead (1990)
I also liked Dawn of the Dead, but I think it is because it was so dissimilar to the original that I don't even think of it as a remake but as a stand alone movie.
The ones I absolutely hated:
Halloween II
The Stepfather
Prom Night
Piranha 3D
Friday the 13th
A Nightmare on Elm Street
When a Stranger Calls
Black X-Mas
The Amityville Horror
April Fool's Day
Night of the Living Dead 3D
The Fog
Fright Night
Day of the Dead (2005)
I also kind of enjoyed the 2011 prequel of THE THING as well. - December 8, 2012 at 9:24 AM

Additional Information
More information about this loan
This Kiva loan will be used to provide borrowers with needed goods or services, as opposed to cash or financial credit.
Maharishi students repay their loans with work-study wages while attending school. However, due to the unpredictable nature of their work-study schedules, they may not be able to make regular repayments. In these instances, Maharishi Institute provides an advance that is deducted from students' future wages. This gives student borrowers more flexibility in meeting their loan repayment obligations while they are still in school.
Important Information
The Maharishi Education for Invincibility Trust (MEIT) extends educational opportunities to poor and historically excluded students in South Africa. By combining distance and computer learning with practical experience, the institute equips students with access to the skills and training they need to compete in tough job markets and build bright futures. Kiva funding will help students pay for tuition and other basic expenses so they can study and thrive.Maharishi students take out loans for each year of tuition separately on Kiva. Each concurrent loan's repayment period begins after the previous load has been fully repaid.

New York post-show - Talking heads.
New York post-show - Talking heads. Two ancient New York matrons talk about fur, bras, Saks and the loneliness of widowhood.
Overheard an extraordinary conversation in a Manhattan diner booth this morning. Two older women who both looked like a cross between Barbara Cartland and Lucille Ball, real New York 'Old Money', very well dressed, dyed red hair, very white foundation and one of them doing all the talking. I sat reading 'Popism' and it all just fitted together somehow. The woman's monologue was extremely loud, oblivious to the fact that practically the whole place could hear her. She started with a long tirade about her investment broker, which I phased in and out of, then she talked a lot about broken blood vessels around her eyes and getting her neck "done", which sounded a little frightening, wandering through various medical items most of which I tried to blank, but then out of nowhere: "I want to buy a new mink coat. I need a lift, I really do. I want to buy a new mink. It'll be the last one I buy in my life and I need a lift. A light one, with dark trim and long. Like a sable, well, a mink, you know. A light one with a little collar, and long. And some beige shoes, some simple beige shoes, and a little CoCo dress. I need a lift and oh, just once I'd like to be dressed like that." Her older companion mutters off-handly 'well, buy it then', before the monologue resumes. "Did you read about Zha Zha in the newspaper? Did you see her? Saying she was the last of her blood. Well, I'm the last of my blood and I have been all these years that Jack's been gone. I'm on my own and if I've only got a little while left, then let me be happy. Last Sunday I got up early and do you know what I did? After I'd got up and dressed myself nicely, I took a cab up to Saks on Fifth Avenue. I took a cab to Saks. It was a lovely morning, so I got up and took a cab to Saks. I went into their bra department and they only had one of the kind that I wear, so I got that and then looked for a half slip, but really I couldn't find anything, there's something about the colours they do now. So I bought the bra, the one they had, and I went up to the restaurant. I went up to the restaurant and I sat by myself and the place was full of couples. Couples eating and drinking and talking to each other. And I ate very slowly and then I had three cups of coffee so I could stay and watch all these couples and some were drinking wine and you know, toasting each other with their glasses, lifting their glasses and laughing and talking and I watched them all for a long time and I watched and I watched and I couldn't believe that once I had lived like that... then when I left, I walked right up the Avenue and through the park and I carried on walking, a long walk, and I walked until I just couldn't walk any more..."

Got Snakebit
By Jobber Jim
from Hobe Sound, FL.
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Got snakebit on an original tube (Kenda I believe) and replaced with Nashbar tube. Nashbar seems to be thicker and would be easier to install if it was packaged in talcum powder. Stem length was perfect for my road bike.
Decent tubes
By Hermi
from San Francisco, Ca
About Me Avid Cyclist
Bought a lot of tubes over the years. These work as well as any other tubes. I've never had any issues with them. Good light weight tube for the price. Best tubes for the price. You can pay more for maybe slightly better tubes. I'll stick with these.

I always like to have a spare tube in addition to a patch kit. Had one split on the seam once, but that's to be expected
By Denny

One of the tubes you sent me had a bad stem. Could not use. Too much trouble to return to you. Disappointed.
Doesn't live up to "Billing"
By Joe
from Greenvill;e, SC
I experienced a flat the first time out. I repaired the flat, which appeared to be a defect in the rubber. I received a replacement at no cost. I replaced it with one of the other tubes I originally purchased, and that also went flat, the first time out. I am now using one of the original tubes with two patches. In two rides of 20 miles each, it has not gone flat. Is it possible you have a batch of defective rubber tubes?J.M. Julian

Good Enough for Daily USe
By Dan The Man
from Huntington Beach CA
So tubes are not the sexiest things you can buy for your bike. They are invisible but provide an important service, sort of like underwear. Nobody but you knows you have cheap underwear on. I buy these when they go on sale and stock up. They are great for a daily rider, but probably not the best for hard core racers. I find these very durable, and when used with a Mr. Tuffy liner, very durable with no issues. Install them and forget about them.
Replacement tubes
By Rick
from Rockmart, Ga.
The stems were the perfect size. I'd had problems finding the correct stem at retail outlets. This site is where I'll shop from now on.
They work
By Tom
from Kaysville, UT
I like the long stem. I have been using these for years and I have never gotten a defective one.
