Dark Tower...  I am just going to call you DT.

Well, DT... The Dark Tower is a rather complicated story.  Basically, it's about a universe parallel to our own, where there are remnants of technology present, but there is also magic and monsters.  If you have ever played Fallout, then you would have an idea about the setting of the books.  I don't want to spoil anything by telling too much about the story, but the main character is very cool, and the story features a few crossovers from other King books, and I believe that it has the finest plot of any of his books.

Funny thing about parallel universes is they're real. Timeline, by Michael Crichton, had some excellent evidence supporting it. Basically, there are an infinite amount of universes, one for every possible iteration of existence. There's some where the only difference between it and this one is that I misspell Michael Crichton's name, there's one where I don't post this at all, and there's one where I just plain don't exist. It's pretty mind boggling, if you think about it. That's actually how the "time travel" in Timeline works- although the method implimented is a bit far fetched, they basically send people through a wormhole to a parallel universe which is at the stage our planet was at, say, 1350, where the only difference is that a blade of grass is a millimeter taller. Really interesting stuff.

Hey Mouse CLicker, Return of the King movie will be as long as it should be to complete the trilogy. So it might be longer than 3 or 4 hours long.
Or so I've heard.

[mouse_clicker]

It won't be 4- PJ's shot that rumor down himself. It will most likely still be around 3 1/2 hours long, though, but that's mainly because it has to include a lot that was excluded from The Two Towers. Even so, 3 1/2 hours is long and you'd THINK the Scouring of the Shire would be in it, but it wasn't even written.

Mouse Clicker, I believe that's known as the Superstring Theory.  It's been a while since I have dealt with the mathematical paradoxes such as those.  My brother was the one who was really into that, as he was the mathematician of my family.  He had his own theory to bring to the mix, but he died before he could publish it.  I have always intended to publish it for him, but I have a hard time working my mind around much of his math, and I have difficulty understanding it.  This comes from a former Engineering student, so don't take that lightly.

Time travel is very real, as is the parrellel universe theory.  Just look back at the Philadelphia experiment or Montauk.

Back to disturbing movies for a moment-i'd recommend the entire David Lynch catalogue.  The Elephant man, Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, Wild at heart, The lost Highway and Mulholland drive.(Dune, but Lynch admits its his worst as the budget wasnt up to snuff))  I love Mulholland drive, but as with the rest of my suggestions, its either love it or hate it.   He makes by far the most disturbing movies out there, especially Mulholland, Bllue velvet and The lost highway.  Go rent them now!!!!!!!!!

[The Omen]

Watched The Lost Highway again tonight.  Definately disturbing.  You would think David Lynch is insane after watching his movies, but i've met him once, albeit in a group of other more known people, and he is an almost normal guy.  His mind just sees things differently, like mine!  I wonder if he likes Jack Daniels like i do?

[mouse_clicker]

Garey Busey- that man is insane. I haven't seen him in anything except I'm With Busey on Comedy Central, but I think that man has some issues.

[Hostile Creation]

My current goals are to watch Donnie Darko and a Clockwork Orange.  They have sounded good from all sources.  Now all I have to do is save up enough money to rent a movie. . . yeah, F-Zero drained me completely.

[The Blue Baron]

Joe Dirt is possibly the scariest movie known to man.  I did not sleep for days after seeing it.  The hair, the plot, the badness...It was horrible.  

I think Busey has split personalities.

[The Omen]

Freddie got fingered makes Joe dirt look like Gone with the wind.

And i'm covinced Busey doesn't act, he is these characters he plays.  Thats disturbing.
