Hello, first do you live in or near Vancouver? If you do, then have you ever seen the actresses Emily Perkins or Katharine Isabelle in person? Thank you.
Emily Perkins played the informant Sue on DaVinci's Inquest.

The above is not suspicious or creepy in any way whatsoever.

I believe we have just witnessed a critical glitch on someone's Matrix legwork roll.

HOW DO STALKER SUBTLETY!!!?!?!?!?!
HeavyMetalYeti
Did you atleast bring your own bushes to hide in?
olddogtree
How can you say such things? How can you say such things about us? What we have is more than just the love of a man for a picture on the television screen. IT IS REAL! love.gif


I tried to find a way to post a picture of mrs. Perkins, but I don't know how to get a picture from google to here.

Emily Perkins... rings a bell... *imdb search*
Ah yes, the girl from Ginger Snaps. She's pretty cool. I saw Ginger Snaps 3 when it screened at the Fantasia Festival here in Montreal, she was there in person for some Q&A.

Which means I win since I directly talked to her without having to resort to creepy threads asking Adam for information (who lives in Ontario, I do believe, by the way).

It would have already been less creepy had you asked for "people living in Vancouver" rather than a) stalking adam so that you can b) stalk Emily Perkins wink.gif

IIRC Adam lives in Edmonton. Few thousand kilometers from Vancouver.

Ok, seriuosly, this LolCats crap has to stop. Posting in proper english is in the ToC, so don't make me break out warnings for this stuff! smile.gif

So, stop. smile.gif

Actually, Lolcats has a consistent grammar associated with it, so it is classified as a dialect. Since English doesn't have a governing body, all dialects are "proper" when used by people who speak them.

Using lolcat on the internet is precisely as proper a use of English as calling your z a "zed" while in Canada or calling your underwear "pants" while in the UK. The sentences: "How so I shot web?" or "I cannot brain today - I have the dumb" are grammatically correct because they would be phrased the same way by all lolcat dialect speakers. Grammar + Vocabulary = Dialect. Welcome to the beginning of Matrix Speak.

This is one area where you really do not want to push me or play semantics games with me, Frank. Seriously.

Did...did I actually get a semi-official (albeit non-orange) warning for making a "HOW DO FIREARMS REALISM!?!?" joke? In a useless-from-the-start-should-have-been-a-PM-anyway thread?
Wow.
My first and only warning on this board, and it's for that. Excuse me, my reality filter seems to be malfunctioning.

Now, in order to attempt to keep this post on-topic, I'm going to take a wild guess at what the topic might actually be and add that I recently saw Ginger Snaps 3, and it was good. I was expecting a bad sci-fi channel movie and was pleasantly surprised.

Nahh, not a warning. Note the lack of the word "Warning" and the orange text. More of just a plea on my part. My orange response to Frank had more to do with Frank's general posting habits and attitude than anything else.

And the Ginger Snaps movies are wierd, but decent. I kinda have the hots for the girl who played Ginger smile.gif

Yeah, I know. When I do go over the line, you'll go all orange, like some kind of freaky orange Ork-version of the Incredible Hulk.

Oh yeah? Good, it's not just me, then. Seeing Ginger Snaps Back the other day was actually my only exposure to the series. I've been thinking about tracking down the first two. Worth doing, then?

If you liked the third, then yeah.

Interesting thing about it really is that they kinda twist the werewolf myth a bit, and the entire thing is basically an allegory for a girl becoming a woman, puberty, and the like. It's actually a bit more disturbing than a straight horror film when viewed in that light.

Although to be fair, the lycanthropy = puberty thing has been done before, as in Teen Wolf.

The most elegant metaphorical treatment of puberty was probably Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid. Which is of course different from the Disney version. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Mermaid

True. Though in this one, it goes a bit further. Specifically female puberty. Once a month for a few days? Etc, etc? smile.gif

She's got the curse. grinbig.gif What a great tagline.

Yeah, but Michael J. Fox never head to bury mutilated corpses in his backyard. Ginger Snaps is about becoming a woman if woman = feral killing machine. I honestly don't know if that's feminist or anti-feminist. It is substantially more of a body-horror movie than teen wolf ever was.

The first two Ginger Snaps movies should be watched in order, since the second follows soon after the first. The secomnd has a mind-screw ending that is worth seeing at least once and is great inspiration.

But I think you were kidding, anyway.
Adarael
Yeah, I was. Mostly I wanted to carry the puberty-as-monstrosity thing a bit further, and if Victorian English social mores have taught me anything, it's that whacking off is more dangerous than bathing in plutonium dust.

Dude, everyone wants to bang Ginger. She's a little minx.
Wounded Ronin
How well known is this actress? If not very it's always a good idea to use the internet and organize an unholy amount of people to suddenly delgue her with fan mail all at once.

There was a little known prawn star, Misty Mondae, who had appeared in one fantasy-themed prawn called "Lord of the G Strings". I thought it would be funny to do the above to her, because she'd had a website, but I never got around to it.

The Ginger Snaps movies have a bit of a cult following, and I've seen her in other stuff.

Katherine Isabelle at IMDB

I actually first IMDB'd her after seeing her on Smallville. She's popped up in a bunch of geek shows that I watch since then... Stargate, Psych, Supernatural. smile.gif

Ginger better not be that hot I am screwed when my GF make my watch them all later this year. On a side note how good are these movies average or above average?
Backgammon
Hmmm.... they were very good when a) they were new and b) I saw them as a teenager. If I were to watch them now, they'd still be good, but not cult-following good. Plus I probably wouldn't want to bang Ginger so much. Maybe just a little.

So yeah, they're decent. Just don't try to make a conneciton between thre 3rd one and the 2 first one. That path leads to insanity.
Dumori
Ah ok then.

QUOTE
Katharine refuses to do nude scenes, and has had a body double for every instance where such a scene exists, including the bed and shower scenes in Freddy vs. Jason (2003), the rising from the bed scene in Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning (2004), and the bed scene in Engaged to Kill (2006) (TV), to name but three. The same woman body-doubled the latter two.

WTF, if I were an actor, I'd do nude scenes. Except I'd use a black magic marker to draw a six pack on my belly.
