Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Kill This Thread X: The Sixth 24-Hour Thread

It's been a little over a year since we last started one of these threads and it's been about seven months since it was finally done in. I think we need to do it again.

The following rules were established by Kent at the start of the first 24-hour version, adapted from the original rules by EDE:

The rules:

1. The Basic Idea: Post to this thread, if no one posts after you for 24 hours, you win!

2. Posts that are not direct responses to one of the five preceding posts are ineligible to win. The topic can drift, but no complete non-sequitors. Posts that are responses to non-sequitors are also ineligible to win. Posts that are responses to responses to non-sequitors, and responses to those posts, etc., become eligible, however.

3. In the event that this thread is locked, there shall be no winner unless a new thread is started for the contest. Furthermore, any post that results in the banning of the poster shall also be ineligible to win.

4. So, more precisely, one wins if one makes a post, and then no one makes another post that's eligible to win for 24 hours.

All right, boys and girls. Kill this thread!

I wonder if no one posts to this thread, if you would win just by putting the rules up. Oops. Guess not.

I would have won, of course, but the allure of potentially killing this thread is irresistible.

And to think that ordinarily, killing a thread is a mortifying experience.

Can we Mordrufy this thread instead?

But then it might come back as a zombie!

I'm so over zombies. I get vampires. I don't get the fascination with zombies one bit.

Vampires are much sexier

Blaze calls me his sexy little vampire because I'm pale and "hypnotic".

...and you keep his blood in small jars in the fridge.

I reckon zombie films are a almost wish fulfilment for people who want to break free from the society they are trapped in, even if it means having an apocalyptic event to do so.

I got past vampires with the RPG and Zombies with similar games like All Flesh must be eaten and the board games.

As for movies, Nosferatu from 1920ish and Night of the Living Dead are up there as favs.

In the Flesh is a really good and different take on the Zombie thing.

Watching a series set after humanity has beaten back the victims of Partially Deceased Syndrome and how the recovering PDS suffers try to reintegrate into their home towns was fascinating.

Bah. Zombies will kill this thread.

I'm so over zombies.

In fact, I'm so over horror films in general. I can't even remember the last time I enjoyed a new one. And I have no inclination to watch the older ones that I like.

It's been a while, but I think I'd like to see some of the '30s horror classics. I may show the 1931 Dracula for my classic movie program in October.

I'm like that with a lot of things at the moment. I've not seen too many good films for a while and I've no inclination to dig out the old ones I've already seen.

Perhaps I'll dig out my emergency horror film: The Ghoul. It's like my emergency Christmas movies: Muppet Christmas carol or Scrooged.

Actually, I'm like that for music now too, so recommendations welcome. Unless you'd rather this thread died.

I don't usually enjoy horror movies, so I'm hard-pressed to judge whether the ones I've seen are good or bad.



I watched Dracula, Poltergeist and the Exorcist when I was very young. I think I was too young then...

On the other hand, I enjoyed Scary Movie quite a lot.

My favorite horror movie of all time is Suspiria. I think anyone who loves the medium of cinema itself should watch that movie.

Yeah, come to think of it, I might be able to get myself to watch that one again...

Everything I've heard about it points to it being a very good movie indeed. Its sequels are supposedly underrated (though not spectacular) gems too.

I think my all-time favorite sequel is still Superman II. I had such a crush on General Zod when I was a teenager.

I loved the scene where Zod and the Kryptonians used their super-breath. I don't know why, it made me laugh so much.

It was kind of funny and a clever use of one of my all-time favorite super-powers.

I tried to mimic super breath once. Got so dizzy I had to sit down

I haven't tried to kill a thread in a long time ...

Maybe you can kill this thread with super breath?

Just don't ask Pov to kill this thread with some other gas powered exhalation.

I was about to say that I rewatched Profondo Rosso, but that it hadn't grown on me too much. But actually, there are a number of scenes that pop up in my mind that were actually quite decent. The relationship between the two main characters is worth watching the movie for, even if nothing else appeals.
