I think I'm going to start photographing nude models. I did it once and it was awesome. Yeah theres the obvious part of it but it's like you're a real photographer. I just don't know how to find clients.
It would probably work. I was at a 70 person field party and by the end of the party there was a professional photo shoot going on. One model, one photographer and one car. I mean it's easier than it sounds.
I have my anthology outline in your thread now Alien.

no. the thread must go on for as long as it has to. Back home at TWF, our Battle For The Last Post! thread is give or take nine years old and has 200-ish pages and 9,000 posts.

we can totally outdo that. Some of us will die along the way but the forum will live on! Viva la forum.
Pet peeve of the day: Scally lads who wear Stussy caps and have their pants pulled down so you can see their boxers. Then they expect me not to touch? I mean, seriously?

In a similar vein; hot boy in my class always puts himself into "accidental" sexual poses. And gets the shit kicked out of him. This annoys me because it's illegal to harm cute people.

and they give me fucking revision to do over christmas. thank you, school. On another note, any of you know a really good movie I should see? I watch pretty much everything, save for most comedy.

That's fucked up, you can only watch Requiem once in my experience. I mean, I know people who own the DVD and shit and who do watch it occassionally but for me once did it.
Crash.
Training Day.
but I love comedies, it's hard for me to resist going in that direction. 80% of my movie collection is comedies. Have you ever seen the original Clerks?

@ Renfield - those pictures are hilarious. Those sites are depressing. Made me laugh in Damned when she mentioned that was a popular career choice for the recently condemned.

Demi, you should also explore the films of Whit Stillman (Metropolitan, Barcelona, The Last Days of Disco). Noah Baumbach as well.

Fuck. I am of the strong opinion that every time you view that film it steals a piece of your soul. Watch it too many times and you end up just like the mother--or the girlfriend, depending on how close together you repeat viewings.
I've seen it more than once, usually in a moment of "You haven't seen this? You have to see it RIGHT NOW." Then I spend the entirety of the viewing and a few days after thinking "Oh, god, why the FUCK did I watch that again?"
Pi had a similarly prounounced effect on me, although it didn't make me want to kill myself (unless you count the undeniable urge to chainsmoke the mind fuck away a slow suicide).

The old man saying ass to ass gets me every time. Magnolia is another emotional rollercoaster, when I first saw it in the theater I was furious then I learned to appreciate it. Its so damn dark though and that insane ending.

Well, at least you didn't feel compelled to try the electric drill lobotomy. I thought Pi was way more interesting than Requiem.
More interesting? Yes. More emotionally turbulent? No.
I remember feeling like I might have a panic attack watching Pi, though--to be fair, I am shit with numbers, so it may not have been the storytelling or cinematography that caused that.

I think Magnolia and Requiem are definitely two movies that made me sob and felt like I was losing my mind while watching them and that is rare for me. I think the part where they break into song, "It's not going to stop, just give up" is heartbreaking. Those are two movies you don't want to show someone who is suicidal.

I think it's stupid when men pretend they don't sob. I'm not sure how presenting a lack of emotions equals courageousness. Where I'm from, that's called being a sociopath.

Here's a list, courtesy of my boyfriend, of cry-worth films (in no particular order) :
The Road Home
The Last Samurai
Gladiator
Night and Fog
Grave of the Fireflies (if you don't cry at this, you are not human)
Gattaca
Schindler's List
Thin Red Line
Dances With Wolves
He also tears up from science videos. A lot of what makes him cry isn't from sadness, but from being so overwhelmed with emotion from the power in these films.

Grave of the Fireflies is the saddest movie I have ever seen. Breathtaking.
Also, I saw those cam photos and started giggling uncontrollably whilst also being paranoid I might show up in them. I tried the cam scene a couple of times, partly research for a story, partly curiosity. I made too much money, got scared and ran away. If someone asked me to put my keyboard on my head, I totally would, just because I thought it was funny.
Aliensoul, I don't think it's nice to say a Fleshlight is a 'sad invention for lonely men'. I hate that kind of stereotyping/stigmatizing. Sex toys are awesome. In my opinion. I am far from sad and lonely and I have them. No shortage of the real stuff though. I don't see why guys shouldn't be able to enjoy the same benefits without getting made fun of for it. That's just me, though.
Also, Jack, checkout ModelMayhem.com for nude models. You'll probably need to have some shots of clothed models up in your portfolio first though, and preferably they will be good (good camera is pretty much necessary here). You said you want them as your clients - does that mean your in the photography biz already? Or you just think it'd be cool for girls to pay you to take photos of them naked? Haha. Either way - you'd probably need a prettyy good portfolio to get people to book nude shoots on a semi-regular basis. Anything can happen though.

@Arky. THAT'S YOU ARKADIA; naw, you don't sound too bad. We all have a sex stage in our life, where the only drive is that of our penises/vaginas. I must say, sex toys are pretty awesome. However, buttplugs scare me. Oddly, being tied up doesn't....i should stop talkin now.

Glad I don't sound toooo bad ;)
I think I'm past the 'peak' of my 'sex stage', being in a six-year relationship tends to do that to a person, but I am just generally interested in sexuality as an academic subject. I don't think that will ever change. I resent a lot of the taboos placed on sexual pleasure and nudity, I think they're unnecessary and a cause of a lot of preventable issues in the world. But I won't even get started on the subject, because I haven't managed to find my 'off' button yet.
I understand the aversion to buttplugs. Just the word, even. To plug up the butt. Great. Sexy. Totally.
I think you'll be hard-pressed to find someone that doesn't like being tied up, when they're being honest with themselves.
We'll we'd see, but you'd kind of miss what's up.
That's what you think.
ohshit zombie avery!
1,100 posts. I need a girlfriend. Or maybe just a life in general.
When you reach 2000 posts, you get a free fleshlight.
...do i want to know what a fleshlight is?
No, you really don't. Its a sad invention for lonely men. Otherwise known as the pocket pu....
Feels like your F-in a flash light haha.
I think I'm going to start photographing nude models. I did it once and it was awesome. Yeah theres the obvious part of it but it's like you're a real photographer. I just don't know how to find clients.
Set up your studio in a van outside Walmart so they know you are legit. Or put up Craigslist ads and make sure to say "don't worry I'm not a rapist".
It would probably work. I was at a 70 person field party and by the end of the party there was a professional photo shoot going on. One model, one photographer and one car. I mean it's easier than it sounds.
I have my anthology outline in your thread now Alien.
You think I could talk a bunch of straight guys into posing naked together and playing flag football and say it's an Abercrombie shoot.
Only if you promised them that you would shoot it in black and white I suppose.
This thread makes more sense now. Last post before they close the site for maintenance wins.
Ready, Set, Go.
Ooh, playin' putt putt and what not.

renfield, what the fucking fuck?
Thats awesome. I was on one of those but every one just wanted to see the chick's feet everytime. Free chat is laaaame.
Renfield--are you sacredgoat?
No, that's some Swedish metalhead from a different message board I'm on. Those are from a couple years ago, and still hilarious.

Irreversible.
Memento, how could I forget memento.
or, for that matter, Pi (the symbol).
@ Renfield - those pictures are hilarious. Those sites are depressing. Made me laugh in Damned when she mentioned that was a popular career choice for the recently condemned.
Thank you guys ~~~<3
Demi, you should also explore the films of Whit Stillman (Metropolitan, Barcelona, The Last Days of Disco). Noah Baumbach as well.
Nkwilczy--what? Requiem is a comedy, isn't it? Lol
Magnolia is a great movie too, very light holiday entertainment.
@Aylee the 1998 one about people interacting, or.......
A movie I watched alone in the cinema and regretted:
Twilight: New Moon.
Alien - HA! Yes, Magnolia: a light holiday entertainment. In all seriousness though, that's one of my favorite movies.
Fuck. I am of the strong opinion that every time you view that film it steals a piece of your soul. Watch it too many times and you end up just like the mother--or the girlfriend, depending on how close together you repeat viewings.

which magnolia is this?

I remember feeling like I might have a panic attack watching Pi, though--to be fair, I am shit with numbers, so it may not have been the storytelling or cinematography that caused that.
This is Magnolia.
ok thanksies.
I'll keep coming to this thread if Renfield promises to post those screenshots on each page. I get such joy from scrolling past them.
