different things ---------------- as usual you will find some hot video-reviews by deltar/tsm and... another board review, but this dime we had a look at a top hack & phreak board, check it out... but at first, here's a veeeeeery important information from crumbsucker of empire concerning "gameboy's" etc... 'gameboy is only good when you are on the toilet and have nothing better to do...read a book instead.' ed. he's got the clue !! august 1991 movie reviews lots of movies broke out since our last issue! as per usual, some are a bit on the slow side, but there are enough to get you outta the house and in to the theatres... terminator ii:judgement day unless you've been in a cave, this is the movie to see this summer! with a picture that went over budget to over $88 million, it's easy to see where it all went! the special effects are very well done. great sound as well. (+) schwarzenegger reappears once again "au natural" with an improved optic scan. finding a biker with the same dimensions as himself he proceeds to let this dude know that he wants his clothes in no uncertain terms, and has no problems applying a li'l heat to get what he wants... in another part of town another visit is made by a nudist from the future. his choice of clothing comes from a policeman, but is not taken in a very friendly manner... linda hamilton reprises her role as the mother of john o'connor. since the last movie john has been born and she has been placed in a sanitarium. (+) edward furlong takes the role of john o'connor. john is now a rebellious kid whose mother is locked up in a nutward and has left him to be raised by young foster parents... the movie trailers have shown all the action sequences, so i won't attempt to go in to any of them. you've got to see them for yourself... the ending is somewhat anti-climatic, but leaves you with a good feeling! if there's a terminator iii, it will be a surprise to me. see it! it's well worth the time and money! rating **** (+) point break how about that, keanu reeves can speak without saying 'way dude' every other sentence! patrick swayze doesn't even do a tango in this flick. onwards... johnny utah(reeves) is an fbi agent fresh from the academy and assigned to work with an older partner(gary busey) on a series of bank robberies. this is a thrill for both of them. after a few wisecracks about each others ages and what they can/can't do they settle in to a comfortable understanding of each other. busey has a theory... (+) since the robberies have been done for the past 3 years; and only between the months of july to october, busey has deduced the robbers are surfers... with a bit of eco-investigation and a bit of serious binocular watching, the two come up with a section of a local beach that has, tah-da, surfers on it! bodhi(swayze) is the leader of a pack of thrill seeking surfers. no wave too big, no pipeline we can't go through. utah infiltrates the group via an old girlfriend(?) of bodhi. yeah, yeah, a boy meets girl thing, but boy lies in order to get info and then has guilty feelings after learning how to surf & then boffing the girl... (+) fantastic water photography! one might even think they'd get wet in some of the scenes. the storyline is very thin but plausible, to a point... see for yourself, swayze without shirt and beard just might be what the girl friend would like to see! rating **3/4 mobsters universal pics. what a lineup we have to put across a movie of the historical(?) beginning of the syndicate in america! (+) christian slater as 'lucky' luciano, patrick dempsey as myer lansky, from tv, richard grieco as 'bugsy' siegel; hit man for lansky and from down under costas mandylor as frankie costello... what we have here is a bit of american history, set to acetate. the storyline is all too familiar, but thanks to the progress of the movie industry, we are treated to more than just the sound of machine guns blaring and foul words. the ascension of luciano is sped up to breakneck speed, but aside from that it follows textbook reporting... (+) sherilyn fenn plays lucianos' 'moll' and does well considering that had a movie of this sort be made in the '50s with the same people, she'd have never been able to do what she does here... check out the new cagneys, bogarts and rafts in "mobsters". it's refreshing! rating ***1/2 some quick must-see titles for you. i don't want you to start complaining about my writing... nahhhh, you're too kind for that, right??? (+) v.i. warshawski - patterened after the warshawski series of books. look for the sequels to this!!! boyz n' the hood - gang violence at its finest. if we could relate to the setting, it'd be better... doc hollywood - will michael fox ever be able to get away from this type of goo in this life? (+) will be back again next month with a few more reviews of what's coming out of hollywood... remember, i don't make, just watch 'em deltar of tsm press plus. board-review ------------ board: fallout group(s): attacker sysop: axel rose number: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX introduction by the sysop... 'days been up: 5 months...the story behind fallout is that a friend of mine ran it and i was cosysop on it.. i made it the #1 h/p board for a long time.. well some lamers got ahold of his parents' number; the lamers were tangerine and they told his mom the bullshit about being 'ss' and shit like that... well when he got home he told his parents everything...so they dropped his line..well there were no local h/p boards near to me so i decided to start back up fallout with me as sysop... ..been striving for #1 h/p board for a long time...last rating was 2 to 3 months ago and it was #3. that is the story behind fallout became a new one.. the rules are simple... 1. post twice every call..manatory at least once. i don't delete because someone doesn't post once in a while, but if i see a problem then i warn them. 2. no wares, just h/p text files or hackers... once in a while i do ask for a game to play (mainly adventure games) that i don't have rules for applying: 3- referances 2- boards 2- codes another rule to the simple rules is: 3. keep the shit related to the sub- title...like anarchy in anarchy, not code sub or any of that shit.. 4. and finally, don't be lame.' the board has 8 subs, 2 of them are private, the other ones are: 1) h/p bullshit 3) x.24 networks 2) 800/950 only 4) credit cards 5) at&t's/vmb's 6) internet hacks on the whole the board has 100 users, and surprisingly only about 15 of them are europeans. quite astonishing considering that normal wares boards are usually composed of half americans/half euros you won't find any kind of judgement here, since those kind of boards consist mainly of codes etc, which usually don't last too long anyways.the only things that could be judged are the quality of codes, the sysop's character and the users/posts we will leave that out though... -cr
