Doom the movie. Has anyone noticed....

Yeah but Doom 3 was still scary, and still had hell. I'd like to see a
movie other than South Park that actually shows hell. Did anybody here
see Constantine?
There's something about the whole, albeit cliched depiction of hell with
all the symbolism and candles and stuff that gets to me through my
catholic upbringing. I will absolutely never forget the summer I spent
at a camp run by this monastic order where this freaky camp counselor
read to us from Dante's Inferno every night after lights out, I think I
was 11.
Scarred for life.

Didn't see Constantine. I have seen a few "hell" related flicks. There
are lots of 'B' budget variations on the theme. After a bit of thought,
almost all that I've seen seem to have a (so-called) catholic hell theme.
The one that I've seen the entire series to that kinda breaks the mold is
the Hellraiser movies. Yeah, it's still in the 'catholic hell theme', but
with a decidedly Franciscan (dark ages) flavor. Have you seen these Inglo?
It's a strong and loooong story. I think there are four, maybe five now.
Jaws gave me nightmares. So did these for a while. Even Nighmare On Elm
Streets Freddy Kruger is a bad apple out of hell.
Doom3 was scary, but at a deep level for me. Seeing the woman lying on the
floor, dying.... and the Lost Soul rips out of her head... that one got to
me. The movie Doom had the right 'entry level' creatures. For the wrong
reasons. The story was changed fundamentally. Call it 'Doom Lite', if you
will.

You probably can't depict hell in a modern movie as it will be considered
insulting to some maniacal religious extremists.

Gotta agree with McG. At least our current Commander in Chief is
trying to do a job the former one ignored.

Well, (with Hillary hot on the campagn trail) he does have a lot of

Wonder if Ms. Anan's considered a "hottie?" :-0

Yeah, but all that's still better than getting your ass blown to
shreds just because you refuse to (be forced to) embrace another
ethnic groups supposed deity.

How about against it's own people?

Tell that to the Kurds.

Who T.F. said the above statement had anything to do with Iraq,
Genius?

Saddam sure as hell didn't fly those airliners into the WTC (He might
have danced about it afterwards upon hearing the news of it happening
though).

Goddamn, you left wing Bush haters sure are a touchy lot. :-/

So, let me get this straight here then. Whatever facts the
"warmongers" report as the truth regarding the invasion of Iraq is
highly questionable and suspect, but whatever facts the "pacifists"
present as the truth concerning the same subject can be relied on with
100% certainty?

A-yup. :-/

Yup, that's a good summary of the way the current Left-Wing liberal
whackos think. It would almost be comical if it wasn't so pathetic.

Everything is Bush's fault. Right...

You don't have to be an American to be a left-wing liberal whacko.

And you hate Tony Blair and George Jr. So, I stand corrected, British
Left Wing wacko then.

Care to explain Saddam's super cannon aimed at Israel and *NERVE*
gassing the Kurds then?

Wait, Saddam didn't have any weapons, did he?

It is when the people making all the noise are doing it *ONLY* for
political reasons, not their own beliefs, and doing nothing but attacking
the conservative side (while offering no realistic solutions to anything).

Perhaps *some* are, but I doubt the term *most*. Besides, you weren't
talking about Gitmo in the earlier posts.
