(insert obligatory Iron Maiden reference here)

Holy crap! I got the boobies. (Yes, I did just type boobies, I'm aware of the filter.) I'll post the lyrics now:

Hand of fate is moving and the finger
points to you
He knocks you to your feet and so what
are you gonna do
Your tongue has frozen now you've got
something to say
The piper at the gates of dawn is calling
you his way

You watch the world exploding every
single night
Dancing in the sun a new born in the light
Say goodbye to gravity and say goodbye
to death
Hello to eternity and live for every breath

Your time will come
Your time will come

The ferryman wants his money you ain't
going to give it back
He can push his own boat as you set up
off the track
Nothing you can contemplate will ever be
the same
Every second is a new spark, sets the
universe aflame

You watch the world exploding every night
Dancing in the sun a new born in the light
Brothers and their fathers joining hands
and make a chain
The shadow of the Wicker man is rising
up again

Your time will come
Your time will come

Pulp - Wickerman (from We Love Life)

Oh, this is as far as we got last time
But if we go just another mile we will surface surrounded by grass & trees & the fly-over that takes the cars to cities.
Buds that explode at the slightest touch, nettles that sting - but not too much.
I've never been past this point, what lies ahead I really could not say.
I used to live just by the river, in a dis-used factory just off the Wicker
The river flowed by day after day
One day I thought, One day I will follow it but that day never came
I moved away & lost track but tonight I am thinking about making my way back.
I may find you there & float on wherever the river may take me.
Wherever the river may take me.
Wherever the river may take us.
Wherever it wants us to go.
Wherever it wants us to go.

Um, yeah seeing as how the movie, "Wicker Man" had a very pretty and very naked Britt Ekland (NSFW), I will now excuse myself and go lure a cop to his death in her honor.


Britt Ekland = one of the hottest actresses back then, or ever.

Fark has strawman.

Everything in that movie was predictable, but was utterly riveting anyway. I'm not even sure why I like it so much. It's like its perceptions are just that much off at an angle that I always keep on straight to that incredible ending.

Then there's the great Christopher Lee lines. "Of course they're naked! It's much too dangerous to jump through fire with your clothes on."
 
2004-06-20 02:45:52 PM
I loved that movie. And Britt Ekland is one of the few women I would consider having sex with.
 
2004-06-20 02:46:59 PM
However, I would like to point out that Britt used a stunt-ass in that movie. She wasn't aware of any nudity when she was filming.

RE: Brit Ekland

I'd hit it.

That movie made no sense. At least not when you fast forward through it to see Britt Eckland naked. Three stars.

Dammit, I thought I was going to be all clever with my Iron Maiden reference. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaan, you people are no fun whatsoever. :P
*Considers referencing Queensryche's "Burning Man" instead.*
 
2004-06-20 03:00:22 PM
I heard Poserman was really great.
 
2004-06-20 03:05:00 PM
Iron Maiden can go down the pooper, Chrisopher Lee is the man! And The Wickerman is one of the best movies... EVER!
 
2004-06-20 03:07:31 PM
HomestarRunner.com has the Thnikkaman!

/*Here comes the Thnikkaman!*

But Jamie Gilroy, the local farmer backing the festival, said a new formula for calculating policing fees has given him a financial headache.

By "policing fees" I assume he's referring to the cost of finding a virgin officer prepared to get burnt alive.

P.S. I posted this under another headline :(

Here comes the wicker man!...... ^_^

dont forget, japan has the laughing man.

Scotland has stupid tree hugging hippies who think that all the world's problems can be solved by sitting around a campfire and smoking dope while listening to some non-shower taking fool strum on a guitar as they sing Kumbaya there as well?
 
2004-06-20 03:25:36 PM
Oh, and up the irons!
 
2004-06-20 03:27:35 PM
And San Francisco has Leather Man?

ADMINS, can eye have my html back? Drew?

The Monolith - That movie made no sense. At least not when you fast forward through it to see Britt Eckland naked. Three stars.

So i probably shouldn't point out that it's a body double then?

Holy crap! I got the boobies.

The question is...can we touch them?

If I remember, there was a part where we had camera shots of her face and breast in one frame (does that sound right ?). She does have a lovely pair of coconuts, and her body double had a nice arse as well.

 
2004-06-20 03:45:41 PM
I'd bond to her like super glue

/slightly disappointed that my first reference has been so unremarkable
//Brit Christopher Lee was in another movie with the fair Britt...
///over it now
 
2004-06-20 04:05:09 PM
The Wickerman was a great movie. Suspensful, dramatic and maked great use of Edward Woodward (a very underrrated actor). And yes, Britt is awesome in the movie. I can't understand how she ever had a thing for that grotesque abomination Rod Stewart. She should have been interested in me.

Yeah, I know, pathetic wishful thinking - but let me have an effing dream...

Maybe I shouldn't have another drink...

Wickerman is in my top 5 favorite movies.

Just mentioning.

Does this festival have a barbecue following the burning, where attendees pick through the charred wicker to find blackened chicken, goat and cow parts?
 
2004-06-20 05:12:26 PM
Anybody know the name of the movie that had a plotline similar to the Wicker Man, but was set in some American city...

I remember that...

instead of wiccan they were satanists or something.
instead of a cop the guy was some business exec.
no wicker man, they just used the girl to lure him to the beach and cut out the guy's heart with a knife.
the satanists actually had supernatural powers.

I also remember there was this scene in the guy's office where this old woman, who was part of the cult, pulled out her hair, messed up the desk, and essentially beat herself up (ala Fight Club) to make other people in the office think that the guy did it.

This has been bugging me for years.

TheClitoris, that would be 1988's "Spellbinder".
 
2004-06-20 05:54:41 PM
Count me in as a huge Wicker Man fan. One of my favorite movies ever. Christopher Lee is a king of cool.

 
2004-06-20 06:30:25 PM
VERY cool movie... as someone said upthread, predictable as hell, but in a way that just adds to the dread. Awesome.
 
2004-06-20 06:52:21 PM
"The shadow of the Wicker Man is rising up again!"


/Maiden rules.

//what...no hot naked chicks to sacrifice?

Anyone that wants to see the bar in the Green Man has about a month left to do it.

I was there earlier in the year and they're modifying the bar. The backroom has already been turned into a games room and they're taking down some of the internal walls soon.

SilentStrider --

WTF does an inron maiden, a mediaeval insrtument of torture have to do with the film? That film was a good 4/5 stars at least. I enjoyed the hell out of it. Can't say the same for any iron maiden I've ever seen. Those suckers always gave me the creeps.

/only metal music I ever liked was "Spinal Tap."

Your feigned naivete about Iron Maiden is cute, and the mispellings only add to your aura.
 
2004-06-20 09:37:51 PM
I want a Laughing Man.
 
2004-06-20 09:40:16 PM
That's one festival I think I will stay away from.

I saw a documentary movie about it. I know things.
 
2004-06-20 09:43:04 PM
Loved the movie. I was rooting for the hedonistic pagans.

Carry on.

I believe Britt Eckland was a few months pregnant hence the body double during the infamous butt-dance.
 
2004-06-21 05:32:00 PM
This won't be the first time that a Clitoris has thanked me vehemently.
