Casting Call

[Evan3]

I was watching Scare Tactics (its the only way to get to Tremors ok???) and I thought to myself, you know what, this show is amuzing. Why do people hate this. Then I remembered that Shannen Doherty is in it, and she is one of the worst, most plastic hosts I have seen.

Now imagine if Steve Buscemi hosted the show. I bet everyone would love it. Hell, he could pull some pranks without the makeup. Imagine Steve following you down a dark alley way.

I also got to thinking, that I love Trading Spaces. On this show, neighbors switch houses and decorate one room in each other's houses. Sometimes they are good, sometimes bad. However, I think it would be funnier, and more popular, if they

A) Redecorated a celebrity's room
and
B) did it without the celbrity's knowledge that his or her kitchen is now going to be ddrastically changed.

It would be hilarious to see the reactions, and we would find out if Tom Hanks is REALLLY as nice as people say he is. hehehehe.

What are some ideas for TV shows you would like to see?

[Dunners]

yeah shannen is kind of good looking btuI'd rather have steve as the host. Hes a funny energetic devil of a man.

[Brother Ragnarok]

I think they should do a Trading Spaces with eviler-than-Satan Norwegian black metallers Dimmu Borgir redecorating the house of cuter-than-Satan American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson.
I think a house with blood running down the walls and real rotting corpses hanging from the ceiling would look really cool...

Brother R

Hell yes!

Dimmu Borgir rocks!

A good addition would be a blood pool (like in Blade 2) or even better, a blood fountain!

Thanks Brother R. for introducing me to their kickass tunes!

I have two projects fot television:"Cindy Vortex:Girl Genius"and"Willow".

[illcos]

dimmu surounded by his harem of thirteen year old eastern european girls talking about his love of the night life while he puts aluminum foil over all of the windows - that's a SHOW.

[Johnny Blister]

Sounds interesting.They title is a little off though.

[Brother Ragnarok]

Dimmu Borgir is six guys, not one.  Shagrath, Silenoz, Galder, Mustis, Vortex, and Nick Barker.  But that could make the show even more interesting.

Brother R

[Johnny Blister]

Ok.Such weird names.Where you´d get them from,the Tolkien encyclopedia?

[Brother Ragnarok]

No, from the liner notes.  Like I said, Dimmu is a black metal band.  Most black metal bands make up strange names for themselves as pseudonyms.  I can only imagine most of them are demon names they looked up in some book while they were drunk.

Brother R

[Johnny Blister]

Oh,they are a rock band.

As I said,sounds good.

What exactly is black metal-- sorta like death metal, or more akin to The Misfits?

[Brother Ragnarok]

Black metal is a bit more streamlined than death metal.  It's faster and uses a lot of keyboards so it has a very atmospheric, haunting sound.  It started in Norway, so there are lots of Viking themes to it.  The original black metal movement was started as a sort of protest to the forced introduction of Christianity to Norway in 900 - 1000 A.D. so they're all about the Satan.  Pentagrams and blasphemy everywhere.
Another really cool spinoff of this genre is Viking metal.  It also incorporates lots of keyboards, and occasionally accordions (!) in the case of Finntroll, to make really metal drinking songs and battle dirges.

Brother R

[raj]

accordion-metal drinking songs?  It'll take a while to get this brain wrapped around that concept.  Could be cool.  

Thanks.

[Brother Ragnarok]

If you dig the metal, check this genre out.  It rules.  If you find it interesting, some bands you might want to look into are:
Dimmu Borgir
Finntroll
Hollenthon
Cradle of Filth
Naglfar
Thyrfing
Amon Amarth
Emperor
Borknagar
Absu
Cruachan (these guys only have a few songs in the traditional black metal sense - they have a female singer and heavy Celtic influences like mandolins and tinwhistles, and their newest record was produced by Shane MacGowan formerly of the Pogues.  He also sings a couple of songs with them)
