I like "The Thom Ultimatum" the best.  How funny would that be?

On a related note, we're considering moving the event to April, away from the Mothers Day/Memorial Day shuffle, and see where Easter falls, to see if that's a better time.  Nothin' in stone, yet, just puttin' it out there.

The Thom Ultimatum is definitely the winner.  Very funny.

My votes for The Thom Ultimatum ;)
Title: Re: Talamania III....?

A bit of explanation BTW.
1) I have no authority to actually name the event.  I'm hoping that public opinion sways the vote.  :D
2) These are all the sub-names after the name of the sequel i.e. Back in Training is Police Academy III:  Back in Training.
3) The only one that I have adjusted is The Thom Ultramatum, the rest are the actual titles.

Eight Hellraiser movies?  I've only three in my collection.  Love'em.  Clive Barker is on of the scariest writers I've ever read.  I had nightmares after reading some of his stuff.
Title: Re: Talamania III....?
Post by: Alpha on May 21, 2008, 04:10:52 PM
Yeah - and some of the later movies are very good....though all are different in their own way.

Agreed about Barker - probably my all time favorite Horror author. The Books of Blood are just incredible.....and I like the other short stories as well (Inhuman Condition, Cabal, In the Flesh, etc...)

    I love the idea myself, but I've made enough cracks (pun intended) and don't want to make a reputation for myself. ;D

Uhm....Thom holds the license to this corner of the web and I for one would never comment on his nakedness and the state of Thom it reveals -   :o

Man I'm going to hell for that one.

I'll let Thom know the next title.  Are we purposely spelling it "Ultamatum" instead of ultimatum? 
Title: Re: Talamania III....?
Post by: Veez on June 11, 2008, 01:33:07 PM
Blame it on late night typing.  I'd go with the proper spelling.
Title: Re: Talamania III....?
Post by: luckyone on June 11, 2008, 03:05:43 PM
What about Ultalamantum????
Title: Re: Talamania III....?
Post by: Coil on June 11, 2008, 11:01:59 PM
I think the correct spelling is the way to go too. ;)

I've recently found out that there are now direct flights from Stockholm to Philadelphia. That increases the odds of me being able to attend next year.

Thats good news.  Be good to see you again and perhaps I will have more time to be there than I've had the last two times.

  By the way, Gun Moll says "thank you!!!" for the chocolate.
