I so wanted to post a screencap of that scene from Parks and Recreation where Leslie wants to preserve the video rental store as a place of historical and artistic importance and that dude says, "You know that you can just download every movie off the internet, right?"
But trying to use search terms to come up with that was impossible.

The worst one is Curse of the Zodiac. That movie was just flat out bad. I will have to watch the 2005 movie again, haven’t seen it in a long time.
On amazon there are a few zodiac films, I started "san franpsycho" but stopped after a few minutes, I think I may have started one of the others…
Any way, it has been a while since I have watched zodiac films on amazon, maybe a review is in order.
Wasn’t San Franpsycho about a Zodiac copycat? I can’t even remember if I watched the movie or not.
ps, love the Misfits avatar!!
Hmm… I am not sure as I only watched the first few minutes of "san franpsycho", I liked the name, it’s actually a term you will hear people use to refer to the city, that and "there’s nothing but love on the haight" are pretty common sayings out there, so I figured the movie would be ok. But I remember being unimpressed with the film and stopping it.
I love the misfits, specially everything before Glen left the band. I mean, Mike graves made some pretty good music with Jerry and Doyle (and chud on drums) calling the band the "misfits", but in my mind the "real" misfits have Glen as their front man.
However, the avatar was actually chosen because of "the crimson ghost"
The crimson ghost was a 1946 film series that was re-released on television in the 1950s. The villain, the crimson ghost, is determined to steal a counter atomic device known as Cyclotrode X, which can short out the worlds electrical devices.
I love the crimson ghost films, even before I discovered the music of the misfits.
So while the avatar was a tribute to the crimson ghost, my all time favorite villain, it also serves as a "misfits" avatar.
Below is a picture from the films:
I smoked weed with Graves and Chud after I saw them in concert in Milwaukee, WI in 2000. Jerry hung out with me and my friends for a couple after the show. Very cool guy. Doyle was a dick… Glen-era Misfits are amazing, but I did like the American Psycho album with Graves. A lot of their song titles, and even the name the Misfits, were taken from old movies.
A few minutes ago on a toilet not very far, far away….

Yeah, I believe the misfits were one of the founders of "horror-core". Almost all of the misfits songs, old and new, are based off of old horror films.
Last time I saw the misfits it was jerry on bass, Doyle on guitar, and Marky Ramone on drums. Though I have seen them with Mike graves a few times, and it was a killer show.
I agree, "American psycho" was great, so was "famous monsters", I loved those albums, it’s just not the "real" misfits to me, still, good music.
Its been a while since I have been into that style of music, I am more into jam, reggae, and psychedelic music these days, but I still enjoy favorites from my youth such as the misfits.
On the "American psycho" album the misfits released a song about my favorite villain, "the crimson ghost"
I know your every move behind this face
I have control over expendable slaves
When confrontation comes down to the wire
I’ll use my cyclotrode and commence the fireYou’re never gonna get me.
Being followed, I get quick to the chase
I take my cyclotrode right out of the case
Atomic force electrocutes your motor
Leaving dead in flames
I always escape
You’re never gonna get me
I’m the crimson ghost
-misfits
I love it, it is even true to the 1945 crimson ghost plot.
Its funny how I have always liked the villains better than the heros.
The hero is generally fighting to preserve the world as it is, while the villains generally have dreams for a new or improved world.
Look at Pamela Lillian Isley (poison ivy) from batman, she sees how humans are harming nature, and had a plan to allow nature to retake the planet. Not a bad vision in my mind.
Or look at doctor Jonathan crane (scarecrow), doctor crane had an aerosol psychedelic that he had placed in Gotham water supply, and had obtained a device that would instantly convert the water to steam, allowing his psychedelic to enter the systems of everybody in Gotham. He reminds me of an evil version of tim leary or Nick sand.
…then you have batman, whose only power is being rich enough to afford a bunch of high tech gadgets. Batman wants to preserve the status quo, he wants to maintain "business as usual", he is fighting to protect the system as it stands.
Any way, the crimson ghost is my all time favorite villain, from the original 1946 series to the 1966s edited down "Cyclotrode "X" television series…

Do you have facebook or another way of talking music? I don’t want to hijack this thread… Or we could start a music thread in the "hang out" section…
I also love a good super villain, but only the old-school ones…

I do not have a Facebook or Twitter as I am not a big social media fan, but I fully understand your point, and apologize to the thread for straying so far off topic.
I think a music discussion thread in the hangout would be appropriate.
