GOLLUM INTERVIEW HELM'S DEEP WITH A TWIST HOUDINIA

HOUDINIA

bloody hell! how did i forget star wars episodes 1 and 2? while i'm here i'll add any film that i'm supposed to be impressed by because people swear alot or there's lots of gore. boring, boring, boring. it's as if it's supposed to shock me. even if i was shocked by this pap it's not the same as being impressed. they're all the same anyway and just help to stop people from enjoying films like reservoir dogs. i never saw it at the cinema because all anyone would tell me was that a guy gets his ear cut off and there's lots of swearing. when i got round to watching it i realised that the excellence of that movie was lost on 90% of the audience - probably because they'd been trained to think that swearing and gore equals good movie. HOUDINIA

the thin red line - one of only 2 films i've walked out of. pretentious nonsense last of the mohicans - the other film i walked out of. pretentious nonsense. 13 ghosts - just about any ghost movie. i was forced to watch this film despite knowing that ghost movies are usually s*** and draw their only strength on the audience's belief in the paranormal rather than decent story, direction, editing, script, acting, lighting, score, etc. the matrix - all 3. boring and an insult to my intelligence braveheart and other wildly innacurate 'historical' epics. basically an ok movie but it crossed the line into s*** when it was claimed to be a true story. fargo got away with the same stunt because it was GOOD. these are just off the top of my head, no doubt i could think of loads more... infact, what about van helsing? HOUDINIA

delusions are not addiction. perpetuating this kind of misconception only discourages people with mental health problems from seeking help. HOUDINIA

good point HOUDINIA

what ppl want ppl get? i'm in lovce with a girl, but i can never be with her. life is not easy. and we rarely get what we want unless we work our asses off for it, and thats when its worth it. crap like derren brown is a curiosity - people don't necessari;y want to talk to someone, but instead to see 'what the f***...?' in which case they aren't getting what they want, except for answers - and there are safer ways to get those answers. like reading a book, or talking to someone with experience. anti depression tablets?? like alcohol, they dull the pain and they are addictive. they will eventually stop working. i was joking and i meant business wise, like ryanair, people want low prices, low prices et voila! and how popular are ryanair now? ohhhhh but very derren browns not crap. *humfh* my apologies - however, some ppl will use those same arguments, and mean them with all seriousness. i just really don't agree with making light of the devil and the dead, when its in terms of ouija boards and that kind of thing. no one knows the results, and if it must be studied then let it be behind closed doors with only the results being released, rather than asking everyone possible to participate - indeed to me it only makes it more suspect to ask for more participants - it would suggest to me that there is additional power being used - possibly without even the viewers consent - to open the way to death. with enough power, perhaps the devil himself may be drawn to earth... and if such happens through the actions of 'entertainers' doing televised seances, i hope i've died before it. "may you be forty years in heaven before the devil knows you're dead" hmmmm i think i know where youre coming from death and life are two different things, like CHALK AND CHEESE! i do believe this kinda stuff is possible, the things of just FEELING that somethings wrong, and reports of ghosts, yea yea, they may be hallucinations of sorts, but somethings gotta put em there. as taught it RE, the soul lives on! i must have sounded really religious. im not.. hahahaha someone shut me up, im trying to go deeper than my dumb head should be aloud. i blame derren. but hes still not crap. derrens so miiiiiiiighty! and sexy deep... very deep HOUDINIA

anti-depressants aren't addictive. you might be thinking of tranquilizers? HOUDINIA hey, even pain can be an addiction for some ppl. get it into your head that you can only be right with anti-depressants, and you're hooked. doesn't matter what the actual inherent properties of them are, your own mind is what hooks you on them. erm... your speaking to a psychiatric nurse HOUDINIA

anti-depressants aren't addictive. you might be thinking of tranquilizers? HOUDINIA

because when you ask the question, "is there a spirit present" and the answer is "no" it would still mean yes... if you see what i mean HOUDINIA

it's a pity you closed your mind without even viewing the evidence. you missed a good show. HOUDINIA

hey hey that's me. they re-vamped it recently so it appears brand new. there are some well established nutters to watch out for though HOUDINIA

at the risk of starting to sound like his agent, GO SEE HIM LIVE. it's never the same on the telly and he does so much more on stage AND you have the advantage of knowing it's not a set-up. if you can't do that you'll have to make do with the tv series for now. it's on again on friday i think. HOUDINIA

derren brown is a stage magician who doesn't believe in the paranormal and has no supernatural powers. he does this kind of thing each week in his tv show. more is explained at these links... DERREN BROWN HOME SITE CHANNEL 4 MICROSITE HOUDINIA

this is along the right track but there's one assumption most people made... to be more accurate, there was one subtle suggestion that derren made and most people, including yourself, accepted that made it so amazing. HOUDINIA
