But time doesn't matter since for Lovecrafts great old ones.... :D<br />Both Re-Animator and From Beyond were not available in Germany for years in their fully uncut versions, so I was very pleased to find both movies uncut and remastered on DVD just a few months ago. der_Wolfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616982860776135414.post-72927247209512557812008-09-23T05:08:00.000+02:002008-09-23T05:08:00.000+02:00I roleplay Call of Cthulhu in the 'nilla world...s...I roleplay Call of Cthulhu in the 'nilla world...so when I joined the spanking community, roleplay came easily...I will have to rent the movie.

It's a factor for sure, but overall, it seems to be more of an attribute of nerds. Geeks are intelligent, too, but it's probably not that essential. Geekdom is more about weird cultural interests, I think, while nerds are the tech wizards. Of course you can be both at the same time.<BR/><BR/>Having said that, I'm not sure that I have fully mastered the geek vs. nerd distinction. Some people use the two terms interchangeably while others postulate significant differences like the above.<BR/><BR/>My own definition would be something like, if you've seen more than one movie based on the work of H.P. Lovecraft, you're very probably a geek! If you still own (and use) a Commodore 64, you're a nerd. And if you spend time seriously wondering about the distinction between geek and nerd, the exact criteria etc., then you are probably both!<BR/><BR/>Smallhanded: A trekker? Wow, that's the next advanced stage, isn't it? That's being a super-geek!<BR/><BR/>For some reason, I never got into the whole Star Trek thing. I've seen quite a few of the really old episodes with Kirk and Spock et al. and I liked them well enough. But the new generations passed me by. Generally, I prefer "dirty" science fiction like the Alien series (I even liked the third film, but the fourth one really sucked!).<BR/><BR/>Pallidbust: Thanks for that info. No, I didn't know that Houellebecq has written about Lovecraft. That sounds like quite a combination. I know "In the Mouth of Madness" and it does indeed star Jürgen "The Captain" Prochnow. Haven't seen it in a long time, but I agree, Carpenter is always worth watching. Well, almost always.<BR/><BR/>The scene from "The Halfway House" sounds interesting, cheers. I haven't seen that one, but I'll check it out and you'll probably hear about it on the blog one day.<BR/><BR/>Indy: Stark Trek and Heinlein, that definitely qualifies as a true geek. Your estimate that we are about a quarter to a third of the spanking population sounds about right to me.<BR/><BR/>And thanks for asking, I feel okay, I was just busy with vanilla duties and had to skip a post.Ludwighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14975294529532823252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616982860776135414.post-81210122294342020462008-09-15T16:12:00.000+02:002008-09-15T16:12:00.000+02:00p.s.

My (admittedly somewhat limited) experience attending spanking parties is that we're about a quarter to a third of the spanking population. That's probably higher than our occurrence in society at large, probably for the reasons you list. <BR/><BR/>My sci-fi interest extends only to Star Trek and an adolescent fascination with Heinlein, but I promise I'm a true geek anyway.Indyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11949593044223905786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616982860776135414.post-37737685644538316782008-09-14T17:45:00.000+02:002008-09-14T17:45:00.000+02:00"That is not dead which can eternal lie, And ..."That is not dead which can eternal lie,<BR/> And with strange aeons even death may die."<BR/><BR/>I remember when I was a boy and first discovered old H.P. It was wonderful. A new, more visceral definition of "we have nothing to fear but fear itself."<BR/><BR/>Perhaps you already know this, but perhaps also your readers don't. In any case, I'm here to help with three foisted sources:<BR/><BR/>This book on the life of Lovecraft by Michel Houellebecq is pretty good. I'm not a nihilist myself, but that's no reason not to enjoy good, well researched work. http://www.amazon.com/H-P-Lovecraft-Against-World/dp/1932416188/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1221406209&sr=8-1 <BR/><BR/>The movie "In the Mouth of Madness" is more of a "Lovecraft Feel" than an enactment, but it stars Sam Neil and Charlton Heston, and is bad ass to my inner teenager. I think that the "Das Boot" sub captain is also in it as a sorta quasi-modern mad Arab. I admit it's been awhile since I've seen it, but anyway, John Carpenter is always fun.<BR/><BR/>Plus, to get back to the kink, "The Halfway House" childishly cites the book written by the Mad Arab. However, the film also enjoys a smoking hot red head that gets paddled by a spanko priest. Some other girls get a little correction as well. Damn, though, that red head is hot. Good times.<BR/><BR/>Loved the article. Keep up the good work.<BR/><BR/>PBPallidBusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17825803986519472450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616982860776135414.post-29368483900501234342008-09-14T00:36:00.000+02:002008-09-14T00:36:00.000+02:00Jeffrey Coombs has also starred in several Star Tr...Jeffrey Coombs has also starred in several Star Trek episodes, in both <I>DS9</I> and <I>Enterprise</I>.<BR/><BR/>(I'm not only a geek, I'm a <I>trekker</I> as well...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616982860776135414.post-49716400700891039322008-09-13T09:42:00.000+02:002008-09-13T09:42:00.000+02:00"Did you ever notice that there is an above averag..."Did you ever notice that there is an above average percentage of geeks among us spanking bloggers and readers?"<BR/><BR/>I don't know about you "toppy" types but amongst the bottoms and subs there does seem to be a tendency to have people who have a higher end IQ, this may explain the geeky association.<BR/><BR/>PrefectdtSPANKEDHORTIChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01555647356077533450noreply@blogger.com
