[19:07] <Lewman> It'll probably be to me wasp
[19:07] <chayiL> hi
[19:07] <wasp> oh ok
[19:07] <wasp> coolness
[19:07] <wasp> so are you part of the TBHL staff?
[19:08] <Lewman> yup, I'm the man behind all the crap you see on there ;)
[19:08] <wasp> alright, nice to meet you man
[19:08] <Lewman> hehe ;)
[19:08] <Susie> lol lew
[19:09] <Lewman> anyone from the UK?
[19:09] <wasp> I am American
[19:10] <wasp> and a sorry one at that
[19:10] <Lewman> Ahhh... ;) Just wondering whether anyone is watching the documentary on Blade Runner
[19:10] <wasp> great flick
[19:11] <wasp> hey I was wondering about the TV version of The Frighteners
[19:11] <Lewman> What you wondering?
[19:12] <wasp> did they originally film that shot when Dammers gets shot and falls back through the church door?
[19:12] Ainarauko [Deltalife@207.195.43.120] has joined #tbhl
[19:12] <wasp> instead of the shot where his head gets blown off
[19:12] catfish [jkangas@209-239-213-183.lax.jps.net] has joined #tbhl
[19:12] <Lewman> In the original version you see Dammers have his head blown off
[19:12] <wasp> right
[19:12] <Lewman> But it's cut for tv and the Uk versions
[19:12] <wasp> I didn't know if the TV just added that one part
[19:13] <wasp> or it was an outtake or something
[19:13] <Lewman> Hmm....
[19:13] <Lewman> Intresting, i cant remember. I think It's an alternative take, or it follows the head blowing shot
[19:13] <wasp> oh ok
[19:13] <Lewman> hey cat ;p
[19:13] <wasp> see I couldn't remember if it followed the shot
[19:14] <catfish> hiya Lewman! (I just signed your petition, BTW)
[19:14] <Lewman> I'd check, but taping that Blade Runner doc ;)
[19:14] <Lewman> Cool thanks ;)
[19:14] Mormegil [Mormegil@194.kansas-city-03-04rs.mo.dial-access.att.net] has joined #tbhl
[19:14] <wasp> oh and thanks a lot for having that Heavenly Creatures screenplay on your site
[19:14] <wasp> that is one of the better reading screenplays I've read
[19:14] <Lewman> no probs ;) Did you get to see the King Kong script b4 we had to take it down?
[19:15] <wasp> yes I did
[19:15] <wasp> I just skimmed over it though
[19:15] <catfish> I laughed my @$$ off over the KK script :)
[19:15] <Lewman> It's a very good screenplay ;)) I wish the bastards would let us put it back up! :)
[19:15] Feanor [~jirc@209.179.14.183] has joined #tbhl
[19:15] <Ainarauko> hey Feanor
[19:16] <Feanor> Hey all!
[19:16] Duilin1 [~jirc@delta.tavultesoft.com] has joined #tbhl
[19:16] <wasp> yes the KK screenplay seeemed very...James Cameronish if you know what I mean
[19:16] <wasp> I preferred the Heavenly Creatures screenplya myself
[19:16] <Lewman> It's very different, BUT PJ does apparently want to do it after LOTR
[19:16] <wasp> screenplay that is
[19:17] <Lewman> HC is my fave film tho' :)
[19:17] Avatar [joebarron_@host5-99-56-166.btinternet.com] has joined #tbhl
[19:17] <catfish> I hope he does (well, he should do BT 2 first ;), but I really hope he would go for an R rating.
[19:17] Duilin1 [~jirc@delta.tavultesoft.com] has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
[19:17] Feanor [~jirc@209.179.14.183] has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
[19:17] <wasp> well since Cameron isn't doing T3...that's the kind of movie PJ would be good at
[19:18] <Lewman> Yup... another splatterfest should be on the cards :)
[19:18] <Avatar> i'd love to see PJ's King Kong
[19:18] <Lewman> Read the script m8?
[19:18] <Avatar> yes i have!
[19:18] <Avatar> very good script!
[19:18] <Lewman> kick ass =]
[19:19] <Avatar> he shoulda done it before LOTR
[19:19] <wasp> well he wanted to
[19:19] <Lewman> Well he was, but the oppurtunity came along for LOTR
[19:19] <Avatar> especially coz of that cameo role for Fay Wray
[19:19] <Lewman> And Universal were pushing him around
[19:20] <wasp> i hope you don't mind me suggesting more credit lists for PJ's movies
[19:20] <Avatar> i hope PJ does a Bad Taste 2...
[19:20] <Lewman> hehe not at all ;)
[19:20] <wasp> IMDB is rather incomplete when it comes to credits
[19:20] <wasp> at least for PJ's films
[19:20] <Lewman> He will :) m8, all the rest of the cast are really up for it, was talking to them about it yesterday
[19:20] <wasp> especially when it comes to the FX crew
[19:20] <catfish> I hope for BT 2 as well - Bad Taste is my absolute favorite movie.
[19:20] <Avatar> cool! get the AIDS boys back in action!
[19:21] <Lewman> hehe BT used to scare me as a kid
[19:21] <catfish> Lewman - cool! That was going to be my question - if PJ talked to the "Boys" about it!
[19:21] <Lewman> Ask them when they come :)
[19:21] <Avatar> maybe a trip to Nelig Nod would be good for a sequel?
[19:21] <wasp> that would be wicked
[19:21] Orodruin [Orodruin@AS53-01-186.cas-gue.golden.net] has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
[19:21] <Lewman> Yup that was the idea i think, but there was gonna be a bigger aresnal
[19:21] <catfish> I'd like to see Derek take out Nalic Nod and then return :)
[19:22] <Avatar> and they meet Derek running round with the chainsaw!
[19:22] <catfish> Heehee! I love that chainsaw :)
[19:22] <Lewman> hehe I'm Born Again!
[19:22] <wasp> just imagine it with WETA being what it si now
[19:22] Avatar is putting on Bad Taste right now :)
[19:22] <wasp> is
[19:22] <wasp> they could do all kinds of creature effects
[19:22] Orodruin [Orodruin@AS53-01-166.cas-kit.golden.net] has joined #tbhl
[19:23] <catfish> and splatter effects!
[19:23] <Lewman> I know... but i dont think CGI gore would be the same
[19:23] <Lewman> I like it straight from the butcher shop
[19:23] <Avatar> CGI gore wouldn't work for PJ
[19:23] <Lewman> It's be like Starship Troopers
[19:23] <wasp> well there's always WETA Workshop
[19:23] <catfish> yeah - you got a point. Nothing can match sheep brains for brains!
[19:23] <Avatar> best done like BT and BD
[19:23] <wasp> PJ still uses his physical FX alot
[19:24] <Lewman> Hmm... but then again was there gore in Frighteners?
[19:24] <Mormegil> back when we were kids, we didn't have this CGI gore nonsense, we had the ol' blood -n- guts rutien...
[19:24] <Lewman> oh yeah the headshot
[19:24] <Avatar> PJ really is an fx master when it comes to gore
[19:24] <wasp> Frighteners was rather low on the physical stuff
[19:24] <catfish> yeah - I'm going to miss the gore in LOTR (because of the PG-13)
[19:24] <Lewman> Still a dman good film
[19:24] <wasp> but it sounds like with LotR and orcs
[19:24] <Avatar> not much gore in Frighteners
[19:24] <Avatar> but still good
[19:24] <wasp> there will be black gore
[19:24] <jincey> ahh but there will be a bit ; )
[19:24] jincey smiles
[19:25] <Lewman> Hey, LOTR will be released unrated in the cinemas
[19:25] <catfish> but black gore just isn't the same as nice red squirts ;)
[19:25] <wasp> yeah they are skirting around the PG13 somewhat with orc's having blacktar-blood
[19:25] <Lewman> It'll include many sex scenes, and spatterfests
[19:25] <Avatar> lol
[19:25] <wasp> I dunno I think it will be kind of kewl to see black spray
[19:25] <catfish> Sex scenes? That's going to upset a lot of Tolkien fans - I can't wait :)
[19:26] <Lewman> hehe of course =]
[19:26] <wasp> but I guess I'm not a real gore-hound like you guys ;-)
[19:26] <jincey> nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[19:26] <Lewman> But it';; have my money
[19:26] <jincey> nooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[19:26] <jincey> lol
[19:26] <wasp> there better not be sex scenes
[19:26] <wasp> that would be going too far off the beaten path
[19:26] <catfish> hey - imagine a sex scene between an orc and a hobbit ;)
[19:26] <jincey> like orcs from pods wasp?
[19:27] <wasp> and Tolkien would definitely be rolling in his grave
[19:27] <Lewman> Eeeeeewww..
[19:27] <wasp> orcs from pods actually sounds kewl to me
[19:27] <Lewman> It would rip it apart
[19:27] <Lewman> ;)))
[19:27] <wasp> I don't mind changes
[19:27] <jincey> but it is far from the path ; )
[19:27] <Avatar> i've just seen the head blowing bit in Bad Taste!
[19:27] <Lewman> sorry stop me if i go too far ;)
[19:27] <wasp> just certain changes could ruin the movie
[19:27] <Lewman> yup the guy who blows the head off is gonna be here
[19:27] <wasp> yeah but that is just really a detail
[19:27] <wasp> not a plot element
[19:27] <Avatar> hope i'm not the poor b****** who cleans that up!
[19:28] <catfish> I'm not a Tolkien fan - I'm only going to see it because it's PJs.
[19:28] <Crumb> what is that dripping from the side of PJ's mouth tho'?
[19:28] <Avatar> i don't know!!!
[19:29] <catfish> drool!
[19:29] <wasp> as long as there are lots of cool details I don't care if they aren't pure tolkien
[19:29] <Avatar> what is it?
[19:29] <Lewman> hehe, but it looks so... you know
[19:29] <Avatar> ah yeah when he drools over chainsaw!
[19:29] <wasp> I just don't want Arwen running around hellbound in leather
[19:29] <Lewman> oh yeah... :)))
[19:29] <Avatar> sick but funny
[19:29] <wasp> and it doesn't sound like they are going that far
[19:29] <Lewman> For those who dont know what were talking about, look at this
[19:29] <Lewman> http://tbhl.theonering.net/movies/badtaste3.mpg
[19:29] <Avatar> "this is a job for real men!"
[19:30] <Avatar> lol...this film is hilarious!
[19:30] <Crumb> So has PJ and company got 6 weeks off now?
[19:30] <wasp> PJ has a very good sense of pacing for a a smaller-film director like himself...good use of steadicam too
[19:30] <Avatar> yeah...love that crane shot over blonde alien
[19:30] <catfish> Hey! 6 weeks - he should be filming BT2 ;)
[19:30] <Lewman> Pete O'Herne did a lot of the camera work too, stuff like on the cliff i believe
[19:30] <Avatar> yeah catfish
[19:30] <Avatar> didn't PJ almost kill himself on the cliff?
[19:31] <Lewman> hehe it was VERY dangerous on that cliff, i mean he had to be 2 people!
[19:31] <wasp> yeah but when you think about lots of people a"almost" kill themselves on cliffs
[19:31] <catfish> yeah and one of him was pushed off the cliff ;)
[19:31] <Avatar> yeah, he looks v. worried at times
[19:31] <wasp> I almost kill myself just driving to work
[19:31] <Lewman> I do feel it when he splats onto the rock
[19:32] <Lewman> hehe and his head keeps on opening
[19:32] <Lewman> :))
[19:32] <catfish> Yeah - I love that splatter!
[19:32] <Avatar> love PJ's scream: MUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYY!!!
[19:32] Lewman chuckl;es
[19:32] <catfish> Geez - I'm lauging myself sick here just thinking of this great stuff :) :)
[19:32] <Lewman> He should have never given up his acting career
[19:32] <Avatar> anyone else watching Bad taste right now?
[19:33] <wasp> well he is a cameoholic
[19:33] <Lewman> He could have been the next Joe Pesci
[19:33] <catfish> cripes - I'm putting it now - I can't take it anymore :)
[19:33] <Orodruin> i'm trying to finish downloading it
[19:33] <jincey> i am d/l that now
[19:33] <Avatar> cool!
[19:33] <Lewman> oh no Jince, you'll be shocked
[19:33] <Lewman> You'll be sick :)
[19:33] <jincey> should i not watch/
[19:33] <wasp> lol
[19:33] <jincey> ?
[19:33] <Avatar> "the skys pointed at this place"
[19:33] <Lewman> I felt sick first time i saw that
[19:34] <Lewman> but nah, get it anyways
[19:34] <Orodruin> nothing sickens me
[19:34] <Avatar> i just couldn't stop laughing :)
[19:34] <Lewman> Has pete o'herne in action
[19:34] <wasp> how much of it can you actually download?
[19:34] <Lewman> Just a 30sec clip of the headshot on the beach
[19:34] <Orodruin> mmm... flesh
[19:34] <Avatar> it's such cartoony violence!
[19:34] <catfish> It's such funny violence!
[19:34] <Lewman> come on, i love it how the brain blows into the air, SPLAT!
[19:34] Mormegil is now known as Mormaway
[19:34] <wasp> well guys I really wanted to hang around for this chat but I gotta go
[19:35] <wasp> later folks
[19:35] <jincey> ahhh sounds absolutely yummy : )
[19:35] <Avatar> yeah, it's like the EvilDead, mixture of humour and gore
[19:35] <Lewman> Awwww.... later
[19:35] <Avatar> bye wasp!!
[19:35] <catfish> bye wasp - too bad
[19:35] <jincey> bye wasp : )
[19:35] wasp [~jirc@216.28.81.44] has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
[19:35] <Lewman> I think they maybe delayed a little bit peeps, forgot they are a little ahead of us in time
[19:35] <catfish> "I think you better kill him Barry"
[19:35] <Lewman> No bloody way mate
[19:35] Ainarauko [Deltalife@207.195.43.120] has left #tbhl
[19:35] <Avatar> the blue shirted freaks are chasing Pete O Herne!
[19:36] <Orodruin> maybe they just don't want to come.
[19:36] <Crumb> Nah they are coming :)
[19:36] <catfish> "I always thought you were lefthanded" (I love that;)
[19:36] <Lewman> hehe
[19:36] <Avatar> it's great when Pete gets his coat stuck on the hanger
[19:36] <catfish> SPAT!
[19:36] <catfish> whoops - SPLAT!
[19:37] <Lewman> :P and the noise :)
[19:37] <Lewman> Love it! :)
[19:37] <Avatar> didn't PJ making noises by squeezing yoghurt?
[19:37] <Lewman> yup... between the palms of their hands
[19:37] <catfish> Whatever it was, it's absolutely brilliant!
[19:37] <Avatar> lol
[19:37] <Lewman> Seen the documentary too?
[19:38] <Avatar> no i haven't...i like to!
[19:38] <Avatar> is it on DVD?
[19:38] <catfish> I saw one, but I don't remember much discussion on the sounds.
[19:38] <Lewman> No :(
[19:38] <jincey> 78% : /
[19:38] <Avatar> PJ should produce his own DVD's
[19:38] <catfish> It's on a very very bad tape.
[19:38] <Lewman> He will i guess.
[19:38] <Lewman> But it wont be till 2004 till we see them
[19:38] <catfish> I hope he does a special edition of Bad Taste.
[19:39] <Avatar> "oh christ he's nabbed a bloody farmer" LOL
[19:39] <catfish> "like a visit from a planet full of charlie mansons"
[19:39] <Avatar> and Heavenly Creatures DVD- love to see that
[19:39] <Lewman> Most especially
[19:39] <Avatar> with documentary
[19:39] <catfish> HC is available but it's pan&scan
[19:39] <Lewman> There would be so many deleted scenes on that
[19:39] <Avatar> what happened to Frighteners 4 hour documentary?
[19:40] <catfish> Yeah - the US HC cut out some of the best stuff.
[19:40] <Lewman> It's on the Laser Disk m8
[19:40] <Lewman> Was HC ever officialy released on video in NZ?
[19:40] <Avatar> brb...gotta go for a sec!
[19:40] <Lewman> Cause, apparently the longest version comes from there, but i have never seen it
[19:41] Avatar [joebarron_@host5-99-56-166.btinternet.com] has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
[19:41] <catfish> I've seen a very grainy tape - don't know where it came from.
[19:41] <Lewman> Of it uncut?
[19:41] <catfish> Yes - it's got that bowl of blood scene ;)
[19:41] <Orodruin> wow.
[19:41] <Lewman> hehe :)
[19:41] Orodruin glances at his watch.
[19:42] <catfish> I think we've got a bit of a wait - EST vs EDT.
[19:42] <Lewman> Yeah i know, i think i got that one hour difference confused
[19:42] <Lewman> So where is everyone from tonight?
[19:43] <Orodruin> i'm canadian, eh?
[19:43] <catfish> California
[19:43] <Lewman> :P
[19:43] Avatar [joebarron_@host62-7-82-65.btinternet.com] has joined #tbhl
[19:43] <Lewman> So most peeps from the US?

[19:44] <Avatar> yes Lewman- i'm in London
[19:44] <Avatar> "Dereks don't run" hehe
[19:44] Arathorn [isildur@modem-38.indium.dialup.pol.co.uk] has joined #tbhl
[19:44] <Lewman> Kick ass :) Out of curiosity did you first see Bad Taste on BBC2? about 5 years back
[19:45] <Avatar> no Lewman, i first saw it on FilmFour's Peter Jackson nite a year ago
[19:45] <Lewman> ahh cool, do you watched the feebles too?
[19:45] <catfish> "my friend the astro-b%
[19:45] <Avatar> they showed all of his films apart from The Frighteners
[19:45] <catfish> "time for talkies"
[19:45] <Lewman> Intergalactic wanker
[19:45] <Avatar> yeah, i got all of them on 1 video!
[19:45] <Lewman> EVen forgotten silver?
[19:46] <catfish> I wore out my BT VHS tape ;)
[19:46] <Avatar> yep! how good was that!
[19:46] <Lewman> hehe :)
[19:46] <Lewman> I love it, so convincing
[19:46] <Avatar> i know
[19:46] <Avatar> my parents think it's real!
[19:46] <catfish> Yeah - I'm now conducting experiments on whether DVDs really do last forever - with BT of course ;)
[19:46] <Lewman> My father watched it and thought it was real
[19:46] <Lewman> hehe, you got it on DVD then cat?
[19:47] <jincey> ok lewman
[19:47] <catfish> yep :)
[19:47] <jincey> i watched it
[19:47] <Avatar> i keep telling my folks that it's real
[19:47] <Lewman> are you appalled?
[19:47] <jincey> hmmmm appalled?
[19:47] <Lewman> repulsed by it? :)
[19:47] <jincey> twas gross yes
[19:47] <catfish> I told my parents the truth halfway thru FS - but they had bought it hook line &sinker.
[19:47] <Orodruin> i liked it.
[19:47] <jincey> is the whole movie like that?
[19:48] Susie [surfer30@host-216-226-230-53.interpacket.net] has left #tbhl
[19:48] <Lewman> Gives you a tatse of what LOTR will be like
[19:48] <Avatar> yes jincey!
[19:48] <Lewman> awww... cat :(
[19:48] <jincey> was that pete or craig with the pistol?
[19:48] <Lewman> pete
[19:48] <Avatar> he's made worse than that though
[19:48] <Avatar> the last 30 mins of Braindead spring to mind :)
[19:48] <catfish> I know, I felt bad about it, but I knew my mom would have been upset if I told her afterwards
[19:49] <Lewman> I dunno i think Bad Taste is gorier than Brain Dead
[19:49] <Lewman> hang on, what did i just say?
[19:49] <Avatar> what? really?
[19:49] <Avatar> u ok Lewman?
[19:49] <catfish> BT is funnier, but BD is gorier.
[19:49] <Lewman> Yeah I do actually
[19:50] <Avatar> but...the orgy of violence in Braindead!
[19:50] <catfish> the lawnmower!
[19:50] <Lewman> I think Braindead is a lot slower
[19:50] <Avatar> "party's over"
[19:50] <Avatar> yeah Braindead does lack pace
[19:50] <catfish> I agree - BD is slower. I never get bored by BT.
[19:50] <Lewman> Bad Taste is the more watchable
[19:51] <Avatar> coz PJ inserted a romance in Braindead
[19:51] <Lewman> BUT Braindead is the best to watch with a group of mates
[19:51] <Avatar> as well as heaps of gore
[19:51] <catfish> I love the baby in the park scene, though.
[19:51] <Avatar> yeah...my mates thought BT was rubbish, but really liked Braindead
[19:51] <Lewman> That was an afterthought wasnt it?
[19:52] <Lewman> had some money left in the budget, so they filmed that
[19:52] <Avatar> yeah...made coz PJ had money left over?
[19:52] <Lewman> and it ended up being one of the best scenes :)
[19:52] <jincey> tellme about meet the feebles
[19:52] <Lewman> you do not want to know about it jince :)
[19:52] <Avatar> jincey: horrific
[19:52] <catfish> oohh - Derek's got a bloody Uzi ;)
[19:52] <jincey> i have heard it descibed as the muppets go porno
[19:52] <Lewman> It is very very contreversial
[19:52] <catfish> MTF is great! Disgusting maybe, but funny.
[19:53] <Avatar> very very sick

[20:14] <Lewman> Okay then it should be us operators who can talk[20:14] <craig-s> ok
[20:14] <Lewman> :) cool, i'm not that useless then :)
[20:14] <Pete_Oherne> hey craig has top billing
[20:14] <Pete_Oherne> lol
[20:14] <Lewman> hehe
[20:14] <craig-s> perish the thought!
[20:15] <Lewman> right then, lets start the Q's then
[20:15] <Lewman> Catfish asks - I'd like to ask both guys if they've been talking to PJ about Bad Taste 2 and do they want to do it?
[20:16] <Pete_Oherne> sure there was talk of that once when first one came out
[20:16] <craig-s> last time i spoke to pj (1998) he was still keen - but we're talking at least 3-4 years and we're not getting any younger.....
[20:16] <Lewman> So if PJ is still keen, you 2 would love to do a sequal?
[20:16] <Pete_Oherne> yes
[20:17] <craig-s> yep!
[20:17] <Pete_Oherne> the old bastards have landed
[20:17] <Lewman> Okay then ;) Avatar asks Craig, what was it like in that vat of fruit?
[20:18] <craig-s> warm and cosy (i was being topped off with hot water at regular intervals)
[20:18] Mormaway is now known as Mormegil
[20:18] <Lewman> Who was topping it up?
[20:18] <craig-s> mrs jackson
[20:18] <Lewman> PJ's mother?
[20:18] <craig-s> yep - a lovely lady
[20:19] <Lewman> How long were the scenes in the barrel?
[20:19] <Lewman> Were they hours at a time?
[20:19] <craig-s> 2 days, about 3-4 hours a day i think - is that right pete?
[20:20] <Pete_Oherne> yea it was and in the back of pj's garage

[20:20] <craig-s> funnily enough i think it was sundays in july - i remeber it was warm and sunny
[20:20] <Pete_Oherne> it was
[20:21] <craig-s> in 1984 - a while ago
[20:21] <Lewman> Ok this is a question that was bugging me too. Ctafish wants to know, who was the Chef that comes out of the house? Was it a relative of PJ, cause it looks like him!
[20:21] <Lewman> catfsih even ;)
[20:21] <Lewman> catfish EVEN!
[20:21] <Lewman> hehe cant spell
[20:22] Messiah_1001 [~pirch@modem-123.azaghal.dialup.pol.co.uk] has joined #tbhl
[20:22] <craig-s> a friend of pj - he was a leading light in the local gunclub and had a veritable arsenal in his house
[20:22] <Pete_Oherne> no it was a guy who used to work with pete.....Boris
[20:22] <Pete_Oherne> the gun guy
[20:22] <craig-s> i thought it was robin...
[20:23] <Pete_Oherne> robin was his real name
[20:23] <craig-s> i rember he made porn videos on the side
[20:23] <Lewman> hehe really? Starring him?
[20:23] <Pete_Oherne> but everyone called him boris
[20:23] <craig-s> nah - he hired models to get it on
[20:23] Lewman chuckles
[20:23] <Pete_Oherne> yes true
[20:23] <Pete_Oherne> lol
[20:23] Devin_sleeping is now known as Devin
[20:24] <Lewman> Did PJ ever try to steer Bad Taste into a porn movie?
[20:24] <Pete_Oherne> i would've had a smaller part in the film
[20:24] <craig-s> despite our urgings - no (and we were young , inocent, and didn't know any girls who'd do it
[20:25] <Lewman> Is that a reason why there are no women in the film?
[20:25] <craig-s> yes
[20:25] <Pete_Oherne> yep
[20:25] <Lewman> This is from Avatar : How did you all get your hands on all the weapons, eg: rocket launchers, machine guns, chainsaws
[20:25] Charliems [Charliems@charlie.nac.net] has joined #tbhl
[20:26] <Pete_Oherne> a lot of them were home made
[20:26] <craig-s> they were mostly props that pj made, except for the chainsaw (which was knackered anyway)
[20:26] <jincey> hi charliems : )
[20:26] <Lewman> Who owned the saw?
[20:26] <craig-s> can't recall...
[20:26] <Lewman> Was it a homage to evil dead?
[20:26] <craig-s> oh yes!
[20:26] <Pete_Oherne> & tcm
[20:27] <craig-s> and pete liked playing with it
[20:27] <Pete_Oherne> ooooh yea
[20:27] <Lewman> hehe, how did he like playing with it? Did he used to chase you lot with it on?
[20:27] <craig-s> it was all the vibration i think
[20:27] <Pete_Oherne> lol
[20:27] Julius [keijzerb@isdn-1a34.plex.nl] has quit IRC (Quit: I am Braindead)
[20:28] <Lewman> I'd like to know what were the happiest times and worst times that you guys had while filming.
[20:28] <Lewman> that was from catfish as well
[20:29] <craig-s> the worst times were muddy midwinter days lying in the mud. The best days were when it all clicked and we had more fun hanging out rather than filming anything
[20:29] <Pete_Oherne> looking back now i think those day's were a laugh
[20:29] <Lewman> Are there any specific examples of that?
[20:29] <Lewman> The Barrel scenm
[20:30] <Lewman> scene even ? ;)
[20:30] <craig-s> there was the day the local dscottish country dancing club was using the gear homestead the same day we were
[20:30] <Lewman> You ceryainly did look like you were enjoying having a knife pressed into you ;)
[20:30] <craig-s> mayhem on one side of the property and kilts around the corner
[20:30] <Lewman> hehe
[20:31] <craig-s> the day we blew uop the car was cool
[20:31] <Pete_Oherne> carrying the tracks for the clifftop scenes were a killer
[20:31] <Lewman> how long did that take pete?
[20:31] <Lewman> Who's car was it craig?
[20:32] <craig-s> it was a wrecked toyota corolla painted to look like the capri
[20:32] <Pete_Oherne> they were all made of 4X2 it took every sunday carrying them on our shoulder's
[20:32] <craig-s> it was meant to fly into the air but we didn't use enoiugh expolsives
[20:32] <Lewman> hehe
[20:33] <craig-s> i still remember the heatwave from the explosion washing over us
[20:33] <Pete_Oherne> yea i'll send pix of that
[20:33] <Lewman> Right Mormegil asks : When you worked with PJ on bad taste was he expressing any interest in making Lord of The Rings into a movie?
[20:33] <craig-s> we had six cameras on it cause we couldn't afford to do it twice
[20:33] <Lewman> hehe
[20:34] <craig-s> he had a fantasy idea kicking around but not lotr
[20:34] <Lewman> What was that then?
[20:34] <Pete_Oherne> pete has always been into that genre ever since we were kids
[20:34] <craig-s> something with elves and barbarians and stuff - nothing fully formed. he did write a fanasy script later called blubberhead
[20:35] <Lewman> So LOTR has always been a faviourte book of his?
[20:35] <craig-s> not as i recall...
[20:36] <Pete_Oherne> don't know about that but he did hire ralph bakshi's version
[20:36] <craig-s> he was more into stephen king in the eighties
[20:36] <Lewman> We all know that PJ made a number of small films as a child, like the dwarf patrol etc. Did he ever make any fantasy films, along the themes of LOTR?
[20:37] <craig-s> there was curse of the gravewalkers but that wasvampire sctick
[20:37] <Lewman> Yeah we'll have some pics of that on TBHL soon infact ;)
[20:37] <Pete_Oherne> when we were younger
[20:38] <Pete_Oherne> and the one he did for a school project
[20:38] <Lewman> Jincey asks, what was it like working on an independent film?
[20:38] <craig-s> inspired by ray harryhausen
[20:38] <Pete_Oherne> pete is a big ray hayyhausen fan
[20:39] <Pete_Oherne> harryhausen
[20:39] <Lewman> and bond fan ;)))
[20:39] <Pete_Oherne> yep
[20:39] <craig-s> we didn't really think about it in those terms
[20:39] Guest [~jirc@cr358678-a.nvcr1.bc.wave.home.com] has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
[20:40] <Lewman> Was it souly thought as a thing we would do cause we are friends, and we have time to make it?
[20:40] <craig-s> we had dinner with harryhausen in hamburg back in 91
[20:40] <Lewman> Really? all of you?
[20:40] <craig-s> it was meant too be a 20 minute short fior the film festival;
[20:40] <craig-s> me pj, and ken hammon
[20:41] <craig-s> we had schnitzel as i recall
[20:41] <Pete_Oherne> to me i have a love for the industry so it was cool that BT made it
[20:41] <Lewman> Whats schnitzel?
[20:41] <craig-s> like minute steak with breadcrumbs
[20:41] <Lewman> Have you ever pursued anything else in the NZ industry pete?
[20:42] <Pete_Oherne> no because of the injury
[20:42] <Lewman> Which injury was that?
[20:42] <Pete_Oherne> car accident
[20:43] <craig-s> hes better now though
[20:43] <Lewman> thank god :)
[20:43] <Lewman> Avatar asks Pete: What was it like wearing a half shaven beard for 4 years for the film?
[20:43] <Pete_Oherne> yep all part of the gym
[20:44] <Pete_Oherne> well it was an excuse for me to look like a slob at work:)
[20:44] <Lewman> hehe
[20:44] <Lewman> Was it a case of you turning up one day looking like that, and PJ liking it?
[20:44] <Pete_Oherne> this habit is hard to get out of
[20:44] <craig-s> hes normally quite clean cut
[20:44] <Lewman> So why did you have a moustache craig? do you still?
[20:45] <craig-s> yep - i still look the same
[20:45] <Lewman> hehe
[20:45] <craig-s> just a bit older and fatter
[20:45] <Pete_Oherne> nah i just didn't shave that day
[20:45] <Lewman> And you had to stick with it? ahhh bad luck
[20:45] <Lewman> Still at least it looked good on film!
[20:46] <Pete_Oherne> taken from my fave film
[20:46] <Lewman> which is?
[20:46] <Pete_Oherne> mad max one
[20:46] <Lewman> ahhh cool =]
[20:46] <craig-s> cool!
[20:46] <Lewman> Right Catfish asks : In Derek's/PJ's car, who was doing the actual driving and how? (I assume it wasn't really driven from the back)
[20:46] <Pete_Oherne> nightrider
[20:46] Nob [GlennJS@f133-2-p26.warwick.net] has joined #tbhl
[20:47] <Pete_Oherne> hi Nob
[20:47] <craig-s> i can't recall who did it, but it was driven ibn the normal way - the driver just had to scrubch down
[20:48] <Pete_Oherne> pete drove it and the boys took turns filming
[20:48] <craig-s> we used to call that car the popemobile
[20:48] <Lewman> It was specially made for a diabled person wasnt it? But you aquired from the film unit?
[20:48] <craig-s> yeah - it was designed for wheelchair access
[20:49] <craig-s> it was petes personal car for years
[20:49] <Pete_Oherne> no it was bought off bob an extra from the film
[20:49] <Lewman> :p
[20:50] <Lewman> Hehe okay the Avatar aks this : What did local residents think of you lot going round blowing up cars and engaging in gunfights? Were there any protests?
[20:50] <craig-s> nah - we blew the car up on a farm
[20:50] <craig-s> and the locations were mostly way from houses
[20:51] <Pete_Oherne> gear homestead is just accross from the police college tho'
[20:51] <Lewman> did you have much press coverage DURING the filming?
[20:51] <craig-s> most of the gun effects were put in during editing
[20:51] <craig-s> no press coverage whatsoever until the very end
[20:51] <Pete_Oherne> true
[20:52] <craig-s> rember we were a buch of post-adolescents going out on sundays - not many people took us seriously
[20:52] <Lewman> and where are all these people now? hehe
[20:52] <craig-s> it was good to rub peoples noses in it when the foilm was a success
[20:52] <Pete_Oherne> yea
[20:53] <Lewman> Catfish asks : Have your families seen Bad Taste and what do they think?
[20:53] <craig-s> they love it - proud of the success of it
[20:53] <Pete_Oherne> they all think it is gr8
[20:54] <Lewman> Can they handle the gore?
[20:54] <Pete_Oherne> some can't heehee!!
[20:54] <craig-s> yeah - its all slapstick stuff really
[20:55] <Lewman> Avatar asks : Do you still see the other 2 stars of the film, Terry Potter and Mike Minett?
[20:55] <craig-s> not really - we're all too damn slack to organise a get together!
[20:56] <Pete_Oherne> i haven't seen terry since about april last year
[20:56] <craig-s> but we know where we can find them....
[20:56] <Lewman> ahh comeon, i bet it would be great having a piss up with the boys from AIDS
[20:56] <Pete_Oherne> he usually turns up out of the blue here
[20:56] <craig-s> sigh...yes - we always had a good time on the ale
[20:56] <Pete_Oherne> oooh yea
[20:57] <Lewman> Ok then, who could handle their beer the best out of the whole cast?
[20:57] <Lewman> I hear PJ could...
[20:57] <Pete_Oherne> pete
[20:57] <craig-s> what a capacity for hard likker....
[20:58] <craig-s> we all did our best though
[20:58] <Pete_Oherne> he can put it away and not have any affect

[21:01] <craig-s> it was a great car - had a hotted up engine
[21:01] <Pete_Oherne> all we have now r the pix

[21:04] <Frasier> right here's a question I've wondered about, why did PJ call the company wingnut films?
[21:04] <Frasier> thats from Avatar
[21:04] Crumb [~l@dyn54-ras38.screaming.net] has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
[21:04] <craig-s> good question - don't rember the answer tough!
[21:05] <Pete_Oherne> not too sure but i remember him talking about way back
[21:05] <craig-s> i think he just liked the image of a nut with wings as the logo (which funnily enough he didnn't use in the end)
[21:05] <Frasier> When you were young?
[21:06] <Frasier> what is the logo?
[21:06] <Frasier> Cause i cant make it out
[21:06] <Pete_Oherne> thru BT
[21:06] <craig-s> it wasen't an actual company at the time - in fact, i'm not sure whether it has ever been formally reguistered
[21:06] <Frasier> ok you hear that folks?
[21:06] <craig-s> the logo is kind of a fantasy animal motif
[21:06] <Frasier> Patent the name, and then sell it back to PJ for loads of $$$$
[21:06] gollum [orbital@193.153.225.220] has joined #tbhl
[21:06] <Pete_Oherne> it is a cherub on a flying bug
[21:06] x<craig-s> thats it!
[21:07] <craig-s> god knows where he got the inspiration for that
[21:07] <Pete_Oherne> my brother printed up all his calling cards
[21:07] <Frasier> hehe, best not to know, i think :)
[21:07] <Pete_Oherne> when it was first thought of
[21:08] <Pete_Oherne> it looked really phaqllic
[21:08] <Frasier> hehe
[21:08] StriderJDE [~jirc@CLMBA010-0473.splitrock.net] has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
[21:08] <Frasier> ok then, cat asks : Did the folks in the butcher shops ever wonder why you guys were buying all those sheep's brains and stuff ;)
[21:08] <Frasier> or did you kill the sheep yourself? ;)))
[21:08] jincey has to say yuck at this point ; )
[21:08] <jincey> lol
[21:08] <Frasier> hehe
[21:09] <Pete_Oherne> pete never told them of his reason for the brains
[21:09] <Frasier> what else can they be used for then? :)
[21:09] <Pete_Oherne> no the sheep went on to the abbatiors eventually
[21:09] <Frasier> awwwww....
[21:10] <Pete_Oherne> heehee
[21:10] <Frasier> Jincey asks : do you ever catch the movie on cable and sit down and watch it? what is it like to see yourselves on film?
[21:10] <craig-s> the first time pete used raw meat it went off and it almost made him sick to put it in his mouth - later on he used red jelly to simulate meat
[21:10] <Frasier> hehe

[21:12] Messiah is now known as Messiah_1001
[21:12] <Frasier> Are you recognised as Giles still craig?
[21:14] <Frasier> Do you think PJ will invite you two to the big opening of LOTR in theaters? Has he in the past for his other films?
[21:14] <craig-s> sometimes i do - in fact only last friday i was at a do and someone asked if i was the bt boy - it happened more when i was living in the uk
[21:14] <Frasier> hehe cool
[21:14] <craig-s> we might get an invit - if he remebers
[21:15] <Frasier> What was PJ like as a director? Did he tell you what to do, or did he let you do your own thing?
[21:15] <Frasier> thats was from Avatar
[21:15] <Pete_Oherne> he is a good person and easy going
[21:16] <craig-s> he was quite specific about what we had to do - rember we had a hand wound 16mm camera so we could only shoot for 30 secs max
[21:16] <Frasier> So when the camera rolled you had to be on best behaviour? :)
[21:17] <craig-s> we tried - unfortunately there isn't a blooper reel because we couldn't afford to keep rolling when ewe cocked up
[21:17] <Frasier> hehe
[21:17] <Frasier> So did you ever want to be in any other of PJ's films then?
[21:17] <craig-s> and we cocked up a lot
[21:18] <craig-s> i guess - the problem is finding a role
[21:18] <Frasier> I could imagine you in the feebles craig
[21:18] <Frasier> Would have made a great Bletch
[21:18] <craig-s> ken hammon is an extra in lotr
[21:19] <Frasier> really? any word on what he is?
[21:19] <craig-s> i remember visiting the feebles set - pj had a 50 cal mavhine gun and wanted to play with it!
[21:19] <Frasier> hehe :)
[21:19] <Pete_Oherne> yea i remeber that
[21:20] <Frasier> So he's quite mischevious on set?
[21:20] <craig-s> he is in the bday party scene at the begining of the picture as a miscellaneous hobbit (to his undying shame)
[21:20] <craig-s> he'ds mischevious when he isn't stressing out
[21:20] <Frasier> hehe cool :) Looks like a TBHL exclusive there ;)
[21:21] <Pete_Oherne> craig were u there for the brown bess incident on BT
[21:21] <Frasier> So he does throw big benny's when he wants to?
[21:21] <craig-s> no
[21:22] <craig-s> i wasen't there that day
[21:22] <craig-s> he did enjoy playing with that musket.......
[21:22] <Frasier> hehe yeah i saw the picture of that
[21:23] <Frasier> Anyways guys, It's been just over an hour, may i thank you on behalf of all of us for coming today. You've been great!
[21:23] <Pete_Oherne> pete was firing the brown bess and MIKE was late so pete told us that he was gonna play a joke on him
[21:23] <Frasier> shall we have a few more q's?
[21:24] <craig-s> why not?
[21:24] <Frasier> Ok then great :)
[21:24] <Pete_Oherne> yea
[21:24] <Pete_Oherne> sunday here
[21:24] <craig-s> i'm not doing anything after this
[21:24] <Frasier> So have any of you been on the LOTR set yet, or seen any of it around about NZ?
[21:25] <Frasier> That's from Avatar
[21:25] <Pete_Oherne> only at haywards at xmas
[21:25] <craig-s> they've been active all round wellington. very tight security though
[21:26] <Frasier> So you guys couldnt just say, hey we were in Bad Taste, let us in? :)
[21:26] <craig-s> we could try - it's getting through the red tape thats the problem
[21:26] <Frasier> Narvi ask whether it was you guys who coined the name PJ? And whether he minds being called that?
[21:27] <craig-s> pi always just call him pete - pj is just shorthand really
[21:27] <Pete_Oherne> i usually just call him pete
[21:27] <craig-s> he prefers to be called peter
[21:27] <Frasier> Did it get confusing on set with 2 pete's?
[21:28] <Frasier> Like Pete! put that gun down! No not you!
[21:28] <Pete_Oherne> lol
[21:28] <craig-s> not really - pj is short with a beer gut and pete o is tall and used to have a beer gut
[21:29] <Frasier> hehe His beer baby has swollen a little over the years ;)
[21:29] <craig-s> sadly yes
[21:29] <Frasier> All that success when straight to his... well you know
[21:29] <craig-s> we used to go on binge diets - the one that comes to mind is the muesli and yogurt diet
[21:29] <Frasier> hehe ;) I joke of course :)
[21:29] <Pete_Oherne> pete'll lose when he wan'ts
[21:30] <Pete_Oherne> :)
[21:30] <craig-s> he keeps saying that.....
[21:30] <Frasier> And you'll take him to the Gym pete?
[21:30] <craig-s> i'd pay money to see that
[21:30] <Frasier> i think we all would ;)
[21:30] <Pete_Oherne> lol
[21:31] <Frasier> Cat asks What did you guys think of PJ? Was he perfectly normal or a little strange ;) ?
[21:31] <craig-s> perfectly normal - but eccentric
[21:31] <Pete_Oherne> i grew up with him so what he is i'm like that too
[21:31] <Frasier> hehe
[21:31] <craig-s> we all have our little personality disorders
[21:32] <Frasier> Was there ever any fights on set?
[21:32] <Pete_Oherne> only off set
[21:32] <craig-s> nope. it's fair say we all got on really well - eh pete
[21:32] <Pete_Oherne> yep
[21:32] <craig-s> we were all of similar age, and interests
[21:33] <Pete_Oherne> mike and terry r football hoolies
[21:33] <Frasier> hehe ;) I can see that
[21:33] <craig-s> i think we're all really immature - that helps
[21:33] <Frasier> Godot wants to know, what was PJ like as a kid pete?
[21:33] anora [~jirc@s139151182.aisva.net] has joined #tbhl
[21:34] <Pete_Oherne> he hasn't changed he is still a toon:)
[21:34] <Frasier> So what we see now, is what he was like as a kid? :)
[21:34] <Pete_Oherne> we used to make things like ape masks
[21:34] <Pete_Oherne> yea
[21:34] <Frasier> Planet of the Ape masks?
[21:35] <craig-s> remeber when hhe was off sick for 3 weeks and built an age suit?
[21:35] <craig-s> ape suit i mean!
[21:35] <Pete_Oherne> yes i still have two here one he made and one i made
[21:35] <Frasier> wow..
[21:35] <Frasier> Pete mentioned his fave film, whats yours then craig?
[21:36] <Pete_Oherne> yea craig i remember that he was a fan of rick baker
[21:36] <craig-s> don't have a fav really - evil dead 3 is cool, chineese ghost story stuff like that
[21:37] <craig-s> i still have a soft spot for enter the dragon

[21:38] <Pete_Oherne> hi fracrulew
[21:38] <Lewman> hehe
[21:39] <Lewman> I guess the last question i can ask is, where do you see yourselves in five years? Doing a sequal? Working elsewhere?
[21:39] <Pete_Oherne> working anywhere would be good
[21:40] <Pete_Oherne> lol
[21:40] <craig-s> god knows - anything could happen. I don't think you can rule out a sequel but time is the issue
[21:40] <Lewman> hehe have anything lined up then?
[21:40] <craig-s> only a half doven heineken in the fridge - which i will soon be dealing with
[21:40] <Pete_Oherne> me? i'm out of the game at the mo'
[21:41] <craig-s> we should get together and work on something pete
[21:41] <Pete_Oherne> no porn craigy

[21:41] <craig-s> damn

[21:43] <craig-s> our pleasure
[21:43] <catfish> If I could ask, why wasn't a Bad Taste sequel made earlier?
[21:43] <Avatar> a great chat :)
[21:43] <craig-s> other projects got in the way
[21:44] <Pete_Oherne> i remember me & ppete filmed a sword fight down on the beach once that he was going to split screen for adding in skeletons later
[21:44] <craig-s> and after lotr pete alraedy has another film lined up
[21:44] <Lewman> hehe I dont know about you, but in the mood for a beer and a viewing of Bad Taste
[21:44] <godot> what did you guys do with the ape suits then? run around, scare people?
[21:44] <catfish> what's his next film?!?
[21:44] <Avatar> what's the other film craig?
[21:44] <Lewman> is it king kong?
[21:44] <Pete_Oherne> godot yes
[21:44] <craig-s> pete used them for fancy dress competitiomns and the like - and we took them to a sf convention once
[21:45] <Narvi> 7 Do you think you guys are going to be even more famous when people start looking into past history of PJ once LoTR comes out?
[21:45] <craig-s> not kong no
[21:45] <Pete_Oherne> yep
[21:45] <craig-s> we might make some more money after lotr, but who knows>?
[21:45] <Pete_Oherne> conventions and all that
[21:45] <Lewman> The royalties are still coming in i guess craig?
[21:46] <craig-s> and film fests - i've done 3 or 4
[21:46] <craig-s> we still get a cheque every few months - in fact we're due for one soon
[21:46] <jincey> do y'all ever get over to the states?
[21:46] <Lewman> how much they on average?
[21:46] <Pete_Oherne> i'll look in to that
[21:47] <Lewman> cool
[21:47] <Avatar> right i'd best be off now- thanx for a great chat everyone, especially Craig+Pete!!!
[21:47] <catfish> Hey, you guys ought to pester PJ to do a special edition DVD of Bad Taste. The only one available is VHS quality and hardly anyone knows where to find them.
[21:47] <craig-s> not much - a few hundred dollars - the last one was bigger because the rights to germany were finally sold
[21:47] <jincey> bye avatar!!!
[21:47] <Pete_Oherne> cya avatar
[21:47] <Lewman> bye
[21:48] Avatar [joebarron_@host62-7-82-65.btinternet.com] has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
[21:48] <craig-s> the dvd rights are available in most markets i think (but i could be wrong about that... it depend on the original deals made)
[21:48] <Pete_Oherne> me and lewman were talking about that
[21:49] <Lewman> Yeah i think we should do a special edition of it, cause pete has stated that he'll do it after LOTR but thats in 2004
[21:49] <godot> i heard bt is going to be on german tv some time.
[21:49] <godot> at least the rights were sold there too
[21:49] <Lewman> I bet it would sell like hot cakes
[21:49] <Pete_Oherne> cool godot
[21:49] <craig-s> we talked about doing a book years ago
[21:49] <catfish> Bummer. (I got to tell you guys - BT is my favorite film :)
[21:49] <craig-s> thank you
[21:49] <Pete_Oherne> thanx
[21:50] <craig-s> its flattering to know that people care about bt
[21:50] <Lewman> A tie in book? Like a Lord Crumb colouring in book?
[21:50] <craig-s> more like a behind the scenes book
[21:50] <Pete_Oherne> i don't think this whole scene is over yet
[21:50] <craig-s> true
[21:51] <godot> what is there about this "first" film of pj? the one he made when he was twelve or something...
[21:51] <godot> ...and took fifty pence for the show?
[21:51] <Pete_Oherne> the war movie?
[21:51] <Lewman> I'm sure when LOTR comes out, BT will open up to a whole new generation of fans
[21:52] <craig-s> you never know - nothing surprises me aboout bt anymore - it has taken on a life of its own
[21:52] <Narvi> 7 I'm glad I'm a early generation of PJ fans, too bad we can't be pampered... :-)
[21:52] <Pete_Oherne> :)
[21:52] <Lewman> Certainly one of the most important films in the NZ film industry
[21:52] <catfish> Yeah Narvi :)
[21:52] <godot> uah... it's weird thinking about all those teeny girls having bt posters in their rooms...
[21:52] <godot> :)
[21:52] <Lewman> and it being a splatter film, is the icing on the cake
[21:53] <craig-s> they study it in university you know...
[21:53] <Pete_Oherne> that sounds cool
[21:53] <Lewman> hehe think about it, Pete o herne posters
[21:53] <catfish> I'm not a teeny girl, but I do have a bt poster in my house :)
[21:53] <craig-s> required viewing in film study courses
[21:53] <Lewman> You'll become a teen-idol m8
[21:53] <catfish> Term papers on BT!
[21:53] <Lewman> really? is that in NZ?
[21:53] <craig-s> yep
[21:54] <Lewman> wow... :)
[21:54] <craig-s> thats pop culture for you....
[21:54] <godot> it somehow is funny - and of course great - that it is appreciated in nz that much! wouldn't be possible in germany
[21:54] Narvi: DCC Send narvi.wav (63.16.115.94)
[21:54] <craig-s> we have a lot of fans in germany -
[21:55] <Lewman> right guys it's 02:35 for me, gotta get some sleep. Thanks for all of you coming today, and thanks pete and craig especially
[21:55] <Pete_Oherne> that is where the soundtack was made
[21:55] <catfish> bye lewman!
[21:55] <craig-s> i was banned for a long time there
[21:55] Lewman [~l@dyn141-ras48.screaming.net] has left #tbhl
[21:55] <Nob> craig-s???
[21:55] <godot> sure, i know, since i am from germany - but it still is veeeery underground
[21:55] <Nob> and why were you banned??
[21:55] <Nob> do tell
[21:55] <craig-s> violence and stuff
[21:55] <Nob> ah
[21:56] <catfish> I've been pestering that german company for a re-release of the soundtrack.
[21:56] <craig-s> it should be on general release soon though
[21:56] <catfish> reall? cool!
[21:57] <catfish> Hey Pete, I've never heard of the brown bess incident? What did PJ do to Mike?
[21:57] <Pete_Oherne> mike was late
[21:57] <godot> yeah, i'd like to know too

[21:58] <Pete_Oherne> the gun was loade with blanks but mike still clasped his chest
[21:59] <Pete_Oherne> man did we all have a laugh
[21:59] <godot> so after that all of you came on time? :)
[21:59] <catfish> hehe :)
[21:59] <Pete_Oherne> lol
[22:00] <Pete_Oherne> no mike was still late
[22:00] <catfish> I know PJ made most of the guns for BT, but that revolver and semi-auto sure looked real. Were they from the gun guy Boris?
[22:00] <jincey> he's a gunsmith too?
[22:00] <craig-s> in some shots they were real, in others replicas
[22:01] <craig-s> he was a gun nut
[22:01] <Pete_Oherne> true craig
[22:01] <catfish> who , Boris or PJ? ;)
[22:01] <Pete_Oherne> both
[22:01] <catfish> lol
[22:01] <godot> ow did you feel watching the whole movie for the first time? after all these years, i mean?
[22:01] <craig-s> boris - and pete has a thing about machine guns]
[22:02] <godot> ... all those years of shooting?
[22:02] <Pete_Oherne> i switch off and enjoy the action
[22:02] <craig-s> it was amazing watching the film - pride really in what had been acheived with so little
[22:03] <craig-s> haven't watched it for a while
[22:03] <catfish> You mentioned there's no blooper reel. If there were one, what would have been some of the funnier moments?
[22:04] <godot> and during shooting? did you feel like doing another home movie or .. uh ... something bigger?
[22:04] <craig-s> lots of falling over, running into each other and cracking up. we had dreams of stardom.
[22:05] <Pete_Oherne> the whole thing was pretty funny cos we made jokes all the time
[22:06] <craig-s> well guys, time for me to go - the beers are calling......

[22:06] <catfish> he'd improvise?

[22:08] <Pete_Oherne> yea sort of sounds like i'm saying a sir name
[22:09] <Pete_Oherne> i would have to have a look at the dialoge sheet
[22:09] <godot> uh, the feathers are calling. g'night ya all! had a great time, thanks pete

[22:10] <Pete_Oherne> night godot
[22:10] <catfish> I guess most of the film was improvised, but do you have a 'script' that was written afterwards?
[22:10] <godot> night cat

[22:16] <Pete_Oherne> :)
[22:17] <catfish> She should have been in the film too.
[22:17] godot [trashtestd@pec-72-41.tnt5.me.uunet.de] has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
[22:17] <Pete_Oherne> no she would have shown us all up
[22:17] <Pete_Oherne> :))
[22:17] <catfish> lol!
[22:18] <Pete_Oherne> would have taken a diff turn with babes in sas gear
[22:19] <catfish> hehe - maybe the sequel though :)
[22:19] <Pete_Oherne> i'll be in
[22:19] <catfish> Good!
[22:20] <catfish> When you were first making BT, what did you think its future would be?
[22:20] <Pete_Oherne> actually having the same dreams as pete i had a lot of trust in it
[22:21] <catfish> Did you get a lot of criticism over the amount of gore?
[22:21] <Pete_Oherne> yes but we didn't care
[22:30] <Pete_Oherne> gollum have u seen the making of BT
[22:30] <jincey> sorry isp died on me
[22:30] <gollum> no
[22:31] <gollum> :(
[22:31] <Pete_Oherne> there is a couple of scenes from that in there
[22:31] <Pete_Oherne> i played the head vampire init
[22:31] <gollum> hmmm
[22:31] <catfish> I saw it but it was real grainy and very poor quality - it was hard to see much.
[22:31] <catfish> the docu that is.
[22:32] <Pete_Oherne> oh
[22:32] <Pete_Oherne> that needs to go on the DVD too
[22:32] <catfish> absolutely!
[22:33] <gollum> I believe that movie is a medieval an epic with gentenmale bloodest who drink blood
[22:33] <gollum> it's true?
[22:33] <Pete_Oherne> lewman was saying that we need to get together doing commentary
[22:33] <catfish> that would be great!
[22:33] <Pete_Oherne> yes pete played the dashing hero
[22:34] <catfish> Hey - next time you see PJ tell him to take a break from LOTR and work on the BT DVD ;)
[22:34] <gollum> hehe
[22:34] <Pete_Oherne> i'm gonna talk to pete about it
[22:34] <catfish> :):):):):)
[22:35] <catfish> and the script could go on it too!
[22:35] <Pete_Oherne> when i get hold of him:)
[22:35] <Nob> LOL
[22:35] <Pete_Oherne> he'll be hanging off a mountain at the moment
[22:35] <Pete_Oherne> :)
[22:36] <catfish> Isn't production due for a break soon?
[22:36] <Pete_Oherne> did u guy's know i'm still on the property where we filmed BT
[22:36] <catfish> Cool!
[22:37] <Pete_Oherne> not sure catfish

[22:38] <Pete_Oherne> no i was asked too but my injury was not good
[22:38] <catfish> I hope you're feeling better now.
[22:38] <Pete_Oherne> ups and downs
[22:38] <Pete_Oherne> it happens
[22:39] <catfish> that's a shame about the 'downs'...
[22:39] <Pete_Oherne> more ups now tho'
[22:39] Charliems [Charliems@charlie.nac.net] has left #tbhl
[22:39] <catfish> well that's certainly good :)
[22:40] <Pete_Oherne> in to weight lifting now so can't be all that bad
[22:40] <catfish> ah! so you'll be ready for the sequel then!
[22:40] <Pete_Oherne> yea:)
[22:41] <catfish> I know PJ put a lot of his own money into BT - did you guys use yours as well?
[22:42] <Pete_Oherne> yes i invested at atime when pete neededit
[22:43] <catfish> was there ever a time when either you or PJ (or anyone else) thought about quitting it?
[22:44] <Pete_Oherne> not really we had pete who kept coaching us + the film just grew and grew
[22:46] <Pete_Oherne> there must be about 9-10 hours of rushes
[22:46] <catfish> wow. I heard there was a lot of footage with a different alien mask.
[22:47] <Pete_Oherne> ooh yea it was gonna be written that i was really an alien and we did the whole transformation and everything
[22:48] <catfish> wow!
[22:48] <Pete_Oherne> the other masks looked like evil ET's
[22:49] <gollum> :)
[22:49] <catfish> :) "There's no glowing finger on these b@xxxxds" indeed!
[22:49] <Pete_Oherne> lol
[22:52] <catfish> something else I've wondered about - the scenes with the seagulls landing on Derek. What did you use to attract the birds and was it the dummy?
[22:53] <Pete_Oherne> the dummy had bread crumbs and other food around it
[22:54] <Pete_Oherne> funny thing about the dummy
[22:54] chayiL [idont@ppp-274.tnt-3.ocl.smartworld.net] has left #tbhl ()
[22:55] <Pete_Oherne> the dummy was in a crouched position made for the scene
[22:55] <Pete_Oherne> so it was rigid
[22:56] <Pete_Oherne> and half way down the frame broke
[22:56] <Pete_Oherne> and the end result was it looked really realistic
[22:57] <catfish> yeah! I wondered how that was done! LOL.
[22:57] <Pete_Oherne> cool huh
[22:58] <catfish> yeah - but it looks like it lost a shoe on the way down ;)
[22:58] <Pete_Oherne> it did
[22:59] <catfish> hehe. thinking back to the cars - who owned the capri?
[23:00] <Pete_Oherne> Mike.....it was his baby u can imagine when pete said we want to blow it up
[23:00] <catfish> LOL!
[23:01] <Pete_Oherne> all that ...."should have bought a holden frank" was real they were always having a go about cars those two
[23:02] <catfish> heehee :)
[23:02] <Pete_Oherne> terry and mike that is
[23:02] <catfish> But pardon my ignorance - what is a holden?
[23:03] <Pete_Oherne> terry was named after ozzy osbourne
[23:03] <Pete_Oherne> where are u catfish
[23:03] <catfish> in the US
[23:04] <Pete_Oherne> ok holdens are the equiv of chev or dodge in australia
[23:04] <Pete_Oherne> good cars too
[23:05] <catfish> ah! yes, there's quite a bit of ford/chevy fighting going on here :)
[23:05] <Pete_Oherne> i like both so.....
[23:05] <Pete_Oherne> and harley's
[23:06] <Nob> :)
[23:06] <Pete_Oherne> :)
[23:09] <catfish> There's the joke in BT about Aukland being wiped out and how it wouldn't be so bad. Is that a local joke?
[23:10] <Pete_Oherne> yea we are always having a rib at each other as cities but we r the best:)
[23:10] <catfish> :)
[23:12] <catfish> oh, and in the scene when you guys were synchronizing watches - what was that watch you were wearing?
[23:12] <Pete_Oherne> did u hear about the guy years ago who was somewhere in the states and said he wanted to fly to oakland and he came here by mistake
[23:12] <Nob> LOL
[23:12] <catfish> yeah I did and I laughed and laughed!
[23:12] <catfish> I think the guy was in calif.
[23:13] <Pete_Oherne> mine was a joke it had a pic the of queen on it
[23:13] <catfish> ah - couldn't really make it out - thanks! (I also noticed it was way off on time ;)
[23:14] <Pete_Oherne> that was the other joke
[23:14] <Pete_Oherne> there was something else too
[23:14] <Pete_Oherne> we were wearing SAS uniforms
[23:15] Balin [Palthief@AC93E86A.ipt.aol.com] has joined #tbhl
[23:16] <Pete_Oherne> and mine had 1st SAS terry's was 2nd SAS and mike was 3rd SAS
[23:16] <catfish> hah! I'll have to look for that!
[23:16] <Pete_Oherne> lol
[23:16] <catfish> btw, how did you make the bulletproof vests?
[23:17] <Pete_Oherne> nylon over sobo rubber pete made all that stuff
[23:18] <Pete_Oherne> u could have put a butter knife thru them
[23:18] <catfish> hah! do you still have all of it?
[23:19] <Pete_Oherne> no pete has those
[23:20] <Pete_Oherne> along with just about everything else u should of seen his basement
[23:20] <catfish> I bet it was pretty full and ever fuller now.
[23:21] <Pete_Oherne> when we were younger we dug out under his house and pete made it into a cinema
[23:21] <catfish> cool.
[23:22] <Pete_Oherne> yep watched all the good films there
[23:22] <catfish> did you see BT there too? ;)
[23:23] <Pete_Oherne> no cos pete started filling it all up with props for BT by then
[23:23] <catfish> lol
[23:24] <Pete_Oherne> did u check out the model of craig that pete made
[23:24] <catfish> is that the one in one of the newspaper articles?
[23:24] <Pete_Oherne> yes
[23:25] <catfish> was it ever used?
[23:25] <Pete_Oherne> that was all gonna be in the film
[23:25] <Pete_Oherne> no
[23:25] Mormegil [Mormegil@217.kansas-city-06-07rs.mo.dial-access.att.net] has joined #tbhl
[23:26] <catfish> what was it going to be used for?
[23:27] <Pete_Oherne> well at the time craig was gonna save the day
[23:27] <jincey> wb mormegil : )
[23:28] <Mormegil> thnx
[23:28] <catfish> how?
[23:30] <Nob> G'Night Everybody!!
[23:30] Nob [GlennJS@f133-2-p26.warwick.net] has left #tbhl
[23:30] <catfish> night Nob!
[23:30] <Pete_Oherne> the scenes that the model was gonna be in was a flying machine
[23:31] <catfish> !!!
[23:31] <Pete_Oherne> i think with the budget it was gonna be tricky
[23:31] <catfish> wasn't there also a version that had him being eaten?
[23:32] <Pete_Oherne> craig and terry did death scenes as i recall
[23:34] <catfish> were there some scenes that you really like that got left out of the final cut?
[23:34] <Pete_Oherne> hmmm...
[23:37] <Pete_Oherne> i think pretty much what is there is cool other than that i would have to see the rushes again
[23:38] <catfish> ok. what's your favorite part of the film as it is?
[23:39] <Pete_Oherne> i wuold have to say derek cutting an exact shape of himself to get in:)
[23:39] <catfish> lol! that is funny :)
[23:40] <Pete_Oherne> yea but on the whole the film still makes me laugh
[23:41] <catfish> I'm always laughing each time I see it - the jokes just keep getting better :)
[23:41] <catfish> and they were mighty good to begin with!
[23:41] <Pete_Oherne> :)
[23:42] <catfish> did you help build the gear homestead model?
[23:44] <Pete_Oherne> we did yes.....but by that stage the film commission came on board and things started moving quicker
[23:45] <catfish> did they help with the explosions - I imagine they were neither cheap or easy.
[23:45] <Pete_Oherne> the one that we blew the side out of was only a frontage
[23:46] <catfish> the sheep one was great :)
[23:47] <Pete_Oherne> me and pete shot that
[23:48] <catfish> when you guys were talking about a sequel (I know, a one-track mind ;), was there ever any plot ideas discussed?
[23:49] <Pete_Oherne> yes there was a plan for derek's return.....and frank had to round up the boys but he had to find them first
[23:50] <catfish> hah! I'm glad derek got to return ;)
[23:51] <Pete_Oherne> yea he needed brain surgery
[23:51] <catfish> :)
[23:54] <catfish> but if a sequel gets made after lotr PJ will have to find that car again - I suppose he doesn't have it anymore?
[23:54] <Pete_Oherne> i've known pete since about 10 years old now....i think
[23:55] <Pete_Oherne> i would say pete would still have the car somewhere probably in his basement
[23:55] <catfish> lol! That car is a riot.
[23:56] <Pete_Oherne> as i say he keeps everything:)
[23:56] <catfish> :)
[23:57] <catfish> were you in all of PJ's early films?
[23:57] <Pete_Oherne> i was
[23:57] <Pete_Oherne> right from the age 11 or 12
[23:58] <Pete_Oherne> hope those never get out
[23:58] <catfish> hehe! I did see clips from them on that BT documentary :)
[23:59] <catfish> I think some made it into the feebles 'making of' too.
[23:59] <Pete_Oherne> yea:)
[23:59] <Pete_Oherne> pretty funny
[00:00] <catfish> which did you like the best?
[00:00] <Pete_Oherne> his take on monty python was cool
[00:01] <catfish> I guess that wasn't on the docs.
[00:01] <Pete_Oherne> as a rib it was called Ponty Mython
[00:01] <catfish> :)
[00:02] Mormegil is now known as Lurkegil
[00:02] <Pete_Oherne> he shot it at school and the story was that all the teachers were exploding
[00:02] Balin [Palthief@AC93E86A.ipt.aol.com] has left #tbhl
[00:02] <catfish> lol!
[00:03] <Pete_Oherne> yea very popular by us who didn't want to be taught
[00:04] <catfish> but not by the teachers, I'm sure...
[00:04] <Pete_Oherne> yea but they have learn
[00:06] <Pete_Oherne> then there the tributes to james bond
[00:06] <Pete_Oherne> were
[00:07] <catfish> yeah, I saw a clip of one of those.
[00:08] <Pete_Oherne> we filmed a scene all day and when the sun was going down pete said guy's i forgot to take the lens cap off
[00:08] <Pete_Oherne> gets ya every time that one
[00:08] <catfish> haha!
[00:08] <Pete_Oherne> so we had to do it all over

[00:13] <catfish> ooh! when did it happen?
[00:14] <catfish> oh, was it forgetting the film that was on BT?
[00:14] <Pete_Oherne> well u see we were so full of enthusiasum that we just forgot stuff
[00:14] <Pete_Oherne> lol
[00:14] <catfish> :)
[00:16] <Pete_Oherne> as i say we had a gr8 laugh on the film
[00:16] <catfish> sounds like it!
[00:16] <Pete_Oherne> we were always calling each other BASTARDS
[00:16] <catfish> lol!
[00:17] <jincey> is that where the name tbhl came from?
[00:17] <Pete_Oherne> yea it was the thing
[00:18] <catfish> would you film all day or just part of it?
[00:19] <Pete_Oherne> we would film till pete said "well there goes the light"
[00:19] <Pete_Oherne> sometimes indoors till the small hours
[00:20] <catfish> wow - was it hard or were just having too good of a time to worry about the long hours?
[00:20] <catfish> were you just...
[00:21] <Pete_Oherne> well for a lot of the time we were the crew too so we were behind the scenes as well
[00:22] <Pete_Oherne> lugging equipment
[00:22] <catfish> ah yes - those tracks up the mountain :)
[00:22] <Pete_Oherne> ooooh yea that was a chore
[00:23] <Pete_Oherne> thru a nature reserve
[00:23] <catfish> :)
[00:23] <Pete_Oherne> and then thre were the crane shots on the cliff side
[00:24] <catfish> and i'll bet that crane was pretty heavy...
[00:24] <Pete_Oherne> those scenes with robert were scary
[00:24] <Pete_Oherne> yea and the trolley
[00:24] <catfish> yeah, it looked very dangerous.
[00:25] <Pete_Oherne> it was there is a scene where i had to film robert bursting from the shrub....
[00:26] <Pete_Oherne> and the cliff was very steep
[00:27] <catfish> were there any close calls?
[00:27] <Pete_Oherne> none that i can remember like that only with the sledgehammer scene
[00:28] <Pete_Oherne> have u heard that one?
[00:28] <catfish> yes, was that the one with Mike?
[00:29] <Pete_Oherne> yea poor mike
[00:29] <catfish> was he real upset by it? It certainly sounds scary to me.
[00:30] <Pete_Oherne> he didn't really take it in till after
[00:31] <catfish> i hope someone bought him a beer that night!
[00:31] <Pete_Oherne> he made sure he had some
[00:31] <catfish> :)
[00:32] <Pete_Oherne> yea that cliff is a sight to behold
[00:32] <catfish> did you ever think about using safety wires?
[00:33] <Pete_Oherne> i'm not sure i'm familiar with this concept....what is safety??
[00:33] <Pete_Oherne> lol
[00:34] <catfish> ha!

[00:37] <Pete_Oherne> terry's band did the music when the car exploded
[00:38] <Pete_Oherne> Madlight

[00:40] <Pete_Oherne> it had bits from the film
[00:41] <catfish> i've even talked with the german company that released it but they have no plans for a re-release.
[00:41] <catfish> they say they lost the prints for the inserts.
[00:41] <Pete_Oherne> lewman has some links on the home page

[00:54] <tehanu> Hi, everyone
[00:54] <catfish> hi tehanu
[00:54] <tehanu> Hi, Pete
[00:55] <Pete_Oherne> hi tehanu
[00:55] <jincey> hi tehanu : )
[00:55] <tehanu> Thank you for gracing us with your presence!
[00:55] <tehanu> Was it fun? I missed it all
[00:55] <gollum> aiya teh!!!!
[00:55] <Pete_Oherne> no probs
[00:55] <catfish> it's been tons of fun!
[00:55] <catfish> (and pete's being super nice by staying overtime :)
[00:56] <tehanu> It's probably a completely lousy sunday afternoon where he is, same as here
[00:56] <Pete_Oherne> fun day
[00:56] tehanu has NO desire to go out anywhere
[00:56] <Pete_Oherne> yea sunday what can ya do
[00:56] <tehanu> How long have you been on here?
[00:56] <catfish> it's late evening now saturday where i am.
[00:57] <Pete_Oherne> 11:40am
[00:57] <tehanu> wow!
[00:57] <tehanu> Lots of talking....I'm sorry I missed it!
[00:57] <catfish> i hope someone has been keeping a transcript - this has been too good to lose!
[00:57] <tehanu> There'll be a transcript somewhere
[00:58] <catfish> good.
[00:58] <jincey> i am logging
[00:58] <Pete_Oherne> i haven't:)
[00:58] <tehanu> Pete, this is probably covering old ground, but do you and the other guys who were in Bad Taste still hang out together socially sometimes?
[00:58] <jincey> brb
[00:59] <Pete_Oherne> we keep in touch as often as we can
[00:59] <Pete_Oherne> mainly me craig ken & pete
[00:59] Lurkegil is now known as Mormegil
[00:59] <tehanu> I guess there's nothing like doing something like that for the first time, when you don't know if it'll succeed.....you wouldn't want to lose touch with the people you shared that with, I guess
[01:00] <Pete_Oherne> well i grew up with pete so it wasn't by accident:)
[01:00] <tehanu> Heh!
[01:01] <Pete_Oherne> so it was sortta natural progression:)
[01:02] <tehanu> Yeah. My brother had a bunch of friends he grew up with, they made little videos, wrote scripts....one of them was really so talented. But he canned out, got to drinking......with PJ and his friends, it seems like you never got the speed wobbles.
[01:02] <tehanu> The friend got to drinking I mean, not my bro. I sometimes wonder what they could have achieved though
[01:03] <Pete_Oherne> those things are a part of life in a way
[01:04] <tehanu> Yeah. That's why I don't watch TV....there, you'll get a bunch of friends, and they go through dramas, and the endings are always so pat....I hate it
[01:04] <tehanu> Anyway, I'd better go. I'm hoping for a phone call.
[01:04] <catfish> bye tehanu
[01:04] <tehanu> Thanks for coming and being with the fans for a while
[01:04] <tehanu> Cheers
