Lionel Richie's "Dancing on the Ceiling"

Post by Scott Gardener »

Underworld, Van Helsing, and if I saw what I thought I saw on the trailer, now Cursed is doing it, too! Werewolves are all doing that eighties song!

Oh, what a feeling!
When you're dancing on the ceiling!

I know some of you are picturing it even now....

Wall/Cieling crawling Werewolves make me cringe....

....where ARE they getting walls to support their weight anyways? Why do they crawl o them in the first place?

Whoever's idea that was, someone get me a crowbar, i got me some legs to break.

I may be wrong, but I think the logic is that crawing on walls and ceilings is an attack strategy, that if there are werewolves all over then they're more likely to get past the defenses of their foes..in my mind, if they're that cunning, then they'd find a better way,such as using their strength to burst thru walls and attack from different rooms..

This is how werewolves CAN climb walls.

They have enough force to punch their claws and fingers THRU the sheetrock.. AND be able to grab a 2x4 studd, and use it to hoist themselves upwards. Either that or use enough momentum to get far enough up the wall to use the wall itself to lunge outward in a diffferent direction.

I'm a big believer in gravity.

I guess each werewolf has a 2X4 stud finder built into their matrix. :wink:

Having the nose flash red, when they find a stud, is also silly. :lol:


Silly werewolf, walls are not for climbing!!

Now, now. Gravity? Let's be rational. There is no gravity, the world is flat, and at the end thar be dragons!
Gravity...we used to burn people who spoke of such things! *shakes finger*

It's a shame an entire family can be torn up by something as simple as wild dogs.

I'm glad gravity is being taken into consideration...

Crawling on walls is a dumb idea.... You would think with all that strength they would punch through a wall like mentioned early to get the drop on the unsuspecting victums...

Underworld was made (in my opinion) by vampire fans rather than by a compination of ww and vampire fans... Cursed is more along the lines of lycanthrope being a curse rather than what it really is.... a blessing. :lol:

You wouldn't believe how few people view it that way.

Even in books only a few stories I've read actually make it sound like being a werewolf is desirable.

"Wolf spiders" refer to any spider belonging to the family Lycosidae, and the genus Lycosa, in particular.
The "Wolf" of "wolf spider" does not refer to its size, given as how the vast majority of wolf spider species have a leg span of barely a centimeter. It refers to their furry appearance, and that they are excellent hunters.

The curse of not being lame

Post by Scott Gardener »

Ever notice how many times blessings ARE portrayed as curses? Immortality--how sad for you. Flying, enhanced hearing, night vision, shape-shifting, ESP, precognition--all so tragic. Wouldn't it be so much better to be as mundane, helpless, and "normal" as everybody else? It's a major cliche. I loved the movie Spiderman because he embraced up front his powers, and his character issues focused more on the consequences of his actions than his resistance to super-ness.

OK, I'm guilty, too. I guess it's a reverse-psychology principle.
