(You can play the same game with big stretches of the southwest as well: lots of movies claim to take place in AZ but are filmed anywhere between SoCal and Oklahoma.)
I'm going to disagree with Mark. SD had way more trees because of the Black Hills. ND has shelter belts and some forest around Devils Lake and that's about it.
But the Plains know no border and this landscape stretches way up into Canada.
I was stationed out at Ellsworth AFB, S.D back in 88-94. S.D is a barren waste land. I worked the Missile fields, its a lot of nothing, and most of the trees are scrub bushes in the badlands and Black Hills.
This post made me think about the long long ago - but what if Al Gore was right and the internets was melting the ice caps and polar bears were gaining sentience and SkyNet replaced our NORMAL coffee with Folgers crystals... and... and...(http://www.kgs.ku.edu/Extension/fieldtrips/guidebooks/NWKS/figs/geo.gif) and then I was like "OMG Smokers!" and then Kevin Costner was drinking his own pee and I had to toss my hands way up in the air (and wave them all around like I just don't care).
Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)
Mike Ness auto-awesomed What a weird show. Huge mosh pit full of dude-bros and middle aged dudes (and some badass chick with hemp purse that she never lost) stomping around like the freakin' Bushwackers from the WWF. Met a middle-aged english couple who used to be in the music distributor business who had been at a bunch of the same shows as we had over the last few years.
I can almost see the blood soaked wood chipper in the distance.
ReplyDeleteThat's in Brainerd, MN, Paul. C'mon.
ReplyDeleteDude it's all the same frozen wasteland.
ReplyDeleteAlso Canada.
ReplyDeleteYeah that looks like Ontario to me. I think I'll be making that drive on the number 3 bypass out to Kingsville in about 2.5 hours.
ReplyDeleteReminiscent of Saskatchewan, only with more topography.
ReplyDeleteJust like South Dakota except N.D has more trees.
ReplyDeleteSee!? I claim vindication.

Oh yeah, Black Hills is gorgeous. Spent a couple weeks hiking around in there.

ReplyDeleteThey always put missile silos in the worst places.
ReplyDeleteBest proximity to Moscow, fewest civilian casualties for a counterstrike.

ReplyDeleteSo to summarize: I can't remember if I took my medication today.
