Welcome to MONSTERLAND FORUMS! We are a casual and friendly online community of movie fans who like to talk about giant monsters, horror and sci-fi in cinema, on television and on Blu Ray/DVD. There are forums for sports, casual chat and video games as well. For those of you who like making art, writing stories and creating videos, our community includes a forum for these submissions as well. Check out our main index page and other board forums! Anyone is welcome to join our community!

MONSTERLAND FORUMS was created on January 29, 2006 for the purpose of giving fans of giant monster films and other sci-fi/horror movies a friendly online meeting place to discuss all of their favorite films and other things of interest like video gaming and sports.

MONSTERLAND FORUMS has 180,000 posts. This online community, while over twelve years old, is currently no longer as active as the early years(between 2007-2009). Still, we have a half dozen members who continue to participate here.

For those who enjoy giant monster movies be sure to check out THE MEG, opening in theaters on August 10th, 2018. This film, based on the 1997 book "Meg", written by Steve Alten, features an enormous, 75 foot long Megalodon shark! Other giant monster movies that we fans can look forward to: GODZILLA KING OF THE MONSTERS(in 2019) and GODZILLA VS KONG in 2020! PACIFIC RIM-UPRISING(2018), the sequel to 2013's "Pacific Rim", is about to release to Ultra 4k and Blu Ray. In these movies, 250 foot tall robots defend Earth from an assault of other worldly giant monsters(kaiju).

Yes. It has been rather satisfying.

Two questions:

1. Is Swedish PM Fredrik Reinfeldt generally regarded as a competent leader in your home country?

2. Why do you believe terrorists would target Sweden given this country's historically neutral position regarding world politics? heyo

1: The opinion is rather mixed, but he is at least popular enough to manage re-election.
EDIT: While I didn't vote for him, I'll commend Reinfeldt for his press conference where he urged the public not to jump to the wrong conclusions due to the attack. Sweden is a multicultural society and a free one, and should remain such.

2: Sweden has roughly 500 soldiers posted in Afghanistan serving a support role. It's currently believed this is the reason for the recent attack, although quite frankly given the highly incompetent way the attack was executed I would guess that it was an independent actor, rather than an organized plan.

Explain. Do you mean stereotypes about Americans in the eyes of Swedes?

There's the typical "fat and greedy" thing... not to mention the view that a lot of you are idiots.

Those who think the latter obviously fail to consider that we have our own idiots in abundance, as well.

How many American cable TV channels are available for viewing in typical Swedish cable broadcast systems?

A lot. Odds are that if it's not a local channel, we get it. I myself watch CNN quite frequently.

Indeed. You'd be hard-pressed to find a restaurant that didn't.

Hard to say. A lot of people are disliked viciously, but not that many gather universal hate.

Would you characterize the general perspective of Swedes regarding ABBA as:

-a group still generally revered by the majority of Swedish citizens

-a group of dinosaurs, old and generally useless now and incapable of generating any fan interest

-something in between the aforementioned

?

Most Swedes still kinda like ABBA. No one would want them to perform now, though. They're dinosaurs.

Topic: is there a "national pastime" that is considered exclusive to the country of Sweden?

Not particularly, no. We do tend to gather up to complain about the bloody plowing machines, but I don't think that counts.

Where does funding for this come from? The Swedish citizenry?

Is the tax system in Sweden income based or is it based on a sales tax of some kind?

Regarding your home country is there anything you would definitely change if you became the Swedish PM?
