SPOILERS….Its been a while since I saw it but I'm fairly certain he got burned and in a fit of rage killed his wife and baby. He wanted to believe they just left (and you may even see it at one point), but he knew they didn't, and that's why he could never go inside the house. He knew what he'd find there.

But it *can* be coming from the same person and the questions of what it takes to make a person sound that way, or do those things, is what makes it work. Is it standard issue trauma induced schizophrenia, or is it demonic possession, or are they the same thing? Simon doesn't just live in the wounded, he lives in the…

I think I saw The Changeling once when I was very young and as a result empty wheelchairs in general are just freaky.

That's one of those surprisingly quotable movie lines.

This is one of the cases where the director's cut is inferior. The ambiguity in the released ending is what sells it for me. You hit the end and re-evaluate what you've seen and there's the voice over from the final recording playing which really leaves it so it could go either way. But then again I enjoy horror…

Not just a thing, a thing which is hearable.

Having not read the book I can only assume the reviewer was unbiased and only mentioned the gender issues because they were pointed and off-putting. Like having a main character who's a standard likable an action hero, except that he refers to everyone with racist epithets.

Bah. I hate that. If there is a thing and that thing is worth having, you should be able to have it everywhere. Nothing more frustrating than to finally find that DVD you've been looking for online and realize its not available in your region's format for some stupid reason.

Seriously. I don't see how they can read this thread and not consider bringing that back.

My dad worked for a while as a porn distributor for backissues of mags and he fucking hated Traci Lords. Mainly because when the scandal broke he had to run through his warehouse full of merchandise and black out all the naughty bits in her spreads in order to not have to destroy the merchandise. And because the…

I've got Cemetary Man on DVD and Terriers is on Netflix, which I think qualifies as not hard to find.

So I watched this last night and on Netflix the very end of the episode is cut off. You obviously know something bad is going to happen but they didn't show it. I only found out tht they *did* show it by looking at the review of the episode they had here (not favorable).

The book's trapped in the cold and ice thing worked really well. And the being hunted by an unseen force thing worked really well. Meeting the unseen force was horrible and ridiculous and retroactively made me dislike all I had read leading to that point.

Me too! But several hours later…

"Talking Tina" has long been a favorite, in part because my mom collected dolls. (Still has a Mortimer Snerd ventriloquist dummy in the room we stay in when we come to visit, you know, for the kids…). It was on again recently (New Years Marathon) and I watched it with some people who had never seen it and the line at…

My favorite 20,000 ft reference in pop culture was when Shatner and Lithgow met up on 3rd Rock From the Sun and one of them talks about how he had the strangest occurrence on the flight over and the other responds with "you know the same thing happened to me" or somehting like that. (Lithgow having played the Shatner…

Seriously. OK, "Somebody That I Used to Know" was everywhere and so by definition somewhat mainstream. But its not the type of song that *anyone* expected to be as big as it was. But even if your take is that even if he wasn't mainstream before, surely he is now, give a listen to "Bronte" or "State of the Art" and see…

And so we have the start of the most understated gimmick account ever.

God, who'd want to be such an asshole?

I assume there are only two types of people in the world: people who like William Powell and those who have never seen his movies. The first time I saw The Thin Man I was amazed. And he's damn good in this too.
