Yeah. I feel like there's a backlash against Moore because this scene of him condemning adaptations of his works replays so often. But its not like he heard this was coming out and called up Entertainment Weekly to tell them how he really feels. They were lazy reporters looking for an easy story and knew right where

For me the creepiest moment was at the bottom of the well when the medallion slowly pushed up through the dirt. There is nothing scary at all about the scene, its just the ghost revealing a piece of evidence to the person trying to help him out, but I remember it giving me chills.

I can imagine this being terrible on TV. Not because they'd cut anything out of it, but because so much of the movie is the growing atmosphere of dread that I'd think constant cuts to commercial would kill it. Same thing with Ghost Story.

This looks less Godzilla and more Ultraman. Still derivative and unoriginal (anyone else reminded of Perdido Street Station with the description of a slum built in the bones of a giant beast?), but I don't expect that to hinder my enjoyment of this film at all. I probably could have puchased my ticket when I saw a

McCormick?

On one hand, from the one clip available this project didn't really appeal to me as a film (I'd rather read it as a comic which is how the shots made it feel). On the other hand, that's a cool Alan Moore shirt.

Does your use of the word "volume" imply these have been released collected now? I'd been meaning to give these a shot but at this point I prefer comics I can put on a shelf instead of in a box (or pile).

Agreed. Miracleman, the original Ringu, and Uzumaki are some of the only things I've ever stolen from the internet and its because they were rumored to be awesome and I had no other way of acquiring them. Original Ringu was finally released on DVD, deleted my copy and bought one. Arguing over who gets my money just

"Broad"-band, huh? Can Men fit too or is it just the Dames?

Maybe its just the pairing with the hippie movement but I hate the song because I hear it as a request to give it up to the wives and girlfriends of soldiers.

He has a bit in Stir of Echoes where a guy with a newly acquired ability to see auras witnesses the dark emotions a woman who recently miscarried feels towards a woman with a newborn baby. All sadness and resentment and want in black lashing tendrils. Don't remember much else about the book but I remember the

Nice, but true enough. Its crazy to think how much of pop horror/scifi he had a hand in or provided inspiration for. Normally when this kind of thing happens you say he will be missed. But he won't. Because most every piece of sci fi we see bears his fingerprint or its echoes. How can you miss him when he'll always be

Next week: The Church!

"Do You Realize" would also work.

I think my problems with the captain stem from the fact that in my memories he looks like the inflatable auto-pilot from Airplane, which makes him somewhat resistent to character development.

True. Along with Jim Dale's awesome Harry Potter readings, that's one I should own.

Who really expected more of this after the previews? My only hope is that Pitt, who if I remember right was the one who initiated this whole WWZ movie thing after reading the book, makes some money from this and makes a true adaptation of the book. Initially I'd hoped for it as a DVD extra but if they put enough into

WALL-E would have been improved by never focusing on the humans at all. The fat humans finding love when their screens break, the captain realizing what they've become and deciding to turn around the process by turning around the ship, these feel like throwaway B storylines againt the WALL-E/EVE romance, and somewhat

Twice!

Only first season. But a lot of second season is on youtube from what the family says.
