And the trailer for THE LODGER is STARTLINGLY modern; I can't imagine how audiences in 1944 reacted to it- it must have been like a bullet in the eye: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

UNDYING MONSTER is probably a better- DIRECTED movie than THE WOLF MAN, but WOLF MAN has greater emotional resonance. (it's very easy to mock the idea of big Yank Lon Chaney as being the son of tiny Brit Claude Rains, but they are excellent together- that last shot of Rains, as he realises exactly what he's done, is…

Batman sells more toys.

An article about french lesbians really requires…

Well, Rhas just had his run in the Nolan films, so it's safe to say Snyder won't be using him.

Imagine David Warner saying the word "Archer" with cool disdain.

Well, they did turn footage of Bruce's real-life funeral into GAME OF DEATH II.

Actually, if you've seen the original FRIDAY THE 13TH, you kind of have seen a "form" of TOTDN, as it shamelessly rips off a couple of bits from it.

Probably couldn't get the other two actors to come back.
Not that that stopped them with Bruce, though…

I've not only seen it; I've seen it under the much cooler alternate title BREAKFAST AT THE MANCHESTER MORGUE.
Sadly, though, I've only seen TWITCH OF THE DEATH NERVE under the much LESS cool title BAY OF BLOOD.

And here's some of it:

I'm holding out for Marvel to just make Miles the OFFICIAL Spider-Man, and then Disney's lawyers claim they can make their OWN movies about him because he's a "new character".

Actually, since BOTH Stallone's Dredd AND Urban's Dredd are, in their own ways faithful to aspects of the comic, I'd love to see a series of films where they just keep recasting and trying different bizaare takes.
Obviously, Edgar Wright should do the one with "Walter the Wobot, Fwiend of Dwedd", and Guillermo Del…

Brandon Nowalk: Sergio Donati, co-writer of GBU, actually DID write a sequel in the early 1980s, and it was almost made; only a personal request from Leone to producer Alberto Grimaldi prevented it from going into production. (Leone had already turned down the director's chair, of course; Joe Dante, of all people, was…

The two sides of the genre are closely linked: I read how Val Lewton (who had a low opinion of his rivals in general) bristled at the studio telling him to use Boris Karloff, who he regarded as a schlock artist who made trashy films. But then, after actually MEETING Karloff, he did a 180 turn and realized Boris was…

I too, find most horror films unscary, probably because I love the iconography and imagery of the genre TOO much. (Kim Newman noted that this is the reason neither Tim Burton or Rob Zombie will ever produce a truly good horror film; they gain too much PLEASURE from them).
Seriously, Universal and Hammer were my…

So a guy calling himself "4-Hour Erection" likes "The Amazing Colossal Man"?
HIGHLY REVEALING.

And people say foreign film is inaccessible.

"the cops in the movie who for some reason don't suspect a crazy surgeon
who delivers cryptic lines about death with a faraway look in his eyes."
See, THIS is the kind of thing Columbo always picked up on.

He likes his job, and it shows.
