Tristiac, maybe because he was pathetic, and loyal. When a character like that dies, ouch.

The bear in CS Lewis' "The Last Battle"
He's kinda dumb anyway, but loyal and good, and he is shot by an arrow during battle and he starts to say "I don't understand" but he dies before he can finish the phrase and bwaaaaaaaaaah. I was about nine, and it all seemed just so wrong. I burst into hysterical tears, and

You know, Jan-Michael Vincent rather notoriously has had severe substance abuse problems. The last I heard from him he had been homeless, and looked all grizzled, and that was awhile ago. It's very possible that he couldn't memorize lines by the time of Airwolf - he dropped out of sight right after that.

Yeah I agree, she sounds really cool.

It would kinda make sense? It better happen.

Maybe so, maybe so.

Sometimes it's fun to speculate about what would have happened. Sheesh.

Yes she lobbied really hard for it, and I think she would have been perfect. I agree that Crawford won not necessarily for giving a great performance (though it's perfectly fine).

"Rose's Turn"
That's Chris Colfer over there, right next to Ursa Major.

Don't forget the westerns
"Forty Guns" - hoo-boy, she's hot in that.

Kid Dada, that's one of the most astute observations I've come across in awhile. She did darn well for herself, but she came so close to playing Mildred Pierce. Joan Crawford's Oscar would doubtless have been hers, but JC had WB in her corner. Then Crawford could have won for 1947's "Possessed". And everybody's

Yes, that was the twist at the end. Basically Psycho II just throws mothers at him all the way through, and they kill each other, more or less. I know the end is gimmicky, but I always liked that the movie ends with him back in the house in the same situation he was in in Psycho. It's also nice and suspenseful.

Yes, that's what I'd always heard. And it was that howl in the void thing, but I found so much of it clumsily executed, and perfunctory

Oops, yes, Evening Star. OK I cried a little bit when someone died…but I hated myself for it.

Yeah, Psycho III really gets you inside of Norman Bates' brain, and it's awfully scary. You never really think before that that he must be scared to death all the time. I mean he keeps killing his mother! And she keeps talking to him! And killing people!

I do believe that those giant shears were actual medical instruments, used in autopsies. Scary…

Yes! "Cat People" and "Curse of the Cat People" are both awesome movies. On the other hand I just watched "The 7th Victim" after years of anticipation and it was just awful. Yeah at least one really good scene, but that just managed to point out how bad the rest of it was.

Wow, "The Morning Star". It's not really that much of a departure from Terms of Endearment - many of the same characters, the same Houston location. It was a departure in that it…wasn't funny, or moving, or anything. Completely unnecessary in all ways.

La Pipe - I refused to look.

The first time I saw Alien Resurrection I walked out. Recently it was on TV and dang, I thought it was pretty good!
