I did too, and the misogyny emanating from the characters was part of what made the film upsetting, and i think that was deliberate. I found the second film more enjoyable, but not scary.

Was I alone in being genuinely scared by VHS? I don't think I've ever found a film as unrelentingly intense in my life, and I feel compelled to consider it a modern horror masterpiece. I'd even go as far as to say that the sequence in the woods contains one of cinema's best ever villain concepts: a creature that…

Well, sounds like Bill's diet has improved. Come on, what more do you want?!?

Vinnie wasn't a dork!

Woah. This changes everything. I guess the subtleties of the scene were lost on me as a 13 - 37 year old, but I feel much better about myself now, thanks.

I loved those ones and thought he might be coming into some sort of late-career golden patch, but then Mr Mercedes was Bag of Bones bad, and I couldn't even get through Dr Sleep.

Damnit, you're recommending the wrong Australian crocodile film from 2007. This should be an article about Black Water!

Hang on what about Mike Oldfield, after Kanye used "In High Places" to kick off "My Beautiful Black Fantasy"?
Mike Oldfield's back, right?

And he's even more handsome than Joel!

What? Fucken Smile and Pet Sounds, again? Fairweather fans, the lot of you. Sunflower is all you need, and maybe some Carl And The Passions to shake things up every once in a while. The real fans know where its at.

Knocked him right outta his Keds!

Things worked out pretty well for Andy Bell. Apparently before the Oasis gig came up he was about to join Gay Dad.

woah. I was downloading the kindle sample before I even got to the *ETA.

Jeez dude, thanks for that. What will you ruin next - The Boy Who Could Fly?
