Man this is one of my all-time scariest movies (between my dread of hospitals and my terror of "reality" proving illusory, it really pushes my buttons).  Not looking forward to a sequel/remake/ripoff, though.

He has a wife you know…

I haven't seen the movie yet, and am not sure I'll actually bother, but the reviews inspired me to re-read World War Z for the first time since it came out.  It's breezy enough that saying I'm reading it "this month" feels a bit grandiose - "this week" would be more appropriate.  I'm annoyed in going through it again…

Sounds like Hammers of Misfortune, too.

I actually think Vel Johnson is ideal for this list.  The twinkies?  McClane's "Stevie Wonder" remark?  And yet he comes out of nowhere to save the day at the end.

Didn't King also have that "Storm of the Century" series on for a while?  And was he possibly involved in another series, about a hospital?  I feel like he's tried his hand at television several times, albeit with tepid results.

Well the AVC did Mall Week already, no reason they can't do Cannibalism Week too.  I second the motion!

If we're making ideal movie-pairs, I think the companion of Splice has to be Womb.

In the sequel the killer murders people who represent the seven Catholic virtues: prudence, justice, temperance, fortitude, faith, hope, and charity.  (Gwynneth Paltrow's head represents justice this time.)

That Houses track sounds like Moby crossed with Conlon Nancarrow.  I might check them out.

I really wanted that ending to make some kind of allegorical sense.  But it doesn't.

If we're talking classical, it would have to be Charles Ives's "The Unanswered Question."  Quite possibly my favorite piece of music, full stop.

Well it is a funeral.  I don't want to appear immodest but I assume the people who care enough about me to put in an appearance on the occasion of my death will be unhappy at my departure.  I don't want to destroy them emotionally, but no one is going to like you for insisting on playing "I Feel Good" or something at…

Her cover of "Look For Me (I'll Be Around)" would be an awesomely terrifying funeral song.  In fact I kind of want to hear that on a zombie movie soundtrack right now.

Ooh ooh ooh!  Late edition (/addition)!  Maybe for the recessional they could play the closing credits music from Mystery Science Theater 3000.  That's got a really nice combination of solemnity and insouciance.

Björk, "Unravel"

It's charming that he almost has to use his shtick to get through without breaking down in places.  His cadence gets more florid just when he seems like he might lose it.

I have to put in a plug here for The Mercury Program.  They're on the light side of post-rock, especially as you get later in their catalog, but it's great stuff.  A Data Learn The Language is their best, in my opinion.

Baroness has fairly melodic vocals so if that's your bag you'll have to pick your way through the metal world carefully.  I'll second the Mastodon and Kylesa recommendations.  The Red Fang album I mentioned in my post below is also a good choice in that vein.

"urban chickens"?  Is that some kind of racial code phrase?
