"Release the Kraken!"

That's your opinion backed up by nothing.

Using darkness and shadows to hide the seems and glaring shortcomings of a rubber suit has always been a strength for horror movies, just as the fog effect in the original Silent Hill helped to hide the games poor rendering but added to the overall atmosphere.

It's also a matter of overuse: Aliens showed when they should have hinted. In Alien we got glimpses, which heightened the sensation of dealing with the unknown, whereas in Aliens we see so much of them it might as well have been an animatronic Theme Park ride. Cameron isn't the most subtle of directors.

He really nailed the dark alter ego. That movie scared the hell out of me when I was younger. I consider it one of the better King movies, and one of Romero's last good films.

He's a Phantom. Cut the guy some slack. He's TERRIBLE with women.

I kept waiting for the farmer to explain why the pig has three legs, but it never happened. :(

That's my list as well. Minority Report bugs me for being so slick and shiny; two things a PKD world should not be.

That's a hypothesis at best. No, what we're seeing is how shameless the Republicans are. They will literally sink as low as possible to besmirch an enemy. This is the same group that attacked her right after she had a stroke.

Wah wah waaaaaaaaaaaaah

The movie seemed to try and balance the artiness of Blade Runner with the pulpy action of Total Recall, but fell just short of each. Still one of the better PKD adaptions out there; far more enjoyable than Minority Report, as far as I'm concerned.

So one felt the pressure to succeed and failed, whereas the other had no expectations and succeeded. Interesting.

I think it boggles the mind that he could write that much on the same subject, not why he wrote so much on the same subject.

Honestly, the mention that this was a Reagan movie was reason enough for me to avoid it.

Nothing wrong with that, nothing at all.

My older sister was in high school during the late '80s, and loved that stuff, among other sundries from then. And my younger sister for a long time did a similar eye makeup. And I like her stuff. How can one not?

Hell, goth and punk would be so much less without her. She's earned her stripes and then some.

That's one of the reasons I love the AV Club writers: A willingness to disagree with each other.

I think there's a market for that as a kid's picture book.

And that's such a fallacy when people make these episodes out like they're slow or "not moving plot." They're tense, tautly drawn moments, full of character insights. What happened to people enjoying potboiler moments? I'll take Fly with it's deeply obsessive fever dream tone over a scene with guns a blazing anytime.
