Started with McFarlane era Spiderman, and then became really hooked when someone loaned me their copies of Days of Future Past (Dark Phoenix ruled) and the initial John Byrne run on Fantastic Four.

Bone is also a good one for skeptics and newbies.

Word on the grief aspect of Brain Dead/Dead Alive, Mik.

Daddy would you like some sausages?

not pissed, just pedantic.

I heard that you were feeling ill.

Can't seem to create a new thread, so I'll leave it here: Could another Movies Too Painful To Watch Twice article be forthcoming? I'd nominate Spanking The Monkey, despite the fact that the laughs become richer once you know where the film is going.

I'll take the blame for bringing up EWS, MPBC, my bad. And, danr, not to get all pedantic, but "rebuke," really? Strong word for what's going on there.

Rockin' good news, thanks guys.

My last comment on King Kong, I swear: It's Jackson's Eyes Wide Shut, in that it was mostly maligned upon release, but ten years down the line it'll be rediscovered as a hidden masterpiece by many.

I agree, Black Bolt, but I don't know if Forgotten Silver is out as a Region 1 DVD yet.

re: King Kong - Long, yes, but I don't know that there's a wasted frame in that movie. I'm probably alone in that thought.

The whole thing left me wrenched, and the fact that young Melanie Lynskey is a ringer for my youngest sister gave the movie an extra, unexpected whallop.

Yes, but is it Fire Proof? I would say not.

Fair enough, Signal30, and I didn't mean that to sound like I was calling you out; just not a big believer in emoticons or irony quotes.

In other words, Kubrick is overrated, is that it, S30?

Wasn't That Sobieski In The Costume Shop?
I saw this film in the theater as many times as I could commit to the running time, and not only did I find it hauntingly beautiful and affecting (a Kubrickian love note to the Mrs.), but also far funnier than it is given any credit for. Some of the stuff with Pollack for…

I wasn't that fond of The Shining at first, but now find that it's one of the few movies that gets scarier on repeated viewings…Besides the documentary attached in the DVD is a must see.

My suggestion would be to start with the Hollywood remake of Pennies From Heaven, then go to the BBC's Singing Detective, and from there, branch out whichever way the wind blows.

That Interview…
…may have been the same one included in the Singing Detective VHS box set, which were recorded before Karaoke and Cold Lazarus hit the screen…At least it sounds like the one.
