Will you be buying a McLaren, sir?

And politics… Never forget the politics…

That's just what they want you to think, when it was really Michael Bay pulling the strings!

Well, I do recall reading a pretty gripping NY Times account of a couple of window washers who were stuck in one of the elevators that day, and their last minute escape. It didn't seem to involve much emoting, soul-searching, or class conflict — they were mostly just working on getting out.

Horror is about your worst fears coming true, be they rational or irrational. If whatever's threatening you is somehow "problematic", I think that potentially just raises more interesting conflicts and complexity.

I'd been unaware of that. Hard to say whether I'd consider that more likely the work of an outside fur-ophobe or some jackass furry ostracized from the community.

And a sad, broken man.

Good points, though mimes are pretty much all evil, cinematic villain material.

Go back and watch her in the '80s remake of The Blob and remember when the world was full of possibilities.

Fun fact — The full color spectrum we perceive today actually existed, and was visible to humans, even as far back as the 1920s.

I could see Michael Haneke giving this a B-, but not our Katie.

I haven't really seen more than clips from either film, but at a little regional amusement park years ago the resident song and dance troupe did an unexpurgated performance of "Greased Lightning" that I found kind of jaw-dropping, especially in the context, but all the church-going, salt-of-the-earth families in the…

Coolidge actually did a lot of dog card game paintings, as well as some others of dogs playing pool, or football, or in court.

A good friend of mine back when it first came out not only unsuccessfully tried to sell us all on its virtues, but recognized Pfeiffer as a nascent star as well. So I don't think it would necessarily have ruined her future work for you.

Now I'm imagining Kermit's off-stage voice shifting to sound like some old Jewish guy, like Eddie Murphy's Gumby. "Da 'Hi-ho' ting? Dats all an act! Who da hell says 'Hi-ho'?"

I'd buy most any movie poster with that pull quote on it. Even better if it's something like My Dinner with Andre.

"Jane Eyre with voodoo and zombies" is a pretty perfect extension, since Rochester's wife is stated in the novel to be of Creole ancestry, and her insanity described (in amusingly matter-of-factly racist fashion bordering on the Lovecraftian) as a natural consequence of that background.

That really stands as the quintessence of "horror movie from the perspective of someone who doesn't 'get' horror movies".

That's kind of the anthropological explanation, as detailed in Wade Davis' The Serpent and the Rainbow, and the mind control aspect turns up in some films like White Zombie, but generally I think they were usually thought of as animated corpses.

And Russo apparently wrote a novel-sequel to the screenplay he wrote with Romero, under the Return title, which was the impetus for the movie, though I think Dan O'Bannon invented the "Brains" angle.
