LL Cool J
I don't have time to go proofing 400+ comments for a previous mention of the man. If someone else recommended LL Cool J's self-help Twitter feed already, I merely agree: he thinks he's Gandhi.

There's another rooster in the hen house.
I think all the actors are operating on personal levels of hysterical. I can't tell if the direction is to act as you would if you were in this crisis, and everyone is performing on some scale of scared and anxious, or if it's just plain bad acting. But every episode has had some moment of overindulged hysterics from…
I was actually happy to have Norman Reedus around as well and look forward to him being a little John Lockian in the hunting department. If you want to chain anyone to a roof for death though, do it to Ed.
@ i and 1:
I've said this to Noel and Scott: I hate the score to SUSPIRIA. It's distracting on such an obnoxious level that I muted parts of the movie because it took me too far out of the film rather than put me in it.
Cabrini-Green doesn't look like that anymore. But part of the effect of CANDYMAN is the imagery in Cabrini-Green. Once things move to the Gold Coast, a huge dude with a hook just looks out of place.
It's the prequel to THE ROAD if THE ROAD was about zombies killing off the population rather than some unknown destructor; it seems too early in the zombie apocalypse for shit to get as real as it was in THE ROAD. Once WALKING DEAD starts showing houses taken over by the environment and people eating canned peaches…
If anyone remembers watching 28 DAYS LATER, we ought not ask these kinds of questions.
This tops Lost for me. It also replaces Lost. Thank god. What would I do without appointment genre TV each week?
I think I lump SHAUN OF THE DEAD and SLITHER into comedy territory too automatically for some people. I have way too much fun with those to consider them OF the horror genre.
@rsh412:
Although Noel went there, I hadn't absolutely placed ANTICHRIST as a horror movie. But now that I reflect upon my experience seeing it, holy fuck it's a horror film. I mean, it deconstructs modern horror that seems rooted in cheap "gotcha" scares that merely thrill, and delves into the nature of "horror" and the…
Caught this the other night for the first time. Bit too slow and tonally uncertain of itself, but I'm damn excited to see David Tennant in the remake.
CANDYMAN scared the shit out of me for the first 25 minutes. Then he finally appeared and I started laughing when he got sucked out the window.
If we're talking last ten years, forgot to mention 28 DAYS LATER for starting up the zombie fanaticism.
New—GOOD—horror films
Agreed on DESCENT and HOUSE OF THE DEVIL. Unfortunately, I feel like you add on LET THE RIGHT ONE IN, THE ORPHANAGE, maybe THE STRANGERS depending on who you talk to, and the list is complete. Nothing more to add.
I'm reading this interview now because I failed to watch more than 25 minutes of CANDYMAN at 1am without getting seriously freaked out. Reminding myself it's all ACTING still not helping. Haven't been this spooked by a movie in a while. I blame living in Chicago on this occasion.
He wasn't a terrible teacher. Re-read Half-Blood Prince for the classes with Slughorn, who was a terrible teacher. Severus was brilliant enough to uncover the problems with the textbooks and correct the mistakes for his own lesson plans, which always appeared on the board. Harry was an average student because he let…
Gaius Baltar. Never liked him. But that didn't stop me watching BSG. Christ, I'm Starbuck for Halloween. But still, Baltar was a git.
