The Lizard makes sense. I mean, you have this really conspicuous amputee Doc Connors walking around in all the movies, you'd think they'd do something with that eventually.

Wings
Not so much something I turn to now when I'm sick, but I fond memories of staying home from school and watching, like, 4 hours straight if Wings on the USA network. Nowadays I either catch up on the monthly comics that I've bought but havent had a chance to read, or I play Smash Bros. Melee

Yup, Thats the American way! No sick and no vacation. Thank you 'right to work' states.

This Would Be Good
If it were the Reservoir Turtles. That shit cracks me up!

Spidey-Obssesed Good Guy Type?
So is vampire Spider-Man as annoying as Emo Spider-Man?

Cirque Du Freak
So does this have John C. Riley in tights doing a high-wire act? Because I'd love to see that!

Oh, every thing is cruel to you. Keeping him chained up in the backyard is cruel, pulling on his tail is cruel, yelling in his ears is cruel, everything is cruel! Well EXCUSE ME if I'm cruel!

Von Trier Should Just Get It Over With
and make a movie about Goatse.

The thing that I find most disagreeable is this whole correlation of red-neck and blue-collar. Most blue-collar people live in the cities, are reasonably educated, and are disproportionally minorities. My father worked on an assembaly line for 30 years, a union man and as blue collar as they come, and has absolutely…

They Should Build A Mighty Ark
And sink it with Jeff Dunham,Carlos Mencia, and those stupid jackasses from Secret Girlfriend. I'd much rather watch two hours of Futurama reruns. And why dont they air KITH reruns anymore? I used to watch that shit every afternoon, like, 5 years ago. Bring that shit back. After all, 30…

The Real Question…
Why was this necessary? I know we ask this a lot whenever we get worthless sequal or another pointless remake, but why was it necessary to remake a cartoon into another cartoon, just with computers? Are they going to remake Snow White with CGI? Now, I know that cartoon-to-live-action thing never…

The fact that Scream was a huge success speaks to the ubiquity of Slasher films and their conventions in American popular culture. Honestly, I dont see the need for a Gateway for the Slasher genre. Its not really an obscure medium or format. Its engrained in our culture. I'm just thinking of a Gateway in terms of some…

Yeah, the line between Horror and Thriller is fairly nebulous, but I would define it more based on the filmmaker's intent. To me, a horror film strives for a sense of dread, foreboding, quite simply fear. I think a 'monster' can come in a supernatural form, or a human form, the monster that exists in the darkest…

Damn, a reference to an old Jim Bruer episode of Pulp Comics! Good show, BB, good show.

Agreed; Scream is a great movie, but is a Next Step, tops, maybe even a Where Not To Start. This has nothing to with the quality if the film, mind you, but its accessability as an entry into the genre. Scream is too knowing and steeped in the genre conventions that its sending up. It assumes that the audience already…

To meld Tom Waits and Dastardly Hippo's comments; I'd say that Alien has a slasher film structure with haunted house aesthetics. Still the greatest horror movie eve made if you ask (feel free to offer your rebuttals) but yeah, if Elm Street doesnt count, then Alien certainly doesnt count.

Yeah, I agree. I appreciate the attempt to come up with a hard diffinition for a 'slasher' film, but in general story structure and use of genre conventions, Elm and Childs Play fall well into the slasher film mold. But, if you really want to exclude anything explicitly supernatural, then theres not much you can do…

Really, Louis de Saint-Just, you "believe" his name was Wonko the Sane? Since thats the heading of this comment, I dont think "belief" really come into play.

@wolfmansRazor- Hey, World War I was pretty fucking bleak, too.

I got lucky; I stoled my copy from the video store I used to work at as it was going out of business. I'd been screwed over by my boss so many times I considered it part of my severance package. Still, best job I've ever had.
