My stepfather pretty much nailed this topic with an off-comment years ago:

Sure you don't want to Chang it? After all, once is has been Dean, it can't be unDean.

Ok. Don't care.

Did they even consider it, or did they refuse right off the bat?

Such a cross to bear

Yeah, he won't go back for a second helsing.

Wait... why is Jos(s) the stubborn one again if he announced it first? Pietro and Wanda WERE Avengers first.

Yeah, I was thinking of Cronenberg as someone who's pretty consistent. Culturally we like to give creative credit to particular people, despite film being so collaborative and not really knowing what anyone's roles were (and specific roles having varying levels of control depending on the decade, the budget, etc.).

The thing of it is, though, as bad as Ghosts of Mars is, it's still unmistakably a Carpenter film, whereas Argento's recent work doesn't even resemble his classic movies. But really, all of those directors have been pretty uneven over the years. I did like Craven's Red Eye though.

but sadly it appears the scariest thing about a lot of horror directors is their later careers.

I refuse to believe that the director of some of the greatest horror films ever — Suspiria, Opera, Phenomena — could ever make a movie as awful as Dracula 3D.

I'd say The Thing has managed to maintain its scariness pretty well on rewatch, because the effects are all make up and goo, not CGI, the progression of characters that are replaced is kept deliberately hazy, and its ending is a bit ambiguous. But it is a hard thing to be scary multiple times.... the movie has to be…

Nothing wrong with you. That movie does a great job with suspense, IMO.

This movie, despite how many times I've seen it still makes me tense. I'm embarrassed because most ten year olds handle this movie better than I can.

So eventually, when the X-men movies do crossover with the other Marvel movies in a dimension/alternate reality-hopping storyline, these two characters will meet and merge into a four armed, four legged, super fast freak.

Agreed. Godzilla really seems like he should be more of a force than a character.

I love the idea of returning to the style of the original movie where Godzilla was more like a natural disaster than the lead in a monster movie. I love to see how they take that idea and develop it and make it relevant to today. I shouldn't be too hard as the world has a number of recent, epically bad natural…
