Sometimes their heads come off, sometimes they don't! I have one guy, Orthog Man-Stalker...i never want him to die. First time I killed him was from a distance, I killed him with an arrow headshot, easiest takedown I've had for a captain all game. Was honestly shocked. He came back all bandaged up and said he was…

Well of course Gonzo would keep coming back. You can't keep a Muppet down.

I 'killed' Pushkrim the Shadow 4 or 5 times in the first hour or two of the game. Then he simply stopped showing up.
"Guess he's finally dead", thought I.
Heh heh heh. Well. I was pleasantly surprised during my final mission, and I'll leave it at that.

I don't like giving 'Blink' as a first taste of the show, because tonally its not consistent with how the show usually works.

Full agreement. Blink has a clever plot device (which falls apart if you give it much thought, but in the moment it's neat) but the Angels never did a thing for me as monsters, and the whole episode is just way too impressed with itself (a common problem with Moffat's writing.) By the standards of the revived show's…

The thing about Blink is it is a good scary story, but it is not a great Dr Who story. It could, for example, have almost been an episode of The Twilight Zone. It feels like a standalone story that has been reworked into a Dr Who script.

"Chenza at court, the court of silence!"

"Blink", Doctor Who

This is one of my favorite horror movies. Unlike many of the commenters, I don't like picking apart everything and finding fault. I let myself be scared and enjoy it.

Toast landing jelly-side down does not mean the Devil is near, it just mean that you just wasted a good piece of toast.

Er, you're not supposed to be scared. It's a Sam Raimi horror, in the same vein as the Evil Dead series. It's a horror-comedy.

So, here is the thing. Horror is like porn. What scares you is based on what you are frightens you/turns you on. We each have a "fetish" when it comes to Horror, you just need to identify it correctly. Did not like Insidious, it might be due to the Horror Sub-Genre it is.

Insidious was pretty creepy up until the awful, awful CGI.

The success of that film has much to do with society at the time. America was entrenched in the war in Vietnam, and domestically an older generation was feeling alienated by their children who suddenly seemed to possess a very different set of values than their parents. Ascribing this seeming change in behavior to…

Out of curiosity, have you ever seen Wes Craven's New Nightmare? It does a decent job of putting horror back in the series, at least for one film.

I enjoyed the first half of Insidious. The reasoning behind the haunting was silly, but I'm a sucker for unexpected things in the edges of frames. I love that stuff.

On Insidious I'd argue:

My first Sim finally bit the bullet 4 days ago. He was an Interstellar Smuggler who frequented space from home quite often. He had been resurrected from death once thanks to the pleading from his fiance. The Grim Reaper was kind of a dick afterwards. Alas, he could not fight him off a second time.

+1 for beginning the review with some good ol' chaos theory. Time to watch that one Community episode again.
