What I enjoyed most about The Conjuring 2 was that we had just spent two hours at La-Z-Boy trying to buy a reclining chair, and then we went and saw a horror movie about a haunted reclining chair.

Upvoting because pun.

I would rather watch The Conjuring 3(-D), 4, 5, 666, New Blood, vs. Jason, etc…all the standard sequels and all the diminishing returns they imply…than these spin-off movies.

My God, I made the mistake of watching a bit of that Kelsey Grammar video right before going into a meeting, and through the whole meeting I only had the same thing going over and over through my head. "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha/Laughing in rhythm."

I watch it on Netflix which I think is the uncut version due to the number of F-bombs. I know SyFy was running ads saying "for the uncensored version, go to syfy.com." I assume they edited it for broadcast and wonder if they're going to do the same thing with Blood Drive.

There are "grindhouse" comic books now. It really is just a buzzword that has been completely divorced from its original meaning.

I wonder if the uncut versions will only be available online. I think they do something similar with The Magicians, don't they?

Interesting, I might check that out. I got a great deal out of J.W. Rinzler's "The Making of Star Wars," which struck me as pretty warts-and-all. And the thing that annoys me the most about people griping about Lucas and the writing etc. on the original Star Wars is that he was really hard on himself, too. He disliked…

If you go back and look at what people were saying about Star Wars before it came out, there was a lot of anticipation because it was from the director of American Graffiti. He was a big name already. Even though there was skepticism about Star Wars itself.

The Last House on Dead End Street? Um…good luck, brave souls!

Yeah, I do take issue with the sentence: "But while the vastly superior Raiders radiates with the joy of its making, The Mummy features arguably even more joyful storytelling." Raiders is joy all over.

Exactly. It's all in how it's handled.

Yes, being a monster movie fan, at the time I really resented that the Steven Sommers The Mummy wasn't a proper horror movie, but a second or third rate Indiana Jones movie, and I hated the CG. However, reading all these comments makes me want to give it a second chance, accepting it for what it is. Maybe this…

I guess I'm a fan of unnecessary hideous deaths in movies.

I revisited his film last year and I think it would work best as a 2-part miniseries. It's has great stuff in it, but you could really use a break; it's exhausting. Naomi Watts just glows in it.

I could not believe there was one as recent as 2015! Maybe I don't notice them because the cover art always looks the same?

Director Karl Freund does a great job of establishing the atmosphere. It does hurt that it's an early talkie with no music except the opening titles (I think? Going from memory). And it's basically a remake of Dracula, with Edward Van Sloan playing pretty much the same role. I like it, I'm just saying I need to have…

I suppose Highlander could also qualify.

I thought The Wolfman had its heart in the right place, trying to do an actual Gothic horror film. But that's about it…

Kate Mulgrew looks at the phone…
