I'm trying to think of ideas from the non-horror route, and the inclusion of Flight up above got me thinking of Robert Zemeckis, and then I remembered this:

For me, it's the scene when they're using the camcorder's night vision function. We're basically just talking about a jump-scare, but as far as jump-scares go, that one had be leaping to the ceiling.

The lake scene is the one that still makes me anxious and squeamish, and I've seen Zodiac many times now, as it's become one of my favorites.

Exactly. This was a nice touch for Wyle's character and his relationship to Donnie, I thought. He can take interest in the oddball genius student, teach him about Stephen Hawking and stuff, but he can only go so far with his guidance before he has to frankly, and kind of sadly, say, "Sorry, we can't keep talking about…

I don't know. Gran Turino has it's moments, but it feels like one of those movies that thinks it's really great but doesn't actually do anything to earn it.

I'm with @LurkyMcLurkerson:disqus up above. I will never stop defending Hook from the people who inexplicably treat it as the hemorrhoid of Spielberg's career.

The Shining drive-in scene in Twister was the first thing I thought of too, that's great.

They were a big part of my middle school soundtrack, for sure. This album especially. I'm listening to "Anthem Part 2" on youtube as I write this - hell, how could this stuff not be gold to a moody twelve-year-old?

Ah, that's it. Much obliged.

See, I've only read the uncut version of The Stand - twice, for that matter. It's the only version I've spent time with and loved, warts and all. Although a part of me is certainly curious to pick up the original, edited version, I can't imagine it would feel like the whole story to me.

Ugh, apologies all around, but can you or someone else give me a refresher on The Final Page and how it ends? That was Barney's proposal to Robin, right? I definitely remember that, what with that whole brilliant montage of Barney carrying out "The Robin." But where does that episode end up with Ted?

I've enjoyed her short stories as well (although I've only read Maladies and not Unaccustomed Earth), but I definitely disagree with you about The Namesake. I get glassy eyed just thinking about that book.

Yikes, that's rough. I'm a fan of her work, so the optimist in me wants to say that maybe her face presented bad vibes that inaccurately reflected what she was genuinely thinking…having sad that, there's really no way to come away from your story and not feel shitty. I'm sorry you had a bad experience.

Huh. Ted is kind of a dick, ain't he?

Suppose Ted goes through all that trouble to get the locket not to offer one last grand gesture to Robin, but to offer one last grand gesture to Robin and Barney?

Her interactions with Ted seem to be dynamite, but what really sold me came earlier, with the whole Sumbitch Cookie exchange with Lily. Going from that scene on the train, it seems like the show-runners want to invest as much time with The Mother and the friends as they do with The Mother and Ted, which is definitely…

And thank you!

Fixed. Let's all keep our heads.

You've got bigger fish to fry, Schmidtty. Why don't you nut up and make a choice already?

Jar.
