It's their loss if their cognition is so severely dampened they can't understand stories as non-literal, or as allegories, or as something stranger and larger than life.

Nah, @hoodedjustice:disqus they're just messing with you - it's actually called Tales from the Darkside. If any movie is claiming to be Creepshow 3, it's lying to you. Don't trust it.

Isn't it crazy how after the spectacle of hatchet fights, gun battles, and trains going off the rails… the image of a woman gently stepping in the snow (Moon landing imagery, nearly) is so, so compellingly satisfying?

True. As well, Polar Bears are going extinct because of (among other reasons) global warming, so seeing them come back is a good "green" image for the natural world coming back.

I thought the arm freezing part is related to how fast the train is going, and the fact that his bare flesh is exposed to wind burn. It's not enough to freeze an arm solid probably, but…

Great find @toht!

The sound design and the actors screams made it actually pretty creepy for me. Conceptually, I think the blob thing is pretty fucking great too, where it reveals in proper horror fashion what it's capable of with each kill.

But do you recommend ASYLUM?

Stephen King's cameo is great, but has no chance of topping the original. My brother and I say "METEOR SHIT!" to each other regularly.

I think that it's a V/H/S situation, wherein the first is better overall and more consistent, but the 2nd contains the best short out of all of them. I think The Raft is one of the most cool and chilling horror shorts I've ever seen, and it's the best out of all the Creepshow movies (or Tales from the Darkside movie,…

I'm of the mind that I really don't care if it's true to the adaptation, because The Raft is one of the most effective, chilling horror shorts I've ever seen.

I'm still calling showrunners who work in gay characters in an organic, inoffensive way "brave" and you can't stop me, Jay See!

And I could name a few people who were turned off by that and other depictions of gay sex in shows. Anecdotal. And what of the rest of my argument? I'm fairly certain the idea of "genre subjects" being niche-only is fairly outdated.

You poor things. I'll learn from your mistakes, and heed your warnings.

I'm of two minds. For one, I'm upset at the lack of representation of LGBT characters IN GENERAL in television, and would like to see them worked in an organic, non-pandering way (okay, I guess pandering is better than nothing).

I think you underestimate how many people watch "weird shows" just because they're good, or the culture dictates that they're important. As well, people are much more open to weird niche programs if some other factors exist to make them welcoming. Funny characters. Recognizable faces. Understandable, traditional…

I'm legitimately curious how disappointed Rodriguez must have been to meet his idol, give him a chance to take true (perhaps unprecedented?) creative power in an adaptation of his work, and see him just totally waste the potential. Or, at least, I'm curious how their working relationship has been and if they're at all…

Because you're sacrificing viewers, thus taking on a risk. It's a cliché but it's a positive one.

Genitals are the spice of life!

A pacifier!
