how old do you think bears are?...
Alien for me, most definitely. Psycho was a bit before my time, I still haven't seen it "properly". The parts I did see just didn't do anything for me.. and the music was kind of annoying more than...
Yeah, I guess so. I like how it went into detail on the psychological aspects.. now that I think about it, it seems this book might have influenced movies such as Session 9 (vivid description of...
I voted rarely..
It's been a long time since I actually did re-read a book, but I can see myself re-reading a few special books in the future. Atlas Shrugged, some DT books, maybe LoTR. Recently...
Surprised you thought it was so pointless! The first half (autobiography part) was pretty interesting and the second half had a few good quotes and concepts. Though most I already felt I knew from my...
I'm still reading through The Exorcist (only do so at night), its definitely scary - though I can't decide if its scary because I saw the movie and is helping with the imagery or because the book is...
Wow, I did not even realize The Exorcist was a book.. That's my stupid thing of the day out of the way.. I'll add it to my reading list after The Stand (just finished Pet Semetary).[/QUOTE]

Me too - Sixth Sense is pretty poor on subsequent viewings.. Definitely The Exorcist for me. While I liked Evil Dead II, it doesn't really come across as a typical horror movie. Evil Dead remake...
I don't mind western/fantasy/sci-fi/post apocalyptic genres, so I was expecting something a little more... less dull, at least.. from the first DT book. I remember endless streams of dialogue between...
The problem with movie adaptations (good or bad), is that I always imagine the actors when thinking of the book. It happened when I read The Road and saw the movie straight after.. now I can't tell...
A few less common ones I enjoyed recently (i.e. movies I had to track down before just seeing them on TV or whatever)..
Two old school slasher movies featuring the great work of Tom Savini..
The...
Agreed. It's one of the "way too slowly paced" movies I really enjoyed. It's almost like it gives you time to think about what's going on, the repercussions for humanity and so on. And it's all done...
Thanks! Yes, I see what you mean. I actually wasn't 100% sure which was scarier, though reading both at night can give one dreams... I liked Phantoms as it inspired a lot of the game "Silent Hill"...
Not sure exactly what you mean here. I would think that if a two movie format were employed then a "Modern" set-up for the first encounter flash-back in the first movie and the second movie dedicated...
It seems to be working now after going past post count 11. Though I'll PM you if it comes back again..
Thanks! Good to be part of a well-read community :)
