clive barker's new book?

[dreaming neon darkspot]

they showed that midnight meat train trailer when i saw rambo, as soon as mr deep voice said the title the whole theater was laughing like it was punchline of the year. there were a lot of stoned lookin youngsters in there though.

yeah, i can see why...

*shrugs* considering i've already read the story and know the ending i'm not terribly enthusiastic about that movie, but it's good to know Clive Barker's still in the horror game.

there are better stories from books of blood to adapt into films, imo. "sex, death, and starshine," "dread," or "jaqueline ess" maybe ... or "revelations," which is probobly my favorite short story of his. maybe if they were turned into an anthology film instead of padded out for feature films like it looked like this one was...

I loved In the Hills, the Cities...being bent and broken as part of a giant man-made-of-men would be one of the worst ways to die ever, and the citizens of the towns willingly subjected themselves to it. The gay dudes sucking each other off in the middle of a Jugoslav farm didn't really factor into the equation, but what the hell, Barker's got to put his ideas of romance in there at some point, I guess.

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

yeah, since i really don't know anything about russian history i couldn't really get into that one and stopped reading after the gay sex in the meadow.

"skins of the fathers" - THAT should be made into a full-length movie. soo much potential for that.

 

[Lunar Still]

Ignoring the fact that Jugoslavia is not the same thing as Russia, Skins of the Fathers would make a pretty br00tal movie, I suppose.

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

stfu, i read it a while ago and all i remember was a lot of stuff i didn't understand.

kinda like math and social studies textbooks. and the directions on easy mac boxes.

 

[wickedsensation]

Yes!

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

 

[wickedsensation]

No.

Dreaming Neon Darkspot, you need to watch Rawhead Rex, and when you do, OH, prepare to be dazzled.

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

one day...

 

[wickedsensation]

Make sure you let me know.

But I just don't know what I'll do if you don't like it. Hode it up.

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

haven't read the story yet, either. does it not matter if i wind up reading it before i watch the movie, would anything be spoiled or does it not matter?

 

[wickedsensation]

You should read the movie while watching the book.

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

and then i will transcend everything!

 

[wickedsensation]

Or so you hope. Are you OBESE? You cannot transcend if you are OBESE. There just isn't enough leverage in the space-time continuum.

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

if i was obese, i could BE the space-time continuum...

 

[wickedsensation]

And yer pussy would be like a black hole. Ice Pussy.

 

[El Stormo]

Clive Barker's made some great things, but his constant meat-hook fetishism gets dull after a while.

 

[Chromatose]

I noticed Midnight Meat Train is going straight to the dollar theater here on Friday and not playing anywhere else. hahaha this can't be good.

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

Haha I get off work at 6 on Friday. WE'RE GONNA GO SEE IT.

 

[Chromatose]
