Cringe.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Just rewatched the 1994 Alec Baldwin Shadow movie. Still as deliciously surreal and awesome as it was all those years ago.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

13 Hours was pretty fucking good
Hard to believe Michael Bay directed it

Recently purchased 2001: A Space Odyssey and The 7th Voyage Of Sinbad.

The former I haven't seen in over 15 years, I remember liking it but maybe not quite having the patience to truly appreciate it.
Considering these days my very favourite films are titles like The Ten Commandments, Ben-Hur and the like I think I can now give it the chance it deserves.

Arthur C. Clarke is a great writer to boot.

The Invitation - excellent

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Arthur C. Clarke is a great writer to boot.

He is shit.

 

[CiG]

He is the shit.

Agreed.

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

The 7th Voyage Of Sinbad.

Never seen that, but I went to bed last night watching The Golden Voyage of Sinbad. I've got to re-watch this when I get the chance.

That's a good one too. I'm a massive fan of Ray's work.

 

[Internally Deformed]

Greatest ever film, period.

 

[CiG]

I love the pencil snapping scene, so fucking funny. I miss really good horror with comedy elements.

 

[Internally Deformed]

Yeah. The last decent horror comedy I can remember seeing was Slither.

 

[CiG]

That's the same for me too, that movie fucking ruled. Did you see Undead, the Australian zombie comedy?

Actually I need to find out whether the new Tremors sucks balls or not, it still has Burt in it so I'm curious.

 

[Internally Deformed]

Nah, need to check it out. I probably won't like it though - zombie movies for me only work if they're treated with deadly seriousness. There's nothing funny about zombies, they'll eat your fucking brains.

 

[CiG]

Bullshit, zombies are inherently funny!

Return Of The Living Dead is one of the best examples, besides in many ways The Re-Animator is a zombie film.

 

[Internally Deformed]

The Re-Animator is a zombie film.

Well yeah I guess, kinda. Zombie film says to me post-apocalyptic survival scenario though. But yeah Return of the Living Dead was awesome.

Still nothing has chilled my blood like the utterly humourless 28 Days Later did the first time I saw it.

 

[CiG]

Post-apocalyptic zombie films are very far and few between though. The Walking Dead has done a lot to completely ruin that genre vehicle in my opinion.

28 Days Later is chilling though, I agree 100%.

 

[Internally Deformed]

Yeah, I think zombies are suffering a lot from overexposure. When films like this start getting made, it's a clear sign they ought to give it a break for a while:

 

[CiG]

Hahaha. That film is a massive pile of shit.

Reminds me of the European film Night Of The Living Dorks, not bad but definitely the beginning of stupid teen zombie cinema.

 

[dorian gray]

^the above film indicated the end of zombies as I know it. Someone's always got to ruin things. To be fair, the ultimate blame belongs to the Walking Dead television soap opera.
