I’d largely make a list like Moth3r’s. There a lot of great scares in there.

I would probably drop The Orphanage and/or The Others as you get the same kind of gentle scare from The Devil’s Backbone.
I also don’t find The Conjuring that scary for something similar but more weird and unnerving I would watch either the under rated second Amityville movie or Burnt Offerings or Let’s Scare Jessica to Death
I would add more Asian Horror like A Tale of Two Sisters or Spider Forest.
I would probably add Old Dark House in because it’s Universal but strange.
I would also make room for REC (the first one) because it’s the only found footage film that really scared me, it’s a much more satisfying film than Blair Witch.
Plague of Zombies, Mask of Satan and Masque of the Red Death are visually astonishing too. I’m not sure what I would drop to make room for those though.
And any list that doesn’t have Nosferatu needs Nosferatu in it.
The Haunting (not the remake) and The Innocents are also great Halloween films full of atmosphere. The list needs more Val Lewton. Everyone goes for Cat People I prefer The Seventh Victim but Karloff is amazing in The Body Snatcher or Bedlam you can’t go wrong with anything associated with him.

Over this period the long lost cut of Exorcist III will be finally coming to home cinema so that will hopefully still be making me jump at the right moment.

I had a weird dream that I was watching a UK television series with plots along the lines of the film version of American Psycho and the television show Hannibal but made with the grotesque comedic tone of Hot Fuzz or Midsomer Murders. It starred John Barrowman (of all people) playing a user of people who casually tortures them and kills and steals their money and Celia Imrie played the mother of one of his victims and the chief thorn in his side. Her character was the leader of a group of people hounding the Barrowman character but she was just as nasty. I was a bit disappointed to find out the show wasn’t real as I wanted to watch more of it. Despite not being a big Barrowman fan.
He was really good in this show… in my head.

He sounds very much like my friend who had the stroke. He was like that for the first few weeks. If you keep asking him questions and give him a few hints now and then he will improve. If he ever had creative interests Like drawing getting him some pencils and a large pad will help. Even if it’s just making marks on a page. It gets hum to manipulate something. Ask him what food he likes. I got some pre-cut apple segments and shared then with my pal and it was like he had never eaten apple before. The look of surprise and delight. I hope your dad recovers well.

I’ve started watching Smallville as I found the DVD sets for the first nine seasons for a pound a pop in a charity shop.

Watched the first disc.

It’s tonally more grim and slower paced than I expected.
I’m hoping the monster of the week thing will tone down. Lex is a very interesting character.

The soundtrack is very intrusive though.

Don’t analyse it too much. Just take advantage to the boon to do other things which you have been wanting to do for a while but haven’t been as able to do.

Yes I remember seeing that at the double bill. I also remember people assuming that ESB was Star Wars because they forgot that they started the same way.

Wow, they weren’t even trying.

What are you talking about? THX in jokes have been going on since before Star Wars even. It’s been a Lucasfilm tradition.

Looks Nubian.

We recently discovered they have an entry for arthritis too.

In the UK ESB was a U.

You could scope the face of Mark onto the baby’s head but it would be a lot of work for very little payoff.

Relieved to discover this thread isn’t another collection of photos of Will Smith swallowing rope.

I’m okay about it now it was nearly four decades ago 😄

Relieved to discover this thread isn’t another collection of photos of John Travolta doing the Italian Job.

Julian LeStrange says :
I just went to www.thebeatles.com to exclusively reveal that the fab four have split up.

Wouldn’t FE allow them as reconstructions?
I would be very interested in having them for future home presentations. I still have the programme and the collector’s edition my dad paid for in 1977.
If only there was a way of getting those inverted pyramid shaped drinks cartons and mint choc ices.

It’s a tricky balance between science and fantasy the competition occasionally stumbled on. I love The Black Hole, but even I cringe when they’re outside the Cygnus without so much as an oxygen mask in sight. 😉

Hardly anyone notices Ripley dangling from ladder with an alien queen hanging from her ankle while the whole hanger of the Sulaco decompresses and the door is wide open to freezing space and all the perils of radiation etc. They don’t worry that we can hear the queen, Ripley, Bishop and Newt screaming despite the tagline of the first movie either.

There is a possibility of a Artoo/Threepio cameo… even a Leia cameo right at the very end of the piece.
I am reminded of the Skyhook sequence in the Radio drama.
You may get the glimpse of a white robe and a few out of focus droids as the contents of the tapes are transmitted ship to ship.

How the fuck is my pizza supposed to cook properly in this stupid Euromaid oven which has the element at the top?? I’ve tried putting it right down the bottom, tried no tray, tried oil… I think I’m going to have to cook the underside of the base prior to making the damn pizza in future.

Are you sure that’s not a grill or a convection oven?

Also, why is the Death Star up-side-down in this shot?

There is no upside down in space. It’s all three-dimensional, remember? 😛

Sure, but I still think it’s weird that they choose to show it from that orientation. Also doesn’t that technically mean that we’re seeing the planet with the north pole facing down (relatively speaking)?
It’s a neat shot anyway, it just struck me as kinda odd.

It’s hard to fire down when your gun is pointing up… probably.
