Scrappy's right, Melanie's character isn't a free spirit who redeems uptight guy. It's revealed that they're not opposites but, in fact, both pretty similar. Prone to lying and putting on false personae to deal with a painful past. They're more like people who get together in AA.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Liota bringing the crazy later is nice, but I'd say just leave the thing half-watched. Your quality of life won't be reduced by missing the end.
Last night I watched Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments (Which was really more scariest movies, as they seemed to rank by whole films rather than specific scenes). #4 was Psycho and #3 was The Exorcist, whereas second and first place were taken by Alien and Jaws, respectively.
Does that seem right to you?

I was watching Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments this afternoon. Lance Henriksen was commenting on Near Dark, and I just have to say that Lance Henriksen with a good-sized gold earring just seems very wrong to me. And I'd forgotten that Terry O'Quinn (now of Lost) was The Stepfather.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
And I'd forgotten that Terry O'Quinn (now of Lost) was The Stepfather.
I had not. I think I saw that movie a long time ago. It was probably the first role I saw him in. There were sequels, I think, but I don't remember whether he was in it. Probably not, since he most likely died at the--oh, like that ever stopped anyone.

Does anyone know if Clive Barker is ill? He looked terrible and his voice went beyond flu-hoarse into the range I associate with people who have throat cancer.

I read an interview with him a short while back in which the interviewer mentioned how unnaturally gravelly his voice was. She eventually gathered the courage to ask about it, and apparently it's just his normal voice.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Prone to lying and putting on false personae to deal with a painful past.
That's pretty much what I figured. Will send back with little regret. Doesn't seem to be my thing.

Hey. New board.
Hmmm. Just read EW's 20 scariest movies. Movies on the list that I haven't seen are The Poltergeist, The Omen, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Rosemary's Baby, The Thing (John Carpenter verision), The Evil Dead, An American Werewolf in London, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, Lost Highway, and The Hitcher. Exactly half of them. Should I Netflix them all?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Nova, I'll recommend Rosemary's Baby, unless you're pregnant or expect to be so soon.
But then, you're male, correct? Then it's a good guide what not to do if your SO becomes pregnant.
