"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I was about to say, reading all of that.... Yes, somebody once went nuts in that house and killed his family with a shotgun, but I was pretty sure the Lutz's story had been proven a hoax.

Does anyone besides me remember seeing the "true" sequel book about how the Evil followed the Lutzes to the West Coast and caused such supernatural occurrences as a cloud of flies eating their new house? I know it was the med fly years, but I think something like that just might have made the news if it actually happened.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

If there was an iota of truth in his story, why have none of the subsequent occupants had any problems?

Hey, gates to hell are notoriously finicky, especially when they're located in a charming 3/2 New England fixer-upper.

Compassionately intolerant

Saw Sin City last night with a 14 year old boy. Best way to go for pure entertainment. We both really enjoyed it.

I loved that Frank did a cameo...and actually not bad!

It was also fun to see Tommy Flannigan as one of the Irish dudes. In a movie heavy with prosthetics, it's fantastic to see a working actor with scars. No time in the make-up chair. Make more movies for Tommy!

One question...did I go crazy, or did I see Kevin on the porch...with limbs...as Hartigan was running to the barn after Yellow Bastard?

Coulda sworn it. Got really distracted. And, as a result, sort of phased out on the next scene until the 'destroying weapons' squick.

Over all, we had a great time!

...and NO, it does not make me a pathetic, female Bruce Willis, that the best 'date' I've had in years was with my dog's best friend's boy.

Okay, maybe it really, really does.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Beej, yes you did, which places it earlier than the other segment.

I'ma swim against the tide and say that I hated Clive Owen in this. He just wasn't anything enough to carry the part, IMO. Neither I-am-the-manly-man enough or hi-I'm-nuts enough. It didn't help that he had some of the hardest dialogue to pull off, but it just didn't work for me.

Have we seen this site yet? [link]

I SOOO need the Christian Kooks Collection.

After the preview to Amityville ended, I turned to my sister and said, "So the moral of all movies ever is, never buy a house."

Snerk!

I finished watching Leon, and wow, there was A LOT of stuff I don't remember from the cut version. (Although, it's been 10 years since I've last seen The Professional, so my memory may be faulty.) Like, Mathilda actually talks to Leon about wanting her first time to be with the one she loves.

Yeah, both the romance between her and Leon, and her participation in Leon's hits becomes a much more active thing. One can clearly see why those twenty minutes were taken out of the American release.

The liberal media doesn't want you to know that demonic evil exists in the world, and doesn't want you to buy a house. (And yes, I remember that book, too).

One question...did I go crazy, or did I see

That sequence is out of sequence with the rest of the movie.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

That sequence is out of sequence with the rest of the movie.

Yes. There's also a scene in the bar where it cuts to a reaction shot from Marv when Nancy jumps into Hartigan's arms.

Speaking of seeing things, I swear the cop who Marv kills by splitting his helmet with the hatchet looked just like Dominic Monoghan though it was it was a really quick thing.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

My snarky self wants to say that Elijah Wood got all the best lines

Except for the one movie (House of Sand and Fog, maybe?), whose moral is CHECK YOUR FUCKING MAIL!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

whose moral is CHECK YOUR FUCKING MAIL!

Ah, but she inherited that house. Ben Kingsley bought it from her, and look how things turned out for him.

Which had me wondering was he not guarding the place at that point? I would have figured he'd take out Bruce Willis if he was. Or is this when he was still trying to reform (Rutger said something about him trying to not be like he was or something, I swear), and hadn't graduated to cannabalism yet?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Frank, my wank for that was that he knew that Bruce Willis was there after the yellow guy, who he didn't like, either, so he didn't much mind if he got killed.
