Polterigiest is don't buy a house built on an Indian burial ground.
Saw this last night, for the first time in years. It wasn't an Indian burial ground so much as just a normal burial ground but, basically, yeah.
Also, I thought the movie primarily sucked. Stephen Spielberg writes way too many speeches in his movies, and makes far too much use of manipulative music. Sometimes that works okay, like in E.T., but in a horror movie? It's a distraction.
That said, the last 20 minutes were completely awesome. It was like we had a 2 hour buildup for 20 minutes of actual scary movie.
Madchen Amick was also in the horribly underrated and very frustratingly short-lived new Fantasy Island series, with Malcom MacDowell.
I thought I was the only person alive who had ever even watched that show. And I always thought that Shelly and Bobby on Twin Peaks were the cutest couple.
Sin City in the Galaxy of Fame. Merciful Zeus, I love FameTracker.
There's no Clive. I guess he's too cool to track?
Elijah's was my favorite:
Hi, I'm Elijah Wood. Go ahead. Call me Frodo now. No, seriously, I want you to. Come on. I just had my nails done."
"Hi, I'm Nicky Katt. Yeah, the guy who gets shot with the arrow. Yeah, the funniest thing in the movie. Once again, I stroll in and casually steal a film. And once again, no one recognizes me, so that the one thing everyone still remembers me from is Boston freaking Public."
I love Nicky Katt. He was totally the best part of the movie.
I actually remember him most from The Limey.
And then from Boston freaking Public.
I know Nicky Katt from
Dazed and Confused
and from meeting him as a friend of a friend at the Farmer's Market. The Bf spotted him and said--"Hey, that's Nicky Katt. He's a friend of Randy." BF called Randy and said "Guess who I'm sitting near?" Randy then called Nicky and told him to go meet the guy waving at him from two tables away. It was really funny and LAish. He was very nice--he and the BF talked motorcycles and cars for quite a while.
Ok, scary(ish) movie title needed. I think it's something like Gate oto Hell or something with Gate. Anyway, basically, a hellmouth opens up in thsi backyard and these teeny little evil demon guys, that you're totally supposed to be afraid but aren't cause-so cute, come running out and terrorize kids.
The Gate
! I love that movie. I mean, the little kid at the end kills the dinosaur thing with a toy rocket of love.
