Gris, Seanan says it's horror too. And she knows horror.
Or maybe you could just be Buffy, he'll see your amazing heart, and he'll fall in love with you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Um.
I guess.

It's horror in the sense of characters hiding from the aliens, esp. the long scene in the basement with Tim Robbins.
I don't think that's a spoiler as it's very vague, but I whitefonted just in case.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I also saw someone describing it more as horror than straight sci-fi.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
I would also agree that it's much more horror sci-fi. There were some parts where I suddenly felt like I was in a zombie movie. Some parts were genuinely freaksome.
don't want to spoil the mood for people that are excited...

move out and draw fire
Poltergeist is still a pretty scary movie, so it's hopeful that SS can bring the horror again.
In lieu of real posters or anything they put up paintings of the one-sheets here. Tom Cruise looks freaking insane. I think it was a purposeful decision by the artist.

Hey. New board.
Gris, Seanan says it's horror too. And she knows horror.
Heh. That's who I mostly heard it from, actually. And the friend of hers who saw it with her.
I hated most of Poltergeist. Last 20 minutes were great, though.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I had thought it was a disaster movie.

No, he really IS insane.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
No, he really IS insane.
Tuesday night's TDS had Lewis Black talking about TC. At the end, Black shoed a clip of TC saying "And I don't believe there is any such thing as a chemical imbalance". Black then ended the segment by saying, "Oh Yeah? What do you call what you are going through RIGHT NOW?".
It made me laugh.
