Loving the comparison, although if you've not seen the arc, it probably reads like "WTF? He picks up a phone..." But after a few times you start hoping for Kay to be the Big Damn Heroine she is and handle it for the kid.
I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

Definitely. The pacing in Alien was superb. Wasn't it a Ridley Scott movie? 'Cause that's semi-demi-ironic, at least.
Red Eye was a recent suspense movie that had excellent, tight pacing.

Yeah, I thought Alien was a really good movie. But I knew too much before seeing it (from Aliens, from hearing about it and stuff) to be really scary.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yeah, I thought it was pretty competently done. Nothing superb, but entertaining and well made.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Know what isn't on that list?
The Cutting Edge 2.
That was damned scary.

Hey, if we're going beyond the traditional definition of horror movies there's one in wide release right now that includes a Terry Bradshaw nude scene.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Why would anyone do that? Were they trying to be mean?

I have no idea. Particularly since they leaked word about it before opening weekend. That CAN'T have helped any at the box office.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I don't know -- when was it filmed? Because if it's a 30-year-old movie that's just now seeing the light of day....
Hey, I tried.

Red Eye was a recent suspense movie that had excellent, tight pacing.
I gave that movie points for creative use of a ballpoint pen and a field hockey stick. I took away points for the villain being about 11 inches tall. But yeah, for what it was (illogic abounding), it was pretty fun.
I don't watch horror movies to be scared, so all of those horror movie lists always skew wrong for me.
