One question, was The Other on the list of scary films?
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.

That character name doesn't ring a bell. Was he in the book Breaking Dawn?
yeah, he was, Laga. one of the many who showed up to "fight" the Volturi.
One question, was The Other on the list of scary films?
No, but I think The Others was.
Any thoughts on Red? I mean Dame Hellen Mirren as a machine gun wielding bad-ass? The trailer may have won me over there. And Warren Ellis is somehow connected?
Warren Ellis wrote the comic it's based on.
They showed the trailers for Red and The Expendables back to back at Inception. My gut responses were whee! and uggh, in that order.
No, but I think The Others was.
Huh, well, for some reason I was remembering The Other today and it was one of the scariest movies I saw when I was young.
I am excited about Red! It appears to be very different from the comic but the comic was basically just a fun bit of business and there is nothing in particular about it that I think needs to be held sacred. Ellis talked about the adaptation a bit here: [link] and concluded
I mean, if you don’t want to see a film with Helen Mirren with a sniper rifle, I’m not sure I want to know you.
(I am mildly excited about The Expendables but I think it is the kind of mild excitement that translates to me getting it from Netflix a year from now. Although: Statham. It may hinge on whether or not reviews indicate it reaches Doomsday levels of insanity.)
