'The Killer In Me'
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.
I saw that yesterday myself, P-C. I really enjoyed the hell out of it. I probably liked Hot Fuzz better, but it's close on with Sean of the Dead for me (along with Paul and Scott Pilgrim which I think of as honorary members of the family).
That second bit you mentioned reminded me of something from Holy Grail.
smonster, and those who appreciated the blue goo vs. something more blood-like, Edgar Wright said during a Q&A that I attended that he went with blue because red would have gotten him a higher rating. He may also have said something about test audiences also preferring it, but I misremember now.
I just...as in less than an hour ago...rewatched Men in Black.
What Sail just said with the Edgar Wright whitefont was totally present in that movie, but I never thought about it. Makes perfect sense that people would be less upset by blue, green, clear goo when someone explodes than red . Huh. Never thought of it like that before.
I thought it was brilliant myself.
Yeah, I remember one of the more disturbing moments from the 1978 Invasion of the Body Snatchers was when Donald Sutherland caves in the head of his duplicate in the making and it looks an awful lot like he just caved in a human's head, not something alien.
For me the scariest moment in that was the dog human centaur made by combining the disabled man in the wheelchair and his helper dog
I'm whitefonting because others are. I fear I'd make a good cartoon lemming.
Me too, Typo!
Oh, that was one of the freakiest things ever, Typo!
Oh, that was the scariest moment (along with the shriek at the end - you know the one), but the other was really, really gross.
