Goddammit Matt.
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

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.

Saw an ad for a mad max game. It's capitalizing on the latest movie, the bad guys are clearly war boys with silver mouths, but not only is there no Furiosa, but they even reverted to a Mel Gibson version of Max as the main (only) protagonist. This seems wrong.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, that's outrageous.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
It is perhaps unfair to Sir Ian that There were many times my brain tried to superimpose Jeremy Brett's face over his while watching Mr. Holmes. But perhaps that is a compliment in its own way.

So, I just saw The Visit, the latest M. Night Shyamalan. I wouldn't say it's good, but I certainly enjoyed myself.

I finally got to see It Follows this weekend, and it's the rare modern horror movie that comes off as completely original and truly frightening. I've heard a lot of comparisons to John Carpenter and Wes Craven, but the quiet building of dread strikes me as reminiscent of earlier horror masters like Polanski, Lewton, and Tournier too, even if the setting is more modern.
Totally agree with you on this, Matt. I REALLY liked the movie, especially on the big reversal of the usual "sex kills" horror movie trope.
I do have one question though - what would happen if you were a total slut (male or female) and just fucked a whole bunch of people, or got into an orgy? Not that that's what the movie was about, but it does raise possibilities for something very disturbing.

I had the impression that was why Greg didn't see anything from It for a number of days after he and Jay had sex.

Oh, creepy. Hadn't thought of that.
