I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai  

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.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Has anyone heard anything about this?

I hope it works this time! A friend sent me this link.

I think it played at the film festival here last fall. I heard good things.

I haven't seen Audition though. While I may be pretty hardcore about scary movies, I know my limits and something tells me a movie that freaked Rob Zombie out is going to be beyond them.

Yeah, I haven't seen it. I've seen clips, but not the entire movie.

Blair Witch terrified me. There were parts of that movie that come straight out of a recurring nightmare I have had for decades. I have never watched it again, and I don't feel the need to.

I haven't seen The Ring/Ringu. Enough people I know who have seen it have assured me that I should never, ever watch it, because it would freak me out too much, and that I wouldn't sleep for a very long time. When friends tell me that, I listen to them.

Mike Watt = shortlist for World's Most Awesome Human Being.

Really? He's on a mailing list I'm on. I mean, I know who he is, but I'm more of a Grant in Husker Du guy.

The Ring

For the most part it was just creepy, but the bits at the end made me jump ten feet out of my seat.

I looks like fun. Jack White makes everything subversive!

I got interrupted in the middle of writing this post. It's about It Might Get Loud.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Speaking of horror movies:

what are your most memorable (and early) horror movie experiences?

a) in 9th grade I saw "Omen" at a friend's birthday party. It was not as scary as I thought it would be, but apparently I was the only at the party not screaming;

b) in elementary school (or jr. high), I saw "Burnt Offerings" on tv and that fucked my shit up for a couple of weeks. It is not a particularly good movie, but I found it really scary as a kid.

c) in college, I screamed through about 1/3rd of "The Lost Boys" at a dorm video party. My roommate and I were hugging each other during the last 30 minutes. It helped us bond...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Alien and Halloween freaked my shit out when I was young. Was it spaghetti that they were eating in Alien around when the belly-ripping starts? Whatever it was was what was on the menu for lunch afterwards. My friend's leg brushed mine under the table and I about lost it.

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

My early horror movie experiences included Killer Klowns from Outer Space and Pulse. I think I was sometimes afraid of being burnt to death in the shower because of the latter.

Also, Candyman gave me nightmares. I watched it at an age when I covered my eyes when there was nudity. And then I slept on a couch downstairs next to a glass door; the whole night I was afraid someone was going to come in the room.

I don't think I was ever that age.
