Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

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

I love Tremors a lot. I just watched it again this year.

One of my best times in the theater was watching Tremors at the bargain theater, Friday, 7:30 p.m. show a few months after it was released. Place was sold out and packed by 7:20, and everyone was looking forward to a good time. As the chase sequences started, people were screaming at the screen--"Run, you idiots! Keep running!", etc. Everyone got into it and enjoyed themselves immensely.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

My memory may not be entirely reliable on this matter, but I thought Jaws was marketed as a horror movie. And I think of Dead Calm as a thriller.

That sounds like a lot of fun, Kathy.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Most of our categories are strict, so things like Dead Calm are firmly thriller, but not horror.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Also Horror is a Major cat unto itself, while thriller and man vs. nature are sub cats under Mystery & Suspense and Action and Adventure.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

One of my best times in the theater was watching Tremors at the bargain theater,

The Goonies. Packed theater, lots of school-age kids, hooting and yelling the whole way through. Awesome.

Because books.

My favorite memory like that is seeing Rocky II when it was first out. Small theater, pretty packed, and at the end every was on their feet cheering and crying.

I was only ... thirteen at the time? It was awesome in the true sense.

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

LoTR movies opening morning. God bless geekery. Serenity premiere. Because. Batman Begins and Dark Knight--both had geeky great audiences. Actually, so did the original Batman movie which I saw at the initial showing while clutching a life-size Wolverine cutout.

I guess my fandom is showing.

One of my favorite movie-watching memories is seeing Strictly Ballroom in pouring rain, with everyone clapping and stomping their feet in time during the climactic dance sequence.
