Liquid Sky

No one's mentioned the impending release of Liquid Sky on Blu-ray. Are there any fans of this movie here?

There's lots of Blu-ray releases happening lately. I just ordered The Sect and Scalpel. There's also Grizzly, The Church, American Gothic, and Seven Blood-Stained Orchids.

I never thought Liquid Sky would get a release, but it's happening. Now we need The Meateater and A Quiet Place to Kill.

Evil Dead 2 - Ash surviving deadite possession

As far as I know, he's one of the few examples of one being possessed by a deadite and then later being able to rid himself of the demon.

Is there any reason he can do this?

Your Favorite Found Footage Movie(s) ?

Admittedly, this is a sub genre that I am not too knowledgeable about, but I have seen a fair few. I like found footage films, some are rubbish, and some are great - that bring some much needed originality. I go through phases, where I was a lot of FF movies, to where I may not see any in months, but I always find them entertaining. .I never do anything by halves, so I will list what I really liked. (In order, for the most part)

What are/is your favorite FF movie(s)?

Oh, right! The fuckin' B&W results! I almost forgot...

So, anything from last month stand out? Favorite FTV? I forgot what mine was. I watched a bunch of Film Noirs and classroom hygiene/anti-drug shorts, along with some Andy Griffith and Reefer Madness type flicks from the 30's and 40's. I watched Repulsion and found it dull as shit, watched Freaks for the first time in forever and didn't hate it. Decent challenge.

CPA and I were neck and neck for the longest time and then he fell WAY behind and didn't update his spot until it was over. Thought you had me fooled, didn't you? Well, I wasn't fucking born yesterday. I mean it worked, obviously. So, congratulations, but just sayin'. I was on to you.

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema

Anyone ever been to one of these awesome theatres? I've only been about 3 times myself, but I think they're a really cool chain that caters more to film buffs and genre enthusiasts than average moviegoers. I saw Big Trouble in Little China at my local Alamo here in Denver last night and loved every moment of it. It was my first time seeing a John Carpenter movie on the big screen, and I hope to see more of his stuff in such a fashion here in the future.

Also, on a side note, there's a really awesome Left 4 Dead survival map that's modeled after one of the Alamo theatres. You can find it here: https://www.gamemaps.com/details/2247

Werner Herzog's Nosferatu The Vampyre

Anyone else love this movie?

I particularly like the take on Count Dracula here. In many movies vampires are depicted as glamorous. Whilst here he is depicted as quite a pathetic creature.

The rat scene where they are eating a meal at a table in the middle of the street is quite striking to me.

Isabelle Adjani as well, what a beautiful and stunning actress.

Army of Darkness - A puzzling question

I was watching Army of Darkness again and a thought occurred to me whilst doing so. Skeletons don't have dicks. So why are they rounding up naked girls?

Paul Kersey - Talk about your bad luck.

What are the odds of the same guy having his loved ones wiped out by gangs on five separate occasions? I think I would have given up on starting relationships after the second time. Forget it, dude. You're cursed. Everyone you will ever love is doomed.

Re-Animator's Score: Homage or Rip-off?

I love Re-Animator. The original is one of my favorite movies, and both sequels are solid. The first time I saw it, one of the things that really jumped out at me was the score. I was disappointed to later learn that the film's score bears more than a passing resemblance to Bernard Herrmann's score for Psycho. I had already seen Psycho when I saw Re-Animator, but it had been many years and I didn't remember the score.

In interviews, composer Richard Band's attitude toward being called out on the major similarities seems to be basically "Duh. That's the joke, don't you get it?" Is it really? I have to admit, I don't get it. I might understand if the movie had a lot of similarities to Psycho, like if it was a spoof or something, but they are absolutely nothing alike. So how is that a joke?

I guess I might be able to forgive him if he was some great composer. But I have seen at least 45 movies that Richard Band has scored, and the only one that is in any way memorable is the one that's a rip-off. It seems to me that the only reason he even has a career is because his brother produces every movie he works on.

Do you think Re-Animator's score is justifiable?
