FrightFest

So I still haven't seen it, but my excuse is now posted in the new GITS column... I think I owe you a drink, come August. We can have an argument about why you still like Broken. :P I'm going to post a link on my blog shortly. I'm still battling with the grey-on-white text (to the Powers That Be - ...

Ditto!

I saw it on opening night at WIQ and there were ... probably between 20 and 30 people there, I reckon. Not many at all.

Andy - no, of course girls like that do exist, but you'd expect a) in reality, for there to be SOMETHING more to them on some level or other and b) as far as the movie is concerned, these girls are the main protagonists, we're meant to care about their fates, and how's that going to happen when they...

Screaming and naked flesh aren't necessarily the problem, it's the presentation. I guess it's the age-old "I know it when I see it" argument. But I would complain about any film that displayed the attitudes Hostel Part II did. I like horror movies, but I don't like torture movies, and I do...

Well, now I'm impatient to see what you'll say!

You're going to disagree with me, aren't you? :P

I am unconvinced (but unsurprised) by the charge of misogyny levelled at HOSTEL PART II...An equal amount of torture and sadism was perpetrated on MALE victims in the original and in PART II one female character is graphically killed on screen while the most horrifying demise is reserved for a repe...

Moving on, I rented Braindead. An early effort from Peter 'Lord Of The Rings' Jackson made in New Zealand, I felt it fair to watch this film. I usually refer to him in quite unflattering terms, given that I sat through the entire Lord Of The Rings trilogy. I only made it half an hour into 'Braindea...

Troll 2 made me lose the will to live.

This weekend: The Faculty - the forgotten Robert Rodriguez movie, with Severance's Laura Harris. Still love it. Aliens - nope, not won over, ever. Troll - 80s B-movie nonsense.

Fall Out Boy, right now.

Today, mostly The Dismemberment Plan, and Zombina and the Skeletones.

Noticed one chap who was the milk drinking drug dealer from Brick and the actor who played Angel's son in, um Angel. WHAT?! So I talked my boyfriend out of dragging me to see it despite his J-Timberlake obsession and did myself out of perving over Vincent Kartheiser in the process? Damn it all to H...
