yes, it was fun and interesting. what about you?
It was great - enjoyed meeting both Srbo and Ms. Mod (Marsha) - listening to Stephen and Owen was a real treat and even seeing my big sister after 10 years was nice as well.

She wants us to try and fly down for Christmas - I told her we would see what we could do!

My sister, that is (not Marsha!) ;;D

1922. Thomas Jane has been in three King adaptations and of the three this was his best performance. This film belongs in the ranks beside The Green Mile, I think. I liked it better than Gerald's Game and IT. Perfection; the end gave me goosebumps. If I had my way I'd have Zak Hilditch direct and write the screenplay to Pet Sematary.

Really want to see 1922. Hoping it comes On Demand soon - I do not have netflix.
Glad to hear that they did the story justice.

Before Sunrise: a movie from Linklater that I actually didn't like. Ethan Hawke's bad acting was amplified by a factor of 10 with Linklater's dialogue in his mouth.
Hey! Is Dee Dee Home?: a documentary on Dee Dee Ramone which bogged down and was mostly uninteresting.
Bay Watch: a movie that was everything I expected it would be -Barbi people with 2nd rate punch-up jokes and predictable cameos overlaying the plot all movies like this have.

Raw Deal (1948). TCM, Sunday morning. Fried some greasy corned beef hash and eggs, and turned on Eddie Muller’s Noir Alley just in time for this hard boiled classic. Dennis O’Keefe breaks out of the big house with the help of his weathered gun moll (Claire Trevor), and the two of em kidnap social worker Marsha Hunt and take it on the lam. Raymond Burr makes a badass debut as the psycho-sadistic mob boss who wants O’Keefe dead. Watch out for the scene where ol ‘Perry Mason’ tosses a flaming cherry jubilee on his hapless gal pal. Yikes. Anyhoo, it’s Claire Trevor who steals the show, in a role similar to the one that caught her the Oscar for Key Largo. Ah, that’s my kinda Sunday morning, kids. I was drunk by noon. Amen.

Oh, and, uh...this movie really exists. No ‘trick’ for the Halloween challenge thread, this flick was a hard boiled TREAT.

The cut of chucky. It was one of those movies. Don't so bad it melts your mind. But only good enough to fold socks and paint nails to.

Crack In The World (1965) - Dr Sorenson has the brilliant idea of sending a rocket propelled bomb into the earth's crust to release free geothermal energy, but things go horribly wrong. Director Andrew Marton (of whom it has been said "Who?") pretends to be Irwin Allen in a colourful widescreen action adventure disaster movie.

Maybe they didn't know that loosening a chunk of the planet wouldn't result in it zooming off into space and forming a new moon. And leading man Keiron Moore is very handsome but acts extremely badly. Seriously badly.

This is as dumb as a box of frogs.
