So far it's Oliver Reed drinking and smoking. Good stuff

[zombie]

communion girl is going pretty well so far.

it wasn't really anything i hadn't seen before. but not bad.

[zombie]

cracking 100 with manhunter. i don't think i gave this movie a fair view because of anthony hopkins. time to try again.

it feels moody and almost dreamlike with the camera work. versus the more direct straight forwardness of silence of the lambs.

Really came on strong

[Tiggnutz]

Since it's on the same disc as Paranoiac I'm watching Kiss of the Vampire.

why is it spelled "lecktor" here? was that the way it was in the book and they changed it in the other films or what?

Up early and thought I would finally give The Ward a try. Feels like I have considered it for the Challenge the last 10 years. Small chance I watched it before

I was expecting trash and it was much better than that. C+

Still Carpenter, brah, he always stays above the gutter even when Chevy Chase's dumbass drags him down.

Memoirs of an Invisible Man is fucking hilarious

I quite liked Paranoiac. One of the 1,000 or so movies I still need to rewatch.

It was "Lecter" in the original novel. No idea why they changed the spelling. Never seen Manhunter myself, but I have to admit, had no idea Brian Cox was in it. I doubt I'd recognize him that young, but could be interesting to see.

i think you would recognize cox pretty easily. he has a distinctive look.

have to say that graham's outbursts kind of feel forced to me. but otherwise i'm into manhunter more than i had been in the past. still doesn't quite match silence of the lambs but that's a hard place to reach for, so yeah.

[Jason]

Starting the Gingerdead Man trilogy. They're short, hoping to finish them all before I have to tend to life things.

How would you rank them, zomb? I don't remember which ones I liked best, though the first carries some nostalgia a bit.

Finished very well
