haven't seen targets. that will be my karloff for the month.

I wouldn't personally call Targets horror. At least I didn't see it as a horror, but it is a good movie.

Naturally your call in the end.

hmm... if there's a guy with a gun, then reign will let it be horror.

i'll adjust the tally if i need to.

i think i would call targets horror. but it goes really straight and casual and not playing up the fear and intensity that such an event would actually. and i don't get that. i guess bogdanovich wanted to make a horror flick without leaning far into the horror of it. but i stand by it being horror, personally.

[zombie]

oh i think i get why they didn't go hard with the horror. i can't really explain it without spoiling the movie, but yeah. also not exactly a fan of the way they took karloff''s character in the end. but it is good hero worship kind of an ending in a way. so i can let that slide.

Barbara started getting frisky and things got better

[Jigsaw]

Checking out Saint Maud.

Heard good things about this one. Curious as to if it's my jam or not.

Did not care for that one. Hope you have a better time than me

It's not far off from what I expected. Well-shot, but far from an enjoyable movie, and I couldn't imagine wanting to see it again.

Just about my exact thoughts on it.

Also I've seen at least 400 face slaps in this. Excessive even by 60's Italian cinema standards

Oh, a late congrats to Tigg for reaching 100 movies.

[zombie]

should i watch candyman, the changeling, or american werewolf in london?

[Jigsaw]

I'd go Candyman, but if you're in the mood for something more ghostly, than I'd go the Changeling. That said, if you're in the mood to keep off the moors, I'd go AWiL.

Hope that helped.

[Jigsaw]

I actually own two of the three of those on DVD, so that's an oddly nice feeling.

Really makes me appreciate the Incredible numbers you all can get

[zombie]

thanks a million.

For my part, it's a bit more difficult because after pretty much every movie, I have to spend anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour writing a review, and thinking about all that time that could have been used watching more movies physically hurts.

Still, we all do what we can. I pretty much have no life outside of work, so I have no excuses for not getting decent numbers.

our tastes are held similarly around here. good or bad.

[zombie]

i guess i'll go to london. and try to stay off the moors.

[zombie]

a nightmare on elm street is my favorite horror movie score. an american werewolf in london may be my favorite horror soundtrack.

[zombie]

drop dead fred is supposed to be one of the guys in the slaughtered lamb but i always miss which one he is....

[zombie]

i think he's the other chess player at the table with the "chuck out the mexican!" guy?
