I've never understood the appeal of Dolls

what is it that you dislike?

It's just boring to me and what Charles Band movie doesn't have boobs?

hmm.. i guess after from beyond and re-animator it could be a letdown that you're not getting something more like that again. but it's been a favorite as far as i can remember.

Everyone loves it I don't know why it just doesn't click with me

i suspect everyone has a movie or two like that.

Thought I owned Needful Things and I don't. That's disappointing

[Jason]

Ralph, wtf is wrong with you?

[zombie]

is this movie within a movie stuff meant to be commenting on the drop in quality? or was this in the book too? i actually don't remember if it was in the tv movie or not. i guess i need to rewatch that too.

[Jason]

Dolls is a 9.4 or 9.5.

[Jason]

I'm going 9.5

[Jason]

I only watched Dolls I believe once before this. I remembered thinking it was good. This go-round I was totally blown away. A very rare 5 stars from me.

[Jason]

New siggy, which means it's time for Dolly Dearest after I make a cup of coffee.

Are you talking about the Audra scene early on? Otherwise, I can't remember a scene in It Part 2 with a movie in a movie.

If it's the "you suck at writing endings," thing, that's a somewhat common complain lobbied at Stephen King, and it pops up a few times throughout the second part (such as during King's cameo).

i didn't know that criticism was out there about stephen king himself. that explains it.

Currently on the Dolly Dearest menu screen of my Vinegar Syndrome bluray. The music is intense. Very cool. I remember really liking this one a lot, but I think Dolls is probably going to end as my all time favorite Little Liller Thriller.

Anybody else seen this movie? I don't recall ever talking about it with anyone.

[Jason]

The synth and piano in this movie is amazing.

Seen it. Actually discussed it with Chucky on the FE podcast.

Might be worth a listen to hear our thoughts, if you're interested, but long story short, I'm not a big fan of it (though I saw it on the opposite of bluray, so what do I know?)

I will check that out.

Dolly Dearest is credited for being the inspiration for Annabelle.

i'm not such a fan of dolly dearest but it could be in need of rewatch.

I remember liking it well enough and getting some very moderate Exorcist vibes with the creepiness of the doll. Rip Torn's non-drunkenness is also a prominent memory.
