John Carpenter's "The Thing" (1982)
Perhaps one of the greatest horror remakes ever made, being a remake to Winchester/RKO's 1951 classic "The Thing from Another World." This is actually the movie I was watching when I got the idea to start this page. I remember being terrified by the Dog Thing...
Just picked up a few Captstick books, "Return to Silent Places" and "Safari: The Last Adventure."
Having already read "Death in the Long Grass" and "Return to the Long Grass" I'm looking forward to both.
Went out to grab some lunch, and the driver's side wipers went out.
Just as this week is predicted to be very snowy.
So I came home and heated up some Campbell's New England clam chowder and made a PB&J instead.
As a dark comedy the movie worked for me, though I definitely felt like something was missing. The comedy was dry, and the horror relatively absent except for the intro. The movie felt like it couldn't decide what it wanted to be. Acton movie? Horror comedy? Gun fu flick?
At least Last Voyage...
Stores these days are waaay too eager to get to the sales. I'd heard rumor that Hobby Lobby is already setting up their Halloween AND Christmas merchandise.
I had a plain, unassuming black leather jacket in high school, though it disappeared YEARS ago among a pile of "giveaways."
I still have my Letterman jacket buried somewhere in my parent's crawlspace. Knowing my mother, it probably smells like a mix of mothballs and cedar chips. Leather, denim...
Haha, that's what I was going for!
Funny enough, but the last couple years I've found an actual NEED for wearing linen caps in the summer. I never noticed when I was younger, but my hair is so dark, it just sucks in the heat of the sun.
I will NEVER understand the concept of hate watching. If something displeases me enough, I simply stop watching. Somehow, fandom has turned from "I love this!" to "I hate everything about this, but will continue to actively engage in it to continue hating it!" People must live awful lives to...
For me, seeing kids get really into a beloved franchise I grew up on like Indy or Star Wars is the real magic. I remember being a kid in the theater forming a lifelong fandom for a movie franchise like that.
Ooof, yeah I'd wait at that price, too. Max has it included, so I watched it through them. The gore was definitely the level you'd expect from an Evil Dead movie. The characters literally turn red from blood splatter.
I received the Chepstow Trilby in the mail from Lock & Co today! I was very impressed with the speed of shipping from London to Chicago, having only ordered it last Thursday. The felt is very soft, with a good level of stiffness that keeps it still slightly pliable. Turning it over in hand...
