But I do love Jane Levy.

Man, this has not been a good month for my schedule. I have seen 18 movies on home media so far and really liked 3 (Bad Channels, The Specials, and, up until the stupid-ass ending, The Gift.

Do you have netflix instant? I have some recommendations

No. Regular disc service only. And a library. And Crackle and Youtube. But PM me with the titles.

I have some good coming to me. I recently bought the 4 Film Favorites sets of Kubrick and Scorcese. Some Travolta movies too.

Not to mention: next month is Nicolas Cage Month. Everything I see out of theaters will be starring Nic Cage (my favorite actor).

I guess I have every reason in the world to just hold onto the three film collection set they released under the "Roger Corman's Cult Classics" banner and pass on the blu-ray. Upping the picture quality on this one isn't that big of a deal to me.

From what I've read in a review...

Special Features

Audio Commentary with Director Amy Holden Jones, Actors Michael Villella and Debra De Liso, and moderator/uber-fan Tony Brown
Sleepless Nights: The Making of The Slumber Party Massacre
Interview: Rigg Kennedy – The Man Next Door
Trailers for all three Slumber Party Massacre films
Still Gallery


So, hopefully the others get released along with the rest of the doc.

What did "Shout!/Scream Factory" do to the "Darkman" disc that requires me to update my PS3 software before it will even let play the disc? It wasn't that long ago that I just updated everything.

What are you banging on about? I've not turned this thread into anything. Anyways, any new major announcements from Scream?

If you must know, I have refrained from posting on the Arrow or UK threads because they don't respect me like my American cousins do. I can actually have thoughtful and engaging conversations on here, even if they do get a little heated.

So i'm a full time poster on the US boards.

Are you really that full of yourself?

The UK boards didn't respect you (whatever that means), you say?

That's interesting, because from my point of view it looked very much like you kept posting condescending comments about movies other people liked, while at the same time constantly touting your own favorites as they were some kind of objective gold standard. And if people did not agree with your assessment, you set yourself up as a martyr - people were out to get you, "having a laugh" on your expense etc.

The truth is, nobody drove you away from the UK boards but yourself. And if you haven't noticed, you are well on your way to repeat that questionable success. Hell, just a few posts back you were once again spouting derogatory remarks about movies you haven't even seen and touting your own taste as superior.

No, you are not a troll. You, Sir, are a drama-queen!

I've found The People Under the Stairs to be a pretty hit or miss title with people. I like it, but can understand why many don't. I thought the Evil Dead remake was one of the better remakes, but what don't you like about the original?

Well, I don't really have much to say about this post other than I respect your point of view. Your a great poster, one of the few on this board and clearly highly intelligent. I really don't feel the need contradict what you have posted here because I know that you are being genuine and not trying to take the piss out of me.

That's fine, though.

I think I should refrain from commenting on films I haven't seen or forcing films I like down other people's posts.

I would like to get back to talking about upcoming blu rays or good transfers of blu rays that currently exist.

The Prestige.

I take offense to that. We are all great posters.

Isn't it funny how we all have such different tastes. See I love the original Evil Dead but the next two installments were only ok to me...enjoyable but nothing special. As for the Evil Dead remake...well that can go suck something.

Nah, you should really comment on whatever you like - just don't have a double standard about it: if you get to make derogatory remarks about movies you don't like, it means others also do, and occasionally these remarks will be about movies you care for a lot. That doesn't mean they are out on a personal vendetta against you. It just means their taste differs. Without all the drama, that's usually a good starting point for a fun discussion about the ups and downs about a particular film. And discussions are one of the things we are here for, right?

I don't mean to be rude, and if a come across as rude, I am sorry. Blame it on the language barrier. But you should lighten up a bit.

Personally, I find your passion for certain movies refreshing. I really had no interest in Ginger Snaps before, but you have made me genuinely curious, so now I am going to pick it up when it's released. Whether that is something to be thankful for, I'll have to get back to you on.

Oh man, you are going to despise him for sparking your intrigue.

[Show spoiler]LOL...Nah I just busting on Prestige

And Prestige...don't take it personal when people lash out, people just get a little intense with their opinions...you are no troll(a troll is someone with the sole intent to piss people off and that is not your intent) and like Mr. Thomsen said you should be able to comment on whatever you want.

It looks like there will be announcements on Monday on Dread Central as Cliff and Jeff will be taking questions

It feels very incomplete, like it needed to be a trilogy. It definitely felt like the first part of a story, even though the sequels weren't planned. In fact, the only one that I think feels like a full movie with a story that has a beginning and an end explained in that film is the second.

I have anything that I have TWO of crossed for that....
Actually, I will not be disappointed if Without Warning isnt announced - not this time !
Makes me wonder since its DreadCentral if they are doing 80s retro , I cant see them announcing something from the 50s or 60s, but you never know...
Legend of Hell House, Tales from the Crypt, Vault of Horror sound logical to me
