Can you burn me a dvd and mail it to me?:eek:

It's almost like an earlier version of Slither. I know it's a cheap comparison but that's about the closest thing I could think of that's close to it. It'd a blast. :)

I hope we're allowed to discuss this here?

To Posher:
If everything turns out fine with it, then sure, it wouldn't be a problem. There is no DVD (although a UK "special edition" is on ebay... but it's sketchy, and goes for over 50$) and the VHS is out of print (duh). I say "if everything turns out fine" because we are currently experiencing a snow storm (IN APRIL!!!) and the signal is pretty weak. By midnight tonight (9 hours) it should be all cleared up (hopefully), though.

Keep in mind that it won't be pure DVD quality as SCREAM is a DSR channel and does not broadcast in HD. It will also be in fullscreen and have a logo in the bottom corner (well, at least I expect... although they do air a buttload of movies in WS as well... in which case there would be no logo on the picture). After capture I can send you a few screens if you'd like to see how it turned out.

This is my recording capabilities. If this means anything to you.
I can master it to DVD with higher settings, but the result won't be leaps and bounds better.

We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story (1993) 8 / 10

swiss tony 04-05-2007 03:08 PM

black christmas. the original version. felt i had to watch it in light of recent events. it had a big rep and it lived up to it. 8/10. much more interesting and watchable than most fri 13th's or NOES's in my humble opinion

joshaube 04-05-2007 04:38 PM

I love the original Black Christmas, and in a completely different way I enjoyed the remake (Although it was ridiculous, looking back... I enjoyed it to some extent. It was very well shot, I'll give it that. It was nothing like the original.)

Gossip
Stylish 'thriller' with a nice twist ending. Overall it was just a slight nudge above average. Nothing special.

NEXT UP (I'm recording all of these, as DVDs don't exist.)
Night of the Creeps &
Highway to Hell

I AM FUCKING PISSED BECAUSE SCREAM HAS BEEN WORKING 100% FINE AND AS SOON AS FUCKING NIGHT OF THE CREEPS COMES ON, IN THE ALIEN SEQUENCE WHEN THE CAPSULE LAUNCHES TOWARD EARTH... THE FUCKING SATELLITE GOES OUT. OUT. COMPLETELY OUT!!! THIS IS BECAUSE OF FUCKING GLOBAL WARMING. I BLAME IT AND THE SHITTY SAT. COMPANY. IT DOES NOT NEED TO SNOW IN APRIL, LET ALONE 15 FUCKING INCHES. AGH! OF COURSE IT HAD TO HAPPEN TODAY. ITS ALWAYS LIKE THAT. OH FOR FUCK SAKES!

Night of the Creeps is good fun.....a bit dated [something about 80s movies....not sure if its the styles or the music] still some good fun to be had.

Posher778 04-05-2007 07:48 PM

The Prestige- 10/10

Possibly the number one twist ending ever. IMO
