Watching this with a more watchful eye, noticed a lot of things that are part of our lives today, such as Microwave Ovens, SKYPE, overdependence on computers (Maybe a virus that makes HAL malfunction?) and calling cards to name a few. *****

I know what you mean about what the film is supposed to mean. I listened to this guy talk about it for 30 some mins on the radio. Then I watched it, and I just wasn't seeing what he was. I wonder if the writer ever wrote what it was about. Still, I also think films mean what's on the film... meaning, what's there even trumps what the writer claims it means. ::roll eyes::

::big grin:: Well done, Roi.

I, however, loved the film, but still very well done. ::big grin::::big grin::

Night Tide (1961)

This beautiful moody gem of early 60s comes with a quite serious & psychologically twisted "Killer Mermaid" story, starring a young & innocent Dennis Hopper and the stunning Linda Lawson. At times the camera work & the tone of the film kinda reminded me of Carnival of Souls (1962)! Recommended.

Thanks, I think? Lol, didn't really do anything special besides watch a movie without colors and a lot of dialogue. ::big grin::

I didn't hate it, but it felt more ''action/adventure'' than horror, so I was expecting something more of a happier ending I guess.

LMAO! Oh wow, I thought you were going for the double entendre there. The Incredible Shrinking Man left you unfulfilled? I figured you were just displaying your usual wit and sense of humor.

And now that you've said that you were hoping for a happy ending, are you SURE I'm not right? LOL! ::big grin::

Nahhh, I think if I was going that route I would've said something along the lines of, "it didn't measure up to my expectations". ::wink::

Murders in the Zoo
Interesting flick. Great murder mystery type with animals used as the murder weapon. Ending was a bit random, and the comic relief took a little too much camera, but it was good regardless.
