So are we still trying to fill one spot for the 22nd?
If so then I think I have to go with The Fog. For me, Adrienne Barbeau as Stevie Wayne is what really sets this movie apart. Its such an innovative movie in the way that it uses her character. The scenes where Stevie, from her radio tower, directs the towns folk to safety are really clever. She becomes more than simply a character in the movie, she is almost an extension of the audience at this point, before then being dragged head long back into the movie when her radio shack is under siege. I can't really articulate exactly what it is about the way her character plays out, but for me, there is something really special about it.
That said, I'm not going to have any complaints if The Fog doesn't make it, there are plenty of solid films being backed that I certainly would be backing for honourable mentions myself if they don't squeeze into the final spot before. There are still one or two flicks I'd like to get behind for honourable mentions too that haven't had much backing yet, so I'm hoping there will still be a bit of room for debate once we nail on the 22nd film. :cool:
