I'm a huge fan of all genres,but I never was that crazy about a lot of gore.I've always loved the 80's slashers and the 70's giallos....so I don't think my taste will ever change. I do like serious movies,but not all the time.


Thats why I love horror so much...its FUN!:)

I think of it as one of the most stylish, slick horror films ever made- and Argento's second best, right after Profondo Rosso and right before Tenebrae.

Even if you set aside the brilliant set-designs and the horrifying color schemes, the plot (IMO) was original and exciting. Typical Dario plot, but that's a very good thing.

I like "Suspiria" for what it is....pure eye candy. I loved "Tenebrae"too!:) )

Jay Leno and Letterman both did Depends jokes that day.

I read an entire article devoted to the brand and style of "maximum absorbtion unit" that NASA uses.

And just a few minutes ago I'm flipping around and hear a commentator on one of the cable "news" shows bitching that "I don't want to know about that, come on, that's just in bad taste." That whole evolution took two...three days?

Rod, you're older than me, sure, but not by very much. It's for damn sure that there's not enough of an age gap that I can't manage a piece of advice:

One day, just for the day, switch off the "In all seriousness" lever, because I think it's stuck (maybe from the hashish, that shit makes me serious too... I start talking about things people probably don't even think I actually know)... Okay, do get some absinthe, mix it with sugar, a little water, and some lemon juice (I was informed not to drink it straight, as it has too much alcohol... Oops:D ). Then, do a Danger Mouse marathon. Brilliantly hillarious cartoon with very limited hidden "significances" of any kind.

I mean, I totally platonically (word?) love you for who you are. Sometimes, however, I think you deserve some time off. Your incredible brain deserves silliness. If nothing else, read some goddamn Terry Pratchett to your kids. I recommed Reaper Man, Soul Music, and then The Hogfather. They'll love it, and you'll love it. Trust me.

Take 2000 mgs of silliness a sifter of absinthe (the real stuff), two rolls of herbage, and call me in the morning.;) ;) :D :)

My movie tastes have definatley changed in the last 10 years.

I used to watch a lot of arthouse/festivial flicks and all the "serious" stuff done by the "masters" Hitchcock, Scorcese, Kubrick and all the critically acclaimed Oscar driven films. I still delve into this kinda stuff every now and then but it's just not where I'm at.

I did a total 360 and became a total trashfiend. Its more relaxing and escapist to me.

But as far as my tastes in horror go the horror/comedy subgenre is one I really hate.

Sorry - totally stressed-out juggling production rewrites every day, being the full-time stay-at-home dad, running my sick neighbor back and forth to the hospital and writing the wedding ceremony I'm performing for two friends in just a couple of weeks.

phew

now all the little things are getting to me.:o

Thanks, darlin, I'm gonna go see a man about some weed:D

[halloweenfreak1]

I love slasher films, love em, thats it

[The Flayed One]

I went through a phase where I hated any kind of humor in horror movies at all. Any one-liners or other silliness would turn me off completely. I'm a lot more relazed about that now. There are very few things I watch anymore that I don't enjoy on some level.

It probabaly has a lot do do with age..Guys like me & urgeok don't have a lot of time left....so to waste 90 minutes on stupid shit....its just unacceptable.:D
