  1. Feedback Answer:
    I’ve seen enough horror films that it’s hard for me to be truly disturbed by them, since I no all the tropes. THE SIXTH SENSE quite frightened me the first time I saw it, especially involving the appearance of the ghost girl (played by a young Mischa Barton BTW). The ending of THE RING left me a bit shaken (mostly thanks to a “false” ending that lulled me into a sense of security). Finally, I thought that the original PARANORMAL ACTIVITY was very effective in its scariness to the point that my mind started to play tricks on me shortly afterwards when I was watching a movie at night (ie hearing sounds, etc). It’s a real shame Paramount had to sequel that film to death and I have already decided to skip part 4.

  2. Dude, when you said you were going to talk about a movie you were thankful for and then “Rhapsody in Blue” kicked in, I can’t tell you how giddy I got because I knew exactly what you were going to talk about. I have days where I suspect no one movie line says more about who I am and how I feel than “he romanticized it all out of proportion.”

    AND “Out of Sight.” Which I love just as much as “Manhattan.” If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it 46 times, if I was about to perish but I was allowed to watch 5 movie scenes before it happened, one of the 5 scenes would be that scene in the hotel bar between Clooney and JLo. The dialogue, the acting, the visuals, mercy, mercy me.

    A long way of saying, good show, gents.

    1. Glad you enjoyed that discussion Nick, and if you listen closely, you can even hear Lindsay’s editing contribution when “Rhapsody” kicks in.

      I’ll give ya a shiny new quarter if you can spot it!

  3. Re: question about what freaks me out on the screen, first that comes to mind is Twin Peaks. The TV series. Maybe it’s a bit of a cheat, but it really had an outstandlingly creepy atmosphere. Just thinking about how it all ended, the final look into the mirror, gives me shivers.

  4. Glad you liked Looper. I sometimes feel cheated when I see a film that is different from what the trailer led us to believe it would be, but not this time. The Looper we got was better than the Looper I was expecting. Now time to muddy the waters. Warning there are spoilers here. Time travel films always create some kind of paradox, have you thought about the one here? Joe kills himself to stop Old Joe. Once he has done this Old Joe ceases to exist meaning he could not have come back and started the series of events leading to this point where Joe felt he had to kill himself. Therefore is Joe alive somewhere having never met Sara, Cid and Old Joe?

    As already mentioned on Twitter the movie that really freaked me out was Don’t Look Now. I was about eleven or twelve when I first saw it (too young I know!) and it really creeped me out. No other film before or since has done that too me. The strange thing, I still get the same feeling when I watch it now.
