So I let my son watch the original Nightmare on Elm Street

[LouCipherr]

I see "Poltergeist" has been mentioned ... guess what - I've never seen it. *waits for HPOTD to clamber back onto its feet* *passes out in disbelief* *wakes up and passes out again in disbelief* Dude.....rent that shit. Download it. Do whatever you've got to do. I think you would REALLY dig Poltergeist. A fantastic 80's film without the eighties cheese. I would put it into that rare class of good eighties horror films like The Thing and The Fly. You won't regret it. Never cared for the sequels. Just the first. What he said. You cannot live life without seeing this flick, MZ. It's a must watch!! If you don't buy it, I'm going to send it to you in the mail, goddammit. ---------- Post added at 02:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ---------- IIRC, Three. THREE?!?! *passes out in disbelief again*

I was just surprised. I thought MZ liked cinema.

I was just surprised. I thought MZ liked cinema. I know, wtf?! This is like the third classic film in the past 2 months he says he hasn't seen. I'm starting to get concerned about our friend across the pond... perhaps he's had a bit too much of that Bolivian Bone Ash he got from a certain celebrity zombie.

And what are the other two then, eh? I challenge you to name them. I'll have to find myself a copy, but you know how it is, there's so many goddamn movies out there that some are going to fall by the wayside as you're distracted by a million other flicks. The weird thing is I feel like I know the movie fairly well, because of the sheer amount of parodies that are floating around out there in various shows, and how it's always turning up in countdown shows and movie lists on TV and such, but I haven't seen it ... yet. Now that last word, that's a subtle reference to another movie - can anyone guess what it is? And Lou - what are these other classics I've apparently not seen?

[LouCipherr]

And what are the other two then, eh? I challenge you to name them. Damn you MZ, don't make me use this crappy search engine to try and find them. I do remember you saying recently there was a movie or two you haven't seen and we called blasphemy on you - if I can find them, I will post them, but damn this is going to make for a difficult search. You probably remember what they were, but now are gonna make me work for it, aren't you? ***edited to add: worthless search engine.. I tried, MZ, but I can't find them. I know there was one flick (other than Poltergeist) we called blasphemy on you for not seeing. I just don't have the gumption nor the search tools to find it. Every time I search, it says words like "have not seen" are "too short of phrases" to search for... :sarcastic:

[bassman]

American Werewolf in London was one of them, I believe. He's since corrected that little problem.

[LouCipherr]

Thank you bassman. There's one, MZ! Not that I helped find it or anything..

[MinionZombie]

Thank you bassman. There's one, MZ! Not that I helped find it or anything.. That was ages ago though! Conveniently at the time the special edition 2-disc DVD had just come out and it was only £8. So yes, I rectified that issue swiftly. I just had a look and apparently the DVD is fucked at one point - it stops mid-sentence during one scene and skips right onto the next at one point. So I duno about that, I don't wanna buy some disc that doesn't work properly. Maybe it'll be on telly sometime soon.

Do you have a region free player, and what's your address?

[LouCipherr]

Do you have a region free player, and what's your address? Yeah, what he said. I dunno MZ, there was something recently we were talking about that you said "I haven't seen that yet" and I was almost knocked out by that fact. ...of course, it could be that awful short-term memory issue I have too, so who knows.

[AcesandEights]

All this time MZ has been thinking GAR refers to general automotive repair?

Sometimes I think Lou's role models are Cheech & Chong. I do have region free players, FYI, in fact today I DVD-region-unlocked my Blu-Ray player for good measure, and re-watched Survival of the Dead (with commentary, making this my 3rd viewing, on the R1 2-discer that I finally got around to getting ... told you I'd get it sooner or later ). All this time MZ has been thinking GAR refers to general automotive repair? Cheeky fecker. ... My mate Gareth though, hell, he's not even seen Grindhouse! I mentioned Mary Elizabeth Winstead (I think we were talking about The Thing prequel) and he had no idea who she was, so I mentioned Death Proof and he had no idea still - good god man, you need the image of MEW in a cheerleader's outfit in your life, said I. Where was I? Oh yeah, there's a bunch of stuff he hasn't seen yet ... but then my mate Ben has seen even less stuff.
