I do remember watching 3 at the cinema and rolling about laughing when he put sunglasses on before killing one kid. They made Freddy cool!! :cool:

I was a tad young to watch the first ones at the cinema so you must have a few years on me I guess, unless you acquired stubble at a *very* early age!

Have you seen the remake from a few years ago? I cringed when I heard they were doing it, but then I found out they had Jack Earle Haley playing the part of Freddy things started looking up. As revamps go, it was pretty good, I thought.

Now I just need to pluck up the courage to watch The Equalizer. Damn this had better be good or Ewar Woowar will be turning in his grave!

I'm 52 LOL all those so called horror movies used to just make me laugh but Freddy was cool. The only horror movie ever really scared me was The Exorcist I saw that when I was 14 I think. The Shining is probably one of my favorite of the genre.

I know I'll get flack for this, but I've never actually seen The Exorcist. I think I've always had a problem with it because I saw clips and the girl's makeup just looked laughable. I guess I never bothered because I couldn't take it seriously.

If you want to talk 80's horror then I *have* to mention Hellraiser. I didn't know any Clive Barker at the time (he wrote it, if you didn't know) but have since become a huge fan of his books. That's his most famous book-to-film and I thoroughly loved that as a kid.

To be honest, other than some Asian horror films, and the exception of the American remake The Grudge, there's not many horror films that touch me, and I so long to be touched :p

In fact, I challenge anyone to suggest for me a horror film that will actually scare me. I'd love to see a film that does that for me.

[MENTION=1071274]Archer[/MENTION] you are correct my friend I'm with you it's just at the tender age of 14 and still well kinda innocent The Exorcist scared the pee out of me LOL but ever since I find the "horror movie" quite laughable. Suspense and comedy are what I prefer now. Johnny Depp in "Secret Window" was a fantastic movie at least to me anywhoo.

The Taken movies are good as well and for what the are I enjoy the Bourne series of movies the ones with Matt Damon that is. Oh my I remember another movie that really scared me at a very young age Hitchcocks The Birds man that one got to me as well I think I was 9. The only thing scary today is the News.

[Off-topic] Archer:
Yep, I totally agree with all of that, except the Johnny Depp film. I've not seen that but will have a look into it. I do also enjoy all the clichéd stuff like Star Wars and James Bond. It seems like I'm going through a phase of the new stuff being my favourite, since Daniel Craig has quickly become my favourite Bond, and Peter Capaldi is my favourite Doctor!

I'm still not looking forward to The Equalizer though :p

Edit: After looking at the Johnny Depp film on imdb, I was reminded of this...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0375735/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_29

If you've not seen it I'd recommend it. It's just a bit strange, but very good.

Yeah, I like that. I'd seen it before and failed when looking for it again so I'm glad you posted it! It's a good scary original idea, but it would probably be spoiled if it were longer than a minute. Some things are best left to the imagination!

[Off-topic] ShadowLea:
So. Pompeii. By Paul w.s. Anderson. (you know where this is going.)

Lousy acting (The horse was the most convincing!) cringe worthy plot, cliché dialogue and the usual utter lack of respect for the laws of physics.

Let me sum it up this way: They successfully outran a pyroclastic flow on a bloody horse. People have tried to do that in a helicopter and failed.

You know a film is bad when you start cheering for the volcano. :rolleyes:
[Off-topic] dianestory2:
I went to see that in theaters, and was mainly going to see the cool CGI. I enjoyed that part, at least, and Keifer was pretty good as a bad guy
[Off-topic] ShadowLea:
The CGI was excellent.

If we could've just watched that for an hour with the epic soundtrack and without the lousy romance plot, the film would've been so much better! (But then I say the same about most CGI-filled films these days.)

He was creepy, which means he did okay. But what the hell was that accent supposed to be?

And I still can't get over them outrunning a pyroclastic flow on a horse. It's not possible to outrun it in an Apache, let alone on a horse. :rolleyes:
[Off-topic] dianestory2:
Hahaha I just went into that movie knowing that there were going to be plot issues, so with those being ignored, I was able to enjoy what was remaining.

I dont know what his accent was, But his angry face was pretty scary.

I watch it primarily for a muscle car wheelie which I think every FF movie has!

[Off-topic] dianestory2:
The difference with James Bond- the audience is expected to suspend disbelief about his longevity; the stories don't carry over, and circumstances never really alter that much in terms of character. It is not necessary to watch earlier films to understand the new ones. I think the James bond series (series? anthology? idk.) I think it is it's own denomination.

But that's perhaps why you agree with me 99%.

Yeah, that's a very valid point. They're not actually sequels as such, so they don't find themselves stuck with a story that really should have ended after the first 2 hours, and is now being tortured in order to stretch it beyond belief.

The Harry Potter films (obviously books) did a good job at keeping going. They did have a running theme that meant there was progression from film to film, but you didn't *need* to know that either, until the last 2 films anyway. That's probably the next best film franchise I've seen, but possibly for the same reasons you gave for the James Bond films.

The movie is easily understandable regardless of how people claim it to be a complex one.

And it is without a doubt EXCEPTIONAL (in caps lock)

But the deeper you try to understand how this happened, the more confused you get.
