Hey!
Good news!
[9:15
AM] Mr. McGreen:
The
Rapture, eh?
Well.
Later, bitches.
[9:15
AM] Mr. Brown:
I've
been waiting to see this Nibiru
It
sounds like a great planet to look at
LOL
[9:16
AM]
The
Rapture info say anything about God crashing a planet into Earth?
[9:17
AM] Mr. McGreen:
Not
that I recall
[9:17
AM]
I'm
a little hazy on the text in that section.
[9:18
AM] Mr. McGreen:
I
read about a potential Earth 2 last night
20
lightyears away
One
side burnt to a crisp and the other an ice age but in the middle is
"liveable"
But
plants would be black and it would be constant sundown with red skies
[9:19
AM]
"And
the Chosen were flung into the ionosphere when God banked Nibiru off
two cushions into the Earth and dropped the 7 ball in the side
pocket."
"And
the angel keeping score did hoot for the third time."
[9:20
AM] Mr. Blue:
Isn't
that Gliese 581c?
[9:20
AM] Mr. McGreen:
Yes
[9:21
AM]
Chapter
12, verse 5, yes.
[9:21
AM] Mr. McGreen:
LOL
[1:05
PM] Mr. McGreen:
Good
question: you make a friend who has never seen a horror
movie... What's the first you show them?
[1:05
PM] Mr. Blue:
Halloween,
probably
[1:06
PM] Mr. Brown:
Friday
13th
[1:06
PM] Mr. McGreen:
The
original Friday the 13th?
With
his mommy?
Sorry
*spoiler*
[1:06
PM] Mr. Brown:
Yes
Where
Kevin Bacon gets killed
[1:07
PM] Mr. McGreen:
Kevin
Bacon was in that? Hmm. Never noticed
I
still think The Exorcist is my favorite
Sooooo
creepy
But
I dont think it translates as well to, say, atheists
I
feel like Psycho would be a good one
[1:08 PM]
I did an analysis in here one day about how ridiculously impossible Bacon's death was in that movie, considering the space underneath, the reach-around needed, the length of an arrow and the strength required. It's on the blog.
[1:10
PM] Mr. Blue:
Poltergeist
is good too
[1:11
PM] Mr. McGreen:
Poltergeist
feels more like a kids fantasy movie
[1:11
PM] Mr. Brown:
The
Gate
[1:11
PM] Mr. Blue:
Halloween
is the quintessential horror film
Friday
the 13th is a Halloween rip off
[1:11
PM] Mr. McGreen:
I
think a couple films could challenge Halloween as the quintessential
[1:13
PM]
Never
seen a horror film?
(I
had Malcolm watch Sleepy Hollow last night for his first, actually)
[1:14
PM] Mr. McGreen:
Yeah
Thats
tougher to me than picking "your favorite"
Like
what to start with? ...the embodiment of horror films...
[1:14
PM] Mr. Blue:
It's
Halloween
[1:14
PM]
I
never thought much of Halloween, honestly
[1:14
PM] Mr. Blue:
But
it's still the quintessential horror film
It's
had the most lasting influence and has been copied, parodied, ripped
off the most
Like
Rambo 2 isn't even the best Rambo, but it's the most “Rambo” of
the Rambo films
[1:16
PM] Mr. McGreen:
Psycho,
The Exorcist, The Omen, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre all came
before Halloween and also had huge impacts on not only the genre, but
film itself
I
just dont think there's a quintessential to horror
Maybe
not to any genre. IDK
[1:17
PM]
Oh,
no doubt Halloween is a cultural phenomenon
[1:17
PM] Mr. McGreen:
Oh
yeah
[1:17
PM] Mr. Brown:
Black
Christmas
[1:17
PM] Mr. McGreen:
Its
my personal favorite of those I listed
[1:17
PM]
I
like The Fog much better as a horror story though
But
you can't really dress up as...fog...
(girl
at party) "Ooo...you're an undead pirate on fire?"
"A
guy with leprosy in the fog."
"Oh"
(walks away)
[1:19
PM] Mr. McGreen:
When
you take out the slasher element, horror is pretty close to fantasy
[1:19
PM]
The
Omen I've always liked
[1:19
PM] Mr. Blue:
You
could dress up as a guy from The Fog if you had a lot of dry ice
[1:19
PM] Mr. McGreen:
That's
not a bad idea
Mr.
Silver, you have a pirate costume right? Lets try it.
[1:20
PM]
Compared
to a painted Captain Kirk mask and machete, it's nothing
[1:20
PM] Mr. Blue:
You'd
need the big hook, rubber cap and seaweed all over you
Psycho
and The Omen aren't scary
[1:20
PM] Mr. McGreen:
I
didnt claim they are, but I'd still say horror
[1:20
PM]
"Halloween
reveler passes out and dies from lack of oxygen. Appears to
have been dressed as an undead pirate on fire."
[1:21
PM] Mr. Blue:
"Great
costume Mr. Silver! Would you like to come in?"
"Ahh
I'll just stay on the porch all night and tap on the sliding door,
thanks"
[1:21
PM]
The
Omen?
The
kid himself basically does nothing but stare at the camera
[1:22
PM] Mr. Blue:
I
don't remember The Omen
[1:22
PM]
You
just claimed it wasn't scary. How would you know?
[1:22
PM] Mr. McGreen:
Its
slow
[1:22
PM] Mr. Blue:
But
I'd say Psycho is psychological, not horror
Maybe
psychological horror
[1:23
PM]
We
could separate this topic into supernatural and psycho/thriller
Oh,
and creature fear
The
original Friday the 13th - at the reveal when I finally
watched it - was great.
Soon
as they went supernatural I started yawning
[1:25
PM] Mr. Blue:
Jason,
as we know him, didn't show up until 3
By
then they were onto 3D gimmicks
[1:26
PM]
I
liked Nightmare on Elm Street for the innovation and extraordinary
success
[1:26
PM] Mr. Blue:
I
like the effects in that
[1:26
PM]
But
I didn't think it came into it's own until 3
[1:26
PM] Mr. Blue:
Nicely
captured dreamlike states
[1:26
PM]
The
entirety of #1 could be argued as she was having a dream
[1:26
PM] Mr. McGreen:
Nightmare
on Elm Street 2 felt like an 80s teen movie
[1:27
PM] Mr. Blue:
That
was the gay one?
[1:27
PM]
2
was so meh I never watched it again.
[1:27
PM] Mr. McGreen:
Yeah
[1:27
PM]
"Way
to mess up an idea and ruin a franchise, guys"
People
were horrified by Jaws. I only really watch the second half
usually.
Eh...fish attacks. I liked the hunt.
[1:29
PM] Mr. McGreen:
I
actually liked that more than I thought I would
[1:31
PM]
Jaws?
[1:31
PM] Mr. Blue:
Jaws
is one of my favorites
[1:31
PM] Mr. McGreen:
Yeah,
Jaws
I
heard that trilogy gets aaaaaaawfull
Like
a telekinetic shark
[1:32
PM]
Yup
Well...telepathic
and after a particular family
[1:33
PM] Mr. Blue:
That's
the 4th one
2nd
one is mediocre, 3rd is 3d and it's bad, 4th they bring back Brody's
wife and the shark starts killing her family
I
didn't think it was telepathic in 4, just intelligent
Been
a while though. I don't even remember Michael Caine being in it
I
don't even consider Jaws horror
[1:52
PM]
Creature
fear film
One
of the better ones.
Defining
horror is tough in general
"The
Black Cat" is horrifying in its way and a 4-star classic.
I got too bored to finish.
"The
Shining" is a supernatural/psychological horror classic, but it
doesn't exactly rush to get going.
"Alien"
is sci-fi horror, as is "The Thing"
But
they're just predators doing their thing...just happens to be against
humans
People
wouldn't call Ghost in the Darkness horror since it's just predators
doing their thing too. If the lions were from space hunting
people then....
Oh
wait...that's "Predator"...
:P
[1:57
PM] Mr. Blue:
Jaws
is just maybe a 'monster' movie
Not
that scary... just stay out of the water and you're fine
I
think horror needs to have some element of "oh shit that could
happen to me"
