Earlier today I looked over at my DVDs and noticed one on top, still shrink-wrapped. At some point in the last 6 months, I bought two-movie DVD of Frirestarter and Firestarter 2, but I have no memory of it at all.
Firestarter isn't that good, but it holds enormous sentimental value for me. I had a huge, huge crush on Drew Barrymore (???) and I also wanted to be her in that movie (and later when she became a wild child). It might make my ballot for that reason alone.

Firestarter had a pretty good soundtrack by Tangerine Dream too

Why doesn't he just push the taxi driver to make him go to the airport instead of pushing him to make him believe he's given him a $500 bill? Makes no sense.

easier to push someone to believe something pleasant than to do something against their will? iirc pushing ppl takes a lot out of him so it makes sense for him to take the path of least resistance.

It's funny that he pushed a pay phone into giving up its quarters. Ha.

ties into maximum overdrive, right? king treating inanimate mechanical devices as things with minds of a sort.

― BEMORE SUPER FABBY (contenderizer), Sunday, 15 April 2012 22:16 (twelve years ago) link
love Day of the Beast though. might even vote for it.
― BEMORE SUPER FABBY (contenderizer), Sunday, 15 April 2012 22:17 (twelve years ago) link
devil inside her is horrifying on a couple diff levels, def more horrifying than erotic. the marc loi in you might object tho? (no shots fired)

lol, no worries. i've avoided the shaun costello & zebedy colt 70s roughies, mostly due to presumed rapeyness.

OK, last call for nominations. Will open the poll for ballots a little later today.

Wtf, this wasn't nominated yet?
Troll 2
― Tuomas, Monday, 16 April 2012 13:36 (twelve years ago) link
I didn't want to vote for it in the comedy poll, because I decided to exclude unintentional comedies, but it certainly was intended to be a horror movie.
― Tuomas, Monday, 16 April 2012 13:37 (twelve years ago) link
It's either a great comedy or a rotten horror movie.
― jungleous butterflies strange birds (Eric H.), Monday, 16 April 2012 14:06 (twelve years ago) link
I may just give Troll 2 one point on every poll.

turner classic movies held a film festival last weekend in hollywood with a midnight screening of phase iv on friday, kinda funny to see it positioned among the likes of singing in the rain, the searchers, and vertigo...

tbh it's been years and years since I've seen devil inside her, iirc there's one troubling sequence but the rest is pretty standard stuff for the time, albeit dressed up in disturbing facepaint
xp to contendo
