"Archchronicler" sounds like a really lame comic book villan.

I vaaaaaaguely remember that Max Headroom guy. Or maybe I just remember hearing about it. But I didn't know the whole story. That is damn interesting.

I seem to remember that "bookkeeper" is the only word with three straight sets of double letters. Is that right?
I remember learning this from an Encyclopedia Brown book

I had a terrifying dream last night that featured the word "pherabim", haunted forests, possessed children and ancient African curses. It was really disturbing.

It just so happens I'm researching horror movies to rent tonight.
― KitCat, Thursday, 20 September 2007 20:09 (sixteen years ago) link
Like?

My dream made me want to watch Val Lewton movies.

See the Best of Horror thread, J. I just posted a big list!

I like movies about witches. http://www.stim.com/Stim-x/0696June/Automedia/Pix/clipblacksun.gif aka BLACK SABBATH. I hope this is on your list. (Unless you've already seen it.)
― La Lechera, Thursday, 20 September 2007 20:15 (sixteen years ago) link
omg Race with the Devil is RIDIC! I loved it! Best part takes place in a "mobile home park." Lots of gratuitious motorbiking too.

Are you drinking with us?
― jaymc, Thursday, 20 September 2007 20:19 (sixteen years ago) link
I prob. can't get there until 6:30, as usual.
Also, argh, I am trying to transliterate Persian. I don't know why I bother, except I want to know why the spelling "Hossein" (instead of "Hussein") is more common in Iran than elsewhere.
― jaymc, Thursday, 20 September 2007 20:21 (sixteen years ago) link
Probably along the same reasons as you see "hummus" "hommos" "hommous" etc.

Amanda, I can't find that on IMDB!

It would not be a bad idea to have a Barbara Steele film fest. http://www.oldies.com/i/boxart/large/41/089218415097.jpg
― La Lechera, Thursday, 20 September 2007 20:24 (sixteen years ago) link
It's sometimes called Mask of Satan or Black Sunday or any number of things -- look up Mario Bava and you'll find it.
― La Lechera, Thursday, 20 September 2007 20:25 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh, this is probably it.
― KitCat, Thursday, 20 September 2007 20:25 (sixteen years ago) link
I would like to see THE SHE BEAST.
I also like Season of the Witch, which is out on DVD now.
― La Lechera, Thursday, 20 September 2007 20:27 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh, ok. Found it FOR REALS this time.
Hey, I would totally be agreeable to hosting such a film fest unless someone else is up for it.

I just noticed that Shivers, which is on my list, is a Barbara Steele film too.
― KitCat, Thursday, 20 September 2007 20:30 (sixteen years ago) link
She has a really nice nose. Interesting: James Poe wrote an excellent role for Barbara in "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" (1969). The role ended up going to Susannah York, and Barbara wouldn't act in movies again for 5 years.

Btw, why didn't anyone tell me that Busy Philips is on ER? I wasn't prepared to flip channels one day and see her taking a bubble bath.

So is Linda Cardellini!
So, Dan, are you coming to our Barbara Steele moviethon?

Do you own any of her movies, A?
― KitCat, Thursday, 20 September 2007 20:50 (sixteen years ago) link
Nope. But I've seen some.
I even saw one recently -- it also had Vincent Price in it. Don't remember what it was called...
― La Lechera, Thursday, 20 September 2007 20:52 (sixteen years ago) link
HA for a second I read "Do you own any of her motives", and thought about standardized Motive Profiles, which you could download.

Hey is anyone else going to see the National on Saturday? Anyone besides the two people I am going with that also read this thread, that is.
― dan m, Thursday, 20 September 2007 20:54 (sixteen years ago) link
Where? Who else is playing? I'm trying to get some peeps to go see BdRole tomorrow night.
― KitCat, Thursday, 20 September 2007 20:58 (sixteen years ago) link
Those two shows would make for a fabulous weekend.
WHERE IST THE NATIONAL PLAYING?
I love their newest album, I think it might be my fave of the year right now. However, I have suspicions that they might be boring live.
― n/a, Thursday, 20 September 2007 21:03 (sixteen years ago) link
I forgot to say earlier but I want to do SOMETHING fun Saturday night to celebrate being done with GRE (unless I do bad and decide to take it again).
― n/a, Thursday, 20 September 2007 21:05 (sixteen years ago) link
It's at the Vic. I'm not sure who else is playing.
