wish somebody would invent cronecore

That book is going straight into my wishlist. Definitely have mixed feelings about the use of 'hag', I think it depends on who's using it: in some ways it seems like a reclamation of the term - as LL says, the hag is the hero of the film...

xpost You mean cronerock, surely?

emil.y, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:00 (eleven years ago) link

What do you guys think about May, though?

diamanda ram dass (Edward III), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:01 (eleven years ago) link

Thought so. Carrie remake it is.

bettis was great, movie itself was only OK.

Boris Kutyurkokhov (Eisbaer), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:03 (eleven years ago) link

Yeah, it's not that great of a movie, and the boyfriend character is inane, but it's entertaining and Bettis is super weird and memorable in it.

Sunset Boulevard is more on the thriller side of the spectrum

smh

It's a vampire comedy

World Congress of Itch (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:10 (eleven years ago) link

lol @ cronerock

Roger Barfing (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:11 (eleven years ago) link

anna faris also great in may

diamanda ram dass (Edward III), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:14 (eleven years ago) link

pre hollywood makeover too

game of crones (La Lechera), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:15 (eleven years ago) link

It's a vampire comedy

Ha, I can totally get with that interpretation.

emil.y, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:21 (eleven years ago) link

CARRIE remake is dire. Nearly as bad as the late '90s teensploitation sequel.

jungleous butterflies strange birds (Eric H.), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:25 (eleven years ago) link

oh, shirt. guess i missed this. need to check in more regularly. ):

silent ouzo eclipse (Mr. Hal Jam), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:35 (eleven years ago) link

that was the sound of eric's head hitting the table

diamanda ram dass (Edward III), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:36 (eleven years ago) link

i'm not about to plead for an extension. i snoozed, i loosed.

silent ouzo eclipse (Mr. Hal Jam), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:37 (eleven years ago) link

You snoozed, the g-d results lost!

jungleous butterflies strange birds (Eric H.), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:38 (eleven years ago) link

Tho I really like the way these results turned out on the whole, in the end.

jungleous butterflies strange birds (Eric H.), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:39 (eleven years ago) link

you showed up just in time for the reveal tomorrow, tho

diamanda ram dass (Edward III), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:39 (eleven years ago) link

I would still love to see a Hal jam ballot just for personal queue filling purposes

O_o-O_0-o_O (jjjusten), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:40 (eleven years ago) link

cosign

diamanda ram dass (Edward III), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:40 (eleven years ago) link

Yeah, I'm not sure if by this point one more ballot would be doing much but shuffling a few titles a few slots one way or the other, but it would still be neat to see.

jungleous butterflies strange birds (Eric H.), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:41 (eleven years ago) link

i'll oblige. and i will try to post before the reveal - so as to avoid the influence of the votes. not sure where to start with a personal Top 50, tho. yeesh.

silent ouzo eclipse (Mr. Hal Jam), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:42 (eleven years ago) link

Tell you what ... if the response in this thread is supportive, I could see myself holding off results for one more day if you thought you could get a ballot in to me in relatively short order.

jungleous butterflies strange birds (Eric H.), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:43 (eleven years ago) link

sorry for the total ILE fail. let's hope i am more on top of things when the inevitable Vintage Porn Parodies poll comes around. Gums FTW.

silent ouzo eclipse (Mr. Hal Jam), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:46 (eleven years ago) link

how can i refuse a gesture like that? will get it to you ASAP.

silent ouzo eclipse (Mr. Hal Jam), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:47 (eleven years ago) link

I also just want to make sure that I have the blessing from pillbox too, since he's working on the image files.

jungleous butterflies strange birds (Eric H.), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:48 (eleven years ago) link

Either way, though, this project needs a ballot from Mr. Hal Jam!

jungleous butterflies strange birds (Eric H.), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:48 (eleven years ago) link

as much as I'm raring to see the results, I can think of none more worthy of a dispensation from the horror gods than mr hal jam

diamanda ram dass (Edward III), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:49 (eleven years ago) link

yeah, why not? one more day couldn't hurt, and hal jam really oughtta be represented in here.

as long as pillbox isn't setting his computer on fire in protest

diamanda ram dass (Edward III), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:53 (eleven years ago) link

awwwww! you guyz (and galz)!

silent ouzo eclipse (Mr. Hal Jam), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:55 (eleven years ago) link

I want to see a Hal jam ballot but part of me does have kind of a cancelled Christmas feeling about tomorrows results being delayed

O_o-O_0-o_O (jjjusten), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:58 (eleven years ago) link

Maybe the bottom 10 or 15 won't change and then everyone wins

O_o-O_0-o_O (jjjusten), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:58 (eleven years ago) link

Hey Eric, you aren't rolling out any results on Saturday/Sunday are you? I am out of town celebrating my anniversary this weekend and I want to be sure to be around to complain abt pontypool when it places

O_o-O_0-o_O (jjjusten), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 20:00 (eleven years ago) link

If anything changes markedly, it will likely be the bottom 10 or 20.

jungleous butterflies strange birds (Eric H.), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 20:01 (eleven years ago) link

is Grizzly Park really on this ballot? Really!?!

silent ouzo eclipse (Mr. Hal Jam), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 20:01 (eleven years ago) link

No, I'm only doing weekdays. So maybe the way things turn out now, I'll do the first 30 on Thursday and Friday and the remaining spread across all five days next week?

jungleous butterflies strange birds (Eric H.), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 20:02 (eleven years ago) link

i should have my ballot to Eric within the next half-hr. going fairly old-school, so i doubt it'll shake up the SQ all that much. nor should it require for more img sourcing.

silent ouzo eclipse (Mr. Hal Jam), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 20:02 (eleven years ago) link

Good to know; if that's the case, I bet it won't affect too many of the tiles that are already shelled out.

jungleous butterflies strange birds (Eric H.), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 20:04 (eleven years ago) link

(Right now, I only have the first batch of 15 and I think pillbox was finalizing the next 15 last night.)

jungleous butterflies strange birds (Eric H.), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 20:05 (eleven years ago) link

(Which, by the way, I think the images Pillbox has worked up are gorgeous. He's going to deserve the lions share of credit for the success of this poll.)

jungleous butterflies strange birds (Eric H.), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 20:05 (eleven years ago) link

if pillbox doesn't wanna or can't redo the tiles, and that should really be the deciding factor here, then maybe just include a note where HJ's ballot would change the rankings?

Yup, I've emailed him and await his verdict.

jungleous butterflies strange birds (Eric H.), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 20:10 (eleven years ago) link

well this is a fine turn up for the books :) plus i'm off work thursday so that's a great day for the countdown to begin.

second only to popcorn (or something), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 20:11 (eleven years ago) link

who is this HalJam-come-lately?

If Eric is a list queen, you are all ladies-in-waiting.

World Congress of Itch (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 20:21 (eleven years ago) link

I for one would like all spring/summer list projects to be announced by March next year, so I can decide whether to order MLB.com for the season.

World Congress of Itch (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 20:24 (eleven years ago) link

HalJam is Claudio Fragasso

hal is a ravenous horror junkie and drive-by poster who dropped science in the post-2005 horror thread
