carry on sargeent? was that a film? i seem to have a vague memory but no details. we are familiar with square bashers. i don't think they are extinct yet but the relevance in this day certainly makes them lack credibility. when was the last square set batlle?
oops, missed the film part. not used to this new monitor yet. the resolution is so good i've been watching all my hd movies over to check for natural blondes.
the daleks organic component doesn't seem large enough to carry a brain. i wonder where they hid it? sometimes they were scary and sometimes laugable. the scary ones seemed more realistic and faithfull to continuity. but we admit to a large degree of prejudice.
Top comment : "I absolutely love Hartnell's portrayal of the Doctor, far more mysterious & seemingly dangerous than the big girls? blouse he has become."
patrik troughton was the early dr i remember. i had forgotten that he added much comedy and also had a companion with legs that went all the way up. her minis were REALLY short. duck dresses, they were. two inches higher and you see the quack. yeah, yeah, just shoot.
Hey, I went to go see The Day Mars Invaded Earth, spent every minute of the movie past the credits hiding behind a popcorn box. I was 8. I'm better now.
Early marks were without but by the time they got to the TF.Xs the dihedral was introduced. IIRC, it reinforced longitudinal stability. Thanks for the video reference. I've never seen them in action before.
I rely on Japanese & Oriental horror now. When I first saw "Ring", when she crawls out of the TV, I leapt to my feet and just shouted "F**K!" continuously about a dozen times (only filling in the blanks...) Thankfully I was at home, not in a cinema...
I've become inured to all the cliches of Western Horror. But some of the Eastern stuff works just fine...
You have to get the new generation stuff. Movies like "Mr Vampire" and the like are, deliberately, campy. But the Ring trilogy, Grudge, Pulse, One Missed Call, Tale of Two Sisters, Shutter, etc. work for me.
Of course, you have to be in the right mindset. Horror movies are just movies, they are faked, and they do require you to 'buy into' the cliches. Some of it does still seem severely artificial, but the unexpectedness of much of the horror bits (unexpected in that they just wouldn't be used in a Western movie - some are quite heavily signposted, and Asian horror in general doesn't use as many sudden shocks as Western stuff) works better for me that any number of Motels, Saws, etc (actually Saw was quite inventive, but excessively gruesome).
i've never been able to get horror. it blows past me and i have nothing. some of the effects and staging is amazing but it just doesn't do it. i beleive the failure is mine. the imagination and sense of wonder is just not there. the failure, horatio, is sticky residue. all my fault.

Actually stuff like saw just disgusts me. That sort of cruelty to one's fellow man is beyond me. All I can think is someone should just shoot the bastard and move on.
