I assumed ynwtf was asking what I was watching (it's kinda vague as "you" is both singular and plural). I've watched the Netflix version and now I'm watching the Chinese version (which is clearly...

A slightly off-topic question from someone who can't speed read at all; can you appreciate the quality of prose while speed reading? As far as I know, speed reading requires silencing your inner...

Re: Favorite Viewing of The Month?

I watched only five movies last month, and most were rather bad. With that in mind, the clear favorite was the only non-bad film of the bunch, Szürkület. This Hungarian remake of It Happened in Broad...

I decided to start watching the show. After four episodes, it feels, I don't know, disappointing. It's not terrible, but all the rave about the books made me expect something more.

Re: Best Giallo Movies?

The question is plural, so I don't think Deep Red is a sufficient answer, as much as it might be at the top of the list.

As far as I know, there were female samurai/warriors in Japan during and before the 16th century. It was at the beginning of the 17th when that changed.

I did the same with Evil Dead. After a few pages, I scratched the supernatural (and ripped off) elements, and tried to make it more original (something slasher-like, I'd remember). I don't remember...

That's sort of a good guess, but I didn't submit a list for either of the noir countdowns. Also, The Ninth Gate would have been higher on my list had I submitted one. I, too, like it a lot.

I think you missed that the review you replied to was not about the original The Exorcist, but last year's sequel (which, by the way, does deserve all the hate it's getting) :D
