I think we should call the Avengers.

You know, I was down with Bioshock: Infinite when it centred on a group of minorities trying to take down their capitalist oppressors, but now the game seems to have abandoned that story in favour of pseudo-physics and Elizabeth, and it doesn't really succeed at getting me emotionally invested into either one.

Black Christmas is even better than i remember. a genuine masterpiece. maybe not as good as Halloween, but within striking distance of it anyway. and if we're judging purely on scariness, Black Christmas might take the cake. movie is loving terrifying

I haven't seen near enough horror films to speak authoritatively on the subject, but climax is probably my favorite in a horror film.

I'm guessing you're not referring to any of the remakes of those. For once it's a list horror films where I've actually seen most of them.

correct, although the '70s version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers just barely missed the cut

Seen both. It's a good use of your time. Spotlight is almost ostentatiously un-flashy but very well done.

I hope you will follow our people's tradition and go out for Chinese at some point in the day.

Margot Kidder is insanely good in Black Christmas. it's one of those incongruously great performances in a grubby little genre movie, like Michael Moriarty in Q: The Winged Serpent or Harvey Keitel in From Dusk Til Dawn.

PYF one of those

God help us all, but Louis Gossett Jr is great in Jaws 3.

I can't really imagine that you're gonna be happy with the DLCs either but yeah unfortunately Infinite is a very pretty fun game whose story starts to...go to Hell for Ken Levine related reasons.

I actually loved that aspect of it. Haven't totally sat down and thought about why or how it fits in with everything, but it's a style I haven't seen too much lately, so I appreciated at least the relative novelty of it.

Black Christmas is probably second only to TCM in terms of horror flicks that make me need a shower after watching them. It's not even particularly gross visually or anything, there's just this pervasive sense of griminess to me throughout.

yeah, much like TCM, Black Christmas features almost no onscreen bloodshed but the things it implies are drat unspeakable.

it's such a good counterpoint to Halloween, because where that (also completely terrifying) movie positions its slasher villain as a fairy tale boogeyman, Black Christmas' slasher villain feels uncomfortably close to what that kind of person would be like in real life; a weirdo shut-in who makes obscene phone calls, talks to the corpses of his victims, throws bellowing temper tantrums, and rambles about things that make sense only to him. it's like that one scene of Leatherface nervously rocking back and forth stretched out to an entire movie.

i'm not crazy about the Shining*, but i definitely have mad respect for the rest of these choices and you've reinforced that i REALLY need to watch Downfall.

*i started rewatching Eyes Wide Shut late last night and i honestly think it might beat out both The Shining and A Clockwork Orange as Kubrick's scariest movie

as long as we're talking horror stuff, HUNDU, you succeeded in getting me very into Ray Russell. after the Case Against Satan, i moved onto this collection, which has some of the finest horror writing i've read in some time. great mean gothic horror stories that scratch the same itch as some of the harsher Vincent Price movies. highly recommended.
