Film

Only watched The Mist last week. Really good.

The Black & White version of The Mist is brilliant. Hides the ropey CGI and helps add to the bleak vibe of the whole movie.

Ooh. Never seen the balck and white version. I really liked The Mist. And didn't know the ending in the film (which is perfect) was different from the book. And King himself said the ending in the film was miles better than the book.

Watched Fright Night there. Was expecting it to be slightly better, and it would have been minus one very annoyingly performed secondary character. Fun though. Chris Sarandon is a terrible actor in a way that works haha. Second one worth a go?

Been years since I watched it (definitely 30+!), but definitely recall it having some great practical FX/makeup. Going by the Letterboxd reviews it definitely seems like it's a typical 80s sequel, so get the beers in.

I did rewatch the remake with Colin Farrell playing Dandridge and it's still good craic.

Just looked that up there. Wasn't expecting to discover the remake was directed by yer man who did I, Tonya.

Decided to go with the remake last night instead of the sequel, and sure enough it is good craic!

Glengarry Glenross (1992/1993?) DVD

A claustrophobic drama set mostly in an office dealing with real estate salesmen and the pressure of maintaining their jobs. Al Pacino, Ed Harris, Jack lemmon..a lot of amazing actors.

Never gets old, so quotable.

Well, turned it into a full Fright Night weekend by watching the sequel last night. Think overall I preferred it to the first, mainly simply due to it not having the head-wrecker actor.

You mean Evil Ed presumably? I thought he brings an energy to the first one the other films lack. But yeah, he's definitely a bit Bobcat Goldthwaite.

For me the first one is an amazing film. One of the best 80s campy horrors. Thought the sequel was a decent but not as good. Thought the Colin Farrell one was complete shite.

They always had to have the loud mouth nerd with a gimmick in 80s horror/comedies. Usually memorable despite being annoying as fuck half the time!

Crispin Glover and his bonkers dancing in Friday The 13th:The Final Chapter being a great example.

Say what you like about the remake: McLovin was less annoying than the original Evil Ed

True.
Original Evil Ed did 976 Evil instead of the sequel (Englunds Directorial debut) and spent the 90s in gay porn.

Glad it worked out for him in the end so: he wouldn't be the first to think they were into vampires only to later discover it was actually just the impaling they liked.

Who would have thought Fright Night would have the less gross doggy scene compared to his 90s career.
