Your Lounge, Should You Choose To Accept It

[Pink Ranger]

Don't forget London, Ontario.

Seriously, don't forget London, Ontario. Everybody else in Canada does. If too few people remember where the town is, it fades from existence. Some kind of Iroquois curse.

 

[Iceman]

I need to go to London.

Get yourself over here!

 

[Iceman]

You don't know what you're missing. It's only a little over an hour away from me and right next to the Daniel Boone National Forest. A real pretty area.

Just looked that up and it looks great. Love natural stuff like that.

That sounds like the plot from a TWILIGHT ZONE episode. It would star Shatner, natch, as a detective from the states tracking a suspect that's fled to Canada. Burgess Meredith would play the mayor of London.

"Does forgetting something erase it from existence? Is human memory all that truly stands between something being real and its final oblivion? If so, keep the people of London, Ontario in your thoughts as long as you can and keep a deep wealth of sympathy for them in your hearts, for that town has the unfortunate luck of laying within the borders of what we think of as reality and... the Twilight Zone."

You joke, but people forgot about Bredan Frazier, and no one's seen him since the third Mummy movie.

You can still find lots of "authentic" music though Marv. Today there's more outlets than ever besides top 40 radio to get whatever tickles you in terms of genres or styles or various artists.

70s high thigh panties/bikinis are back! C.lee knows what i'm talking about.

RIP Andy Sidaris.

I did finally end up watching A Quiet Place, it was good. To be able to convey so much with next to no dialogue is something a lot of films could learn from. Overall, I'd call it tense, and enjoyable. Just like any movie, it had it's flaws, but it was nice to see another modern horror flick that wasn't a cookie cutter movie.

Too many movies run together, and get muddy for me anymore. I can still turn off my brain, and enjoy popcorn action flicks, and jump scare horror movies. I just appreciate the movies that deviate a little.

Really good, just not all time great, but not all films have to reach for that level of impact. It's a nice tight film on a smaller scale than a lot of sci/fi horror films.

I might be in your citay in a few weeks. Keep them phone lines open, fam.

I still like Signs for that reason. Over use of plot twists from M. Night Shamylan aside, and given it was flawed. It was a claustrophobic alien invasion movie that didn't turn into a big CGI fest. I want more down to Earth alien invasion movies that follow a small group of people confined to a limited amount of locations.

We've already had so many big budget, CGI driven, Bay explosion movies. Seeing something closer to what you, and your family and friends would go through is more tense to me.

This is why I appreciate the hell out of THE MIST. Also... I know a lot **** on that ending but... THAT IS REAL HORROR. Really. That's horror at it's rawest and it has nothing to do with a big dude in a mask that can't be killed with a carving knife or a boogie man from your dreams or any other supernatural threat. Yes the story had interdimensional creatures but that moment was about a no win situation that could have been anything and making a decision that rips at one's soul.

But that's me. YMMV.

You're not alone. I wouldn't say I loved it, but I liked the Mist too. The ending was memorable. That after having to make such a horrible choice, it was proved pointless seconds later.

I don't mention that IRL as everyone I know who saw that hated the movie, mostly for the ending. "That was stupid, if he would just have waited a few minutes", is the most common response I've heard.

But that's the point. In real life you sometimes are in a ****** situation, and make choices based on what you know in the here, and now. Then hindsight can prove those to be the wrong choices shortly after. We're flawed, and I appreciate when movies show that. Not in cartoony, over the top ways, but flawed human ways.

Yeah, most people I've talked to have the same response and... I just don't get it. But then I'm not a horror aficiando. I frankly was a fraidy cat as a kid (and I think the Catholic upbringing had a lot to do with that... As a kid, demons, the devil, possession... That **** was REAL to me) so I never developed a taste for them. Now that I'm older... Supernatural stuff doesn't really "scare" me. But psychological horror that's visceral and emotionally wrecking? That does a number on me and I also appreciate when a film "goes there" simply because so much of film these days is all about ingratiating themselves to the audience.

So many Londons, next thing you'll notice is one in Atlantis.

Get yourself over here!

I'll do that, and hope customs don't bother me in check up.

Good luck, and if in doubt put on your Elton John outfit and you’ll sail through.

That's why I listen mostly to folk and blues these days.

Still one of my favorite movies.

Exactly. I loved The Mist, mostly. Basically the only bits I didn't care for are the lack of decent CGI. I know Frank wasn't that familiar with using the stuff, but...it was bad when it came out and still bad a decade later.
