Comment on 31 Days of Halloween: A Nightmare On Elm Street 3 by Adam http://www.thegeekcouch.com/2011/10/20/31-days-of-halloween-a-nightmare-on-elm-street-3/comment-page-1/#comment-1001 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 22:25:59 +0000 http://www.thegeekcouch.com/?p=9599#comment-1001 The scene you pictured at the top of this post… Wow! That scene has lived with me for years… and years… and years…

Believe it or not, my dad actually let me watch this with him when he rented it in ’87-’88. Yeah.. i was like 5-6 years old.

The boobs may have been the primary reason the scene stuck with me. At that age, I certainly hadn’t seen much to those. ;) I remember actually being afraid of blonde-haired women for a while after watching this…. fearing they’d tie me up with tongues and kill me.

Thanks for the throwback to my childhood.

Comment on Movie Review: Four Boxes by makeswork http://www.thegeekcouch.com/2010/10/13/movie-review-four-boxes/comment-page-1/#comment-897 Thu, 21 Jul 2011 21:47:13 +0000 http://www.thegeekcouch.com/?p=4934#comment-897 Four Boxes is mis-categorized as “horror” – it’s more “mind-bender” than anything. I’d say this movie is twisted, funny, suspenseful, well-acted, and smartly written. Clearly you’re not down for any subtlety or irony in your movie scripts. I think the dialogue you despise was, on the contrary, MEANT to seem shallow – the quality of the acting, and of the relationships revealed gradually by the movie’s progression, reveals that these characters WISH they could be other than the shallow people they’re becoming. That’s the tragedy that’s going on here, and the social commentary the movie is trying to get at (if only you’d let it) – a wry commentary on the mind-numbing banality of conventional, dead-end, strip-mall-defined suburban living and the people stuck within it. I found the subplot of the characters’ relationships with each other to be as engaging and suspenseful as the main plot surrounding the “internet killer.” I thought the pacing and editing could have been improved (you’re right about that) and I also had some issues with the ending – it seemed too quick, and maybe too easy, but it was more about disappointment and the stupid waste of these kids’ lives than about providing us, the audience, with an opportunity to get our horror movie rocks off. If that’s what you want most from a movie, then, no, this movie won’t deliver. If you’re interested in smart dialogue and character development (yes, disguised as dumb dialogue – get it?), good acting, and a view on our current cultural landscape that derides any easy answers, plus suspense and humor, you’ll find it here.

Now he’s doing an online review show with me. check it out out http://www.twojewsonfilm.com or youtube.com/user/twojewsonfilm. We review films, usually disagree and rate them with bagels…one to five

Comment on Between a Waffle and a Hard Place: An Outsider’s Take On Kevin Smith by sleestakk http://www.thegeekcouch.com/2011/01/24/between-a-waffle-and-a-hard-place-an-outsiders-take-on-kevin-smith/comment-page-1/#comment-815 Mon, 24 Jan 2011 21:32:24 +0000 http://www.thegeekcouch.com/?p=4981#comment-815 Thoughtful article, Sean. I’m sure you feel a lot better getting that off your chest. I’ve managed to stay out of your ongoing KS convo b/c I was never certain where you stood; one day you’re selling all your DVDs, the next day you’re praising Smith. Kinda confusing. But at least you touched on that here. And your position is much clearer now.

I haven’t formed an opinion yet. Just sidelining until we see more chips fall. It’s interesting that Smith gave up providing free speaking gigs (college tours, comic conventions, etc) when he realized he could charge $50 a ticket and still sell out. Figured it wouldn’t take too long before he starting milking that cash cow but I miss seeing him speak at the Cons.
