I like to watch lots 'o horror movies during october and it's a good excuse to track down some of the ones I haven't seen yet (Deep Red, The Funhouse, The Old Dark House etc) as well as revisit old favorites like Bride of Frankenstein and Dawn of the Dead.<BR/><BR/>I'm also hoping that HD-DVD wins this format war if I ever have the financial means to invest in it. Just browsing the lists of titles seems to idicate that Toshiba is aiming to please older folks and more dedicated film fans as well as the average consumer with their HD choices. Sony just seem to be catering Blu-Ray discs exclusively to people who don't know/care about the difference between widescreen and fullscreen. I'm love to get ahold of Casablanca, Forbidden Planet or Goodfellas, but I can't really understand the appeal of seeing 50 First Dates in sparkling film-like clarity in my living room.Dr. Criddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05181732644649615771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18377389.post-1161323887240828702006-10-20T01:58:00.000-04:002006-10-20T01:58:00.000-04:00A side trek to the Field Museum while Chicago for ...A side trek to the Field Museum while Chicago for the Film Festival stuff, plus just a need to re-watch it again puts me in the mood for the classic version <I>The Mummy</I> with Karloff. I might have to do a raid to your place and reclaim my DVD. Also on the list of possibilities are <I>Session 9</I>, <I>The Thing</I>, and <I>Bubba Ho-Tep</I>. There's also an outstanding tradition that the Anime Club watches <I>Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust</I> and seeing as Halloween falls on the night we have club meetings, who's to say what'll happen there.<BR/>Finally, since we're on the topic of Anime and this is the Trim Bin; all those who might be interested, keep December 3rd, 9PM free. MCLA Anime club will be having a 35mm screeing of <I>Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind</I> at Images!<BR/>(Apologies for rambling alot)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
