Re: FRIDAY THE 13TH...Chhh..chhh...chh...haa...haa...haa
In sequence: Jason / one / tie between eyeball pop and fist through chest (I think in part 3?) / steaming turd / no idea. I liked the Halloween series much more than Friday.

Re: Television
Things I don't miss: The Daily Show , Real Time with Bill Maher , Game Of Thrones , The Walking Dead , Sherlock . The first 3 more so than the last 2 (tried to get into The Walking Dead several times, but never really caught the vibe). I wish we didn't have to wait a year between seasons of GoT, bu...

Re: B-Movies
Of the more recent releases, Hobo With a Shotgun , although that one is more of a B-movie tribute than a B-movie in itself. Most (if not all) Lovecraft-inspired movies are also B-movies. The Reanimator , From Beyond , The Unnamable , Dagon and Chtulhu are among the better known. I would recommend al...

Re: Beware! For I am armed with new dark knowledge
However, a buddy of mine, the same one who originally introduced me to Banks, introduced me to a new (he says "maybe better than Banks" :o ) author. He's actually a Finnish guy living in Scotland and writing in both English and Finnish. His name is Hannu Rajaniemi . So, I ordered his first 2 books ...

Re: If you could commission a tale...
A. Stephen King B. Misery C. Rewrite from actual experience (mwahahahaha...) Alternatively it'd be Charles Stross, and I'd just make him write and write. Good call on making LoTR interesting to read. I also think Arthur Conan Doyle could be persuaded to do a Lovecraftian rewrite of Sherlock Holmes, ...

Re: King Kong Cthulhu
I don't think it's that clear cut. The great Nigel Kneale wrote a TV play called "The Creature" which Hammer later re-filmed as "The Abominable Snowman" about a man who wanted to capture a Yeti, yet it is not even remotely Pulp. The man's obsession and his destruction of a sentient life-form in the...

Re: Lovecraft Documentary
Saw it on YouTube a few weeks ago. A lot of good commentary from modern authors inspired by Lovecraft, including Neil Gaiman and Peter Straub. Gaiman's comments alone make it worth watching. Not sure about the accuracy (I assume you mean the accuracy of Lovecraft's biographical data), since that's n...

Re: Call of Cthulhu vs Dungeons and Dragons
All fair points, but remember that a D&D (or any) game is only as good/lousy as the guy who runs it. Sure, the system is geared toward a hack&slash style of play, but an intelligent player can achieve just as much through roleplaying and a well-thought-out selection of skills. Munchkinism and power-...
