Bad Otter Fingers

Managed to snag an X from Microsoft store. Was slow but eventually checked out.

Theres no way Martyrs could work as a PG13 unless they change it drastically. The original left me feeling depressed and uneasy for days, probably the only movie to ever have done so.

I got the 'He's Unstoppable' cheevo (finish first level of Halo CE on legendary without taking health damage) on my first go but I DIED shitloads! That achievement took me ages to get on 360.

'Under the Skin' (Jonathan Glazer's nekkid ScarJo sci-fi flick) is up in Canada, gonna watch it tonight.

Is Re-Animator still cut to ribbons in the UK? Great flick, I remember importing the lime green US DVD years ago!

Thought this was pretty shite. Dude had obviously read Rawhead Rex, Rats in the Walls and watched the aforementioned Ken Russell film. Boring first hour, appalling acting aside from Gordon Kennedy (did his subplot have anything to do the main story?). Final sequence was too drawn out as well and the ending was just plain daft.

Reckon Carol could've been covering up for psycho kid? She could've killed the two sick ones, Carol dragged 'em out and burned the bodies and took the rap for her...

Why do people keep saying this? Didn't they show Carol murdering those peeps and burning their bodies? Or am I misremembering?

Wasn't Rab Florence going to be one of the writers for the aborted final series? And didn't he also have a web series about board games? Hmmm...

Just had mine delivered from Simply. Have you folks looked at the reverse of the cover? Much better!

Sepulchre and The Spear were the shit!

It kinda reminded me of 'Human Remains' by Clive Barker. The living statue in that story adopts the characteristics and appearance of its victim by discrete observation. The rent boy character also finds the statue in a bath.

Yep. That would be a pretty epic mid-season finale, eh?

Holy shit just a had thought (pure speculation)

Who's just started smoking a shit ton again? And what's behind the light switch?

Awesome, the kid from Saxondale / Lead Balloon!

Isnae Sigourney's character deid?

So it's not a mastermind after all? Idris Elba am disappoint.

Another thing

was the blood being drained into the lower levels the actual blood of the victims or more of a symbolic thing? The survival of Shaggy would seem to suggest the latter but surely the ancient ones wanted the blood of the five different personality types?

Yes, that's the point. It's not each country trying to stop a local apocalypse. Each one is trying to complete the sacrifice. They aren't really competing in a meaningful way. Just a sort of friendly rivalry, I suppose. Like making bets in the office. If any one of them succeeds, the world is saved. It doesn't matter if all but one fail, as long as one doesn't. If they all fail, goodbye world. At the start, everyone apart from Japan and the US had failed. Then Japan failed, leaving the US as the last hope.

So although each country has their own elder god below, the ritual must fail in in all locations then all gods will rise? Are they linked somehow so that one successful ritual will satiate all the other gods worldwide?

That's all covered neatly.

The other countries just have a rivalry and race to see who can complete the sacrifice. During the course of the film every other country failed.

Anyway, I absolutely loved it. Best horror film I've seen in a loooong time and you can't beat a good horror film.

Um, wasn't it the fact that they didn't complete the sacrifice that caused the apocalypse?

What I didn't get was the whole

competing with other countries thing. Was there an ancient one underground in each country? Why did the other failures not result in end-of-world god waker-uppening? Also in Japan were there like 30 identical tablets for the schoolkids? etc

. I don't really think the film's as smart as the hype is making out.

You've probably already seen it but King of Kong is on UK (but not USA) Netflix atm. Ace docu.

Could some please PM me with the file location? Wanna check if I'm on there (no email yet). Ta.

If the wife had been turned then why did she shoot at the cult members?

Secret of Mana on the SNES had no way of erasing any the 3 slots either, remember it bugging me before I sold it on.

Sounds like Goodnight Sweetheart.
