I don't know why, but I imagine some money hoarding millionaire coming up with a complicated system for keeping his bundles of cash and gold bars safe: in his secluded mansion on the hill, an upstairs bedroom contains a safe, hidden behind a painting - one of Rene Magritte's, love his work. In fa...

Betsy Palmer should have gotten an Oscar for the look at 0:30 alone. The perfect Wish You Were Here - oh wait, you are! greeting card photo. Then at 0:35, she does the same demented leering that Jason later does in Part 3 to Chris in the barn when he lifts up his mask to free himself from the noo...

forget Fuchs, since Blair dug an impressive tunnel down to that UFO ice cave. He could have made another way out to the Norwegian camp, grabbed a charred corpse, hauled it back and planted it in the snow with a pair of Fuchs-style glasses. So Fuchs might be bursting out of nowhere at MacReady and...

Worlds collide.

Perhaps the deer remembered a time before Taco Mac, when that land was nice, peaceful wilderness, and got stuck in frolick mode, only to encounter the glass door. At least the deer appeared to be fine, and no one was hurt. The children eating there can go to school the next day a...

This movies salutes the power of the beard, dressing in layers, an old west hat, dark shades, and blasting jets of fire at creatures whose idea of a cozy night's sleep is to hunker down inside a snow drift, or ice cave. They also want to eat you alive, and use your nutrients to shape themselves i...

A lot of psychology in this scene. Not only is it visually striking, with that huge, beautiful room a character unto itself, it offers a look into Bruce Wayne's soul. He's sitting alone in the moonlit darkness of that huge room that's really more of a cavern; the Bat in him seeking comfort. The o...

He's gibbering in the beginning, and then at 0:05 he catches sight of the charred gangster like he actually fucking forgot about him smoking like a stomped out campfire in the chair. That look, Yessss, that's right, I still have to go over and riff all over your corpse! Hot damn!

At least if I'm attacked by a Thing, then like with Windows it will have to choke on my beard before the main course. Enjoy the taste, Cthulhu. Would love to be feeling my way along a dark hallway in a haunted house and come upon a room with this scene going on, the couch jumping up and down like...

What's freaky about this set-up is his whole body is now plaster white, not just the face and hands. Facial nerve damage aside, he was fucked the moment he went into the vat of acid. I want a scene where he emerges from the chemicals and staggers dripping...wherever he went before the surgeon. Be...

@wtcvidman "Few have seen him and lived - I can testify to that one" Crazy Ralph should have lived a bit longer. Would have loved to see him pop up in the barn at the end of Part 3 to save Chris. When you think about it, the Friday series really missed the boat on the topic of narration, though. ...

@spiritgirl41192 That's true. I need to watch that movie again. Nobody beats Burton when it comes to Sleepy Hollow or Batman. Now if only he would make a movie combining those two worlds. The Dark Knight battles the Headless Horseman while poor old Ichabod comes face to face with the Joker. Ah, a...

This is how Roald Amundsen got to the South Pole so quickly - with THING sled dogs! An infected Huskie like Jed was lurking in the icy wastes, pouncing as the Norwegians flew by on skis. Thing-Amundsen then went with his alien crew to Australia to tell the world, thus kick starting Doomsday. So i...

A scene like this makes me jump from the Ghost side of the fence to the Devil. The way that whip comes lashing in like the tentacle of some creature to snare the thug, dragging him into the dark for punishment. He put his own soul on the chopping block by diving head first into a life of evil, so...

Though Eastwood himself must still hear some of Morricone's music in his head at least once a day, that's about the human version. This eerie theme is about the ghost, or the devil come to Lago. Usually I think he's a ghost - doesn't really have to be of that Marshall, could just be the ghost of ...

I love how I'm still noticing new things about this movie, like how Jason's shack resembles Norman's motel parlor from Psycho. Main room, then that door to the left leading back to the milk and sandwiches nook, which in this case is the severed head and dead cop room. When Jason chops through the...

Eastwood sure taught these thugs a lesson, sitting in their town made from yellow boards and the sweat of weasels. Then they trade yellow for red so that the place literally becomes what it had been only figuratively. At night you could probably hear the Wendigo's cry from the lonely pine trees o...

He was Duncan's spirit given a new flesh disguise or an avenging angel sent to get some justice. If Eastwood had truly been Satan, he wouldn't have given a damn how pure Sarah Belding was or how noble Mordecai. He would have rounded them all up his first night there for a much different kind of p...

What the hell is wrong with me? I've got a bigger beard than Lebowski does in this video, but still no sweater! How can I expect to look like a proper mountain man living on the fringes of a bizarre, soap opera society without that outfit? I think if I don't have it by wintertime, I'll just shave...

While I think Ledger's nameless Joker was a good portrayal of "realistic" insanity, Nicholson's Napier turned Joker holds more true to the spirit of how he's supposed to be. Filming his own little psychotic commercial in one of his torture cubbyholes? He's got the dead models there with him, pran...

Ace's narration is hilarious. "While I was trying to figure out why the guy was saying what he was saying, Nicky just hit (violently stabbed repeatedly in the throat with a pen) him." I can picture other extreme understatements and outright lies, like at dinner later: "While I was trying to figur...

@Tripo1iSamson It's about time Norris Spider Head, Blair Monster and Palmer Venus Flytrap start paying visits to any director who loads his movie up with awful CGI. They'll see Bay first, then George Lucas. Lucas will probably even go back and set right the changes he made to the original Star Wa...

While there were a few choice movies to come out the summer of '82 that served as direct competition to this, I still think it deserved a lot better than it got from critics and the viewing public. To put it this way, what other movie can make you feel sweet, sweet dread whenever you take a walk ...

'Cause this theme is diff'ernt than us, see, 'cause it's from outer space.

MacReady washes his hands of the discussion, then Blair jumps in with his theory: Well, what we're talkin' about here is a theme that imitates other lifeforms, and it imitates 'em perfectly. Now Fuchs, but reading from Bl...

An ominous quality here, what with this flowered wallpaper that apparently has the power to captivate these guys the way that crusty old yellow wallpaper did with the poor woman from The Yellow Wallpaper. Beware guys, there's insanity in the staring, and sometimes if you look long enough, creatur...

I've come to realize that there's nothing much here for me in Society, so maybe it's time for Antarctica. I'd like to say I'm a man of Science, like Blair and Fuchs, and I'd certainly like to say I'm a rugged, take charge Copter pilot with a hat that resembles a UFO (though I do have the beard) b...

For some reason I love how his "four coffins" hand gesture turns into a beard rub at the end of the video. Maybe he does it just after gunning someone down, and it recharges his luck meter for the next time, kind of like rubbing a lucky rabbit's foot.

2:38: Why sure, Doc, I don't have any problem putting what could be a tentacle sprouting alien who just ax-murdered all of our dogs in my shack. Be loads of fun! Once you stop hearing from me, feel free to come on out and check, but don't bother bringing the guns or flamethrowers. The two of us a...

Maybe the hourglass has a different amount of sand in it, and now it's 1985-86 again. No more smooth shaped cars made of plastic, everything on the road is a K5 Blazer that Thor's hammer couldn't dent, and when the cassette tape gets eaten you just turn on the radio. Good thing, too. It's predict...

According to Yahoo - not a bastion of research, true - sunspots are disappearing on the Sun. Some scientists predict a new Ice Age, but what we need is a new 1980s. This song brand new on the radio, pizza and Super Mario Brothers at Chuck E. Cheese, then later at home when you finally get Nintend...

2:38 makes me wary of ever putting my legs under my computer desk again. The thought of the Norris-crab-leg-head Thing down there, waiting for toes. Then my Internet connection fails, and I look under there to see it chewing on the cords! 2:48, MacReady appears to be losing it from staring at the...

What a bittersweet song from a band that can do no wrong, in my opinion. I wonder whatever became of Starship's Sara. I hope when I finally meet mine we're not fire and ice but the blue hour and evening itself, when you celebrate the end of another fine day with dinner and lovemaking. Let the ice...
