Dammit! No good. Sites dead. Was a good try.

Did anyone catch the premiere of Hannibal? I found it to be intriguing and actually offer more than the basic CSI crap. They used Hannibal in moderation which just keeps us wanting more. Smart tactic. If it keeps up this way this might be a show worth investing in.

Remember seeing a movie and just finding it a delight? Then years later you go back and view it again and that magic just seemed to have faded? Maybe the last time you saw it you were having a good time? Getting a blow from a swedish hooker or stoned out of your gord and thought you were riding a flying pony instead of actually watching that movie you had playing on the telly.

Well post your freshly severed from film faves item here and tell us the details.

I shall start. Last night I sat down and put my pristine copy of 28 Weeks Later into the DVD player to enjoy great zombie mayhem (and don't start with the "they weren't zombies" shit, save that for another thread, only to find that this film I thought was a good work was actually pretty flawed and a challenge to sit through at times. What happened in the past few years that downgraded what I thought was a gem of a flick? The shoddy camera work, horrid editing and just execution of this story built up to a less than enjoyable viewing experience. Sure some scenes were cool but overall it just seemed arduous viewing. Scenes I thought were cool the first time around just felt less than this time around. Something tells me the issue is in the Directing. Danny Boyle should have helmed this and not passed it off to a hack.

Oh well, Back to the DVD shelf for you 28 weeks later. Maybe in 28 months from now you will seem like a masterpiece once again.

Discuss.

This place closed and I was fine with it. Things had died down anyhoo and now you are reviving it? Is there a real push to get this place back now or the same old waiting game? I don't watch as many horror movies these days so not sure how much I can contribute. Doubt I will be around much but I will drop in to say hi. Plus, to PM Kash and see how that lil honey is doing lately.
