The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
~ Howard Phillips Lovecraft

The fact that you are asking me for advice about posting is evidence enough of your condition. I only know enough about such matters to be dangerous. Now, would you like me to help re-wire your house or fix your plumbing while I'm at it?

[Awright, Biggles, here's me own top 10:
CITY LIGHTS--Albert Einstein and his wife were Chaplin's guests at the premiere. Einstein wept at the closing scene. As does everyone with a heart.
2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY--The greatest sf movie ever made...and there have been =a lot= of great ones.
CASABLANCA--Don't you wish you were as cool as Rick Blaine? Honest, now.
THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE--More proof critics are useless. A John Ford masterpiece.
ROCKY--If only Stallone had followed through on the promise he showed here.
THE BLUE ANGEL--Keep yer splatter flicks--=this= is horror.
OH!-WHAT A LOVELY WAR--World War One as a musical comedy, with an all-star British cast. Forgotten, and I do not understand why. Not available on DVD, and I do not understand why.
ALIENS 2--I've seen this flick as often as I've seen the Kinks in concert, over 10 times. And like Ray Davies and his men, it never disappoints. If you don't feel righteous delight when Ripley uses the power-loader to protect little Newt from the alien queen...well, I see little hope for you.
THE 39 STEPS--Hitchcock at his finest. He made splashier films, but never a better one.
WHITE HEAT--Great cast, great script, great everything.
"Wait--that's ten already? But what about..." (The bluesman struggles as burly attendants drag him away.)

Thank you, Jimbow. I feel much better now...I think.

Well, now that you mention it, my bathroom sink...

Hell, yeah, I'll fix it! And I'll do your frontal lobotomy, as long as I have a bottle in front o' me! But seriously, do you think I would have gone to law school if I had any marketable skills?

Another Kinks fan! And I have only seen them live twice. Ray Davies (All right, a personal opinion) is the best songwriter who ever lived. Someone (I forget who, but it was someone famous...) said that while he was writing love songs Ray was writing 3 1/2 minute plays, and that is about it.
Oh, and as for "naughty, naughty Newt" just I was starting to think we all had nothing in common, well!
Mind you, for the unitiated the Newt I refer to is NOT the one that Sigourney Weaver was protecting from the alien queen, if I felt the same way about her as I do about MY Newt I should deserve to be locked up.
Speaking of Sigourney Weaver, anyone remember Ghost Busters, when Sigourney is writhing about on the bed, being possesed and says "Do you wnat this body?" and Bill Murray just looks and says "Er, is that a trick question?", classic line, truly a classic line.

Oh (Yeah me again) while I think of it, someone mentioned The Blue Angel as best horror film. Well, yes it is truly scary but the only film that has ever really had a horrific impression on me is the original black and white The Haunting. Anyone seen it? If not do try. Forget your splatter flicks, few SFX and no gore at all, but the scene when the two women (Claire Bloom and ?) have been holding hands cos they are so scared and then realise how far apart their beds are, now THAT made an impression on me!

Count me in. I dig the Kinks, in fact I have been jamming to them for the past week or so in my car. The forgotten child of the British Invasion.
