Not just so I can read your fine site, but more so that I don't feel like such a nerd by being efficient.<br /><br />And Ashlee, this is one of those perennial AMC rotations and while no ratings cuts would be necessary, the pacing and mood are so important that I would definitely say it's better to just sit through it without interruptions. I definitely understand your point about doll flicks. You either fear them or just think they're silly. Come to think of it, Child's Play 3 sort of serves as prime reminders of what happens when you don't treat a killer doll with any gravitas but still expect to make an effective horror movie.deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003758772971289930.post-42003631647797242022010-04-07T16:48:47.496-04:002010-04-07T16:48:47.496-04:00It comes on every fall around Halloween but I didn...It comes on every fall around Halloween but I didn't wanna bother watching it cut.

Apparently Hopkins had to take Fats home before filming to get a feel for him, and was so freaked out by its resemblance that he called Attenborough at midnight to get the thing out of his house. The thing scared Hannibal Lector! How can you be so brave???<br /><br />Ann-Margret was only 37 in this film? Wow. She looks absolutely stunning as always, and maybe it's just that I'm so used to seeing her as a young Elvis banging teen, but I assumed she was much older here. I guess that bean bath in Tommy didn't do much for wrinkles. At least her breast looked great!<br /><br />And how DO we update so often. Not sure. A combination of uppers, inactive social lives, DVR that means no commercials ever, and sorcery. I do fear however that baseball season is going to start marring my movie watching, as the horror show that's bound to be the NY Mets will be scarier than anything on DVD.deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003758772971289930.post-66762952306044512062010-04-05T19:29:22.754-04:002010-04-05T19:29:22.754-04:00Good movie--Hopkins is excellent, and yes, Anne Ma...Good movie--Hopkins is excellent, and yes, Anne Margret looks amazing for her age(I mean, she was so old!

Not sure. But I do know that there is no love story more touching than that of Fats and Cork. RIP friends. And lovers.Andre Dumashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07170879111034420803noreply@blogger.com
