The Giant Claw

Descent premise, two of my favorite actors ( Jeff Morrow & Mara Corday) but terrible, laughable special effects.

I just love to watch this movie.

Get out the popcorn and a giant class of Zero Coke!

Oh my!

I live The Giant Claw and I have a huge crush on Mara Corday. Haha!

Giant Claw is so much fun. It's really solid story telling...and then they show us the creature. Absolutely, horrendously bad!

She certainly puts her extensive voice and piano playing talents on display live, doesn't she? I remember being surprised at the laser-beam intensity she levels at the audience. It's like she's often watching you more than you're watching her. Always impressed by her Live at Montreux 1991 solo live performance.

I think Little Earthquakes, Under the Pink, Scarett's Walk & The Beekepper are stand out albums. What's a few of your favorite Amos songs?

Not seen the Giant Claw,looks terrifying.::big grin::

Another one of mine is The Incredible Melting Man,though this one isnt a bad movie,in fact it boasted at the time some ground breaking effects,some of the acting is shite though,the main two being the nurse at the beginning and the general.

The kids playing are also sub par but overall i love this movie,when i first saw it at the cinema it blew me away,now a few decades on it hasn't got that same wow factor but it still holds a special place in my heart.

I really enjoy The Incredible Melting Man. The FX are early Rick Baker, and naturally they are pretty impressive. Brief but welcome appearances from Cheryl " Rainbeaux " Smith, Janus Blythe and Detroit Tiger pitcher Mickey Lolich(???) make this a fun watch. Yeah, as you said Anthro, some of the performances are a bit sub par, but still, it's a nice effort.

No doubt, Sculpt, Tori is a riveting performer. The first time I saw her live I was really surprised at how much she connects to the audience, and its not through lively banter and laughs, though she can handle that stuff as well.

My favorite Tori Amos songs? Many, but my tops would be Marianne and Rattlesnakes. In fact, Rattlesnakes is my favorite LLoyd Cole song too, so I must really adore that tune. I also have a soft spot for Corn Flake Girl, but it's mostly due to it being a song a friend of mine sings spectacularly at Kaoroke.::big grin::
