Elvis is probably right, even if they do go out of print in like 10 years or so they'll put out some kind of anniversary special or horror classic package.

Yeah, that Alky is unpredictable, irresponsible, and a complete slave to his appetites...

I hope you guys have held onto your VHS copies of TCM. Its definatley a film that looks better on high quality VHS than it does on DVD.

DVDs contain a lot of shit in extras that kill the intended reaction to the film. TCM, Maniac, Mother's Day and The Prowler are films that the old as fuck versions are the one to have. My reason is that those films spoke for themselves in a unique way and were rawer than anything at the time. The cleaned up tones of DVD versions wash out alot of the visual soul of these films and all the extras try to explain the unexplainable.

DVDs almost become a status symbol. Action films make three times the revenue because of macho packaging and extras. "My tuff guy movie has three disks while yours has only two" drives hyponotised "movie lovers" unto mental debt trying to compete to have the REAL fan's editon.

VHS just reminds me of simpler times when movies were still magic. The art world in all facits has become stagnent because of of over analising.

....something I need to say better but i'm drunk as fuck thinking spewin out thoughts that read by me in the morning will be dyslexic smotherings of a good idea.

So there's a chance TCM will go out of print? I guess I'd better pick up a copy then. Even if it is just a rumor, better safe than sorry. Okay, here's my ranking:

Original
TCM2
Remake
Leatherface
Next Generation

It really seems like Next Generation is one of the most hated movies out there.

Good to see! Its a film that gets WAY to much shit and is really underated. Dennis Hopper and Bill Mosley are great in that flick.

The Next Generation is underrated, and clearly the wheels of the bandwagon are rolling again here.

McConaughey and Zellwegger are just fine in the lead roles, and though the film is less violent and terrifying than the first (proving the rawness and cheap production values of the original helped to emphasise the horror) this virtual remake (in the Evil Dead/Evil Dead 2 sense) is slick and nasty enough for a second evaluation.

My conclusions for this unneccessary derision: general disdain for the movie's now A-list stars, comparison to the unsurpassable original, negative word-of-mouth.

Viewed as a standalone horror film, this is good stuff - and much less irritating than the postmodern self-referential shit like Scream that it preceded.

Now then -Halloween 3...

;)
