This back and forth reminds me of what my boyfriend said after Paranormal Activity 2:


[SPOILERS]



Why would a demon waste its time taking the pool cleaner out of the pool? I mean, REALLY? I'm an unholy demon from the depths of the darkest unknown... Ooo! There's a pool cleaner - Flip it out of the pool! Tee hee!!

It just makes me crack up...



[/SPOILERS]

...back to back.

Complete entertainers. No wonder fans of Del Toro consider him to be a god amongst men. Although I could be picky and point out a few niggles in #2, such as a slightly weak story, over-imaginative characters, etc., overall it was pretty solid so yeah, let them be.


My scores - 80/100 for #1, 75/100 for #2.

Well, if you get into the history of hauntings and possessions, etc... there's plenty of that kind of nonsensical behavior... why do they bother knocking a salt shaker off the table... why do they move the shoes to the other side of the room... why do they turn the water on in the bathroom...

So, unless you want to debate the whole oeuvre of paranormal stories, I don't really see that as particular sticking point in the story.

Lee, you know that you are a valued member of this forum, and a lot of people respect your opinion on different topics, me included.

EVERYONE here gets teased about stuff. It's not meant in a malicious - at least on my part - way. Remember, your avatar says it: "Cranky".

The Town That Dreaded Sundown

Interesting movie. I like serial killer movies with the police hunting them down. The Phantom was interesting enough and the way he breathed and would stalk people made for some creepy parts but the whole movie was too light and had some misplaced comedic elements that killed the suspense. Anyway it was still pretty interesting.
