Very cool. I have two John Ford's penciled in for tonight as I've got the place to myself, but I'm tempted to go with a Friday or two... As much as I love The Burning, director Tony Maylam's claim that the film was written before Friday the 13th came out is frankly ludicrous...

didn't even know till you mentioned that it is Friday the 13th.

no movies today but just got these two books from charity shop for £1 each

Can a mod please ban Ant for this :D

Sorted.

He's gone. :cool:

Not really, I didn't get around to them for ages.

Hated the first so much, but from then on they're solid by the numbers slashers.

Now I'm embarrassed to say I haven't seen the Exorcist, though I'm really not looking to, as it will never live up to the hype I've spent my whole life hearing about it being pant shittingly terrifying, and my brother and his girlfriend attempted to watch it the other night, got about 2 thirds in before they said it was boring and stopped.

But then again, my brother despises Suspiria with a furious passion and refuses to watch any other Italian horror, and found the original Halloween and Dawn Of The Dead to be very meh in his books.

Dem, ban Fuzzybritchers too :D :lol:

I'll let Nos have the pleasure of that following those Exorcist comments. :lol:

Good point, he's probably working on his Executioners speech right now :lol:

At the risk of having to ban myself, I'm not a fan of the Friday franchise at all, really.

I've seen them all at least once, and that's more than enough for me! ;)

I was planning to, but I think it's probably best to wait until I get them all on Blu-ray now. I may give them all a watch during October, closer to Halloween. If not, I think there's another Friday the 13th in December too...

I undoubtedly expect it to drop in price, but personally I'd kind of like it now, with the Crystal Lake Memories documentary coming out the timing feels right. I also have a feeling when the Paramount / Warner deal ends, we might not see another set for a while, after all, Paramount have been sitting on HD Masters of the rest of the films for some time and only bothered releasing the first 3. Even if they did eventually get around to releasing a set themselves, unless they work something out with Warners, the New Line titles won't be on it, and considering how Paramount have treated these films in the past, I'd be extremely surprised when they did get around to releasing a new set, that we'd get anything other than the R rated versions for the majority of the films.

It's kind of nice to have the Paramount Fridays, and the New Line entries all in one set. This is the first I've seen it done, and it'll do me until Paramount get their act together, which I'm certainly not holding my breath for.
