That's not a suffix, Pete's really is THAT Sleazy!..........plus it's on his birth certificet. In other new's I was planning to go and watch Ted last night but the cue was insane so I came home and watched Beaves and Butt Head do America. Comedy gold.

[QUOTE=Gojirosan;262860]Oh yeah, some of the set pieces are well handled, true. But you could say that of the lift scene in the 2nd one. I saw that scene last night on Film4 I forgot about that one and it was well filmed and the guy's body split in half was goof sfx |

I imagine everyone knows how I feel about The Exorcist, but did a chapter on The Omen for my MA dissertation and it was basically a cash in on the success of certain religiously themed horror films in which I noted screenwriter David Seltzer admitting "I did it strictly for the money" and how it hasn't been studied in any great length and depth by film scholars – Reynold Humphreys mentions it only once in The American Horror Film: An Introduction, where he says "I see nothing to redeem The Omen whose crassness and incompetence I can only take at face value: objectionable." He criticised the gender politics but, as that was the point of my dissertation, I found his objection to the "powerful, all-knowing male" to be extremely illustrative in terms of how the film depicts the American family. Putting all that to one side, I think the term 'trash' can apply to The Omen as it isn't high art and made with the same intelligence, theological insight and realism as The Exorcist. However, I really like Jerry Goldsmith's score and some of the set pieces – especially those in which David Warbeck, Patrick Trout and Lee Remick are dispatched and consider it good fun. The remake was good fun as well, but completely pointless and clearly made for the money rather than artistic merit or because it had anything to say.
