The Fog is a classic.

I love The Fog but I'd read that the Blu-Ray transfer is dog-sh*t. Is this a case of numptys getting on the amazon review pages with little or no understanding?

Best looking I've seen it.
I don't know what some people expect from Blu Ray...for characters to come out ot the screen and boot them in the nuts?

Best looking FOG I've seen,especially the daytime coastal and lighthouse scenes...

Thanks for the info! The Fog on BR is now a must have!

It's a shame that it's another Optimum release with bugger all in the way of extras.

I like Assualt on Precint 13 and the very similar themed Ghosts of Mars. I love films with a survive against the odds theme.
The Fog's a great film , a genuine horror classic.

So do I. It's one of the reasons why I'm such a zombie movie fan. I do like siege stories; putting disparate people together, in a crisis, and see how it pans out. Night, Dawn and Day excel at that. JC's movies too. Prince of Darkness was cool like that - the whole maths vs religion aspect was surprisingly creepy. Both PoD and GoM get ridiculed but I like both very much. The Fog is one of my all time favourite movies.

A quick geek question; Are there any recordings available of the Coup deVille's music that Stevie plays in the radio station? I have a dodgy "complete" Fog OST and an actual Coup deVille album (MP3). The latter is JC and company's attempt at a pop rock album. It's no better or worse than anything Harold Faltermeyer came up with. I know The Fog stuff from them is a little odd but it's the sort of music you play to see if anyone recognises it.

just finished watching STARMAN, it's been a while since i'd seen it and i thoroughly enjoyed it. Its like Carpenter's E.T and Close Encounters rolled into one, a beautiful film.

It's far better than E.T. I feel. That Spielberg movie is just a little too emotionally manipulative for me. JC's Starman doesn't ram that stuff at you, it's just there for you to feel or gloss over. Spielberg hits you with emotion like a Jack Hammer, mainly thanks to a incredibly moving score by John Williams.

i agree with you dude, Williams can make me cry like a little girl, his score for Schindler's list is epic.

but this is a carpenter thread and must stick to carpenter related stuff so Jack Nitzsche score for Starman is phenomenal.

Nitzsche's score is brilliant in Starman. He gives it an otherwordly atmosphere yet can move us with the theme that accompanies the resurrection of the Deer. Very touching. I'm a big girl's blouse when it comes to score to scenes.
