No love for Someone's Watching Me? Bloody great for a TV movie!

It's definitely a hard one to call for my fave Carpenter. It's between Halloween, The Thing, Escape From New York, Assault On Precinct 13, The Fog and Prince Of Darkness. They Live is good fun too.

They're all so good and unique in their own right. I hope we see a full-on return to form sometime because he really has deserved legendary status.

Assault looks pretty damn good on Blu-Ray too!

What won in the end? Tom Atkins or Natasha Henstridge?

Tom Atkins won but it was close, Henstridge almost made the dvd player but Atkins was closer...

Carpenter is definitely my favorite director - Favorite film would probably be a tie between Escape From NY and The Fog. But I watch them all as often as I can. His soundtracks are absolutely amazing - No one does it better.

That looks great, the version I have is pretty dodgy. May have to upgrade when I have some cash.

At some point I need to fill the gaps in my collection I'm going for all JC's theatrical releases.

I've actually never bought a version of Dark Star because I don't think there have been any that been really good from what I've read and heard. This one definitely sounds like it's the one.

Keith David was great fun in that too, the dialogue was witty and fun.

Still not bored of this film.

Was Roddy P in any other movie worth watching?
