I may have mentioned it in some other thread, but as a kid I thought Alien and Outland were in the same movie universe. It helped that both novelizations were written by Alan Dean Foster, but there was the same theme of evil space corporations uniting them. The idea of a series of movies, all independent but in the same "world", was great.

Even the best scripts have had a plot hole or two, although to be fair often it was for practical reasons.

For those who actually know their Bond films, how would the Dalton films have done if Brosnan had been in them? For those who don't know (and I might not know, being old and forgetful), Brosnan was in line to play the part but NBC refused to let him out of his Remmington Steel contract. Never bothered seeing the Dalton films, but recall the first Remmington Steel episode after it all went down had Brosnan looking not happy to be there.

Well, it's going to depend on the god, isn't it

Don't see why that's bizarre. Who's going to know more about your life, you, who has stuff to do, or a stalker who has memorized your entire family tree and what you had for dinner for the past eight years?

Cannibal Holocaust is only partly found footage, though. There are others, but I think most are obscure enough that really nobody (including the creators of Blair Witch) saw them.

Maybe the writer had two scripts, one with no last act and another with no first act

They've already talked about Cabin in the Woods, so I'd rather they wait and not have the film take up one of these spots. There are movies they're only going to ever do as part of an October run, so let's get those out of the way before doing one they're guaranteed to get to eventually.

I think they decided, rightly imho, that the narration was part of the problem with Year One. It just doesn't work on film. I agree, you miss most of the best lines, but you're left with a movie that flows well and tells the story. It's the kind of tradeoff you have to do when going from the page to the screen.

So, editors get the girl. Good to know!

Think of him as a force of nature, or bureaucracy. Or the monster

Well, Salem's Lot is one of those all you young kids have ONLY seen on video, so don't remember it started on TV.

I too vote for at least one Carpenter title. Prince of Darkness is my favorite, due to the subject matter (what if God, the real one, was on the anti-matter side of things and thus "evil"?). Blair Witch would be a good one to go into how editing can create a movie out of nothing. Elm Street, yes, please, it needs to be done.

I'd toss in one classic, The Haunting, an incredible example of what you can do without actually showing anything, and in fact leaving open the possibility that NOTHING is in fact happening.

At some point you guys should do a J-Horror film, and The Ring is as good as any to stand for the entire genre.

As for Twilight Zone... This would be a Trey special, I assume

Are they? I don't get the new episodes, but like I said if they're tying this in with the 6th Doctor I will be VERY impressed
