A Few Interesting Links

Thanks to lannamichaels for mentioning this (and basically summing up exactly my thoughts on it) in her LJ, or I never would have known. A couple months back, I mentioned I heard about a new movie involving Methos, Amanda, and Joe called Highlander: Reunion? Where Methos is supposed to be getting married? Well, looks like it’s now up over at Hulu--it’s only 16 minutes long, and can be watched here. It doesn’t really seem like Amanda would be keeping a stripper pole in the bedroom, if we were going by the canon of the series...

Over at metaquotes, they’ve got an interesting discussion going about 80’s movies that scarred children for life. I agree with Return to Oz, but I’ve never seen The Neverending Story, Labyrinth, or The Dark Crystal before. And an interesting TV Tropes article found in all those comments: Nightmare Fuel.

I’ve also thought of something to add to my wish list, but I won’t, since I’ve already linked my list at wish_list and holiday_wishes. Basically, if anyone out there ever finds a bittorrent of House of Frankenstein 1997, I would love it if someone could let me know. I’ve looked, and have yet to find it anywhere--other than a burned to DVD copy somewhere at Ioffer, but I’ve been informed Ioffer isn’t reliable.

ETA: Just stumbled across this a few minutes ago, so I had to add it. The Top 11 Scariest Nostalgic Moments. Includes Ghostbusters, and Darby O’Gill And The Little People’s banshee. The rest are movies I’ve either never seen before (Willy Wonka, Poltergeist) or never seen more than a moment of. Or that I don’t remember at all—Big Bertha from Pee Wee Herman’s movie. I think I’ve seen it, but the only thing I remember is he rode a bicycle.

It's a funny review, but might not be safe for work because of some language used.
