    1. What did you think of Nightmare on Elm Street?

    1. Did you see the original Godzilla?
    2. Yes, it took my breath away.

    1. Did you see Rodan?
    2. Yes, but I thought it was a bit breezy.

    1. What did you think of Mothra?
    2. Too many monsters, too little women.

    1. How did you like Gamera?
    2. The plot had too many turns to keep track of.

    1. Did you ever see Matango?
    2. The plot seemed kind of moldy.

    1. Ever see Uzumaki?
    2. It got me all wound up.

    And let me just say, the American Haunting that flashes a ghostly image and plays scary sounds when you roll over it — as you’re two thirds asleep — is not fair.

        No one, curse their black hearts. I didn’t even realize Matango was by Honda until I looked it up last night. I just remember it when I watched it as a kid in a monster double feature. (As “Attack of the Mushroom People”.)

        No, I absolutely love that movie.

        My joke is a reference to the original fisher king story. (The Fisher King also appears in Matt Wagner’s Mage, et al.)

              Many years ago, I walked into a room on the Warner Bros. lot to meet with the head of the studio. He was in a bit of a tizzy because he had just gotten off the phone with a potential director for the first Harry Potter movie, and it had unnerved him. He said the director was a brilliant guy but whew! what a difficult director! I asked him who and he sighed and said “Terry Gilliam.”

                It’s heartening to hear that at least one studio head thought of him as brilliant.

                It does lead one to wonder how difficult the world would be if he’d signed on to the first movie.

                And then he got the job…right!?

                Frankly I feel that thew first two HPs have been very boring faliures, like watching a director who just doesn’t care, or doesn’t feel the core of the book. Harry Potter as a book can be seen as a benign Brazil… and the Half Blood Prince is a perfect match… but his name was quickly taken off Imdb actually… sooo… aheh… aheh… aHEH

                Out of curiousity, what were you at WB for?

                  A unique and unrepeated incidence of a studio head actually flying me across the country to tell me how much he liked my script.

                  The script, needless to say, remains unshot.

                      It was, of all things, a zombie movie. This is back in ’97, before the current wave of zombie movies. My zombie movie was a combination horror/action thing, kind of like The Road Warrior with zombies, and with a gang of mismatched teenagers instead of Mel Gibson.

                      Zombies and teenagers… finally together! Sounds pretty kickface… what if… it was… teenagers… AND A PACK OF FRANKENSTEINS! And more Frankensteins are made out of the dead teenagers…oooh…

                      …Lady and the Tramp… BUT WITH ZOMBIES!

    Ooh! Someone do one about ‘Adaptation’!

    • popebuck1 says:
      May 4, 2006 at 5:01 pm

      So, what did you think of Adaptation?

      (I’m sitting here trying to think of a good joke for “Adaptation” and I just can’t think of anything. I’ll go get a cup of coffee, maybe that will help. No, now I just want a donut, too. I shouldn’t have one because I’m getting fat already. Hmm, maybe my brother back in Indiana will have some idea of a funny, pithy line about “Adaptation.” I’ll call him.)
