I think of The Shining as an exceptional movie, rather than an exceptional horror movie.

Cronenberg, meanwhile, managed to create a horror subgenre all on his own.

 Wed Nov 06 02:06:42 +0000 2013

Ouch.

 Wed Nov 06 02:07:15 +0000 2013

Cronenberg made most of his films without having to worry about budgets, since he was supported by the Canadian government.

 Wed Nov 06 02:08:39 +0000 2013

This reminds me - I need to watch more Bergman.

Videodrome for me. Only gets better with repeated viewings.

But I just generally dig his style. Although he's been moving into more abstract things since the 90s.

 Wed Nov 06 02:22:08 +0000 2013

But a lot are. Especially in the 90s. Naked Lunch, M. Butterfly, Dead Ringers and, of course, Crash have strong sexual subplots.

Since my roommate just got an Amiga 500, I'll ask for him: what are the essentials he should be buying? We both know nothing about Amiga.

 Tue Nov 12 14:22:46 +0000 2013

As for games, I'd like only exclusives, unless the Amiga version is VASTLY superior to the DOS one. Cool software would be nice too.

 Tue Nov 12 14:23:56 +0000 2013

I've seen Elvira footage, the music is much cooler. But the game is slower & gfx are exactly the same.

 Tue Nov 12 14:34:32 +0000 2013

Is Waxworks better?

 Tue Nov 12 14:35:56 +0000 2013

That one was on the list already. One of the few Amiga titles I've played on the emulator. Really good.

 Tue Nov 12 14:37:12 +0000 2013

As of now I have no means of getting files from pc to Amiga, sadly.

 Tue Nov 12 14:41:59 +0000 2013

I don't think that works, due to Amiga floppies having a different format.

 Tue Nov 12 14:44:52 +0000 2013

I already own Another World since I have it for every platform I could find.

 Tue Nov 12 14:48:48 +0000 2013

But at the same time it's neither an exclusive, nor is it superior to later versions.

 Tue Nov 12 14:49:54 +0000 2013

I've looked at it. How does it plug in?

 Tue Nov 12 15:01:18 +0000 2013

My roommate got one like that for his C64s

 Tue Nov 12 15:01:50 +0000 2013

Neither are exclusives. I'm looking for something more exotic.

Man, Berberian Sound Studio was NOT the kind of movie I expected it to be. At all.

 Fri Nov 15 00:29:44 +0000 2013

Animation director doesn't have to animate personally, BUT he's in charge of the overall style & mostly directs the timing.

 Fri Nov 15 00:32:33 +0000 2013

I wanted to see a British giallo tribute, but what I've got was something like... Barton Fink meets Cemetery Man, but not funny...

 Fri Nov 15 00:34:35 +0000 2013

Animation Directors are very important, especially when working on a feature. Today it's often multiple people "sequence directors"

 Fri Nov 15 00:40:42 +0000 2013

I don't know what that's supposed to mean.

 Fri Nov 15 00:42:55 +0000 2013

I really couldn't find any other comparisons, but Barton Fink & Cemetery Man. And even that is not that close, to be honest.

 Fri Nov 15 00:43:24 +0000 2013

Well, the trailer is not what that movie is and honestly I gave it 6/10 after 15 minutes of pondering.

 Fri Nov 15 00:46:54 +0000 2013

At the same time, you're the ONLY person I know who'd watch it & who's opinion on it I'd really like to hear.

Well, the sound design is amazing. But that's kind of the stage of the story. Or maybe it isn't. I don't know anymore...

I really REALLY don't want to get out of bed today...

It's like the first, but with EVEN MORE stuff. Like vehicles & planes that you can control in 3D.

Every time I mention B.A.T. I think of other weird games no one knows about...

Like Galactic Empire and its sequel Advanced Galactic Empire. Raise your hand if you played either one.

Lol. It took me YEARS as well. What a piece of shit game with gorgeous gfx!

 Wed Nov 27 14:15:00 +0000 2013

And I guess the premise was intriguing. But the game is a quintessential example of bad design.

 Wed Nov 27 14:18:17 +0000 2013

Weird Dreams and Metal Mutant are essentially the same type of game. Is that type "a game with bad design"?
