What you should do is go look at the old reviews. You'll be questioning of the critics actually watched the film.

 Tue Feb 02 12:32:24 +0000 2016

At the same time, time did tell on that one. It was already picking up in popularity in the early 90s. And now, of course, is known

as one of the best horror films of all time.

I've heard John Carpenter took its financial & critical failure really hard. It was supposed to be his magnum opus.

 Tue Feb 02 12:34:41 +0000 2016

It probably has a lot to do with the time when it came out. Culturally, I mean. Many point to E.T.'s success as what brought The

 Tue Feb 02 12:37:13 +0000 2016

Thing down, but honestly I always thought that was a bit of a stretch.

 Tue Feb 02 12:37:39 +0000 2016

Yes, it's a perfect film. Also a kind of film that would never get made today.

 Tue Feb 02 12:38:09 +0000 2016

I think the bigger reason of its failure is expectations - it was being presented as a remake of a 1951 film by both Carpenter and

 Tue Feb 02 12:46:25 +0000 2016

the studio. 1951 film was a huge hit and Carpenter's film had a lot to live up to. He, however, made not so much an update of the

 Tue Feb 02 12:47:13 +0000 2016

original film (which he loved), but rather a better adaptation of the source material, a John Campbell novella.

 Tue Feb 02 12:48:03 +0000 2016

Hey DOS peeps, have you used any Borland Turbo line products? Tell me your memories.

 Tue Feb 02 19:11:41 +0000 2016

It cost $20 mil & ended up being one of the top 10 highest grossing movies that year. I think it's beyond cult.

 Tue Feb 02 19:14:48 +0000 2016

Which one?

 Tue Feb 02 19:16:06 +0000 2016

Personal experiences: I always loved Borland products. The ui, the help, the examples, everything was great. And fast.

 Tue Feb 02 19:18:50 +0000 2016

I love the fact that one could use Turbo Debugger in conjunction with Turbo Pascal or C and it would show you the high level code.

 Tue Feb 02 19:20:02 +0000 2016

And now my suspicions that Turbo Pascal was used to teach programming in many class rooms around the world are confirming.

 Tue Feb 02 19:20:58 +0000 2016

That being said, I'm so fucking glad I never have to touch Turbo Pascal ever again. Nothing to do with Borland, I just hate Pascal.

 Tue Feb 02 19:21:45 +0000 2016

I enjoyed the show despite having major issues with it throughout. It's a tv show. Could have been a lot worse.

Some episodes made me question if writers/directors actually seen an Evil Dead film before, but whatever.

 Tue Feb 02 19:25:41 +0000 2016

But it does retcon too much of the lore for my tastes. Although the lore was always sort of shaky.

 Tue Feb 02 19:26:24 +0000 2016

It's more than that. It's decapitations vs dismemberment, people being possessed during the day, the Necronomicon, you know,

 Tue Feb 02 19:28:23 +0000 2016

NOT being burned. That sort of thing.

 Tue Feb 02 19:28:36 +0000 2016

Well, I thought it was a small retcon in favor of time - The episodes are only 20 minutes. It's references in the dialogue too at

ask the guy behind the previous best ones to write and direct it.

It's not just monster of the week, but specifically a ridiculous comedy episodes that deconstructs the show a bit.

The other day I thought the person I knew either died or unfriended me because I realized that I haven't seen their FB posts for a month.
