Dilemma.
I considered purchasing this shirt (as well as many other shirts from this site) but then I realized that if I did, I would become the guy on the bus wearing a black t-shirt that has a woman with needles taped to her face on it.
Then I would stand up and be all like “But it’s just a horror movie and it’s really scary and it’s okay because she escapes and gets her revenge in the end and even though I like scary movies I’m really nice and people tend to like me once they get to know me so you guys don’t have to be worried or scared or anything!”
Then I would be the guy on the bus wearing a black t-shirt that has a woman with needles taped to her face on it who is now yelling nonsensically.
In short, bad idea.

what’s your favorite movie?
Ah, I dread this question the most of any question, I think. I honestly have no clue, but I can tell you movies that I do like.
My current favorite movie is Forbidden Zone. I don’t think many people on tumblr would like it, but it’s definitely up there on my list.
I am also not ashamed to say that I love the fuck out of most Tim Burton movies. I think they’re absolutely wonderful and unique. The put out this strange sort of emotion that I’ve never encountered with anything else.
SLC Punk is also up there. That movie never fails to make me laugh and it always keeps my attention.I’m also a big horror/silent movie fan. Of course, I love all of George A. Romero’s stuff. And I also really enjoy Dario Argento’s stuff. I love his use of colors, especially in Suspiria. It makes everything even more interesting.
As for silent films, I think my favorite will always be Nosferatu, as cliché as that may sound. It was the first one I ever saw, so I’m kind of attached to it in a sense. I also enjoy Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari and Hands of Orlac.
how long have you been on tumblr?
Hm… well, I got it in like March or April, I believe. But, I didn’t start using it regularly until summer.

lol good movie
What’s the scariest movie you have ever seen? Isn’t Eli Roth involved in Cabin Fever?
Cabin Fever is one of my favorites but not the scariest. A few of the scariest movies I’ve ever seen: The House with Laughing Windows, the original Japanese grudge movie (Ju-On), Evil Dead I and II, Deliria (Stagefright), Terror Train, Suspiria, Tenebre, basically all of Dario Argento’s good shit…a lot of J-Horror stuff….

Tenebrae (1982)
Dario Argento was one of those directors I have always wanted to watch. Having listened to a lot of his soundtracks from Goblin, It was a real treat to watch Tenebrae.
The opening credits (with the great score from ”Simonetti-Pignatelli-Morante” the three members of Goblin) is terrific and was shocked that it was sampled by French electronic music duo Justice, in the album †. A complete rip off if you ask me.
There is some terrific bad dialogue that runs trough the film especially from the female cast and the terrible overdubbing makes the film even more humorous. One of the most interesting shots was the tracking shot of the apartment, in which the camera is at one window location and moves outside the house through window from window which I thought was very reminiscent of Massive Attacks video Protection, directed by Gondry.

Oh, God. What a fantastic day.
Watched every Argento film in my possession. Felt pretty damn good.
I feel like watching a Dario Argento film is like standing beneath shattering windows just waiting to be sliced. He’s master at letting his characters squirm in the confines of his tragic little worlds. The violence is always quick, intoxicating and beautiful — neon, red blood and beautiful women sprawled across the floor.
The man is a genius, plain and simple.
Now it’s off to less violent and beautiful things.

Fuck this. I’m sick of classic horror directors, the men who made the genre what it is today, getting sold out. George Romero is probably the biggest victim of all time. He’s also one of the, if not the, most influential horror director(s) of all time. He was forced to make some tough decisions, and lost the rights to a lot of his stuff. “The Crazies” (1973) is an awesome movie. I have it sitting on a shelf right above this very computer.
There have been scores of awful attempts to remake “Night of the Living Dead” (Romero himself executive producing the only good one, with Tom Savini behind the camera).
There was a “Dawn of the Dead” remake.
A “Day of the dead” remake.
There’s Another “Day of the dead” remake reportedly on the way.
A remake of “Creepshow” has been greenlit.
Meanwhile, the man can barely scrape together enough funding to make his next feature, which is a fucking zombie movie. A zombie movie. From the man who single handedly created the genre. The movies are scarcely distributed in limited release while Saw 8 gets pumped into cinemas throughout the country.
Dario Argento, Italian master of horror, has been reduced to making movies that look like they were shot on a Sony hi-8. Wes Craven has more or less sold out completely. John Carpenter’s stuff is being remade constantly (Halloween, the thing,They live, the fog), and studios seem uninterested in letting him do anything original either.
I hate to see classics just destroyed like this with no real regard for the original material. And I refuse to pay for it.

Favorite Filmmakers/Films of the Decade:
David Gordon Green
David Gordon Green’s 5 film oeuvre began at the start of the decade with George Washington (2000), a film about a group of lower class children handling a tragedy. The film blends awkward and subtle comedy with poetic and luminous cinematography, along with a resonating sense of sadness. All the Real Girls (2002) has the same sort of tone to it as well. It’s an interesting emotion, that not many directors can achieve; P.T. Anderson, and to a lesser extent and in slightly different way perhaps Wes Anderson’s films are the first to come to mind, but I think what really distinguishes D.G.G.’s films is the small town Southern locations gorgeously captured by his cinematographer Tim Orr. Even in Undertow, and Snow Angels, which weren’t quite as magical as his first two features, the cinematography is fantastic. In 2008 Green shifted gears, and directed probably the best comedy of the decade, Pineapple Express as well as three episodes of Eastbound and Down. Next he directs another comedy called Your Highness which stars James Franco, Zoey Deschanel, Natalie Portman, and Danny McBride who also co-wrote the script. Interestingly enough he will follow that up with a remake of Dario Argento’s horror film Suspiria.

pal:“Noi non abbiamo mai smesso di sperare, di sognare di vedere al buio di una sala un Dario Argento di nuovo in forma, capace di inventare dal nulla soluzioni registiche inedite e coraggiose. Ci siamo arrabbiati, incazzati, ma eravamo sempre lì, pronti ad affermare che talenti cristallini come il suo sono merce rara. Quello che sembra aver gettato la spugna è lui: ‘Giallo’ è un brutto film perché non ha niente da dire. Neanche qualcosa di clamorosamente sbagliato. Non ci si incazza seguendo la detection di uno spaesato Adrien Brody. Tutto è piatto e fatto evidentemente con poca voglia. E questo, per chi ama Dario Argento, è la cosa più terrorizzante che potesse accadere.”
