I did not realize until reading Mike Nelson's review of Wild Things in his Movie Megacheese today that director John McNaughton was also the one responsible for Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. That film, like Alien, has a spot in memories as giving me (and probably quite a few other people out there) the heebie-jeebies BIG time. Somehow, I got a hold of the thing from our video store and proceeded to start watching the thing. It was one of those that I've tried to block from my memory, so much so that I remember only bits and pieces of it. While I've watched the original Alien umpteen million times since my original traumatic experience with it, I've not tried watching Henry in some time now. Funny, the one Kevin Bacon scene near the end of Wild Things was pretty traumatic itself.

Funny thing is that the majority of my fear at Alien was the fact that I was specifically forbidden from watching it, and yet did anyway. Almost caught whilst doing so as well, and well the jig's up now, for sure.

I made a point of recording the recent remake of Willard on IFC the other day. At the time, I didn't realize that Glen Morgan and James Wong (of The X-Files and Space: Above and Beyond fame) were involved with that one. Sadly, I've now got a need to grab Michael Jackson's love song for a rat. I haven't put too much effort into seeking it out, probably out of my own sheer embarrassment at wanting the song. If ever there was a movie that was ripe for riffing, it's that one.

Actually, Snakehead Terror is also seriously in need of riffing too. To be truthful, there's quite a bit on SciFi anymore that would have its entertainment value significantly increased by having those three familiar silhouettes in the bottom part of the screen.

Lastly, I really, really would like an 80 GB video iPod. I KNOW I would fill that thing as quickly as I filled my 60 GB one. Sadly, it's highly doubtful that I will get one and really, there's nothing wrong with what I've currently got, so...
