To be honest, after the brilliance that was IT I found The Tommyknockers to be a pile of pants.

I got given the hardcover version of It in 1987

Never been a Real fan of horror or Stephen King and 912 pages is likely to reduce me to a drooling jabbering mess

I have managed to destroy the outside cover and rip the internal binding
since i have had It so the gift wasn't a complete waste of time

cheers
B.....OZ Books Should be Read Once then Burnt

.....a lot of his 'small town gets evil wake-up call' stuff reminds me irresistibly of Bradbury's 'Something Wicked This Way Comes'.
'Misery' should also get a mention in despatches.

It certainly is.
I just have a gut feeling that media violence is potentially or actually more damaging to Society than graphic sex, and we've previously discussed the probability that porn is more damaging to the individual than to the many.
Now can we get back to discussing Frances B's tits?

I think that applied to much of d'Amato's 90s stuff, though sometimes he did a good one then a throwaway effort.

There were quite a few horror directors who did porn for the money in the 70s, such as Jean Rollin, and other directors who really wanted to do straight films, but they couldn't help but do their best with most of their porn in my opinion. I recently saw one of his horror efforts (nudity but no h/c) called La Morte vivante (The Living Dead Girl). Even though I bought it to check on an ID (Francoise Blanchard), I enjoyed the film. The exception to the comment about doing their best was Jos? B?naz?raf whose quality went through the floor after he got hold of a video camera - compare all the Olinka films he made in the 80s to the Olinka films made by Michel Lemoine around the same time.

Franco on the other hand seems to have made whatever he felt like. I haven't seen any of his out and out porn efforts though.

The other cross-over genre with both horror and porn was Nazisploitation and B?naz?raf did that too, as did Alain Payet. B?naz?raf's Bordel SS (1978) was much better than his video porn efforts. Apparently no one would give him the money to make a straight film after he became a porn director in the late 70s, but some did manage to 'go straight' in the late 80s like Gerard Kikoine, a great loss to h/c.

...another ordinary day at Magoo Towers, I see.........
Don't forget to feed the dawg before you go to the blood-bank.

I should be seeing this in the next 48 hours - will post a review soon as poss!

And as for who shot nice guy eddie, Chris Penn has already revealed that it was a mistake as the squib he was wearing went off accidently but QT decided to keep it in. I think QT also owned up to it too but I think it was originally meant to be Tim Roth who shoots nice guy eddie.

Misery is excellent.

Some of Bradbury's short stories are so sick you might think they were written by King (The Small Assassin, top three sickest stories ever written). It's no secret that Ray was a big influence on SK. No one can quite capture the sense of childhood that they manage so effortlessly.

Bradbury is a genius.

Thanks Tel, it makes sense, but as posted, QT's films DO have bad errors and terrible editing in at times, whether they are deliberate or coincidental still spoils my viewing.
