I saw it. It was funny. Although I don't remember much of anything now.

Drives me nutso! (which seems to be more acceptable to the industry)

I'm sure I hear things wrong sometimes -- but 80% of the time I ask the person watching next to me, they didn't understand it either, & apparently, they usually don't care. That, & I'm sure they hate when I ask.

So, I've gotten a lot of practice reading "subs" that way. I guess I hate missing dialogue more than watching with CC/subs.

Yeah, that's another reason I like subs. I'm able to keep following the story when I miss out on audio. Or when there's a noise you can barely hear. Or slang.

Probably
There's an alternative cover but it's not as sexy.

I loved it. I'm gonna post a review tomorrow (was gonna do it today but had stuff to do)

"The Dead Room" 7/10

A Kiwi ghost flick and quite an action packed one.

Had the same issues with this one as I had with House on Pine Street, which were the repetitiveness of the scare effects (sounds, furnitures moving and doors opening and closing). Would have been such a cool ghost flick if what it did at the very end had been used throughout the entire movie. But with that being said, it's hard to be really annoyed about a movie that doesn't contain a single dull moment. Unless you find movies about haunted houses dull, then you're probably better off watching something else.

Yep, like you said, sometimes I'll be reading a book, & then I'll find myself staring past the page, daydreaming about something else. That ADD?

Yeah pretty much I guess.
I've been diagnosed with it but I'm no doctor so I don't know how I would explain it other than having the attention span equivalent of a goldfish.

Not too many characters and one decent plot.

I really need to get my hands on some Lovecraft books. With no money flow at the moment I'm stuck with what I can find for 25cents at thrift stores and trading sites til I can afford EBay or Amazon again. Have you any recommendations?

Ditto! This is a good example of how to still make an entertaining & exciting flick within a tired & very common theme. Mike Flanagan (Absentia, Oculus) is becoming a pro in the genre film making who has successively given us good & decent horror films.

Boring, messy and weird just for the sake of being weird.
At times I felt like watching some shitty 80's movie.

I have Collected Stories Volume 1 to 4. They're quite cheap and that way you have all his stories.

Cowboys vs. Dinosaurs

Godammit why do I keep doing this to myself. The characters are stupid, the story is stupid, the CGI and acting is AWFUL. Theropods eat the townspeople and they try to mix in dramatic build up. That's not the time for build up, that shit belongs in the beginning of your shitty movie, not the end where it's time for the finale of fight scenes!

The gore in here is just about the worst. People fall down like an idiot before the bad CGI monsters can even touch them and blood splatters like a balloon being popped! Or like they just said 'fuck it' and used a photoshop brush. Either way it looks about as real as Dolly Parton's boobs!

The main character, whose name of COURSE is Walker, was injured from bull riding, and yet the build up is getting back on a horse. Well yeah a bull's going to buck you off moron! A horse is a whole other story! I couldn't even try to give two fucks when they had the dramatic slow motion play for him as he got in the saddle again.

There was something else that happened after his injuries that had him abusing his girlfriend or something before he left for three years. They NEVER go into detail about it, and yet for some reason the movie tries to show the sheriff as the villain in this!

Also none of the people in this are cowboys. So the title is a lie. Putting someone on a horse doesn't make them a cowboy. If anything it's; One kind-of-but-not-really-cowboy, two chicks and a black guy who CERTAINLY doesn't die.

This movie was just terrible, stupid, painful and not nearly short enough! In the mood for a dinosaur movie but already saw Jurassic Park a couple thousand times? WATCH IT ANOTHER THOUSAND TIMES. It's better than this!

Too much time or lack of better material?
Or maybe quit living in denial and admit you like these movies.
