Awesome references, and I would rep your brit loving ass if I could.
Just watched
Sunshine, BTW.
Why thank you
But whats stopping you from posative repping my once Briton loving ass (as I made this screen name indeed when I was absolutely fan boy-ish in love with at least four different gals from the isles, so I indeed decided on this name)?
But indeed, have always had a massive Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 [1986] love. It's a damn fine film in spots and is an over all noteable cult classic. I've always watched it at least twice or so a year. It's a damn shame that Cannon Films somewhat very much botched it from being even better over all once you know the history and watch the special features fully on the 2006 issues "Gruesome Edition" from MGM anniversary re-release on standard def DVD. I only wish one day there'll be a really great looking edition on Blu-Ray with even more sound mixes that are very nice and a nice retrospective documentary and look back on the lives of not only Dennis Hopper but now also the late/great Lou Perryman who was also in it who was sadly murdered last year (

So glad that film survives. So many call it mediocre and that it never should have been made, but for those of us who "get" it, that it only has so many serious chunk/set pieces and is really a gory black-comedy, it's well worth owning and re-visiting. And fuck me what an AWESOME soundtrack of new wave-era and early Alternative rock.
So cheers for liking it as well. :glugglug:

Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy- massive, excellent docu on the Elm Street movies. Many of the ladies still look great! A must see for Freddy fans.
Yup. Damn fine documentary ya got there. :thumbsup: I also ordered it and got it the first week of it's release from Amazon. I didn't wanna order off the official site and get the Heather Legenkamp autograph (she's of course Nancy Thompson from the original and Parts 3 and Craven's New Nightmare) cause I hoenstly don't get the whole autograph thing myself, so I just included it in my last Amazon.com bulk order. And it is indeed the best out of all the big genre series documentaries out there, even beating more much more loved series of Friday the 13th ("His Name Was Jason") and the Shape/Michael Myers films ("Halloween: 25 Years of Terror") easily. I REALLY wish the weakest of the links--His Name Was Jason--was done as professionally as Never Sleep Again was, as it really cried out and basically screamed to be done as so, and not with a whole love of official website idiots from different genre film websites commenting. The special features disc and the bonus interviews are roughly the best part about that doc. Oh and yeah, I too was surprised how well all the lvoely ladies of the series still look! Holy shit Kim Myers from the underrated part 2 (Freddy's Revenge) is even hotter looking in my mind. I'd love to be her lucky hubby.
Gotta love those redheads. And the extras on that documenatry rock as well. I'm still not even finished with'em yet!
So glad to see so many genre film fans on this board. It sort of somewhat seem's that the horror genre and the adult film industry fans that we've always had sort of a lot in common. One year I even noticed Jasmine St. Claire at a Chiller Theater show I went to just showed up because she also loves & collects horror films and just wanted to bullshit around, although I didn't really talk to her much as I'm very shy, and she didn't stay long. Also in the classic slasher film Maniac (1980), Sharon Mitchell who's my favorite starlet of all time, has a small cameo. That's because William Lustig the director shot some adult film work on 35mm a few times and I believe he worked with her, so she appeared in it for free as a nurse breifly. Very cool gal.
