I sometimes feel like once they fall off the main page they just kind of disappear. Digging up some of the buried bones and dusting them off was the impetus for the new "bone banners" in the sideboard.<br /><br />I wrote the majority of this post during a slow day at work. lol As I mentioned in an earlier comment, I don't really fancy myself a reviewer. It's often more fun for me to find an angle and write from that. I'm flattered any time someone tells me that my angle prompted a reappraisal of the movie.

Or are you just a poli sci major turned horror blogger genius who can make a snap astute political correlation with a seemingly flat out slasher flick? I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I learn every time I dabble in our bloggin world, and yet again I'm taking away much more than what I ever hoped to. I usually watch movies for simple entertainment. If there's too much over analyzing on my part, it's a chore, and morphs the fun into work. But, now you've made me chastise myself and wonder, what have I missed? And I will begin to watch in a different way--to watch the first time for entertainment, and then again, and again, and again, to, well, for lack of a better phrase, get it. Thanks! And congrats on Monster Speaks! Until next time Brandon....keep those fires stoked! You're hot as hell right now. <br />Eternally Yours<br />Warden Stokely<br /><a href="http://wardenstokelyhorrorzine.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Warden Stokely Horrorzine</a>wardenstokelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03789986401228596053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661270773678879909.post-60173324876435647362013-01-27T10:58:25.737-05:002013-01-27T10:58:25.737-05:00Someday when I'm over the pain of being bent o...Someday when I'm over the pain of being bent over by TC3D I'm going to have to share the scenario that suggested itself to me afterwards. It made what I got even more of a disappointment. Should've seen Django. I'd still like to tackle TCM2, so maybe that would be a good fit for the upcoming Gore-A-Thon. Thanks again for checking out the posts. BTW, I love your idea of one sentence reviews. I've yet to write what I'd really consider a "review", so the idea of keeping reviews short and sweet appeals to me. lol First thing I look for elsewhere, but I don't particularly like writing them. I'm more of an "appreciation" kind of reviewer, so if I don't like it I'm not really interested in spending my time examining it.Brandon Earlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428583919973903171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661270773678879909.post-36987349023849917462013-01-27T10:21:00.299-05:002013-01-27T10:21:00.299-05:00Re-watched this recently with my younger sister as...Re-watched this recently with my younger sister as at 1am she was in a "horror mood" (thank you I'd been at work all day but can't say no to a horror in the wee hours)<br /><br />TCM was her pick for the "evening" but she does not like old movies (as a rule) and wanted to watch a more recent TCM, I refused. Original in this case is best. (imo)<br /><br />and as much as I was once scared of leatherface, I was sympathising with him, feeling so sorry for him (that moment you capture while he is rocking back and forth in front of the window is damn emotional)<br /><br />We also found the movie hilarious and gross and disturbing.<br /><br />Leatherface somehow becoming the woman of the family, getting shoved by into the kitchen, sad but still funny.<br /><br />Damn I love that movie, differently with each viewing.<br /><br />Love this review and love your post on coming to terms with TCM3D.Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08882673245004775153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661270773678879909.post-45078918013219445372013-01-09T15:15:47.205-05:002013-01-09T15:15:47.205-05:00I enjoyed this piece too..

You have no idea how flattered I am that you want to rewatch a movie (one I'm sure you've seen multiple times) because of this post.<br /> John Kenneth Muir is one of my favorite genre writers (see Other Dogs Barking in the sidebar), and one of the things I like most about his writing is that he often presents a unique (and valid) analysis of movies I've seen repeatedly that makes me want to watch them again. That's something I aspire to. I appreciate the encouragement.Brandon Earlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428583919973903171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661270773678879909.post-53469847915037480862013-01-08T10:18:35.293-05:002013-01-08T10:18:35.293-05:00You bring up two interesting observations:
One, ...You bring up two interesting observations: <br />One, the notion of Texas representing America. This is absolutely true, and I refer back to Bram Stoker's Dracula. Quincy Morris, the gun slinging Texan, embodied all the American ideals that fascinated the author. So using that as a previous example, I can fully understand your argument there.<br />Two, you made the observation that the Sawyer family refuses to give up past glories. This is essentially post reconstruction South ideals. Look at William Faulkner and his writings to see characters that refuse to relinquish old victories. You present an excellent context for it in TCM that satirizes such characters and makes them the ghoulish remnants of the macabre. <br /><br />Than you for this reflection. I enjoyed the article. Now I want to rewatch the movie because I will be seeing it in a whole new light.Carlhttp://www.theinfozombie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661270773678879909.post-81904169160087184732013-01-07T18:53:57.556-05:002013-01-07T18:53:57.556-05:00American Gothic at it's most honest.American Gothic at it's most honest.J Bucklandhttp://facebook.com/KamikazeImage/noreply@blogger.com
