Gemmill 44066 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Would it be controversial to suggest that the Silence of the Lambs was nothing like as good as it was made out to be? I thought it was a decent thriller, but Jesus wept, the hype was incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't even bothered watching the follow-up like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44066 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 It's poor. The book was even worse than the film. The follow-up that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a total cop-out. Oh, and totally agree about the the film being over-hyped. Decent film, nothing more. I Remember when it was on tv, the mother asking me what the inmate next to Lecter had flung at Starling. Jesus Wept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44066 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 The Thing is class. I remember watching that when I was a kid, staying at my gran's one night. She also let us watch Halloween and got bollocked off my mam for it. Just read the synopsis on Old Boy on Amazon and it sounds like a good concept at least. I wasn't even sure what it was about when I put it on my queue at Screenselect. Will report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 John Carpenter is a good composer too I reckon (wrote the scores for all his movies iirc). I like his moody early 80's electro stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
