Hey, does That Guy make an appearence, by any chance? I ask because he was my all-time favourite Futurama character (not that I've really paid much attention to the show for a while). His only appearence was in the episode "Futurestock", after which his tragic death from boneitis kind of hindered the possibility of any further appearences...but I from what I can make out this new movie does involve time travel. So in theory they could squeeze him in, right?
Anyways, the last two movies I watched were both horror movies, each one representing a different extreme in quality. First up was Lucio Fulci's
House By The Cemetery, which, though it wasn't without its entertainment value, was little more than a mind-blowing mess, complete with incomprehensible storyline (the bad kind, not the David Lynch kind), a badly dubbed kid voice-over and, just to make the experience totally complete, a little bit of the standard crap which gives bats an undue bad reputation. Second was Alfred Hitchcock's
The Birds, which is a masterpiece. At least birds, unlike bats, are a slightly less obvious and over-beaten target for the horror movie genre, and, even if the bird effects do look a tad dated in places, Hitchcock builds and sustains the tension supremely well. This has to be one of his very greatest films, alongside
Vertigo.
