The first movie established that the longer a human soul was in a doll body, the more human that body becomes. If Charles Lee Ray had just transferred into a dancing Elmo minutes ago, stabbing him with a knife wouldn’t cause him pain and would only spill underwriter labs approved fire retardent poly stuffing. If he had been in the body for a few days, stabbing him will cause him extreme pain and expose blood, muscles etc.
I’ve got to borrow a digital camera so I can post pictures of me and my 3 foot Chucky doll. (It was a gift from my Mom. Who assured she me, that she got quite a bargain).
To continue the Brad Dourif as “special guest serial killer” motif, he also appeared in the first season of the X-Files as a man on death row for murdering, among others, his family over Thanksgiving dinner. He claimed to have psychic abilities, and was trying to bargain with the lives of two kidnaping victims to avoid going to the gas chamber. For once, Mulder didn’t believe it, but Scully did (although she didn’t want to admit it).
“There’s plenty of room in that cold, dark place for liars, Miss Scully…”
Brad Dourif must be the casting directors’ first choice for “creepy guy”. He’s in everything. A good friend of mine just got married and I don’t really like the guy. I finally realized he looks just like Brad Dourif so he must be creepy…
He was the Mentat Piter(sp?) in the movie Dune. Pretty creepy there too. That’s why seeing him as nice guy Brother Edward was a change of pace. (Okayl, okay, I know he had originally been a serial killer, but he truly didn’t remember it.)
“I always wondered if I would have the courage to stay in the Garden of Gethsemane. Now I know, Theo, now I know”
You know, when Kythereia mentioned Brad Dourif, the first thing I thought of was Brother Edward. A very memorable performance. The funny thing is, because of that, he’ll never be the “creepy guy” to me, no matter how many B-movies he stars in!
Oh, and I agree about the movie in the OP. Definitely a sign of the coming apocalypse.
This reminds me of a joke Milton Berle told at George Burns’ Friars Club Roast. Burns was quite old at the time but still had a reputation for being seen in public with beautiful young women.
Berle said he spotted one of Burns’ showgirl girlfriends and asked her if it was all an act or if he could still get it on. The girl replied that he could…but when he came, it was dust.
He also played the crazy bad guy, Saavedro in Myst III: Exile.
While I’m more than going to pass on the Chucky movie, there’s been worse in Hollywood. I’m guessing they’re going for the sentimenal wow I used to watch this when I was little vibe, and realized that since they couldn’t make something actually scary they’d go for campy. It could be worse. We could be looking at a Jason v. Chuckie v. Predator v. Alien v. Freddie, et al ultimate death match smorgasbord.
But, but but … we have so much in common. I like the car by Tucker too and figured out your name before I saw your sig … umm and we’re both dopers … and stuff!
Actually, I’m pretty sure I’m on a rocket ship to hell, so its ok. How about we hug now and be all smiles? Actually I do feel guilty (because I realize you’re ever so right); if you were anywhere near an alamo drafthouse I’d send you a few tickets to make up for my world ending joke. Any movie is at least an ok movie there.
Eve had a thread not long ago about evil clowns and dummies. The Child’s play movie was the first thing I thought of. Ok it’s not a dummy but it has the EYES!!! Eeeeeeeeeek.
