NO, NO, NO. Michelle, who I knew when she was 11, will never, ever be naked in a movie. Never! That’s just so wrong. :eek: :eek: :eek:

Sorry, dude. She grew up into a hottie. For this reason, I want to see her boobies.

I guess I can forget about making _The Passion of Kris Kringle_. The reindeer slaughter scene alone (that’s about 30 minutes of screen time) might get me in trouble.

Dude! I would totally go to see that and I _hate_ slasher movies!

Man, that Bob Clark’s got a hell of a filmography there. He spends the 70’s making slasher movies (including the original “Black Christmas”), then in the 80’s goes on to do _Porky’s_, _Rhinestone_, and _A Christmas Story_.

Don’t forget _Baby Geniuses_. On second thought, do.

The way you stuck the word ‘advertised’ in that line both frightens and intrigues me. Could I perhaps just get a sample copy of your newsletter?

Oh, absolutely. But you know, just _know_, that with the wild and crazy bunch that we have around here, there’s probably been plenty of un-advertised mass hanky panky going on. 😛

Now, would you like to buy some ad space to go with at least a six month subscription? 'Cause once you taste, you’ll just have to have it All The Time. 😃

I’m offended by this movie. Not because of the premise, but because it looks like a lousy remake which seriously misses the point of the 1974 version. From the trailers they seem to show the killer - IN THE TRAILER, to boot. And there looks to be supernatural elements.

On the other hand, it has Michelle Trachtenberg, so if it’s a typical tits’n’gore slasher flick, I’ll probably watch it when it eventually comes on TV.

On the other hand…is that the original house they used in it, or just a remarkable similar one.

I can’t believe I haven’t seen the original; have to remedy that. But on the face of it, this probably is another totally unnecessary remake that misses whatever made the original a low-budget pleasure. (They’re even remaking _Race With the Devil_, for cryin’ out loud.)

Quite all right, simply borrowed a rate card from his mum, changed the name and translated the Euros to real money.
