Just watched the 1974 movie (thanks to Netflix). Actually pretty good; I really like how much isn’t explained. The phone calls are truly creepy, suggesting an incredibly twisted psyche, and the ending is perfect. In hindsight, you can see that it influenced a lot of later movies that are better-known now.
And it’s fun to watch Margot Kidder being all foul-mouthed and boozy.

I still picturing Michael kissing Frodo in Havana and saying “I know it was you Frodo, you broke my heart!”

For some odd reason known only to my subconscious (or possibly the makers of Myers’s Rum), I’m cracking up over here.
Damn - I suppose this puts the kibosh on my plans to make my own holiday-themed slasher film with the title Ho, ho, hack

Most sacred holiday?
Isn’t Easter supposed to be the most sacred Christian holiday?

Well, it’s kind of like how every city in Iraq, once the fighting spreads there, is somehow a “holy city.”

I’m thinking a mostly gay porn remake of Jesus Christ, Superstar might be more effective.

What do you mean, remake? I thought that the original was pretty…
… frisky.

I got tears.
Would that be Michael kissing Frodo’s hairy unshod feet by any chance? I loved that scene, it defined " The Hobfather" for millions of viewers throughout Middle Earth.
And, in Jersey.

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:

Word is bond! I’ve followed Michelle Trachtenberg’s career since she was Lily Montgomery on All My Children at eight or nine years old. I loved her in Harriet the Spy and loved her more as Dawn Summers. There can be no nakedy goodness where Michelle is concerned. I forbid the universe to let this happen. I forbid it.
:smack: Doh! I forgot! I don’t control all time and space…not yet.
Oh I know! Reading And Tango Makes Three will OH THE HORROR…MAKE YOU TEH GHEY!!!

My daughter was mortified to learn that I developed a profound case of the hots for Drew Barrymore as she appeared ( and, if I may say so, she appeared in a lot of her corpulent glory ) in “Charlie’s Angels”. She responded with, " Oh GOD Dad that’s gross, that’s the little girl from " E.T." !!! "
HEH. Yes, well. Michelle Trachtenberg may be off limits, but what can I say? Drew Grew.
