If I could make ...Chris Sarandon is great in this.<br /><br />If I could make a request, or if you ever get the chance, I'd love to see you do a review of Collision Course. A little known Jay Leno/Pat Morita (!) buddy cop movie with Chris Sarandon as the villain. The climax with Morita's jump through a car windshield has to be witnessed. <br /><br />Bonus points for Tom Noonan as a heavy, and featuring Ernie Hudson, Randall "Tex" Cobb, and Death Wish IV's Soon-tec Oh!Buck Atwaternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-62213635001685172362014-01-15T23:41:30.062-05:002014-01-15T23:41:30.062-05:00That's what I was hoping to hear, thanks a bun...That's what I was hoping to hear, thanks a bunch!

Very glad you asked this question. And the...Mike,<br /><br />Very glad you asked this question. And the answer is YES YES, UNRESERVEDLY YES. I didn't watch ole' Crypty when I was a kid, either, outside of a random episode or two at a friend's place, and then later when they were (heavily edited) in syndication. So about five or six years ago, I began at the beginning and watched all of 'em through. It's a treasure trove of character actors, washed-up celebs, trashy writing, morbid gags, and jaw-dropping/exploding/rotting practical effects. <br /><br />The series begins well, really hits its stride from seasons 2-4, remains fun from 5-6, and then drops off the quality cliff for season 7 (which was shot in England and often feels like a different series entirely), but there are at least 30 or 40 episodes that I would give my highest marks. Schwarzenegger directs an episode, Kyle MacLachlan gets to play a psycho, Ironside shows up in TWO separate ones, there is plenty of insanity involving Bobcat Goldthwait, Tim Curry plays multiple roles in one episode a la THE NUTTY PROFESSOR but it's somehow brilliant, Joe Pesci finally gets to star in a horror movie, and they even resurrect Humphrey Bogart from the dead. And that's only the tip of the iceberg.<br /><br />So obviously you can tell where I stand on the matter, but let me know what happens if and when you start checkin' em out!Sean Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537515557596273876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-11448225247536107712014-01-14T23:36:23.713-05:002014-01-14T23:36:23.713-05:00Looks kinda fun!

I will, however, say that I can think of no finer usage of the "question mark/exclamation point in parentheses" in grammatical history than following the phrase "private eye Dennis Miller," that was great! While I'm here, maybe you can answer this question for me. I have never given Tales From the Crypt, the series, a real shot (we weren't rich folk, so growing up I only caught bits of it at friends' houses and such), and I think I'm sort of holding off on it because I don't know whether I'd be stepping into a treasure trove of Creepshow-eque hoots and haunts, or if I would be setting myself up for a big letdown. Which is more likely?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
