[Yo...] Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Yeah, but she has a cute name for them... Sorry, I should've been clearer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[wa...] Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 "The TV people". It really is so cute. Love Poltergeist so much. Such a magical mixture of TCM and ET. I might just have to watch it tonight. It's been over a year, it's time. Which actress was being considered for the part of Carol Ann prior to Heather O'Rourke getting the part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[wa...] Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Hint: Spielberg said he wanted someone "more angelic" but decided to use this actress in the other project he was working on at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[wa...] Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I am now sitting down to my 9 o' clock dinner of Thai take out (including Thai iced tea) and Poltergeist. Oh, and I stopped at the Taiwanese bakery on the way home. Total treat night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Yo...] Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Drew Barrymore More "angelic". Silly Spielberg. Drew's just adorable in E.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[wa...] Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I always assumed that to be the case. Their visual styles are just so different and you can feel Spielberg in the chair most of the time. But without Tobe, it wouldn't have been the film it is, either. In fact, it wouldn't exist at all because doing a ghost story was his idea. Originally Spielberg had roped him into a "darker sequel" to Close Encounters. Granted, I would LOVE to see that film that never was. But I wouldn't trade Poltergeist for it. That brings me around to commenting on something posted earlier. My Jaws crush was Dreyfuss. It didn't last long, pretty much just Jaws and Close Encounters, but I think I should get some nerd cred for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[wa...] Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 The score is beautiful. That's one thing that is missing from movies today...an orchestra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Yo...] Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 It's all here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Skies Btw, I have a picture of me with Dreyfuss. Our heads are in a big shark jaws I had printed and cut out of foam core. That's serious nerd cred. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[wa...] Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Okay, yeah, you definitely win. Haha. And I'm kinda jealous. Do you know if there are images or video of the $70,000 alien prototype? I'm rolling right into #2 now. I agree with you that it's underrated. Kane is terrifying, still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[wa...] Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Since I missed out earlier, loved everyone's birth year choices! Nick - already gushed on Poltergeist but I also love The Thing! Bought myself the board game last year but haven't gotten the chance to play it yet. Pete - already asked a trivia question about The Exorcist, so you know I feel about that. It's the film every serious-minded horror film has to hold itself up against. NMSafe - the irony is, after all this talk of scary movies, I actually find 101 Dalmatians scarier than all of them! How is that a kids movie? Cruella Deville is terrifying! And mine? Not a surprise, already asked a trivia question (actually two!) about it already. 1979 - Alien Other favorite movies (no way I can limit myself to 5, sorry): All the good Star Wars films (I am well aware of which is "best" but I refuse to pick a favorite) and... Jaws (duh) Dark Crystal Edward Scissorhands Nightbreed Pan's Labyrinth Buffalo 66 Leon: The Professional Tommy Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Adventures of Baron Munchausen The Fall Akira Kurosawa's Dreams Delicatessen City of Lost Children Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[So...] Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 6 is so solid NMSafe - I think I got that around too and it is definitely a game changer. I have way more motivation today - going to shower way earlier than usual and get some stuff done in the snow (not much snow, but still snow).
