Nathalie,
Great horror is still being made, post Universal. Check out "Let the
Right One In", a Swedish vampire film that knocked my socks off last year.
"Twilight" is indeed crap for the kiddies. The book blew too. I tried to
be in touch with my youthful side, but poop still floats, as a pal of
mine used to say.
Is the Harry Potter series starting to bore the socks off anyone else,
by the way?

It would have been lovely to see a Karloff and a Lugosi and a Chaney
up there. Sorry, I think the Twilight series is pablum junk.
I had heard about the theater and Tarantino and thought it was great.
Best,
Nathalie

Hi Nathalie,
I couldn't agree more but I've heard so much backlash against this
young man and it's really the old farts at the Academy who are
trying to appeal to the "young". Whatever. They should be
ashamed. I'm encouraged that Quentin Tarantino has bought the New
Beverly revival theater in LA. Its audience is young and he
educates them with classic movies.
Cheers,
Toochis

Toochis,
I can appreciate your point of view, but did they even consider
asking Sara Karloff, Bela George Lugosi and Ron Chaney? And what
about Gloria Stuart or Carla Laemmle or even Tim Burton? In
looking over Taylor Lautner's IMDB bio, it seems that he has very
little background in horror films. I'll give the young man credit
for working hard, but it would have been far more respectful to a
genre that gets no respect to have this segment introduced by
people with more gravitas. And who was responsible for compiling
this montage? Where was Val Lewton in all this? Why all the
slasher film stuff? Badly done from start to finish.

I think it's more of an attempt to get genre films recognized
by the Academy. Of those 2 young people who introduced the
films, Taylor Lautner is a rising star. He has taken his work
seriously by training hard in his voice, acting and his body.
He is professional and grateful for every opportunity he is
getting. Also he is easy on the eyes. Go team Jacob!

Still reeling from the horror movie homage so charmlessly
introduced by those two twilight duds. Obviously more
appropriate people were not available ;) If you blinked, you
missed the one or two seconds of classic horror. What was
this supposed to accomplish?

Am I missing something? There seems to have been
virtually no MOPO traffic the last few days…not even the
normal running dialogue trashing the Oscar presentation.
Whatup?
