Yes it was good, thanks.

Blood Diamond is OK.  I'd say Inception is definitely worth a look.  Life of Pi, if nothing else then just for the animal stunts.  Eastern Promises is older than that but seems to be overlooked.  Of the blockbusters I've been pushing Edge of Tomorrow.  Horrible Bosses I has some very funny parts.  This is the Part Where I Leave You has grown on me with each viewing.

Forget the titles but the Clint Eastwood directed movie about Sean Penn's daughter getting murdered in Boston is very good.  Also that movie with Casey Affleck as a PI tracking a missing child, also set in Boston.

Random post for the Marty.

Anyone here still watching American Horror Story? Because this season is one of the best. 

So far it is yeah. But it always tends to start good.

I'm a big fan of Sam Rockwell which is why I'll also recommend you 'Moon'.

Dracula (1931)



So, Tamas, have you ever been to the Borgo Pass?

Amazingly Bela Lugosi was (briefly) billed as the next Lon Chaney.  (Lon was originally slated to play Dracula.  Dracula's director, Tod Browning, was Chaney's long time director.)  Lon was the man of a thousand faces who could play any role (provided it had some degree of mutilation) while Bela was the man of one face who could play one role; though he did play it brilliantly.  Fortunately  Frankenstein would be released later the same year and Boris Karloff would take the role of the next Lon Chaney.  (They even had to have a snippet at the beginning of "The Old Dark House" to tell audience that the Boris Karloff starring in that film was, in fact, the same Boris Karloff who had been in "Frankenstein.")

I miss Ide, this was he always came up with something good this time of year.
