Filmic goodness

Well, that really made my night last night ...

Missed the first couple of minutes, and no blank tapes to hand, but watched the rest of it. I knew I liked it, but I'd forgotten how much. Definitely the equal of the first Tremors, and without Kevin Bacon (good or bad thing depending on taste1). Good characterisation, well-portrayed bitterness ([grin]), and some new threats. Oh, and some stonking quotes ...
Heather's not coming back. She called and asked me to send her the HK91.
Memo - 4lb of C4 may be a little excessive.
Some people say I'm over-prepared ... paranoid ... maybe a little crazy. But they've never met any pre-Cambrian lifeforms.
Strangely, all the quotes are from the same character ... but this is definitely one that goes in my top 10 films list2.

1 Especially if you are the devil in God, The Devil, and Bob
2 Including, inter alia, Strange Days, The Princess Bride, Drive, Redline, and Death Machine. I would proabably come up with some more, given more time, and concerted effort, although I'd probably need to expand to a top 25 ...

Gosh - I thought I was the only one in the world that liked that album!

[grin] Well, to be honest, I think I bought it in BEANOS, allegedly the biggest second-hand music emporium anywhere, because I was interested, and I think it was in their bargain bucket. It's OK, but I think I'll need a few more listens before I make anything resembling an evaluation ... although it does sound like it would be good background music for a CPunk game.

I find that it makes nice background music for putting your feet up when a bit pissed off too! The band would probably be horrified to find themselves being relegated to background!
