Peter Cushing was, by all accounts I have read, a truly kind and decent person.<br /><br />I was lucky to see Salem's Lot when it first premiered, rather than in the poorly cut versions out there now. You can see it all on YouTube!<br /><br />OK, I'll jump in on the Avengers bandwagon here (hmm, perhaps we need to start a post for it?): I thought the animation style was dreadful, like something out of the 90s.The theme song was even worse! But I enjoyed the story, even if it was inspired by the origin of the 'New' Avengers. I really liked that they went with the original line-up for the team in this first story, not bringing Cap in immediately. The actor doing Iron Man definitely seemed to be trying to channel Robert Downey Jr. The rest seemed fine. I was a little concerned that they seemed to be making Pym look a bit like an idiot at times. I like the way the Hulk is being presented. Can't wait for the next episode.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032477453891087135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-10151844862844338162010-10-21T15:00:54.467-05:002010-10-21T15:00:54.467-05:00I DVRed Avengers, can't wait to check it out.....I DVRed Avengers, can't wait to check it out....<br /><br />I loooove weird 70s horror flicks (check out the Phantom of the Movies magazine-)...<br /><br />I really like the flicks that mix genres..check out the Shaw Bros/Hammer production of LEGEND of the 7 GOLDEN VAMPIRES, (vampires AND Kung-FU!) Another fave is THE SHRIEKING (aka HEX), witches vs. bikers (Scott Glenn, K. Carradine and Gary Busey!) and a trippy freak-out scene.<br /><br />I think Rob Zombie nailed it with Houseof1000...,Devil's Rejects, and the Halloween remake. He lost me with Halloween 2, what happened? They're fun to watch just for the casting, lots of 70s-80s throwbacks.<br /><br />starfoxxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-64600721294895025172010-10-21T10:23:51.263-05:002010-10-21T10:23:51.263-05:00Again, not to hijack the thread...

I thought the voice for Iron Man sounded too young. Liked the voice for Thor. Graviton was OK -- looked a little like Rasputin the Mad Monk! Action was good, but overall I thought it was "OK". Not great, but certainly not terrible. I thought that they included several Marvel super-baddies was cool.<br /><br />DougDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04248324005584963229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-76313341097570610342010-10-21T09:29:45.333-05:002010-10-21T09:29:45.333-05:00Hammer Horror fans might appreciate this audiobook...Hammer Horror fans might appreciate this audiobook that features Cushing telling the story of his Hammer years:<br /><br />http://www.denofgeek.com/Reviews/544098/peter_cushing_past_forgetting_cd_review.html<br /><br />I remember when 'Salem's Lot' first premiered on tv, it was the talk of the playgrounds for days afterwords. I was so ticked off that I hadn't seen it,didn't see it until 1981(pre-dvd/vhs days,of course). One of the best tv movies ever. I didn't realize until a month ago that it was a multi-part miniseries, I've still only seen the 2-hour edit of 'Lot'.<br /><br />I don't mean to highjack the thread, but(since it was mentioned here months ago)did everyone watch the premier of the new Avengers animated show last night? I thought it was pretty good,close enough to the comic version. I've always thought of Graviton as a poor man's Magneto, but he worked too.J.A.
