As Tink says, what is a fan to do. An actor that appeared in a few films I like (Amadeus, Ferris Beuller, Beetlejuice, Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow, Howard THe Duck, Devil's Advocate, Without A Clue, Who's Harry Crumb) is Jeffrey Jones, and I was very disapointed when I heard about the indecent pictures of a minor case. Same as the Polanski case. You can still watch their work, but you still feel disgust and disapointment whenever they appear on screen. I remember when Gary Glitter got nabbed, and there was a great outpouring by his fans where they all gathered to burn their records and memerobillia. I honestly can't say I blame them. |

a scary thought would be what you'd do/feel if this had happened to Meat Loaf...

Yes, or indeed Steinman. Could you still listen to For Crying Out Loud knowing that the writer had been kiddiefiddling?

I think an awful lot of people who are fans of an artist had that go through their mind either at the time or at some point since.
I think it's a sympathetic reaction to the poor sods who were so let down by their idol. Luckily, we have Meat & Jim. |

Ah. Well, that's your choice of course. Personally, I would strongly recommend watching Part 1 again :) Quote:
Anyhow, it does make you feel a bit upset when you watch the film again - a little guilty perhaps. I used to do Rock N Roll Christmas at Karaoke at Uni around Christmas time, which is a cracking Gary Glitter track. Had to stop when he got arrested. Couldn't sing it anymore. Feel guilty enjoying listening to his music. Weird. |

Just watching The Screaming Skull. That movie is so bad... The "special" effects... I'm about to fall off my chair laughing.

... a big too ... gooey for my taste ... hehe... and the character morphing played by Jeff Goldblum seemed to take a big too much glee from what he was turning into... i like the original for what it was ... love Vincent Price... and the ending was classic... ***helpme... hellllp... helpme *** ... good stuff ...

Both versions of The Fly are very good, in my opinion. The 1986 movie is typical Cronenberg.
Last movies I saw: L'istruttoria e'chiusa: dimentichi Flightplan - Started out interesting but the ending was a letdown. The Haunting (the remake, I liked the original better) |

I really liked Flightplan and the ending, a bit predictable maybe.
I just watched The Butterfly Effect Part 3, very good ! Much better than 2, but not up with Part 1, imo Ashton Kutchers best movie. Part One was very original and different, part 2 was too slow, but part 3 threw a big surprise at the end, not what i expected. Very gorey in places, enjoyed it ! |

The premise for Flightplan was pretty good and it did start realyl strongly, sadly the latter half of the film was packed with some major plot flaws and unrealistic scenarios. I know films are supposed to be a little bit of fantasy, but in this case the fantasy was so far removed from reality it spoiled the film.

The Princess And The Frog - excellent - very nearly classic Disney, their best in a LONG time!
Shrek 4 in 3D. Ok. 3D gave me a headache. I find Shrek mildly entertaining rather than actually funny, but passed the time amusingly enough I guess. |

Batman Begins. A slow start but still an awesome film, even with ITV2's poorly placed ad breaks.
