Hi!
  One of my co-workers just saw yet another remake of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre) at the movies last weekend. I don't know about you, but I find the most scary movies/books/poems/stories that I take a liking to are the ones where the 'mystery' is left to your own imagination. Instead of seeing the blood and gore, I'd rather 'imagine it' for myself. How about you? ~Cleo

Dan, Hi
I agree that sci-fi and fantasy/myth are two different genres; didn't mean to indicate otherwise. Neither are really my thing but I do think that there have been some great sci-fi films / tv series on. Of course, in the end, it all boils down to the characters - believable? Likeable? etc etc. I always intended to read JRRT's books but never have (to my shame) - I think I would far prefer them. And, yes, the scope for writers is greater than for film makers. But then again, film makers have a lot of toys they can employ to make things fun. Bond - "Live and Let Die" followed by "Tomorrow Never Dies". I'm not at all keen on the books (some of which I have read). Mind you, "Goldfinger" and "Octopussy" are excellent, too. Monty Python's Flying Circus, indeed. My all-time favourite comedy - closely followed by the radio series "The Goons" (1950s). (I am quite a big Steve Martin fan, too!). However, I'm afraid most British comedy is very very poor in comparisson. I wish I could raise the flag for British comedy these days, but I cannot. The US has been producing the most popular sit coms for Brits in recent years ("Cheers", "Friends", "Frasier", "Sex in the City" etc). One exception is "Red Dwarf". The film of the tv series is in production - but I always fear that. It is the tv series which was so good - hope you can see some of it. Horror... Cleo you started something here! J. |
