Was Tyrell Biggs the only boxer Tyson genuinely hated?

Re-watched The Godfather movies yet again a while back and totally agree about the sequel. I thought T2 was brilliant and on the horror front Evil Dead II was good as well. The Bourne trilogy really does it for me as well. Watched them so many times.

 

Huge fan of the Evil Dead movies, the first scared the crap out of me when it came out. Kind of like the Exorcist times 5 lol.

I still need to check out the Bourne trilogy, really liked the books.

 

The first three movies are great mate!!!! Soooo good. When i was 15-16 i used to go to a mates during school weeknights and we'd watch horror movies. I'd have to walk home around 11pm. It was only about a mile but i had to go up this small steep hill past the hospital and right beside the center of this hill was the towns morgue. Do you think i ever went past without running? Man i used to hammer that 150m uphill like i was an Olympic sprinter.

 

No love for the best sci fi / horror film of the 80's perhaps in history(In my opinion it is the best)
John Carpenter's The Thing?

 

He did have one i didn't notice he mentioned - Phantasm. Decent series.

 

lol! I would have brought my bike and pedaled my legs off.

 

I saw that when it first came out, definitely top 10 material. I have to vouch for the Shining, too.

I really loved the first two Omen movies, but they weren't really as scary as some of the other classics here. More like spine-tingling.

 

I posted The Thing in one of my replies to RulesMakeItInteresting or John Thomas about every 80's Carpenter flick being phenomenal. The Thing is the best sci-fi/horror film of all time and probably the best remake as well.

Anything Carpenter made was gold until Memoirs of an Invisible Man with Chevy Chase in 1992. Then he came back in '94 with In the Mouth of Madness. I believe that was his last hurrah.

The Thing with tremendous Rob Bottin FX was originally panned because it came out right after E.T.

 

Have you seen Session 9? A group of workers are hired to get rid of asbestos in an abandoned mental hospital when one member stumbles upon files and recordings of a certain patient. Creepy stuff. Check it out if you haven't.

 

The Omen movies (The 1st 3) were great story telling in a horror setting.
Unfortunately most horror films don't the respect they deserve from most
of the critics for movies...... Prime example is Carpenter's "The Thing "
and how it was lambasted on it's initial release in 82'".
Most of the fans of the movie didn't see it until years after it was released.

 

That movie awed me when it came out. I was familiar with the original, a favorite of my dad's. After I went to see it as a teenager with him he was speechless. We couldn't believe how superior it was.

I've watched it dozens of times. The prequel wasn't bad either imo.

 

The earlier 1951 "Thing" actually wasn't bad either. Obviously not as good as the 80s one, though.

I saw the 1951 version long after seeing Carpenter's, and remember thinking how it seemed like a Greatest Generation / WW2 veteran take on a sci fi horror movie. The soldiers don't all freak out and turn on each other when they find out there's an alien monster hunting them. They work together like a well oiled machine, and eventually murderize the Thing with an electrified booby trap. The only human who's a danger to the others is the creepy intellectual with a plant fetish.

Kind of similar to the way "Forbidden Planet" was the Greatest Generation's version of Star Trek. Same military authority structure and collective efficiency; same absence of hand-wringing.

 

If i had one rest assured i would have too hahahaha

 

Man I've had that on my PC for a decade and always been going to watch it. I must watch it in the near future now!!!

 

That was Jesse Ferguson
