I keep thinking back to all those racy pics he took for that famous photo shoot with Gillian Anderson, and I wonder what must've been going through his mind...B-Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10717121313061173603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-24443218744987465092008-12-04T14:28:00.000-05:002008-12-04T14:28:00.000-05:00Hi B-Sol.

I found you by way of BC: he mentioned the top 50 list at Horror Movie A Day. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, you're cheering me up today by making fun of Chris Carter and the new X-Files movie. I was a big fan of the TV series back in the day but am much more interested in David Duchovney's addiction to sex these days. Also, Californication is a pretty good show; not as good as The Wire, but it's pretty good. :-)<BR/><BR/>Of course The Wire isn't on anymore. <BR/><BR/>Listen, I love horror films and will be back to read your blog. Thanks so much. I like it here. <BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/>AAlana Noel Vothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15678764751722565458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-54933611414234229062008-12-04T08:54:00.000-05:002008-12-04T08:54:00.000-05:00Thank you sir.

I wouldn't want to open up the voting to a completely general group, since that would go against what it was about in the first place.B-Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10717121313061173603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-27840382781753204652008-12-04T06:30:00.000-05:002008-12-04T06:30:00.000-05:00One man's meat is another man's poison. Something ...One man's meat is another man's poison. Something you put on your worst movies list might be one of my favourites. I guess this goes to show again that all lists will be criticised.<BR/><BR/>I suppose one way of making it "acceptable" would be to increase the number of people participating - like an election if you will. That way, like democracy nobody can complain because it's a popular vote, at least if enough people vote.<BR/><BR/>Then again, whenever you let the unwashed decide you tend to get something middle of the road and horror is certainly not that, at least the good stuff isn't.<BR/><BR/>Very interesting topic all round!<BR/><BR/>And a very cool site.pot head pixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04043225264662244387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-56308742115499895552008-12-02T17:49:00.000-05:002008-12-02T17:49:00.000-05:00Thanks Mr. Cavin, for pointing out my classiness. ...Thanks Mr. Cavin, for pointing out my classiness. Yes, there's no reason to lose one's composure over things like this. It's all in good fun, and we're all fans when it comes right down to it. Besides, being a mid-30s married father of two kids, with a mortgage and a full-time job has taught me a thing or two about what's worth losing one's cool over and what isn't.B-Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10717121313061173603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-4375441487462366572008-12-02T15:42:00.000-05:002008-12-02T15:42:00.000-05:00I didn't read the comments at Fangoria, but I like...I didn't read the comments at Fangoria, but I liked the article (even though it was as little harsh). It made a nice counterpoint, and provided some interesting food for thought regarding whatever criteria facilitates ranking. He totally debunked my idea of influence as criteria, let me tell you. Who's already seen everything in the right order? Next time, I'll look down on the next guy who says what I said last time. Boy that guy'll be as dumb as I used to be.<BR/><BR/>This whole thing has been so <I>interesting</I>. What I've learned is that all lists are inadequate. Anybody will disagree with any list (hell, I've been disagreeing with the one I'm trying to make myself). In the long run, horror is pretty personal to its dogged fans, so people get also mad. What should open discussions really won't, at least not in a forum; and even the most civil parties only trade opinionated assertions back and forth.<BR/><BR/>And let me tell you, no one is very convincing. All anyone can say is because I like it better, because I saw it first, because that's my opinion. Or maybe they can say things a lot ruder.<BR/><BR/>What we need are lists as teaching tools. Something like an anti-list. Ten worsts, maybe. Or name ten movies that you are afraid nobody else has ever heard of. Or name ten that you think are horror, but are often found in the other sections of the rental place.<BR/><BR/>I particularly liked the list of one pointers. I liked every movie on that list (I think). What we really need is a list of the fifty best horror movies I haven't seen yet. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, Mr. B-Sol, you have done an exemplary job of keeping a pleasant tone during all of this. I thought I'd like to throw some attention on that. Pretty classy.Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-25517053242014820902008-12-02T11:31:00.000-05:002008-12-02T11:31:00.000-05:00Thanks Lee!

As for FangoriaOnline, I just want to point out that it was cool of Brian Matus, the blogger in question, to take a stand against some of the over-the-top nasty comments being made over there.B-Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10717121313061173603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-89310487683875604722008-12-01T23:37:00.000-05:002008-12-01T23:37:00.000-05:00Major congrats Brian.

The site definitely deserves its new-found popularity. <BR/><BR/>Also, some of the comments on that Fangoria article are hilariously narrow minded.
