I really want to see 30 Days of Night, but this review has me howling (and not at the moon) every time Ebert calls Barrow, Alaska “Barlow.”

Survivor
Well.
Just when this season was about to turn into a snooze fest, the producers manipulate it into something that could possibly be marginally interesting. But I also have mixed feelings about this episode.
I wish Jaime and Peih Gee hadn’t come off so badly to a lot of fans, because what they did was exactly the correct thing to do in that situation. And I have trouble faulting Jaime for giggling and smirking, since it was so very clear that what she was giggling and smirking about was not what they’d done, but James’s stupid-ass inability to figure out what they’d done. I know he’s eye candy and has a great work ethic and all, but dear gods could he possibly be stupider?!
James was history not just when they announced the trip, but as strong as he is, he was always going to be voted out early. He’s lucky Jaime’s mistrust in Aaron bought him another week. If I were on his tribe, I’d vote him off the first time my tribe went to tribal council. Survivor will always be a numbers game, and leaving someone with that much potential to win individual immunity challenges in the game beyond the first 6 days or so is far too dangerous. It’s all about maximizing what they bring without too much risk - you keep them to get your camp built, win the first couple of challenges and then boot them, fast fast fast!
The question is, will the other tribe figure out what happened and try to throw the IC as well next week? If I were Todd, I wouldn’t and I’d make sure my tribe understood. It’s better to let ZH do the dirty work and vote James off for him. Then things will really get interesting, because there are intelligent people with good social skills on both sides. Peih Gee is my favorite. Not sure she can win, though.

I also loved my Lite Brite and Easy Bake Oven and at one point I had this huge box in the backyard that I was trying to create an air conditioning system in so it could be my little house in the summer, and we also used to build homemade dollhouses and furniture out of shoe boxes and other stuff around the house and I had lots of Barbie and clothes for them and
Name one person you could be handcuffed to for a full day.
Ahahahahahahahahahahaha! No. I mean, yeah, in my fantasies and who is pretty obvious but ... no. Or maybe. Thing is, I’ve kind of done that and I’m kind of over it, ya know. But if they wanted it, I’d probably say yes.

What are the five spookiest episodes or scenes?
Erm, of what? I guess they mean of movies or TV shows but the question’s wording is a little confusing. Anyway, mine are:
1 The scene in the original version of The Haunting where Nell and Theo are alone in the bedroom at night and ... well ... “If you weren’t hold my hand, who was?!” Actually, this whole movie is this spookiest thing ever from beginning to end.
2 Bunny Lake is Missing, the whole movie, but probably the doll shop scene stands out most.
3 Dementia 13, Louise discovers Kathleen’s corpse in the pond
4 Repulsion, the bird in the purse! Those arms sticking out of the wall! The creepy landlord! The bathtub ... oh god, the bathtub!
5 Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, every single second that Bette Davis is on the screen.
Huh. They’re all from movies made before 1970. Interesting.
