Although, for whatever reason, I usually find myself to be pretty much the only regular GB quoter in any gaming group I'm sitting with. My most used Venkman line is "They hate this." And Sigourney was smokin' but that student chick in the opening psychic-testing scene still does it most for me, eighties hair and all.<BR/><BR/>No comment on the 2nd movie or the 2nd edition of the game apart from: _They deserve one another._Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-47686454225242721152007-04-04T08:07:00.000-05:002007-04-04T08:07:00.000-05:00S.

Grown men behaving badly often have that effect on the youth, don't they? Also: Sigourney Weaver! Yowza.<BR/><BR/>I know a lot of people sing the praises of Carpenter's synth work on <I>Halloween</I>, but for me <I>Escape from New York</I> is the tops. It's so sparse and intense in places, perfectly reflecting the one man in an island of chaos situation.Jeff Rientshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493878980535235896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-65672463508480268212007-04-03T20:11:00.000-05:002007-04-03T20:11:00.000-05:00Re John Carpenter: Another fun thing to remember a...Re John Carpenter: Another fun thing to remember about him is that he also composes the music for a lot of his films. He did (or co-did) the electronic music that graces Big Trouble, Escape From New York, Halloween, etc.<BR/><BR/>Some of his later films aren't solid gold, but all of his work has a signature blend of humanity and charisma.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-38141561938601914962007-04-03T20:09:00.000-05:002007-04-03T20:09:00.000-05:00It's all in the reflexes.While arguments can be ma...It's all in the reflexes.<BR/><BR/>While arguments can be made for other films (Monty Python & the Holy Grail being the biggest contender, with good showings from films like Ghostbusters, The Princess Bride, and many others) I personally regard Big Trouble as the single most quotable gamer-movie in the history of gamer-movies.<BR/><BR/>Certainly, with my groups back east, we could go for half an hour and speak in nothing but Big Trouble quotes and actually have a conversation that way. Well ... sometimes Marty couldn't resist throwing in some Hawk the Slayer, but that's Marty for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-36223329546280606582007-04-03T18:16:00.000-05:002007-04-03T18:16:00.000-05:00Bastage!
