Lucien is being a boring jackass and forcing me to find entertainment elsewhere. But since skinning the first dream I find would probably be frowned upon....

Anyone got any movie suggestions? Blood and gore is preferred, but I'm willing to give anything a shot at this point.

Gee, we're rather bored aren't we now?

Well, since you didn't bother me in my hangover

I'd recommend, 'Clifford'... Yeah.... [Head Nod]

[darkmirror-vr2.livejournal.com]

Well, now that you're here I'm sure we could change that.

...."Clifford"?

[wannabesanta.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm quite sober now. Don't worry. [Grin]
But thanks for asking.

Yes. It's about... A.. Big... Red.. Dog.

I'd think you'd like it. [Chuckle]

^{(For the record he's lying though his teeth)}

[darkmirror-vr2.livejournal.com]

Good to hear! Drunk people just aren't any fun to play with, you know?

....a dog.

[wannabesanta.livejournal.com]

I AM NOT HERE FOR YOUR AMUSEMENT!

Yes! A big red dog... And you know what he does?

[darkmirror-vr2.livejournal.com]

You don't get a say in the matter.

Bring a bloody end down on all of humanity?

How would one go about skinning an intangible idea?

[darkmirror-vr2.livejournal.com]

Easily. You just grab one as it's walking by, drag it to a dark corner of the realm and hope no one follows the screams.

[the-air-corsair.livejournal.com]

...Sir, it's a dream, not a living thing.

[darkmirror-vr2.livejournal.com]

Hey now, that hurts. We're just as much "living things" as you dreamers are.

[the-air-corsair.livejournal.com]

I've seen many things, sir, but even I find that hard to believe.

[darkmirror-vr2.livejournal.com]

You're new to this place, aren't you?

I've never been particularly enamored with horror films, but I'm sure I could come up with several recommendations in other categories. Do you have any genre or sub-genre preferences aside from 'blood and gore?'

[darkmirror-vr2.livejournal.com]

Car chases and explosions? Not really, no. Thrillers and action flicks are the only ones that really hold my interest, but....like I said. I'll give anything a try. What've you got?

[samuraiprosecutor]

For thrillers the works of Alfred Hitchcock are beyond compare, of course. Assuming you're not already familiar with them, I'd recommend Rope, North by Northwest, Strangers on a Train, and Rear Window.

For action, anything by Akira Kurosawa, or, if you prefer something a bit more recent, Ronin, Léon, MacHale's Gambit, and Lola rennt or Run Lola Run.



((OOC: Made-up movie title ftw! \o/))

[darkmirror-vr2.livejournal.com]

Hitchcock I'm somewhat familiar with, but not those particular titles. Or....any of the others, really. I'll look into those, yeah.

[samuraiprosecutor]

Obviously your education in film has been sorely lacking. When you've watched those I'd be willing to give you further recommendations.

I'd recommend anything from Stephen King. He's quite the genius with horror. Even though some movies take ages to watch.

[darkmirror-vr2.livejournal.com]

I did find one of his movies a few months ago. The Stand, I think. Are there any in particular you'd suggest?

[bloodiedrebirth.livejournal.com]

How do you skin a dream?

[darkmirror-vr2.livejournal.com]

The same way you'd skin anything else, I guess. They don't put up much of a fight.

[bloodiedrebirth.livejournal.com]

I always thought dreams were a little too intangible to be skinned.

What do they look like?

[darkmirror-vr2.livejournal.com]

That's only what they want you tho think.

Depends on the kind you come across. They can pretty much look like anything and everything.

[bloodiedrebirth.livejournal.com]

What if one of them looks like a metal box then? How do you skin that?

Oh, but as far as movies go, I've heard the Saw is nice. The first one only. And general Asian horror flicks, though I wasn't all too impressed by the single one I did see.
