1. One of the best, most original horror movies to date. If you liked something in a horror movie after TCM74, chances are it was stolen from the latter. Despite its horror credentials, TCM74 contains very little visible blood, relying on creepy imagery and unsettling, innovative music to set the mood. Followed by a string of lack-luster sequels.
2. One of the worst, most unnecessary remakes of a classic horror film in cinematic history. Take one part original, nine parts Dawson's Creek, and separate out the terrifying originality of the '74 version, and you have TCM03. It had the drill instructor from Full Metal Jacket in it, though. That was kinda cool.
1. Paul won the accolades of all for renting the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre after someone had expressed their fondness for the remake and ignorance of the original.
2. Habib was deported when he fell asleep watching the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake on TV and missed the deadline for renewing his student visa.
A terrific movie. I'm referring to the 2003 version of this film.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is NOT a true story. It is BASED on the events of Ed Gein, a serial killer who lived in Plainfield, Wisconsin in the 1950's. He killed only 2 women but dug up many more in the graveyard and attempted to make a full-body woman suit. He also collected ears, fingers, toes, heads, skulls and noses. He was arrested and brought to court and found guilty but lived the rest of his life in a mental instution. He died of cancer in 1984.
The measure of an emotional and over zealous consumer in an upwardly charging market, also known as a bull market. It's characterized by rising asset prices, increased investor confidence, and favorable growth in the markets, bro.
The frothability was evident as over-zealous consumers eagerly engaged in bidding wars, driving property prices to unsustainable levels reminiscent of previous speculative bubbles.
A man who dates women with the sole purpose of exploiting their time, energy, and labor while he sucks the joy and happiness from their lives.
"That guy's a soul digger. He'll expect you to work full time, but you'll be doing all the cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping, and childcare while he plays video games or watches TV."
A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.
The pod person was pretending to be my father, but I knew that he was an alien when he acted differently than my father ever would have.
A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.
Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.
A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.
A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."
