[scifinoir2] Horror Marathons on Cable

As usual my most favorite shows are failing. My Worst Enemy and Life on Mars. I've fallen asleep on 11th Hour twice.As for Fringe, it's better than the show that it's often compared to, but it's too predictable for me. Ah well, I will enjoy my favorites while I can. --- In

I've been watching TCM's offerings all night long. So far, Tales of the Dead has been tops, because of that cool French existentialistic angle. And Cartoon Network is apparently cranking up Goosebumps all day long, for those interested. -[ Received Mail Content ]--

See, the thing is, SFC could get these movies, and it wold be cheaper than producing the originals they do. It's just that advertisers won't pay as much as they pay to be a part of ECW wrestling. Notice...no ads on TCM. Turner has CNN and CN as cash cows. I have a feeling TCM

I agree! And I have to say, on further viewing, that TCM is superiour to AMC because the latter's bringing in some fairly modern and mediocre stuff that we've all seen --or avoided--before. AMC is doing a big block of all the substandard Halloween movies today, followed, I believe by stuff like

What *isn't* better than the 80s remake with our pal Nastashya (sp) Kinski? I admit to having a soft spot for that movie but don't count it on my list of good movies. As for the older one... it's very much a 40s film, that said, I enjoyed it quite a bit.    Grayson Reyes-Cole
