And on the subject of Halloween I thought it was amusing that Jena Malone from 'Donnie Darko' plays Lydia Bennent in the 2005 straight lace P&Pmovie:-)
Halloween isn't even officially recognized over here, not that you would know it.
I'm not against having some fun at this time of year, but in the southern hemisphere we are heading into summer, not winter like the northern hemisphere is, so it doesn't really make sense to celebrate harvest themes in the Aussie springtime.
And I like the Netflixseries 'Squid Game' as much as any horror movie/show goes, it's just a tragic coincidental shame that South Korea is where this real-lifeHalloween catastrophe has occurred.
I featured this page below of the 'Cheap as Chips' flyer (which has a lot of 'Squid Game'stuff) in my recent post about the latest ... and hopefully last 'Halloween'movie to hit our movie screens -
In the last few weeks a few coincidences led me to watch the 2009-11 V TVre-boot of the original 1983 TV show.
When I was researching my post about the 1982movie'Poltergeist'and the supposed curse surrounding the movie, I found out that the last acting credit for the late Dominique Dunnewas the role ofRobin Maxwellin the 1983 V TV series, but her role was re-cast after she was murdered in real life -
I thought I had the DVD of the first V series in my DVD collection, and which I had never watched, and had bought from a bargain bin years ago, but it was the 2009Vseries I had bought, not the original.
My DVD
The loVechild of MJ Fox and Tom Cruise?-)
It was certainly interesting watching my DVD in 2022 and realizing that the term "the Visitors" was used in the V series long before Whitley Strieber started using the term, and that the TVshow came out years before 'Communion' was released on the world and before people like DaVid Icke started talking about eVil reptilians trying to rule the world.
I guess the elephant in the room here is whether Strieber and Icke both watched V before coming up with what maybe just pop culture fantasies instead of any real encounters?
I mean as much as I like Whitley as a person, if you take a read of his Wikipedia page you would have to admit that he is either an unreliable witness or a fibber.
And Icke may believe what he says about a reptilian race, but who's to say he just didn't have a breakdown in the 90s and confused memories of the lizardsinV with his own "reality"?
