From the footage in the review, I'm guessing the part with the pendulum-blade, since I vaguely remember something like that in a Saw movie.trollpwner said:What is the gore section he's talking about in the film?

That was my first thought too.Halfstache said:Ouch. No love for Lovecraft, I see.MovieBob said:He's the only famous writer of scary stuff that everyone in the audience is guaranteed to have heard of other than Stephen King
Edit for clarification: Not particularly no love from you specifically, but no love for him in general.
I would totally watch a movie about Lovecraft accidentally finding the Necronomicon and trying to stop an evil cult's plans to summon one of the deities. It would require him to read from the book in order to gain the knowledge to stop them, but at the cost of his sanity. His attempts to warn the public will fall on deaf ears as "fiction". In the end, he'll manage to succeed but lose every shred of sanity left in him, and the twist ending will be that Nyarlathotep gave him the book in the first place.Shippy said:Our only hope is that one day we will see a movie about H P Lovecraft battling an evil cult and his own sanity as his latest book takes on a life of itself...
He's saving his excitement for this week's Avengers review, methinks.burningdragoon said:So these past couple reviews have really seemed like tired and bored Bob is doing the reviews. I'm guessing that's just for emphasis, but I'm also thinking it's on purpose so next week when Bob is going to be super excited, it well sound if even more super excited. Yeah? Yeah.
Heh... yes, most of the episodes are like that....MDSnowman said:Without even thinking I watched that today on Netflix...vortexgods said:Wait... has no one heard of "The Black Cat" with Jeffrey Combs...?

Oh well, it wasn't a real movie just a Masters of Horror, still...
That was bad, really bad. Unintentionally hilarious in how his wife could never seem to stay dead though.
I think we already have that and it was called Misery.Shippy said:That was my first thought too.Halfstache said:Ouch. No love for Lovecraft, I see.MovieBob said:He's the only famous writer of scary stuff that everyone in the audience is guaranteed to have heard of other than Stephen King

My second thought was I can't wait till they make the movie "Maine" a film about Stephen King living through an adventure inspired by his books... However given that most Stephen King books are basically this premise already (A writer you say? in Maine you say? Inconceivable!) we would have a movie that was so self referential it would be like "that bit" in Being John Malkovich. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6Fuxkinhug]
Our only hope is that one day we will see a movie about H P Lovecraft battling an evil cult and his own sanity as his latest book takes on a life of itself...
Presumably in a box set with At the Mountains of Madness... *sigh*
