I find some vague sense of hope in the fact the trailer didn't already make me wish shiny rapacious death upon the heads of everyone involved - you know, like they normally do (or maybe that's just me). It may not be all that great but it doesn't appear to be entirely without a chance of good moments and material. I find Dreamworks kind of hit or miss in general and so far didn't see anything too obviously "miss" here yet.

http://doctorwhospoilers.com/ is great place to watch someone else go through all the trouble of going back and forward to get all the details. And with a website name like that, yes, SPOILER WARNING!

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them think. Best to just leave them be and perhaps swing back by in a few years and ask them what became of their 2012 theories and "evidence" and hope they haven't forgotten all about that but now are deep into another one.

Mis-use of the word campy? That's a day in the box.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_(style)

"Camp" is an intentional effect, so the new Depp film is the "campy" DS, but the original DS series is not (unless you think anything with vampires in it that doesn't wink is already over the top).

(I normally don't like to play etymology-cop, but I only recently learned this about "camp" myself and since then I see it everywhere...)

I have had EM on my namesake stalker. Altitis had already claimed him as a victim by the time the changes came to EM, and going back to him I found him really, really hard to play, everything... felt... so ....slow... But it's sort of a zen thing, once I accepted that's how it goes, I was able to play him again without, I dunno, getting too bored? losing too much patience?

The AS changes are great, but... it's stil not fun on a stalker either. I think the extended animation times are a big part of why you don't see many EMs around, not just its lack of AoE; it plays so differently than other sets. Even Titan Weapons gets to speed up after all. Taking two seconds all the time to swing at a target that your pal just took out, hoping the next couple of swings at you miss because you're low on Health and need to click a green or Placate, etc... yuck, comparatively. The set just feels like molasses when other sets feel like ZOOM BANG POW. AS changes helps but hasn't fixed this problem.

I'd hate to ask for damage nerfs to balance cutting down on animation times, but...

Hush you!

You're, um, upgrading the first heart to double its effectiveness, casting more magic on the lone pair of gauntlets, uh... yeah.

Already happening!:

The skunks I've seen round here are pretty cute and hey, any animal that's making good (within its own habitat, mind you, not invading/damaging another) must be doing something right.

Seconded, not to mention the fact that I don't like envision my (real) friends (nor myself) as being billboards for the highest bidders.

It is, I like this one a lot.

I'd also toss in (if you don't mind B&W silent films) the old Nosferatu, still creepy after all these years. The film Shadow of the Vampire is a good follow up, a fictional take on the making of Nosferatu where - hey guess what? - the guy playing the vampire actually is one!

Rare Exports (about digging up the original Santa who is not as nice as we thought) wasn't terribly bloody as I recall.

The Japanese 70s House has some blood but is so off-kilterly cartoony (and low budget fake) that I doubt it will upset anyone.

Any of Ed Wood's films are good for a laugh and not gory.

Vamyr is an arty vampire movie from the 30s, very atmospheric.

And yes, you can almost never go wrong with anything from the Hammer vaults (fair warning, the later ones went a little off the nudity-end of the pool, if that bothers you).

If you don't mind mixing in some sci-fi, Five Million Years to Earth (from Hammer to boot) is pretty good too. Also known as Quatermass and the Pit, which is the title of the tv show it was based on (which was a big influence on Doctor Who when that was getting started).

I liked Silent Hill a lot, but my GF who's also squeamish about blood thought it went too far and we didn't finish it...

Also, although it's not strictly horror, Night of the Hunter is still great stuff, a really well made film.

Check everything out on IMDB and see what strikes your fancy.

Some nice extras in that. Watching the bit where Thor asks Tony Stark "Take away your armor and what are?" makes me think that JW should be good at writing Stark, being all quippy and stuff...

That shouldn't make any difference. Try again and if you can't republish it (be sure you haven't gotten some orange text warning to clear up!), then /bug it.

And charges you 800 points per player picked up.

I agree, this is one interview that really felt 'real' as the interviewer knew enough to ask some decent questions.
