A friend on FB was saying he just saw, "The Witch". Never heard of it (IMDb says due on Feb 16th).

Went to IMDB, they list, "The Babadook" as something a viewer might want to see.

I could swear I saw this on Netflix (though I haven't watched Netflix in more than 2 months), plus, the description of the movie does not at all seem familiar.

Has anyone seen, "The Babadook"? I can get it for under $4.00 (plus, Amazon's outrageous $3.99 shipping).

Is it worth $8?

Willie: "This place was built for a staff of 100. They have me. And Mrs. Johnson, who's as useful as a bucket without a bottom."

I wonder if Willie knows that Mrs. Johnson is really

[spoiler] don't lie, you know it's her...[/spoiler]

I don't remember seeing Abe Vigoda prior to Dark Shadows.

We've all mentioned, through the years, how he always sort of looked old.

Maybe, someone in his life, painted a portrait of him at age 50.

Think about it......Quentin didn't age, Abe Vigoda didn't age, Dorian Gray didn't age.

See a theme here???

I really wish there would be another DS movie.

Of course I wouldn't expect Depp/Burton, but there are SO many add'l story arcs:

Since Collinwood was destroyed, build a 'New House' (irony).

Let's see.....Julia Hoffman....to me, that being the last shot is a segue into additional stories.

Liz...how is she doing with her very profitable fishing business?

Where be Carolyn's daddy?

Laura.....Laura....Laura

Mrs. Johnson, who is too old/bedridden, the building of a New/Old House would require an add'l housekeeper.

Ding-dong rings the doorbell. It's a young lady fresh off the boat from England. Heavy cockney accent. Introductions: Pansity Faye (who will have visions).

Liz is busy with the building/moving into New house, that, unbeknownst to her, some 'squatters' are living w/out permission in the now dilapidated House. But, they won't leave; they're gypsies, and they threaten a curse on anyone who tries to get them to leave.

What no one (including Roger) knew was that Roger had a daughter....Nora. Since she too is a Collins, Elizabeth of course let's her live with the family.

A construction worker, working on the building, takes a fall. When he awakens at the hospital, he has amnesia. He had a driver's license, which reads Grant.

More!!!!

More!!!

Daniel having a dream, where his mother is calling to him.

Hmm...wonder why no one thought of that before....

I hope this question isn't a spoiler; why did Alexis come to town. If she didn't come to meet her nephew before, why bother now???

I had downloaded an app which lets me record things (like threats, and lots of other bad things).

But, when I hit the stop button,  (and I'm looking at my phone now):

It has back arrows & forward arrows; Name, Notes, a blue square to add photo.

Under that, there's the garbage can icon, and an arrow, pointing up, with a straight line above it.

I don't know how to 'save'. Plus, I'd really rather NOT save it to my phone.

I have the little cord that goes from your phone to your computer (I know it's MAINLY to charge your phone, but, I believe it can do more).

Does anyone know a couple/few sites which I could take the above mentioned and put it onto my laptop?
(They would have to be free, I'm broke.)

Also, if I could save them to my computer, couldn't I also take a flash drive & save it onto that?

Thanks,

Patti

Hmmm....I thought I had posted about this about a month ago....

Anyway, while searching EVERYWHERE for an affordable DS collection (we CAN'T go there about how it was in my Amazon cart, with a GC towards it, and how I had to go to the bank myself - couldn't send my daughter, even though she banks at same place ....GGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRR.) When I got back, someone had bought it out of my cart. Yeah, I can't go here.

Again with the anyway, I don't remember where I heard of this film first. It sounded somewhat interesting, but when 'someone' had mentioned it's hard to get ahold of; I was on the go.

I got it, and finally watched it last night.

From what I just read on IMDb, through late-night horror films, it's become somewhat of a 'Cult Classic'.

There were a couple of things about the movie that 'got me'.

The first Twilight Zone that actually scared me, is, I believe titled, "The Hitchhiker".

This had SOOOO many of the same nuances. The film was 1962, and I can't remember if TZ, or CoS came first.

Also, on a lesser note, there was a male character who reminded me of early Willie Loomis; sort of rough around the edges.

(I felt like the lead actress perhaps was gay, I just read the same 'assumption' on IMDb.) No biggie NOW, but 55 years ago!!


If you get a chance, it's worth a watch....but, again, repeating IMDb, alot of you may have already seen this.

(Odd...at the end of the film, there's a few 'minor' listings/etc, that, the main actress went missing from Hollywood....she's not dead, but, I guess Hollywood was dead for her...)

Patti...who FINALLY got her copy of "The Gift" and is watching it now.
