for what it's worth I watched the dvd with my mom(who watched the OS when she was pregnant with me)the other night and she absolutely loved it. she thought it was great...


even the explosive woof-i'm-a-werewolf climax, which drove me insane, didn't bother her.

i'm not seeing much of this newfound appreciation...


just today over on one of the FB boards the subject came up to the usual wails of discontent followed by revelry at it's supposed "flop" status. i'm afraid it's created a permanent, irrevocable schism within the fanbase.



today the gripes were less the usual whiteface complaints but that the OS cameos were too brief. so they wanted longer cameos in a movie they despise anyways??? makes no sense.

Thanx, Gerard. Thank you. I know there are some out there that have completely given up the site. Look. I'm telling you, all I said was an opinion of the film. I don't condemn anybody that likes it. I am still a DS fan. I still eat hamburgers and drink containers of coffee with them. I swear to God you are all okay!!! Oh, the humanity...

that's part of my point. that there are those who have "completely given up" on this great, active, well-moderated site because, why???, it has taken something of a positive approach to the film is absurd and highly indicative of the irrationality of much of the fanbase in this regard. I have noticed some regular posters jumping ship after the release and I don't understand why.

again, it's no harm, no foul. so some members and a couple of moderators enjoyed the film. so what? who's being harmed? there's enough other places on the internet to bitch about the film. here it's kept to a minimum but there's plenty of other things to post about.

and really the film's only been out for about a year and a half. it still has something of an element of "newness" to it for a franchise that only has major output news about once every decade or so. it'll die down.

that's not entirely accurate...



you didn't just express an opinion but demanded an explanation and it seemed like an apology.


which is why I thought it was a bit of an overstep. and i'm plenty "chilled".

remember all the wild speculation when the clip of Roger and an unidentifiable blond lady locking lips made the trailer???


was it Angelique? Vicki? or even the rather grotesque suggestion that maybe it was Liz???


but it just ended up being an extra.

the reason I posted this is because it is very evocative of a much-discussed, well-worn maxi Maggie wears frequently on the series.


most of the time Maggie wore a mini. a midi comes to mid-calf.

although I doubt Maggie could afford a ninety-five dollar skirt with all those dime-tippers.
