    I haven't seen the remake, no! I only discovered the original when we watched it in Social Psychology class to study peer pressure. It was such a powerful film! Yet others seemed to be bored by it...one girl complained that it didn't have any ~fit~ guys so she wasn't interested. :| There is more to good films than good-looking actors godsdamnit. ;_;

    I will check that out! I haven't seen the Nolan remake although I keep meaning to, so I will make sure I see the original first :D I like doing that with films. Especially films that have their endings changed to avoid upsetting movie-goers, sigh. It's like when the Germans changed the ending of King Lear so that Lear and Cordelia lived. What was the point of the entire play, then? Nothing! Bah! Leave source material as it is! D: Sorry, I get very grumpy about this. >:

    Amelie is an incredible film. I watched it on Film4 at 1am, and the next morning rushed out to buy the DVD so I could make my parents watch it. I love and adore Audrey Tautou.

    Thanks for the link! I'll look into them. :D

    Nosferatu (1922), Metropolis (1925), The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), Forbidden Planet (1956) and 12 Angry Men (1957) are all my favourite movies. I hate it when people say that older films suck because they're in black and white, or the special effects aren't up to scratch. THEY HAD STORYLINES AND GOOD ACTING GODDAMNIT.

    I've not seen Vampyr or heard of the Criterion Collection - I'll have to check 'em both out. Anything that promotes vampires as the creepy supernatural creatures they're meant to be. :|

    I think it was more the movie version of Anne Rice's Interview With a Vampire that turned vampires into pu- er, pretty-boys. - 80's Tom Cruise + Brad Bitt = instant fan appeal. -.- Although I did try to read IWAV and...yeah. Didn't get on too well with it. XD

    And equally, sorry for my delay...my MacBook's wireless card has gone up the spout, so I believe he'll be going in for repairs tomorrow. :|

    That is a fascinating theory! I may well have to look up more on it; I like the idea of the Earth being one big recording machine. Although according to Deep Thought and the mice, it's a big computer. :-)

    No, not yet unfortunately -.- I've been job-hunting and playing Pokémon too much, I swear. But I plan on finishing it tonight, now that my 'net is basically broken. XD

    I hate the romance genre as well, even moreso since fanfiction novels *shudder* like Meyer's Twilight have started up the 'dark romance' sub-genre. The only romance I read is the Sookie Stackhouse books, and that's because a) Sookie is a pro-active female character who doesn't rely on men to get her out of anything, and is thus a rarity; and b) vampires actually kill people, as opposed to sparkling and being generally LAME. Edward Cullen vs. Nosferatu = no contest.

    I believe in ghosts as after-echoes of emotion. I didn't used to, but then we visited the Allied and German graveyards in Belgium and I understood what people meant when they say 'this is a good/bad place'. But I don't believe in ghosts as actual beings who stick around and yell BOO at people. But yes, I thought that Turn of the Screw was simply amazing, so I will definitely check out Hill House :'D I love things like that.

    I am actually reading The Yellow Wallpaper right now! HOW DID YOU KNOW. I got an anthology of American short stories for my birthday, and I'm currently flicking through it.

    Ooooh. That actually makes sense now. Ta :D

    Le Fanu wrote lots of short horror stories, in a similar vein to M. R. James. He was an Irish writer, so they have a nice lilt in the narrative :3 According to Wiki he also wrote historical fiction, but I've only ever read the ghostly/horror stuff. And Henry James's The Turn of the Screw is a masterpiece. We read it at university, then had a big discussion as to whether we thought the governess was mad, or the children really were that weird. I was under the opinion that she was mad AND they were weird XD! I've not read The Haunting of Hill House, though.

    What is the Heisenberg principle all about? I'm forever hearing about it in science fiction, but I never quite understood what the characters were driving at ._.

    Matheson...Matheson...*looks him up* Ahhh, he wrote the original I Am Legend novel! I haven't read any of his stuff (seen the Twilight Zone episodes, if that counts) but I am most definitely a fan of Poe and Lovecraft, as well as Sheridan le Fanu. :3

    Thank you for the complement. It's not often I find somebody who I can actually have such a discussion with.
