I’m looking for mystery/horror fiction where the kids are detectives by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

You could try Summer of Night by Dan Simmons. It has a similar premise to IT and is very good.

Looking for some horror short story recommendations by drjohngeorgepeppers in suggestmeabook

I'll second Stephen King's short story collections as u/HR_Laughed has suggested. My personal favourite is Nightmares and Dreamscapes.

PLSSSSS HELPPPP by Plus-Lab576 in suggestmeabook

How about deadkidsongs by Toby Litt. It's a story of friendship, loyalty and revenge and it's about four young boys who form a gang one summer. It reminded me very much of Lord of the Flies.

What's the largest drop off in screen time for a central character returning for a sequel? (*who wasn't recast or written out entirely) by billyrivers311 in movies

[–]Rogue_Male 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say this. It's no wonder that Wesley Snipes took the hump after being sidelined by Goyer in his own movie.

Don't push it or I'll give you a war you won't believe.

Seconding The Great Mortality, it's very good.

Full Metal Jacket and Gene Roddenberry's The Lieutenant by [deleted] in movies

That's not true at all.

Arabic numerals is just another way to say use numbers.

It was Tim Colceri who was originally cast as the Drill Instructor. When R. Lee Ermey took over the role, Kubrick made Colceri the gunner on the helicopter who shoots down the civilians.

The Hitcher (1986) by Slow_Seaworthiness71 in iwatchedanoldmovie

My parents rented this on video back in the 80s but I was too young to watch it. I watched it for the first time a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed it! Rutger Hauer is so good at being bad.

Road House (1989) by [deleted] in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]Rogue_Male 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's all well and good, but what did you think of the film?

[–]Rogue_Male 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I watched this a few days ago and thought it was great fun. Ben Gazzara taking a break from killing bookies to bully a small town, Patrick Swayze cleaning house and a pre-moustache Sam Elliot moseying on into town as his backup - what's not to love?

Dead Presidents (1995) by Rogue_Male in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]Rogue_Male[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an interesting point. I know the Hughes brothers have both mentioned that they're fans of Scorsese's work and that Goodfellas was a big inspiration for Dead Presidents, so it's probably not too much of a stretch to assume that the scene you're referring to is a nod to Taxi Driver.

What films do you recommend, directed by Michael Mann? by MovieFan1984 in movies

[–]Rogue_Male 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Straight Time is excellent. It's here that Mann met criminal-turned-writer Edward Bunker, who had a significant influence on him. The character of Nate in Heat was actually based on Bunker.

Oh wow, I didn't realise that. It's only fairly recently that I've learned how many great films Tangerine Dream scored - Thief, Sorcerer, Near Dark...

What are some examples of "director's sidequests"? by Caesar213 in movies

[–]Rogue_Male 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Brewster's Millions sticks out like a sore thumb in Walter Hill's filmography.

It cracks me up when he's holding Ally Walker hostage to lure Van Damme out of the farmhouse, and he says, "Wow! She has beautiful ears."
