I think that's your Superman bias showing. I didn't say I would rather play Superman at the same point level because I think he's more competitive (although I do), but because just the push protection alone makes him more 'playable'. As far as him really being All-Star Superman, well...I guess if you compare him to everything else in the Superman set that is so, but to me he's statistically 'regular Superman'.

Black Adam isn't a bad piece. I actually had Fortitude (which my buddy complained about) Auto-Regen and Shellhead on him. I went with Fortitude partially to be a dink about his Outwit (I do that sometimes), but also because normally the brick gets focused on and WILL take damage when you don't want them to be, and he seems particularly vulnerable off his absurdity SP defense clicks.

As for Repulsion, I knew I'd seen it but had to hit imdb to be reminded of the specifics. It's one of those films (this one was by Roman Polanski) that probably would be better to stumble across than sit down with because of specific recommendations.

I don't have a lot to add except to say I am enjoying the horror conversation.

That, and the only movie to ever give me nightmares was 28 Days Later.

Every Lovecraft story ever with a mummy was terrifying. "Under the Pyramids" is not a good story by any reckoning (except that Harry Houdini is the protagonist) but the mummies in that are SCARY.

And the fact that there aren't that many good mummy movies is a point that I've been making for literally like a year. There aren't good mummy movies because mummies are underused, not because they're unusable. If a fiftieth of the zombie movies that get made were mummy movies, you would change your mind.

Having played approximately as much Horroclix as you did, I heartily disagree. I loved Horroclix, but it had the troubles.

Oh yeah? Interesting. In my experience his inability to push (or he loses his crazy defense power) makes him very awkward to use. If he is massively feated up I guess he could do well, but then again that's true of most bricks of reasonable size.

Which point value did you use him at?

Great little flick!

Yeah, Sandra Bullock chic-fliks can be pretty scary.

I just started laughing out loud in my English class when I read today's Dinosaur Comics. Well played, dinosaurs.

Oh my god. Then I saw the link to this. My professor is giving me a dirty look.

Okay, I didn't get the dinosaur one, but that one was funny.

It's all there for yah, cc. I know how quickly these threads go, so it's easy to get lost in the sauce.

Oh, okay. I missed that.

I'd be interested to hear more details (or, honestly, to have seen the games), but that's entirely different from my experiences with him. Interesting.

I'm sure I'll end up playing him again, but it might be for another month. I got a backlog of stuff to play that's getting longer seemingly by the week what with all the product out and coming out soon.

So, in saying "For me" you're saying that horror is subjective to each person?

I mean, I dunno. I've watched Svengoolie since I was a kid. But when I got older, the kids that I watched Sven with were all into Fangoria and the John Carpenter The Thing and stuff like that and that wasn't for me. I liked my broadcast TV "horror" just fine.

So, since then, I haven't typified myself as a "horror" film guy. Therefore I feel like the Fangoria people could/should tell me what the definition of horror would be.

I'd say a lot of those lists take into consideration things that are missed by people today.

Nosferatu was groundbreaking for its time and we have it to thank for influence on many of our favorites and the genre in general, but it probably comes off as a snooze fest for the rest of us now.

I wonder if Bride was the first "sequel" and that's why it made the list.
