Fine. It's still tied with The Exorcist as my top horror film of all time. The Witch rounds out my top 3.

Pratt are you telling me you can't watch Full Metal Jacket or Paths of Glory??? Come on. Two classic war movies there.

Haven't even tried Paths to Glory, to be fair; can't watch FMJ.
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

The Old Woman in the bathtub scene was scary for a Old Woman type reason. It'd been more scary if she had pulled Jack in with her. Where's that Vomit Emote? The first Nightmare on Elm Street movie scared the shit outta me when I first saw it late at night on HBO. I still like to watch it to see Johnny Depp get hacked-up.
"Take a look at that". Sgt. Wilkerson-- CMBN. His last words after spotting a German tank on the other side of a hedgerow.

I'm still working my way though The Secret War: Spies, Ciphers, and Guerillas.  I'm also slogging through The Bombing War: Europe 1939-1945 by Richard Overy.  It's a massive book.  The opening chapters that detail the philosophies and assumptions made by each nation and how this led to differing air warfare strategies was quite good.  Some of the later chapters covering the actual war aren't as good as they don't go into the sort of depth I was hoping for.  The chapters on the Battle of Britain and the USAAF and RAF campaigns don't reveal anything new.  However, the chapters on the Eastern Front are fascinating as much of the information presented in the book is based on newly declassified Soviet documents.

I understand the shock at my Nightmare on Elm Street reveal but please let's focus on Pratt's inability to watch FMJ.

I just watched Get Shorty and High Fidelity for the first time the other night.  Saw Straight Outta Compton last weekend.  What else do you guys want from me?!

I didn't like Get Shorty. But I liked Swordfish. Hell, I liked Last Action Hero and Flash Gordon, so what do I know.
