He's a firm sceptic but he's close to the edge, that's why he's so diligent with his rationalisations. He needs to keep his world ordered, he daren't let his irrational self come to the surface so he's suppressing his instinct rather acting through it.DeadSpiderEyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687178085803686186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857882.post-33355656437890478862012-08-08T18:41:00.190-05:002012-08-08T18:41:00.190-05:00Yeah.

It's too bad, because I don't have any special fondness for the Schwarzenegger version and thought that a remake of it was a pretty good idea.Michael Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12514945570212261283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857882.post-799450333955507162012-08-08T16:56:50.779-05:002012-08-08T16:56:50.779-05:00What a unique choice for recasting.

I think it I saw this one in a theatre as a kid that I would have been a much more fearful kid than I turned out to be. This one will stick with me all my life. I appreciate the thought that went into your recasting. Why doesn't someone remake NIGHT OF THE DEMON instead of the forgettable Total Recall reboot that I saw yesterday and can barely remember.Kalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00663751053844271849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857882.post-57193724021843939532012-08-08T11:47:36.646-05:002012-08-08T11:47:36.646-05:00You should!

I'm glad I didn't, as I would never have come up with a cast as brilliant as yours!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03578320444186472220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857882.post-36542625841919781092012-08-08T11:02:26.402-05:002012-08-08T11:02:26.402-05:00Sweet!

Love your cast by the way, and John Hurt was my second choice for the Emerald Seer in the Krull reboot I did for my league entry.Derek Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01555485192723965604noreply@blogger.com
