Black is Whack

it rubbed me the wrong way too.

I watched the other features last night, and Richard Matheson talks about how his works aren't horror, but 'terror,' because his stories about blood and guts. Interesting. I wonder why so many people who work in the genre have such a dislike of the term 'horror.'

So I watched the commentary last night and Karen doesn't come across as very nice during the parts with William Nolan. I felt so bad for him! Every time he asked her a question she'd ignore him and talk about something else. He responded to one of her comments about something and she said "No. that's not what i was talking about." What the heck? Who behaves that way on a commentary? Of course, she was gracious to him was when he was complementing her performance in the film. It's a very informative commentary. The best part is the Zuni doll commentary when Nolan leaves. She just made the first two segments awkward to listen to for me.

I was so excited by the Trilogy of Terror DVD and features, and now that I have it, I'm a bit put off by Karen Black. I still love her work, but I mean come on, this is a woman who has appeared in crap like "Curse of the 49er" and "Children of the Corn 4." You're a brilliant actress, you're lovely, you're way underrated...but get off your high horse already?!

Just keep telling yourself...its only a poodle...it's only a poodle!
