Earth is becoming the same. The dementia of Reggie is the same premise in the first Phantasm when Mike remember thing that Reggie don't. Reggie is supposed to be dead in the first film but in the end is still alive. We can't be sure what is reality because it can be mental manipulation of the Tall Man. Like the Tall Man say, Reggies is a toy for him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21048905474250145.post-86399934233922603892016-10-11T00:01:21.983-04:002016-10-11T00:01:21.983-04:00It's nice to see you back at it.

And one thinks that Reg would have already found a new girlfriend and would have scored by now. I'm now awaiting for STAR WARS:EPISODE 8 to reveal that Luke Skywalker has been suffering dementia all of this time as Rey,Finn,Poe,Leia,Three,Artoo,Chewbacca,and a still alive Han surround him,as well as the next HALLOWEEN sequel revealing that either Jamie Lee Curtis' Laurie or Malcolm McDowell's Dr. Loomis has been suffering from dementia all of this time while being a patient at Haddonfield Hospital,with all of the ten films' characters surrounding them. I'll give both Coscarelli and Hartman credit,though,for taking their time on the new film and being heavily ambitious about it.Steven Millanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01153637815591803117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21048905474250145.post-47456240430340866002016-06-17T06:36:01.836-04:002016-06-17T06:36:01.836-04:00I see this Japanese set for $105 plus shipping on ...I see this Japanese set for $105 plus shipping on Amazon jp.

Basically some rental store put a security sticker on the inside of the flap that covers the tape, and the adhesive melted onto the tape. I had to get the adhesive off so it could be played without possibly damaging a VCR. I first opened the shell and cleaned the sticker off the flap so it wouldn't be a problem anymore and reassembled the shell, but the tape still had the adhesive on it and needed to be cleaned.<br /><br />I used a cotton swab with some Goo Gone and gently wiped it on the tape to remove all of the adhesive, then used the dry end to absorb the excess. Wait about a minute for it to dry, you can see the colour change slightly when it does(it will still be slightly darker than regular untouched tape, but lighter than when wet). Then use another cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol to clean up the leftover Goo Gone residue, it evaporates quickly on it's own but still use the dry end of the cotton swab to wipe and absorb any potential excess. Then leave the tape aside overnight to fully dry, it's probably not necessary to do this but I wanted to be sure. When I did this it looked fine the next day, no discolouration or residue was left and it played fine.<br /><br />I tested out the Goo Gone on a blank VHS tape first to see what would happen as nobody else online seemed to have tried it. Nothing melted, no oxide peeled or flaked off, and it could be fully cleaned up afterwards so I felt it was safe enough to use on the tape I wanted to save. I couldn't find any place online saying how to remove sticky adhesive from the actual magnetic tape so I had to experiment on my own. I felt I should share my results as they were successful and could possibly help someone else with a similar issue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21048905474250145.post-61516045999123028372015-08-19T02:33:10.299-04:002015-08-19T02:33:10.299-04:00Ahhh MUSE discs, I love collecting these but it...Ahhh MUSE discs, I love collecting these but it's such an expensive hobby!

It turns out that my Media copy is from 1990 and it's the theatrical version. So they must have realized their mistake and reissued the correct version immediately after issuing the TV cut.

It seems like protagonists in many horror films are just plot devices to fall victim to whatever evil is being portrayed. This is a story about people you can actually connect with. What was also great was the fear of uncertainty that Wan employed throughout the film. Two memorable moments being when Perron heads down to the basement with a lit match and all we hear are sounds. Also the final moment in the film when we peer into the mirror, anticipating something freaky to happen really put me on edge, and drove me crazy when it just cut to black.Party Slashershttp://www.partyslashers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21048905474250145.post-56165533013195390602014-09-25T20:14:20.757-04:002014-09-25T20:14:20.757-04:00Sorry to hear old friend, if you need any contract...Sorry to hear old friend, if you need any contractor related help let me know.Mike Howellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21048905474250145.post-26844884294146684742014-09-18T09:40:04.539-04:002014-09-18T09:40:04.539-04:00sending any good vibes that might help you in this...sending any good vibes that might help you in this time of really bad stuff... be well and know we all will be here on your return.<br /><br />JeremyJeremy [Retro]https://www.blogger.com/profile/09912258155288958827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21048905474250145.post-19493428119834635102014-09-11T16:23:19.640-04:002014-09-11T16:23:19.640-04:00I'm so sorry to hear this.
