It's tough to make a complete judgement after only three episodes (I usually try to give shows I'm interested in at least one full season), but as of right now, I'm intrigued to see where it goes and it seems like it will be sufficiently creepy. Furthermore, I think I like the kid who plays Norman as a teenage Anthony Perkins/Norman Bates facsimile.John Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810774557887719483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-18807957752183215642013-04-02T16:24:51.769-05:002013-04-02T16:24:51.769-05:00Because of my love for the Hitchcock original, I h...Because of my love for the Hitchcock original, I have been a little scared of Bates Motel.

If every little change of the BluRay hadn't been pointed out to me, I would have noticed. I noticed every change in every version of Star Wars from the Special Edition to each change made for each version of the DVD. I even notice the little changes in sound and color timing. And yet, I can still watch the DVDs and blu rays, I just notice every change. <br /><br />As I said last week, I have seen <b>Young Einstein</b> more times than is healthy for anyone. <br /><br />I've seen <b>Seven Samurai</b> so many times I can't be in the room with someone who has only just seen it because I fear steamrolling their enthusiastic talk with my own thoughts on the movie.

The perfect 80's action movie where I can remember every kill & one-liner. <br /><br />When I first saw Team America at the theater, there were three scenes that almost gave me a heart attack because I was laughing so much. (The puppets having sex, the puking scene,& Gary's speech that saved the world.) I must pop in the DVD at least once every other month. Due to my biases, I also like rewatching it so much because it bashes the hell out of those elite snobby Hollywood actors. <br /><br /> JK47noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-70525363303069527792013-03-31T22:24:24.825-05:002013-03-31T22:24:24.825-05:00The Fugitive - which makes no sense considering I ...The Fugitive - which makes no sense considering I like other movies better.

For a very long period in my youth up til about high school every weekend would involve a viewing of my spiffy brand new VHS copy of the original trilogy, with extra emphasis on Empire.
