Tokage got a reaction from Jigsaw9 in Horror Movies
I'm mostly an '80s b-movie guy myself, but I'll try making a list of '70s stuff just for the hell of it....
1. Suspiria
I just LOVE the surreal effect this movie evokes, the set design is great and the soundtrack was pretty awesome as well. It totally deserves its status as a horror classic.
2. Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Several scenes involving Leatherface unnerved me the first time I watched this movie. There's some sort of really gritty quality to this movie that makes it feel like a hazy summer day and I like that.
3. Halloween
I must admit, I wasn't exactly spooked by this one 'cuz I saw it at a point where I'd already seen too many slasher flicks to care. Still, it's one of the big names in the subgenre and I can definitely see why it ended up being so influential. Never saw any of the sequels, nor any of the remakes. Don't think I'm missing out on much in either case, although I might check out Halloween 3 at some point just for shits and giggles because it's different.
4. Zombi 2
I really love how nasty the zombies look in this one. And as Jig said, dat underwater scene...
5. Hausu
As surreal as Suspiria almost, but WAY goofier. I really feel like this is something only the Japanese could have done. Everything about it is quirky, eveything about it is weird. I can't see this movie actually SCARING anybody, but it's still oh so entertaining to watch.
I guess I ran out of '70s horror I actually saw and found to be legitly good (as opposed to 'so bad it's funny'-good). Whoops. I gotta confess, I sort of disliked Eraserhead. Maybe I need to give it another try, but the first time i watched it I just felt bored more than anything.

Tokage reacted to CAT5 in Currently Airing & Watching Anime Discussion Topic
I got up to ep 25, but which 2 parts do you mean? One of them definitely had to be when Cars took Lisa Lisa's legs and started playing guitar with them! lol

Tokage got a reaction from Jigsaw9 in Last movie you saw.
Last few movies I watched were Coraline and Steamboy.
Coraline's an animated stop-motion adaptation of a Neil Gaiman novel. Of course, it's aimed at children, but I didn't let that stop me. It looks REALLY good visually, and I can imagine that some kids would probably get nightmares from some parts. Overall, I enjoyed it, but it's not going to enter my Top 10 Movies of All Time list any time soon.
Steamboy is... also an animated movie. This time it's one of dem japanese animes, tho. Once again, visually it looked GREAT. Story-wise, I dunno. I think I liked Akira better, if I have to compare the director's works. The ending here felt rather sudden. It was just like ' yep and now it's over '. Some cool steampunk inventions in this one (even though I think steampunk is the corniest shit ever when people try to transfer it to the real world)

Tokage got a reaction from avaritonista in KISAKI conspiracy? Strange things I noticed related to Kisaki's old bands Levia and LAYBIAL
#Wikisakileaks
But yeah, at this point I wouldn't be surprised if Kisaki just made these bands up by himself.

Tokage reacted to Jigsaw9 in BUCK-TICK new single "形而上 流星" release
On the upside, the B-side song has been described with the words "electronica", "industrial" and "dance beats".
(according to google translate, lol)

Tokage got a reaction from sai in BUCK-TICK new album release
Yooo, now let's hope they finally ditch that 'standard' formula and try another style again. With this hinting at collaborating artists I'm actually expecting something different, to be honest..
