: Do you ever laugh at the cheapness of it, though?
The cheapness of it? Say huh? Oh, you mean the cheesy dialog and stuff, yeah, that was stupid (the little girl throwing her doll to Frankenstein at the end whilest he was being sucked into a vortex was a classic movie moment, though). But the creatures looked great. In fact, when I went to Stan Winston studios to talk to him about EVERYBODY'S DEAD they took me through his trophy room, and I pushed all the other creatures out of the way, from Predator to Alien to the T-1000 and looked at the Monster Squad doods up close.
Sidenote: Winston's assistant looks EXACTLY like a prettier, female version of A GNOME NAMED GNORM (directed by who? Stan Winston). Has the same face and everything. But cuter. And her husband is Winston's cheif creature designer, so you do the math as to whether or was a coincidence or not.
They also showed me dino-sketches for JURASSIC PARK 3 and told me what it's gonna be called. So pttttttttthp.
:I bet you wanted to be just like that guy that rides the motorcycle (or was it a dirt bike - it SEEMED like a motorcycle to me, then).
It was a bicycle, actually. And he wore loafers to boot. Not too cool, until you remember the dude lit his matches on the bottom of them.
:Do you ever wish you had a tree fort like that, too?
Wow, just clicked that the NIGHTCRAWLERS work out of a tree-house HQ. uh oh.
