The Gates of Hell is in Turkmenistan

"Gates of Hell" was the title given to the American dub of Lucio Fulci's 1980 horror movie "Paura nella cita dal morte vivente," but the literal translation of the title is, "Fear in the City of the Living Dead."

The movie was notorious at the time for...

Gate of Hell is a Japanese period drama, involving a samurai looking to bump off his rival. It's an older movie (early 1950s), and has sat on a shelf waiting to be watched since last year. I think my version came with a rather nice booklet.

Author Dan Brown called Manila the "Gates of Hell" in a fiction novel. Naturally, Filipinos were divided among the snarkers who said "duh it's true" to the reality-deniers who called for Dan Brown's head.

As someone who lived in Manila for nearly 30 years of his life... I always recommend to just skip it. It ain't worth the aggravation. Don't leave the airport, just transfer to your flight going to one of the Philippines' beautiful beaches.

Every Saturday in the summer when I was growing up, my father would take us to my grandmother’s. We would do some chores, have lunch, then go to the beach in the afternoon.

I have walks along the beach most weekends.

Yeah, before you abuse, criticize, and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes

Before I criticize someone, I always walk a mile in his his shoes. That way, when I do criticize him, I'm a mile away and I have his shoes!

Nu Shooz released I Can't Wait back in the '80s. I've managed to wait this long without listening to it.

Stevie Nicks also released a song titled I Can't Wait back in the 80s. It's a song with a sound very much of its time -- which is why I love it!

I dislike horror movies. Too creepy. And I live alone, too.

I used to like horror movies, until they started filming them exclusively in grey-and-deep-brown tones. Part of the fun of those Italian art-gore movies from the 60s, 70s, and 80s was how the bright colors and the crisp lighting contrasted with the dark subject matter.

My brother, discovering lots of films for the first time, quite liked the few gialla that he's seen. I was quite pleased, as I had worked hard to keep my mouth shut about what their qualities were considered to be.

Yay for Thoth's brother!

And yay for Thoth himself!

Yay for all of us!

Nearly another fickles win. I was almost bought off with a yay. Almost. But I see Ibby wasn't having that either

I'm very competitive

I'm not particularly. If it stops being about the fun and about a win my interest vanishes.

The original intent of this game was that it was supposed to be extremely unlikely that anyone would win.

A 7 day version making it even less likely.

I won one of the 7 day versions

Quis is a master at this.

I loved John Simm as the Master. Heck I just love John Simm.
