Hey, someone mentioned Poltergeist on here. Did you all hear about that franchise's curse. Seems, everytime they were making that movie, someone died. During the last one, the third one, sadly, Heather O Rourke died, and they pretty much severed all other projects relating to that franchise.

Ya I heard abou that curse as well. Wasn't the Exorist the same as well?

Anyways, I just finished watching Back to the future part 2 and 3 on Encore Avenue 2 which is a movie central block section of the channel.

I woke up seeing both bttf2 and 3 one after the other presuming part 1 was also on earlier.. They had this playing on AMC alot last week.

Good trilogy. It's sad that Micheal J. Fox can't act anymore due to the Parkison diease. He's such a great actor. The last movie I think I rmeember he was in was The Frighteners?

The Last Unicorn live action movie is iffy, I believe. Word of it came out as early as two or so years ago... Most of the original cast was supposed to return, with Mia Farrow as Molly Grue, as she's, of course, aged. A different Schmendrick was named, but I can't recall who it was at this point... The imdb.com listing is now gone for the movie.

After some research, I found these... though there's tons of good sites out there for the movie and book.

Here's a link to Snopes for anyone interested in the so-called "curse." Very, very interesting read.

^Yeah, that's pretty much what I've learned of the Poltergeist curse. I don't know if it's an actual curse, but the whole thing is just weird. And it's sad what happened with Heather O Rourke, it would have been nice to see what she could have accomplished as an adult actor, since I thought she was quite effective at her tender age.

Very cool finds Jo! It appears Peter S. Beagle is in some sort of lawsuit over the movie (the animated one, but it also explains why the live action one is currently a no go). He never got compensated for payment on a lot of the movie stuff like the DVD release a few years ago. If anyone loves this movie and purchases the special edition DVD from the Conlan Press website link I listed earlier in this thread the money will go to the author as it should but not if you buy it somewhere else.
