Re: Supernatural movies.... and slang... and...
<laughing> Whoo-HOO! Lots of replies! Fun, fun!
Okay, just a brief word on slang: I apologize, I didnt say what I meant correctly. I dont mean that I plan on using slang and bad grammar on a daily business or whatnot, just that in my quick typing I am NOT gonna worry about if my "dont" has an apostrophe -- I reckon y'all can figure it out. And yes, one should strive for proper spelling/grammar, I just dont want to get hammered if I am being "cute" in my typing on purpose... oh, botheration, I shall endeavor NOT to "go there", and this is a silly side topic. <grin> I'll be good. 'Nuff said.
On Kosk: <grin> <waving> Funny that THAT was who you were talking about, Lilibet. <snicker> We 've been accused before of posting too similarly. Rest assured I am NOT he! <laughing>
On Slainte: We're both Irish in descent, funny enough. We both speak a smattering of Gaelic, believe it or not. We both happen to like the lore/legends/mythos of Ireland (and Scotland, for me). And as Koskie says "alternative form o' greeting/cheers from folks not necessarily US/Canadian"... damn Celtic kids, popping up everywhere...
On fantasy in film: Again, I was unclear. (damn overexcited posting, bad Swan, bad!) I did not mean High Fantasy, ie: Tolkien, McCaffrey, although I will look forward to seeing both o'them. Wasnt about to run out and write a "D & D critters fantasy" <shudder> I meant, "modern fantasy/supernatural thriller", and actually my questions have been answered quite neatly. <grin> Thanks to Girl In Grey for the nice concise answer. VERY appreciated. Ditto to Mr Martell. And thanks for all the other feedback, folks. It is mucho appreciated. I'm actually feeling like I'm getting a handle on this... And actually, once I read your posts, it was a silly question for me to ask considering the success of recent films with supernatural-ooh-spooky themes... But thanks!!
Oh, and Steev-O: I dont play the "alternate persona" games on boards. My time is too bloody valuable to waste on childish crap that serves no purpose. So thanks for the "support" on whether or not you "take me seriously"... Isn't that a little rude to a new person, whom you don't know at all? I believe its "innocent until proven guilty"? Believe me, my work is as valid as any other person posting here, and I shouldn't be "punished" for past folks' foibles. Not trying to preach or pick a fight with you, sir, just asking that mayhap you can suspend belief or impressions until you've actually "seen" more of me? Thanks for input, though.
I understand that previously KsK has been accused of being "falsely supportive and 'sweet'." Nope, not so. And I am the same way: I'll be supportive of folks and thank them for their opinions no matter HOW they differ from mine. Everyone is entitled to one, no? And everyone has something valuable to say in one way or another -- just kinda hard to pick it out sometimes...
Abject apologies, all, for the length of this post.
