  1. I am in the mood for a Thriller  ?

     

    Ask your questions! 

     

    1)  Does the IMDB page for this film have a "Content Rating" of R, NC 17, or Not Rated?  Yes

     

    2)  Does the IMDB Page for this film list it's genre as one of the following: Horror, Comedy, and/or Adventure?  No

     

    3)  Does the IMDB Page for this film list it's release date After December 31st, 1999?  Yes

     

    4)  Would it be classified as a blockbuster?  No.  Not released in cinemas in the USA.

     

    5)  Does the movies Title (including "the") have 3 or more words in it?  No

     

    6)  Has it won any awards outside the US?   Yes.  It won an award for Best Direct-to-Video Film at an International festival of horror and science fiction films.

     

    As this movie may be more obscure than I thought, time for a hint - one of the trio of actor siblings is a main character in this film.

     

     7)  Does it contain an Olson sister?  No

     

    8   Does it contain any of the Hemsworth brothers?  Yes!

     

    9)  Is it a Korean film?  No

     

    10)  Is it Triangle (2009) with Liam Hemsworth?  Yes

  2. They will be making a real mistake if they don't open with the prologue IMO.  It was what drew me into the world, rather than the bland generic "boy has to run from home because evil beings are hunting him" that has been used so many times before.

  3. Speaking as a woman who is not at all weak or defenseless, I have to say I found nothing wrong with Perrin spanking Faile.  She was acting like a child and deserved to be treated as such.  There is a major difference between a spanking (which doesn't hurt the body, merely pride) and beating the living daylights out of someone.

     

    As to Faile wanting Perrin to stand up to her, I can relate to that.  She wanted to be treated as an equal, not have Perrin walking on tiptoes around her.  She was trying to find the boundaries, what she could and could not get away with.  If my man just caved in to whatever I demanded and would not debate with me about our differences in opinion, I would have zero respect for him.

     

    To the people arguing about the relative strengths of men and women, I have to say I am stronger than most men I know.  However, regardless of strength, there is more than one way for a woman to defend herself.  A woman has the ability to make life hell in ways you could never dream of in such a way that it can not be traced back to her.  The idea that a woman has the ability of a child to defend herself is HIGHLY offensive to me, and no doubt to all the other ladies who come across this thread.

     

    With regard to the idea that Perrin should run with his tail between his legs back to Rand, as Mr Ares said seeing flashes of Rand when he thinks of him in no way gives Perrin the ability to pinpoint his location.  Yes, he could have sat on his arse for days on end, thinking about Rand and getting flashes of Min and Rand going at it like rabbits, or various undistinguishing rooms. 

     

    But there was also the problem of the Prophet, who flat out refused to travel via gateway and had no intention of going to Rand in any case.  Perrin relected on a few occasions that he'd love nothing more than to shove Maesema though a gateway, but there was the issue of his army of murderers and madmen who would have done their best to wipe Perrins' forces off the face of Randland.  Should Perrin have let the Prophet go, pillaging the countryside and increasing the size of his army?

     

    Perrin did what he had to do to save the only family member he has left in the world. If he lost her, I believe he would have turned to the Dark so he could get her back.
