Kamamura: Briefly I return, unable to sleep, and I ask all here - what is this hellish Keanery?

srilumpa: "unable to sleep" you say? It must be Keane's way of telling you that you need to buy 125 copies of Tiny and Big.
Well, Keane giveth, and Keane taketh away, I suppose.

Let me click those buggers off...

IAmSinistar: Black and white for the win! Though so many horror films lower the luminance and wash out the palette that they really aren't colour anyways. Except for all the red.
Yeah! (or should I say Hell Yeah?)

How many times haven't you wished that a good number of colour horror films were in black and white?

joppo: "Well, dear sir, I shall start my tale then. I was born in a moderately poor house, the third in a family of eight siblings in a small village close to the lovely Bavarian plains. It's an admirable region to live in, not too cold in the winter and a fairly adequate place to create a bit of livestock. But where I was? Oh yes, the house. Our house was not too shabby, and it was comfortable enough that one or other neighbour always asked us to keep their children for a few days while they were away. These neighbours were merchants and they spent several days on the road at a time, visiting villages all over the region and up to the north, selling their wares. We had their kids with us during those days, and we didn't mind them. They were nice company, if a bit uneducated. But I digress. As I was saying... Say, are you sleeping, my boy?

Good lord, some people have no manners!"

Disclaimer: I have no idea if anything I wrote is even remotely true, including the geography or descriptions. I also don't know the meaning of "shabby".

omegaunit: Epic, I'm also really impressed that you can still form entire paragraphs :)
Ah that's because I got pretty much all I really wanted from the sale when Valdis Story came up yesterday. I slept a decent night's sleep then, and although I kept trying for the eventual freebie even during work today I am somewhat rested.

txnca: I prefer black and white as well. Most of the Hitchcock movies were in black and white and they are very good. Today's horror movies use gore for scary and it isn't scary.
But that is just preferring better movies, isn't it? If those movies were made today and in colour, they'd still be good. Just as there are good horror movies out today that rely on atmosphere instead of gore. Black and white CAN be a tool to get a certain mood but most horror movies were made in b&w simply because they couldn't be done in colour at their time.

just for the stats: I bought tiny, so my part is done - but there are still 112 left..

zillatain: I'm back!...again...

Wow, you people talk too much. Just finished going through the previous 120 pages (20 posts per page), to see what everybody was doing since I was last able to connect to the internet. Started to despair that the sale would be over before I reached the end (or is that current?) .
Well this forum post is the most fun game to play while we wait. Welcome back and Ty for the updated list.

B&W is and also has been used in movies to kind of hide and tone down the amount of blood and gore on screen in order to get a lower age rating from censors, at least here in the U.S.

Actually, Technicolor was developed in 1916, and used in Hollywood from about 1922 on.
