the copy i have has had ALL the deleted scenes reinstalled and longer versions of some scenes also reinstalled and you would not believe how it changes the story line.

if you rented it you most likely got the short one (has over an hour cut out of it) and it is dam hard to follow what is going on

Hey Flood,

I got a VHS tape that was all they had, and it really felt like I started the movie in the middle because things weren't explained very well. I have since been told that it was first a book and if I would have read it more of the movie would have made sense. Im sure it was a good movie at the time.

I do like nostalgic things that bring you back to a different time in your life. I for one love, love the smell of an outboard, heavy oil 50/1, Just the smell alone takes me back to being a kids and working at our family Marina. Those were some of the best times of my life as a kid. That and boat wax, My job for every summer was gasing boats and waxing them.

sorry I just got side tracked, :D

what if you wait 2 years to do it?

On a movie note, 2 of my children went and auditioned last weekend for the Children of the Corn remake they are doing here in Iowa. If they get parts, I might have to go see that one in the theatre. :D

If anyone has see the original and remembers what Malaki looked like, there was a look-alike there at auditions and they pulled him right out of line and took him inside for screen tests. :)

Lots of hopefuls...they weeded them out by coming out and saying "if you don't know what this movie is about, you need to do some research. If you can't handle blood and gore, killing your parents and other adults, then you need to go." That got rid of quite a few...it was really interesting to see how many people showed up for a movie audition, not knowing what the movie was about.

Am I to take it your kids stayed??? :lol:

Twilight Flyer 08-20-2008 02:10 AM

Are you kidding me? Brandyn wants to BE Malaki in the movie. :shock:

Twilight Flyer 08-20-2008 02:12 AM

Oh, I forgot to add. One of the things the casting people said to whittle down the throng was "if anyone has braces on their teeth, you are disqualified. No on in this movie would be wearing braces."

That and "you can't be afraid of machetes."

:lol:

That is really interesting! I have always wondered how child actors get "in" to the business. I hope that he gets cast! That's exciting!

Twilight Flyer 08-20-2008 03:31 AM

Well, if they do get cast (long shot at best) it would be for background extras. I can't see them getting a speaking part, though I can see Brandyn stalking the streets of town with a machette and a hockey mask, looking to hack up young virgins. :shock:

Seriously, Brandyn has always wanted to get into that industry in one form or another, whether acting or doing voice overs. He's a master at impersonation...can hear a voice and then nail it. And he's a ham through and through.

We've got a YouTube video out from last year where we did the Numa Numa song as a family. If you want to see it, go out to YouTube and search for keywords "kbkreative" or "numa nine". That should pull it up. Brandyn is the obvious one.

:lol:
