Y: The Last Man #55

[in_the_blue]

Anyone care to discuss?

- Yorick and his damn dreams. Man, I wondered what the hell 355 was up to in her intervention outfit. I'm so glad it was just a dream. It was bad enough when 711 did it...

- The Infancy Brigade, aka Hero, Natalya, Beth|Beth, and Ciba|Vlad. Of course, I always get really excited when they're in it. Another issue of reprieve for Heroic! She ain't dead yet!

- Kind of a warm fuzzy issue... until the end. What the hell was Beth 1 thinking, flashing Yorick's picture all over the place? Do you think his dream portends that meeting up with her again really will be the death of him? Do you really think there is something wrong with her, like she's said before in Yorick's dreams? I did admire him for questioning whether the two of them would still have anything in common after all this time, and 355's remark about his choice of words was pretty priceless.

- OK. Let's take bets: who's going to kill off Alter? I vote for Hero.

But you know since you've started, you'll have to read the rest of it at least once, right? Even if there is a body count finale, which there might or might not be. I gave up trying to predict exactly what was going to happen and when in this book a long time ago and one reason I love it so much is because it keeps me on my toes.

So I guess that even if there is going to be a lot of doom & gloom (it's Vaughan, of course there will be), it'll be worth the read because of the unpredictability factor alone.

Oh jeez, of course I have to finish it.

I'm reminded of a movie I hold in high regard, for the cast as well as the director - Cronenberg's remake of The Fly. Thought it was fantastic, so much more moving than the original, brilliantly tragic.

Don't think I can ever steel myself to watch it again.

But I'd recommend it in a flash, with warnings. It has the unusual status of being one of only two movies which has actually managed to gross me out (one scene each).

The Jeff Goldbum version? I remember that being fairly disgusting in places.

My favorite movie that grosses me out every time but I can't stay away from it is Event Horizon. Not just because of Jason Isaacs, either, but the whole thing is just entirely too creepy. I knew the first time I started watching it that I'd either hate it or have to buy it.

I bought it.

You gotta remember, though - I'm into SFX. I look at most stuff and merely try to figure out how they pulled off the effect. I don't gross out. :) Normally.

Ah, yes - we keep not having time to see that! You've been wanting to show it to me....
