Lookalikes

Today I received a Minezine newsletter about some of the most striking lookalikes that can be found on totallylookslike.com:






Haha!


Wicked!










Freaky!


Erick Avary is also Hamid Karzai's lookalike, as I already mentioned, remember!




Obvious.


How haven't I ever noticed that?


Funny.

Gotcha!


Brilliant!


I'm always amazed that there are people who think exactly the same, however weird your thoughts are…

The Top 11 Scariest Movies of All Time

Welcome to the Halloween Theme Week! It means that this week, I plan to post videos relating to Halloween.

Today's video was made by thatguywiththeglasses (my favourite YouTuber) for his channel thenostalgiacritic (which had also been deleted by YouTube). He analyses the "top eleven scariest nostalic moments of all time. Why top 11? Because I like to go one step behind".



# 11: The Wizard of Oz

I definitely have to see this movie: it's a reference for many parodies. It's a little bit too kitschy for me, though.


# 10: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (old version: 1971)

Never seen this one too, but just a couple extracts. Too kitschy as well.

"So, what's the deal, Wonka*?" [*pronounced as "wanker", I think…]

# 9: Care Bears Adventure in Wonderland

In French, I think it had the ridiculous name of "Bizounours"…


# 8: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (animated version)


# 7: The snake from Beetlejuice (by Tim Burton)


# 6: Ghostbusters

I was scared the shit out of myself by that ghost librarian when I was young!!

"… a spiritual nanny played by Peter MacNicol. Peter MacNicol is already really scary… Now imagine him in drag trying to play a Mary Poppinsish pedophile from hell and you got yourself a pretty nasty image."

# 5: The child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Never seen, but I heard of it, especially as a musical.


# 4: Large Marge from Pee Wee's Big Adventure (again by Burton)

I saw this movie a couple of years ago, and I regret it… It's one of the dumbest (in the bad sense of the term) films ever. On the other hand, I rather like Big Top Pee Wee (shame on me).


# 3: Judge Doom from Who framed Roger Rabbit

This film stands in the my Top 10 Best Movies ever. I love Christopher Lloyd playing this part. He never blinks in the whole film… And the French version is great, too.

"The vilain is tall, is dark, is Christopher Lloyd…"

"… and you can count the bricks we shit after seeing this scene."

I just love this kind of expressions.

By the way, do you know why the title is written without a question mark? It's due to a superstition in Hollywood saying that you can never put such a sign in a title. Basically.


# 2: the clown from Poltergeist

I still have to see it. Another source of parodies.


# 1: the banshee from Darby O'Gill and the Little People

Don't know that one… But it looks scary… I mean back then it probably was.



Anyway, this is a great list, even though there are other monsters and creepy creaters that'd deserved to be on that list. I'm thinking about the wrath of God at the end of Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark, for instance.
