Paranormal Activity - I didn't even finish it. The girl was cute though. -- nm - Inigo Oct 19, 12:35 9
- The movie was a dud. A "scary movie" for people who don't like scary movies. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 19, 12:35 8
  - The camera device was a huge hinderance. If they had done some scenes with the camera, and some not, it would have worked better. - Inigo Oct 19, 12:38 7
    - agreed. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 19, 12:40 3
      - I know you're a Blair Witch lover too. It seems like the makers of Paranormal saw Blair Witch, but never understood what made it scary. - Inigo Oct 19, 12:43 2
        
        Yep and I agree... - Mel Profit Oct 19, 12:47 1

  - Modern English, Erasure -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 19, 12:48

    - That feels 70s to me. -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 12:44 2
      - It was. You need to move to Keep On Lovin' You, Take it on the Run, and I Can't Fight this Feeling to get into the 80s -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 19, 12:46 1
        
        Or what I posted, which was the better song, as well. -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 12:47
- Do I Have to Say the Words? and Let's Get Rocked are 90s. -- nm - Reagen Oct 19, 12:42 4

  - You misspelled "I Will Be There". -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 12:45
- looks like just a list of songs, not a "mix", to me... -- nm - znufrii Oct 19, 12:41 1
  - remember 'mixed tapes' from the 80s? it's "mix" used thematically. -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 12:42

    - I'm guessing I've heard most of them before, but know them well enough to know the title? Maybe 30% - musubi Oct 19, 12:42
  - dude. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 19, 12:39
- WTF, Max? "Max, make an 80s playlist" *clicks "All 80s songs"* "DONE!" -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 19, 12:38 3
  - It would take you the whole decade of the 80s to listen to the entire playlist. -- nm - Inigo Oct 19, 12:40 1
    - It's like when we ask polls for "What state does X" and you just post a list of all the states -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 19, 12:41
