No offense, Dixon, but the pattern did NOT repeat. Otherwise, "Hop" would have bested "Insidious". Instead, the pattern reversed.
I just meant more the general pattern of talking animal movie & horror movie, but yes, if you want to be fussy about it, the order reversed itself.
Two things:
1. Thanks. Sometimes things bother me and I just have to say something about it. As ridiculously unimportant as your word choice was, it bothered me. I apologize for being such a nerd.
2. I am extremely glad for all of your posts. I was a subscriber back when Movieline was a magazine, and I've been following the website for years. I was ecstatic when they finally chose a writer to post during the weekend, and while I may not agree with all of your posts, I love that you're writing them.
Insidious is freaking scary. Great horror movie without blood, gore, or sex. 😀
