...it's a good time to write about a horror movie. Jeepers Creepers (2001) was on yesterday and I got to see it all the way through. Not bad. I had seen a 1/2 an hour of it a few years ago and for whatever reason didn't catch the rest. I remember I thought the actor who played the brother, Justin Long, was the guy from The Doom Generation. Nope, that's somebody else.
I don't have much to say about the movie, but one thing always seemed odd to me and I could never figure it out: during the scene where the brother and sister are getting a police escort, the song "Peek-A-Boo" comes on the radio, but it's not Siouxsie and the Banshees. It's kind of a watered-down cover. I don't get that. Maybe the Siouxsie version was just too dated (yeah, 1988), maybe it's too weird with that accordian and everything. Still, I think the original version would've been more effective. It's loud and jarring.
On a side note, I used to share a room with my younger brother and and he'd be stuck listening to Siouxsie and the Banshees (not much like the Metalica and Megadeth that he liked). One time we were watching Beavis & Butthead and they were watching the video for "Peek-A-Boo"; one of them said, "This is music for people who don't have any friends", and my brother laughed and laughed.
