One of my favorite books. But I think it might beat up Andre's brain, given how much of it plays with the notion of elastic and non-adjacent space.John Enohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12524338101149267962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-20720516046683571342010-09-01T13:47:48.186-04:002010-09-01T13:47:48.186-04:00R.

I think I'll leave that for when I feel less crazy...which is never. <br /><br />I haven't seen the sequels since I was young, but in Poltergeist Tangina says it is more of a purgatory type place. A resting area between Heaven where spirits have not passed on because Carol Anne's light is such a distraction. <br /><br />I don't know about II but I think the Grandma wanted to stick around and protect them, so that could be why she chose not to "go on".Andre Dumashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07170879111034420803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-58042020181812234022010-09-01T13:14:57.821-04:002010-09-01T13:14:57.821-04:00The afterlife...the other side I guess is supposed...The afterlife...the other side I guess is supposed to be heaven or something. Cause when they go to the other side in part II, they get to see their dead grandma floating around like some angel. <br /><br />My question is why was grandma all alone on the other side? Why werent their more angels flying around? And if its heaven, then why did the bad guy suddenly show up? <br /><br />Its true, the whole idea behind the other side on the Poltergeist films is confusing, but I dont care, it makes for a fun film non the less. <br /><br />By the way, Ive been enjoying your Poltergeist posts, these three movies are some of my favorite supernatural films! Mainly because they focus so much on the importance of love and family.Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-22702038052447592872010-09-01T12:34:49.009-04:002010-09-01T12:34:49.009-04:00You haven't read The House of Leaves, have you...You haven't read The House of Leaves, have you?

I can't say that I have as much experience with or have thought as much about this aspect of Poltergeist but it really does seem like a frustrating, unsolvable problem. Likely, the filmmakers don't even have an answer to your question which is also frustrating.<br /><br />I'll have to rewatch this and think about it...Matthttp://www.noroominhell.comnoreply@blogger.com
