It's been a horrible week for me. Three of my cats died. Two kittens and now their father Screech, who was the friendliest cat I've ever had. I first found him as a kitten clinging to a tree in my front yard, screaming in fear, hence the name. He wandered into my life and into my heart.

Some damn parasitic infection turned him into a bag of bones and I had to put him down today. That cat trusted me like none other. I could lay... Continue »

This means the media importer is broken again. I'll get around to fixing it eventually. You know how lazy I can be...

Another simple one. Every week there will be a new challenge. You can take part in all of them or you can take part in just one of them, it's up to you!

You get one point per minute watched. Add your scores up for each individual challenge and then total them for an overall score if you choose to compete in all four.

Both TV shows and movies count within the genre.

Genre must be tagged on any of the major database sites, i.e. IMDb, letterboxd, RT, etc. Google will not be accepted as G... Continue »

This is the greatest 10 minute trailer you will ever see in your entire fucking life!

Hey legends... For no reason whatsoever, I've decided that '25 is gonna be the year that I catch up on all the great westerns I've neglected and rewatch all the great ones I haven't. Old Westerns, New Westerns, Spaghetti Westerns, Paella Westerns, Zapata Westerns... Good ones, shit ones, whatever...

My own goal is for 50-60 Westerns in 2025; each one reviewed here in some loose way. Maybe some in-depth analysis, maybe just some random thoughts, maybe just me making dirty jokes and calling you a... Continue »

I'm in.

You know how these movies play out. This one is the same ol' concept, but it's somehow better. A woman has a premonition of a tower collapse in the 60s or whenever, and she escapes her fate. Years later, death is catching up to her descendants to finish what it tried to start with her.

The family angle works well with skepticism and the eventual realization that it's not just coincidence. They work together, fail together, and we're given some gnarly scenes and a few fake-outs to keep you guess... Continue »

I did Saturday only with @Der and my pal Justin. Got in the doors pretty quickly and went straight to the main room. There were plenty of people I wanted to meet, but it all depends on the lines and prices.

First stop was Bill Duke. He's known for playing Mac from Predator, Cook from Commando, and Trask from X-Men 3 (who was later recast as a white midget for Days of Future Past). He's getting up there in age, but he seemed in good spirits. I told him I enjoyed a c... Continue »

Not literal assholes mind you, but jerks in film and tv. Some people are so good at playing a jerk, you wonder if they're even acting. Who are some good ones?

Michael Ironside, William Atherton, Christopher McDonald, Michael Rooker, Steven Seagal (asshole in real life), Kurtwood Smith.

I know there are plenty more...

A movie about C-list characters forced to work as a team against a superman rip-off. I wasn't thrilled about the idea when it was first announced, but my interest began to grow over time and the movie was actually pretty decent.

Florence Pugh is pretty good as Yelena. Even when playing a cold hard assassin, she has a lot more personality than Scarlett Johansson, who was always a huge bore to me. Wyatt Russell returns as his "dime-store" Captain America, doing way better than he did in that piec... Continue »

Why was this a priority? Save the replaceable platform so underage girls can continue to shake their booties to try to get out of having real jobs?

a few points.

Im not going to fight

but I will be on the front lines, because I have to

Yeah, let's dig into some crime for the month of May.

We'll keep this easy. 1 point per minute of any crime movie or show watched.


Mark your spots!

Not official, but a fan film. Looks pretty damn professional, though.
Comes out this October.

In Terminator 1, Kyle Reese refers to the machine as "T-800, model one-zero-one" and claims it is just being systematic. Yet in T2, Arnold refers to himself as "T-800, model one-oh-one". Furthermore, the film is set in 1995 and Arnold says John sent him "35 years from now", even though 2029 would only be 34 years from then. I always thought that was strange. I can understand replacing the 'zero' with 'oh' because it's more efficient and less syllables, but rounding the date... Continue »

Anybody have any strong opinions about this? I hadn't watched it in a long time, before I watched it (again) last night.

The Wikipedia page about it says the screenplay writers were VERY critical of the film. They say it left out a lot of important details that they had in the script.

I will have to think more about that. I just wanted to say that I kept being reminded of Arlington Road in various ways, having to do with the characters and the general situations portrayed in the film... Continue »

I rewatched this one. A pretty solid slasher flick, loads better than the first movie from 2008, and also way better than Chapter 1 from 2024. The soundtrack is great, both the score and 80s ballads.

Spoilers for anyone 7 years behind on this: I assume "the" strangers are supposed to be the same ones in all films, hence the newer trilogy being a prequel since they're all dead by the end of this film. This leads us to the dilemma of the new trilogy having no real stakes since the... Continue »

I think I narrowly missed electrocuting myself. Jesus. I'm glad I'm here to ramble about it.

Remember the movie The Believers (1987), with Martin Sheen, Helen Shaver, Jimmy Smits, and Robert Loggia? Remember the scene towards the beginning, when Martin Sheen's character's wife electrocutes herself in the kitchen, while doing routine, normal morning tasks in the kitchen? Well, I think I just missed doing something like that to myself.

My mom recently got me an "electric kettle," which b... Continue »

Christopher Landon was supposed to direct Scream 7, but that fell through. So he gave us another film instead, which happens to take heavy influence from another Wes Craven flick, Red Eye. It's a lot like that movie, except instead of being set on a plane, it's set in a fancy skyscraper restaurant.

The movie is decent. However, in typical Chris Landon fashion, he includes a really annoying gay character. The lead does good, and Brandon Sklenar is pretty suave. He was great in 1... Continue »

To my knowledge, there's no hentai reviews so far on this site. Not even a mention of Boku No Piku. So I figured I'd add some. This was pretty legendary, back in the day, as the most depraved hentai out there. Probably pretty tame by today's standards. Regardless, I'll review the whole series this month. Starting with this one:

Episode 1 – Curious Fruit

You may think you’re all fetishy and sexually open cause you once jerked a dribble out of your quarter-hard peepee to some m... Continue »

I have seen this before, or at least most of it (probably channel surfing). But I just watched the whole thing last night, and I have to say that I'm pretty impressed.

OK, just so you know:this has nothing to do with it being set in Boston. I probably talk too much about Boston here... I don't know, whatever, who cares. But, this is just about the movie.

First of all, I was really impressed with how they showed Denzel's character, Robert, to be a really good guy. Plenty of action type movi... Continue »

The Vinny wants to watch some cartoons! Everyone else, even grotty cunts like Zeddie, is welcome to join in!
I and youse lot gets one point per minute watched. Both movies and TV series count. Live action mixed with animation like Who Framed Roger Rabbit is allowed.

The challenge starts on April 2nd and ends on April 30th.

The winner, which is very unlikely to be The Vinny, will be awarded a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue, provided by yours truly. Yes, that's rig... Continue »

The new Kevin Bacon show on Prime. He's a murdered bounty hunter brought back by the devil to hunt demons in Georgia. He also doesn't like that the guy who killed him is now banging his ex-wife.

Kevin Bacon is a five-star man. The show is decent, mixing aspects of Frailty, Drive Angry, and Ash vs. Evil Dead. Only 8 episodes about 30 minutes each, so an easy watch.

Netflix's 3 seasons were the best thing Marvel ever made. This reboot was... okay. It felt too short to me, and some things aren't explained:

Does Bullseye have superhuman healing? His recovery from getting his spine broken and from falling off a building is ignored.

And how the hell does Matt have strength to fight after getting shot and doped up? I know he didn't do much fighting, but it's still something you have to excuse as comic book logic, and I hate that.

Charlie Cox, Jon Bernt... Continue »

At 25:45 to 26:00 in this video, Jeremy Sisto talks about various demented cults that have thrived in economically depressed areas. If you pause it at 25:56, you can see the subtitles listing the cults he mentions. Most of them are googleable, but he mentions something called "jombola" that I can't find anything about. Actually, to me it sounds more like jambola. although the subtitles say jombola. Maybe something to do with Shambala? I don't know. Anyone recognize what he's talking about?... Continue »
