When I was a kid, I already thought of TCM as an old movie. It was about 20-25 years old then, and now it's half a century old. Sure, it's not like the series has any solid continuity, but it's not about those movies. The original is the only real nightmare, and so many of that cast and crew has been vanquished to time. Such a strange pill to swallow.

It sure did leave a mark, didn't it? Several people still think it's a real thing and claim to know the guy in a 6th degree kind of way. Several... Continue »

Emilio Estevez, Cuba Gooding Jr., Stephen Dorff, and Jeremy Piven are headed to a boxing event night in Chicago, but escaping from a traffic jam leads them through the bad part of the city. The part where gangsters like Denis Leary are killing people. After a whole ordeal, Denis does in fact kill someone, but our four heroes happen to witness said act, which puts them on the run from the gangsters out to silence them.

It's a pretty solid movie, asking its viewers how they would react in these s... Continue »

I am a compassionate, intense lover, and can make any woman orgasm in under 15 seconds using only my fists.

Rules 1.
1. One point for each letter of the alphabet plus # or symbol (up to 27 in total).

2. Alphabetize the entry by the first significant word of the title (no "a", "an", or "the".)

3. For the # to county, it must be spelled out in the titles.
Examples:28 Days Later (2002) - Counts as #.

The 6th Day (2000) - Counts as #.
Three in the Attic (1968) - Counts as "T".

4. A movie that starts with hastag ("#") can count either as # or based on the first letter of the title. Example... Continue »

Im not going to fight

The 80's were quite a time for kid's movies. Quality kid's movies. Extremely marketable kid's movies. Probably the golden age if we're being honest. And I think that might have a little to do with the fact that so many of these now old school kid's movies also appealed to adults. There was no Barney. And there certainly were no retard Minions. Just PG movies. They didn't even have to be G rated. Movies like E.T. or The Goonies. And OK. Maybe the m... Continue »

In 2.5 years in office, Biden has taken 367 vacation days. What a worthless cunt.

Halloween is inspiring me to clean my house. You can't decorate a garbage dump.

I've been thinking a lot about how I can make this October/Halloween as awesome as possible. I have a few kiddie activities planned throughout the month for my nephews, and I want to get them started on horror. They're in elementary school, they're old enough.

Naturally, I love binging horror in October like anyone else, and I will do that, but I need to engage in some real world traditional Halloween shennanigans.... Continue »

First of all, everyone go read shadow-345's posts about this movie. I wouldn't have watched it if not for his posts. I'm gonna try to watch it again soon, by the way, because it was very late in my time zone when I watched it and I was dozing off by the end.

Having said that, I basically liked it. The monster (supposed to be an ancient pagan deity actually, if I got that right) seems to be intended to represent a sort of combination of berserker barbarian fury and sheer (raw?) animal power... Continue »

Wtf does that even mean? I'm wondering about fictional characters from movies and tv shows who have infiltrated our reality and became personalities in their own right. A few examples of wtf I'm blathering about:


Garth Merenghi of Darkplace was an actor (Matthew Holness) playing a character (Garth Merenghi) playing a character (Rick Dagless, MD), so this meta approach is already inherent and part of the charm. He's broken through to our world with written works. Novels. Crap novels hopefully,... Continue »

Daniel Radcliffe plays an internet troll who gets abducted by some darkweb group that livestreams people pitted against each other in assassination plots.

This movie has many parallels to the 2016 movie Nerve, which was about extreme dares. A fun movie in itself, but not nearly as violent as Guns Akimbo. Radcliffe is a decent actor, but Samara Weaving is always a blast. Especially when she spends half the movie trying to kill our protagonist.

Sometimes, I find myself in need of a... Continue »

Didn't really know what else to call it . But anyway for the month of July, I thought why not mix up a few "popular" genres that we don't usually cover in a whole month. The idea is to watch as many movies (or TV shows if you can fit it in) of that respective genre in a week and add up the cumulative total at the end (they can also score them individually as 4 mini-challenges): 1 point per minute watched, as usual.

Here are the dates to put in your diaries:

Elon must really hate Twitter. He bought it out, fired everybody, refused to pay rent on the headquarters, and now he's changed the name. Not like I ever use Twitter^X except to view sluts, but it is weird. I guess it's cool that he bought it out only to stomp it into the ground. Classic Elon.

I don't understand his desire to turn X into an everything app. That kinda defeats the whole purpose of an app, being a program to perform a specialized task (ie email, camera, calendar,... Continue »

Eventually. There are too many. Half that shit doesn't get talked about here anyway. I'm pretty sure most people don't even pay attention to the boards here, but I do. Sometimes.

Posts will not be deleted, but moved to a similar board.

Well, this was just announced. On July 4th, I remember telling ballz that I was surprised they haven't tried to remake/reboot RotLD yet, but they be listening!

Now, I haven't even seen part 4 & 5 since they seem to have little to do with the first 3, and they don't even have the right zombie type in there. I guess those movies killed the franchise for a while, but they're bringing it back to life. Or at least they'll try.

Is the zombie genre too lame and exhausted for this to work again? W... Continue »

FX's Justified ran for 6 seasons from 2010 to 2015. I was drunk off my ass when I watched it, so I barely remember anything about it, except that I liked it. Set in Kentucky.

We're 3 episodes into the new season and it's pretty good, and pretty standalone with Olyphant being the only returning character (thus far). Set in Detroit, and we all know scuzzy Detroit makes for a great setting.

Boyd Holbrook is an antagonist in the show. He always plays a good scumbag. Typecast as a villain mo... Continue »

As a film buff, I wanted to collect all the classics. Cinematic achievements, good performances, groundbreaking for this or that reason. It seemed a doable task because there weren't nearly as many being released as there are today. I can't keep up with all the shit that comes out now.

I still support my local movie theater because I'm a sucker. I see movies. And while I see movies I like, will I ever see a movie that moves me? Have all the stories been told? Has technology made it too easy for... Continue »

So something my dad said got me thinking about this recently. My eldest son, who will be 11 next week, stayed over at his grandparents' house recently and because his grandad had never seen the movies before, he wanted to watch The Dark Knight trilogy with him. A few days later, when I was chatting to my dad he said to me: "So you let Zack watch The Dark Knight then?!" as if it was something he should never had seen at that age (well actually he was 7 or 8 when he first watched it). Well it's a... Continue »

Harrison Ford has still got it. The opening is a prequel bit, and there's a lot of hoopla about him being de-aged. It looks okay. There are still little ticks that look fake, and while he appears young, he still sounds old.

Cut to the present. 1969, NYC. Indy is actually old and ready to retire. However, there's always some asshole artifact that prompts a larger than life globe-trotting adventure, but it was fun. Not gonna lie, I have no beef with this movie.

Mads is a template Nazi villain he... Continue »

There's a lot of talk about this lately. I love the idea, but the practice scares me a bit. You can see "AI" generating images and video now, and some of it is quite good. That facial recognition technology is already pretty scary, but full on AI is all the rage now? RIP John Connor. Your fate was pretty dark.

Elon Musk suggests that people and humanity is the most interesting thing in and out of our world, and his logic is to cement that mentality into the programming. That ought to eliminate... Continue »

A Twitter thread by Don Coscarelli:
https://twitter.com/DonCoscarelli/status/1677683669027409920

From that wikipedia guy, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_(genre)

The Western is a genre of fiction set in the American frontier and commonly associated with folk tales of the Western United States, particularly the Southwestern United States, as well as Northern Mexico and Western Canada.

The frontier was commonly referred to as the "Old West" or the "Wild West" and depicted in Western media as a sparsely populated hostile region patrolled by cowboys, outlaws, sheriffs, and numer

Sorry, but clowns are shit. I mean, come on! They're basically just people who want to make a living in comedy, but lack either the guts or talent to become a comedian. Instead, they choose to hide behind makeup and go for the easiest possible audience. It's a pathetic existence when you think about it. Going through life pretending you've found your calling while settling for this less-respectable version of what you'd rather be doing. I suppos... Continue »

Well, the best way I can describe this movie is Straw Dogs meets Troll 2.

Just after learning they're pregnant, Jamie and Maya suffer a home invasion where they are beat up pretty badly. They decide they must leave London and move to a small Irish town where Jamie just inherited a farm house from his deceased aunt.

Jamie, by the way, is the most pussified character you will ever see. He's constantly getting bullied, he always lets people talk shit to him and his wife, he even dives behind his... Continue »

Eliana Miglio plays the girl in the tent who gets menaced and killed by a demon, in the movie within a movie shown in the cinema, in Demons (1985). She can be seen here, off and on for a little over a minute, starting at 26:55.

My point that I'm trying to make here is the following: she was a babe. A BABE. That is all.

No no no no! There shall be no quarreling, and no dissent of any kind. This is my final word on this topic, and there is no pos... Continue »
