I don't know what section I should post this in...? Box, place this elsewhere if you want, obviously.

Anyway, I was just thinking about how the characters named Kane in Kung Fu, The Ninth Configuration, the Karl Edward Wagner books, and probably lots of other TV shows, books, movies, comics, maybe story-songs, etc are all likely to be derived from, or at least connected to, the story of Cain and Abel. Just the idea of a dangerous dude named Kane who wanders the Earth, getting into adventu... Continue »

Here's a typing speed test I ripped off for the lulz.

I average around 93 wpm, a couple errors, and 100% accuracy. What about you?

- So as not to polute the shitbox I will keep my crap here. sometimes it feel like its only my shit in the shoutbox, & I feel I have to post, just to keep it relevant. Otherwise its just gonna be no posts for 5 days and then no one feels like posting.
Im just drinking the 99cent liter wine (they raised the price, it used to be 95 cents and before that I remember 85 cents), soon it will be more than 1 euro for a litre of wine, FFS is there no god)

I just wanted to mention an interesting story that I have been thinking about lately. (There are a couple of YouTube videos up of people reading it out loud, by the way). First published n 1941, it's about a scientist who creates artificial life, and accelerates its development until he has his own little artifical creatures who evolve to become intelligent, then eventually they become smarter than humans. As AI develops, I think about that story sometimes. In some ways it just helps me to i... Continue »

I think my original attempt to watch this show was a download on an old computer that eventually crapped out on me before I could finish, and I never picked it up again. Here I am finally getting past those first few episodes and I'm only mildly interested. I wasn't quite getting it until about episode 10, in which the events lead to Swearengen uttering the words, "We're forming a fucking government." Suddenly, it all comes together for me.

Supposedly this is coming out in October. Has anyone been keeping up with any kind of news reports on how it's going? Interviews, social media posts by the actors or crew, anything like that? I didn't really LOVE the 2019 one, but I would still watch a prequel, just to give it a shot. They have a pretty good cast.

I watched this weird drama on the Tubi earler called Bitch. A neglected and cheated on wife is hanging by a thread. Depressed and stressed out to the point of being suicidal. Her unfaithful, workaholic husband checked out a long time ago and is about as uninvolved/self-involved as a family man could be. He works and fucks co-workers and that's about it. The wife runs the family, takes care of the kids, who he may not even know the names of. This guy doesn't care about jack shit, but he's gonna h... Continue »

This is some funny shit. And when I say funny, I mean facepalmingly stupid. They partnered with some trans guy/girl/thing and they're getting a lot of backlash for it. Because bud is a man's drink! No beers for queers!

On one hand, they should have known rednecks would take offense, but on the other hand... who gives a fuck? It's still the same old shit I never bought even when I drank like a fish.

This question gets asked about pretty much every movie that has a dog in it. Nobody cares if the human dies. Kill all the people you want, but if you kill that dog, I can't watch. Not just dogs either, pretty much any animal. Or any mammal, anyway. I can't remember anybody complaining about the death of a fish or a reptile off hand.

Seems weird, doesn't it? I mean, we are humans. It feels like the death of a fellow human should upset us more, but it doesn't. Maybe it's not that way for everybo... Continue »

... looks kind of interesting.

I still won't watch that shit though. I can't even get excited about James Gunn's Guardians 3. Or new Daredevil. Or Deadpool 3, since they hired She-Hulk writers. Brie Larson is hot though.

There are some plot similarities between these two 80s sequels. Both are about families moving into a house with a haunted history that ends up possessing the teenage male of the bunch. Both guys hear voices and have sexual hang-ups too. Jesse is a closet homosexual and Sonny has incestuous feelings toward his sister. Also, the fathers are both assholes played by cool actors.

NoES2 is more of a haunted house movie than you might initially realize. Besides the gradual possession, it's always hot... Continue »

I was into the video games in the early 2000s. Swords and sorcery always seemed cool to me, but then I'd go and watch something like Lord of the Rings and get bored as hell. Game of Thrones didn't do it for me either, so maybe the genre just isn't meant for cinema? Suffice to say, I went in with low expectations, but what a pleasant surprise. I have no complaints about this movie.

For all the nerds out there, this movie has it all. The locations, the races, the beasts, the classes... Continue »

As an impressionable teenager who was eager to get high for the first time, Cheech And Chong's Up In Smoke was right up my alley. As of 1995, I had never even heard of these guys until my sister recommended I check out some of their movies. If I wasn't convinced pot smoking would be a positive experience before I watched Up In Smoke, I sure as hell would be afterwards. For the most part, I was right. Sure, becoming a regular pot smoker put a hug... Continue »

There's another Yellowstone spin-off watched. Very bleak and depressing. Ever see that movie A Million Ways to Die in the West? It's a lot like that. A group fleeing the lawless Fort Worth travels across the country en route to Oregon. Some of them are pioneers. Some of them are clueless foreigners. Most of them can and will die along the way.

It's never very clear as to who will carry on the Dutton family name in these shows, and I think Sheridan leaves that ambiguous on purpose. These... Continue »

I was just listening to an episode.
In case you don't know its a radio show thats been going on for 80+ years on the BBC where each week a (famous) person chooses 8 music tracks (and a book and luxery item) so lets hear yours?

Mine: (work in process), not in order btw

1. The Gunners Dream - Pink Floyd
2. Black Waters Blowed/Engine Broke Blues - Silver Mt Zion
3. Lost on Yer Merry Way - Grandaddy
4. The Black and White - NOFX
5. Baton Rouge - Lou Reed

I'm not seeing any posts about this movie. Sorry, if I'm missing any. Anyway, Maggie is a zombie near-apocalypse story featuring Arnold Schwartzenegger. But, it's not what you might have expected, if that was all you knew about it going into it.

The idea is, there is a sort of slow-moving zombie apocalypse going on. People get bitten, and they turn into zombies, but the transformation takes much longer than in most of these movies. I think they said it takes six to eight weeks for someone... Continue »

What are some movies that you can think of that are just completely ridiculous, have no redeeming qualities whatsoever, yet you watch them anyway, now and then, much like I am watching Weekend at Bernie's right now?

I'll start.
-- Weekend at Bernie's
-- Tammy and the T-Rex (Terry Keiser again! A two-fer)
-- Beerfest

I should start by saying that Re-Animator is a top 5 movie of all time for me. So I can't really disparage all that he's done. I also love From Beyond and Dagon. And that's about it. So I guess it's really only Stuart Gordon's adaptations of his works that I like.

As far as his writings, I find it difficult to get through an entire sentence without falling asleep. Now this stuff was written like a hundred years ago, so you might just be able to say that it was a different time, and writing was... Continue »

No offense, but after watching some of you motherfuckers bastardizing this challenge with so many mainstream movies, I felt I had no choice but to destroy you all. I'm sure you understand. I appreciate your participation, nonetheless, and hope you join me for Trash Challenge VIII.

A man keeps failing at suicide, because every time he dies, he is reborn through the big vagina on his wall. He and his sister are having trouble disposing of his dead bodies, as they keep piling up.

Recommended for lovers of the bizarre. Now playing on Tubi.

Sorry, I've been a little over-caffeinated lately, just in general... I need to get that under control, and resume my normal, fairly sedate pace of posting stuff.

But, what are some movies that fit the above description? I can think a few right away, but there must be a lot that I don't know about.

Here's my starter list:

-- The Running Man
-- Robocop
-- The Stuff (of course. Basically the whole movie).
-- Blow Out (1981, the John Travolta movie) (if you look at the walls of John Travolta's... Continue »

It's that annoying wonderful time of the year for parents like me when kids are off school for the Easter holidays so hey what better way to keep them occupied by watching some cartoons together - kiddy suitable of course, or otherwise...

Rules:

- You get one point per minute watched.

- All forms of animation count, including live action mixed with animation, i.e. Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

- Feature length, TV shows, shorts - they all count.

- The challenge will run f... Continue »

was the golden age for cable tv. Many actors got their start or recognition from these shows at the time. Besides James Gandolfini becoming a star due to The Sopranos there were many others. Micheal C. Hall's role in Six Feet Under got him the starring lead in Dexter. Timothy Olyphant broke thru from starring in Deadwood which later got him Justified. It also resurrected Ian McShane's career. Rome had a great cast that many found themselves later cast in Game of Thrones. Ray Stevenson was the st... Continue »

We live in a world subject to constant change. Every second of every minute of every hour, changes take place. These changes are perhaps invisible to us because our level of awareness is limited. Take for example how the things we do and say to the people we meet, all these things affect our lives, influence our destinies... And yet there seems to be some kind of fantastic order to the whole thing. We never know how or when we w... Continue »
