This is probably literally the last place on the entire internet where I should be seeking medical advice. I know that. BUT aaaaanywho, has anyone here had to figure this shit out recently? Like, this winter? If you have spent time thinking about it recently maybe you have something constructive to say. Don't worry, I will try to double check anything you say, but if anybody has recent personal experience dealing with these things, here is your big chance to share any wisdom you may have......

I've been reworking the look of the site a bit, so if you head to the bottom of the page, you can now select different themes for your TE experience. It's like the picture background stuff, which I've tried to mostly retain, but it also affects fonts and a few other details. Try it out. See what you like, and tell me what needs improvement.

If you want to talk about the 2019 Crime Challenge, you can do so here. Feel free to make recs, ask questions, and anything else related to the challenge.

Make your spot for the challenge on the Progress Thread https://trashepics.com/post/8/53/.

I'm reading two. I don't normally read two at time, but since one is a film book, it's easy for me to go back and forth between the two.

Thank you to Psychobeatnik for making me aware of this. Really interesting read, there's films in here I've never heard of.

So in a world of near infinite media outlets, I daily find myself struck but what people think and where they get their information from. So I have a couple of questions for the site.

First of all who knows who I'm talking about in the title?

Second, where do you get your news?

Third, how many hours a week do you listen to or think about news/current events

Fourth, how's your day going?

Post 'em here

There are 11 participants and since no one objected to my suggestion, we will have 3 participants in three of the KOs. Names were picked out using a randomer (not independently verified but you will just have to trust me). So please select whose list you prefer the most. Tell us why. The semis will take place on Tuesday, so you have two days to catch up on some music.

Aka "Aerobicide", Killer Workout starts off with a bang. We have someone getting burned by a tanning bed, right off the bat. It's like that Final Destination shit, only better. Then, we jump right into the best reason to watch this movie... to watch these women exercise.

If you're anything like me, you'll find this stuff pretty hypnotic. God, there are some fine women in this movie. There's also a fat dude riding an exercise bike, but... Continue »

So as a 25 year old white straight christian male, and brace your self for this, sometime I feel marganalized. Don't get me wrong, I know I was lucky to grow up middle class in sub-urban America. I lived in an affluent neighborhood, and yes I was born white and male. What get's me though is that someone how like 40% of the country thinks anything I do is not because of me but because of my identity they want to assign to me. I have the same issue with affermative action in many respects. I don't... Continue »

For the past couple of months @box has been showing me the Rocky movies. I had never watched them before; and believe me, I am kicking myself in the ass for waiting this long to watch them. I loved every single moment of these movies. I am not a sports person, and usually do not like to watch any movies in which a sport is the main focus. But I gave it a shot and never looked back. This is definitely a series in which I hope continues, but if Creed II is the last one, then I am satisfied with th... Continue »

So here it what I propose.

In the future I would like to have a draft going on regularly. More than one may be to much at first, but we may go up as the crowds grow.

So here's my proposal. We should create a single thread that will at as a queue for moderators/hosts to sign up and tell everyone what kind of draft they want to run. Once someone signs up they will then be added to the queue and we go in sequencial order, one, or maybe two, at a time. I've really enjoyed this music draft a... Continue »

People turn to all sorts of things in order to maintain or gain the strength it sometimes takes to make it in this world. Drugs is a big one. Crime in general. Some people get creative, or at least they stumble upon something a little more on the unconventional side. Today's story is about a human doormat who has been shat upon far too long. A born loser who has inadvertently ended up with a strength and determination he probably never imagined to be... Continue »

Over the years there have been so pretty funny, risque', or downright weird commercials out there. Sometimes, they are even better than the program currently being watched. I thought it would be fun to have a commercial thread where everyone can post their favorites. We have a theater, a trailer thread, a music thread, a tv theme show thread, so why not one dedicated to commercials? Here's one of my favorites

The Trash Epics Theater is now reopened. Unfortunately, we have to rebuild. As some of you may know there's a bit of a war going on with YouTube these days. We have to constantly repair and rebuild the links that they remove. The full removal of the theater that I just did will be the one and only time. It was for us to start fresh. YouTube has an agenda against all things horror. It's up to all of us to keep the thea... Continue »

Anybody excited to see the return of Shaft? Now there's a movie I never expected to happen. I was impressed to see the Rocky series is 42 years old and still kicking (punching?), but the Shaft series is 48 years old! Richard Roundtree did a few movies and a tv series in the early 70s, but then he took a few decades off, only to return in 2000s "Shaft", in which Sam Jackson plays original Shaft's nephew, and real Shaft is also in that movie, making it totes legit. Hell, that movie even had Isaac Hayes, notable for doing that great theme song that talks about how much of a bad-ass Shaft is. Daaaamn right! Continue »

This got dumped in The Room thread but here's the trailer for Tommy Wiseau's foray into the shark movie genre with Big Shark.

Welcome to the 2019 Crime Challenge.

Any movie or TV show involving crime applies to this challenge. You don't have to stick with stuff specifically labeled as crime, but crime should be part of the plot. For example, certain superhero or slasher movies/shows. Documentaries are allowed.

You get one point per minute watched.

This challenge starts when February starts and ends when February ends.... Continue »

I'm a Horror guy. So, most of the releases that I notice are naturally of the Horror genre. That goes for the good and the bad. There's of course plenty bad everywhere you look, especially these days. But is it just me or is the whole "so bad, it's good" thing, mostly a Horror thing? It seems to be, although, several exceptions do come to mind. One of which, I recently watched for the first time. I know I've been recommended The Room... Continue »
