I had posted about this in another thread, but wanted to make a dedicated thread for it. This is a text based roll playing game that requires almost no effort can be really really fun. The following post has the rules and a very boiled down example.

So I've been tossing arround this idea of fantasy box office. Like fantasy sports each week we have a line up we play say 3 actors 2 writers 2 directors and 1 producer. We then get points based off of box office numbers and possibly dvd sales for each week(not sure if thats a gettable number each week). We would have a draft and each person would draft say 20 people round robin style. We would start at a certian date and go for like 12 or 16 weeks picking a lineup each week and then have a tourn...

So Hell Fest is out on dvd already. It had a limited theatrical run, which is surprising for a genre title like this one, but when big names are involved... anything is possible. When I say "big names", I refer to their selling point that was important enough to put on the poster: From an executive producer of The Walking Dead

It's almost as if Bruno Mattei had plans of jumping on the Cannibal bandwagon all along, but fell asleep for 20 years, only to wake up and carry on, business as usual. Yeah. In 2004, Bruno Mattei made a genuine Cannibal movie. True story. He did lots of stuff in the 2000's, including several more Cannibal entries, along with a Zombie flick or two. The old guy obviously wasn't much for timing, but better late than never, some might say. Mattei... Continue »

Netflix recently added "Jason Goes to Hell". What image do they include for it? An image from "Jason X", of course. Same movie, right? Might as well be to the dimwits who pick and choose that stuff, and don't care for the genre enough to even make sure they even have the right movie. Continue »

I was just thinking about the name Bennell, in IotBS. It's a pretty uncommon surname. I have never met anyone with that name in my life, as far as I can recall. It makes me wonder if they were trying to make some kind of statement, by naming the character that.

It might be a reference to Luis Bunuel, the surrealist filmmaker...? That would make a certain amount of sense. Especially when you consider Mathew Bennell's broken car windshield in the 1978 film. He had to drive around for prac... Continue »

Anybody care about the 'Alien' franchise? It had a movie in the 70s, 80s, 90s[x2], two shitty spin-offs in the 2000s, and two more prequels in the 2010s. The Prometheus movies didn't do much for some people. Kind of hit or miss. I thought Prometheus was an interesting, albeit barely relevant backstory to the first Alien movie, but in a sense, that's what I liked about it. It featured the mechanics of an Alien movie, without the xenomorphs themselves. Alien Covenant had a few 'memberberry moments... Continue »

Hey mate, you’re still in hospital I take it. I’ve just arrived in Barcelona so are pretty bored at present no pc etc to fulfill my time gf’s at work etc. so why don’t I ring you up and chat sometime. I’m in uk/Spain Timezone and you’re in Canada, Winnipeg? So we will have coordinate a time that works out best. We can ring on WhatsApp, zed - the currently sober person did not even have a beer on New Years

I threw it on for a quick laugh, and I was struck with a few parallels to Trailer Park Boys. Besides the protagonist being a low-life who drinks and smokes all the time, this 1998 comedy came out right before the black and white Trailer Park Boys debut in 1999.

First off is the shit-mobile. We'll gradually see the Dude's car turn into a pile of garbage, just like Ricky's.

Then, we have the Roadhouse connection. We have Jackie Treehorn (who treats objects like women, man) and Sam Ell... Continue »

@der got me a Christmas present that I'd been wanting for years. Guess which movie this is from:

Christmas usually dominates the month of December, but we still have a good week in there where we're recovering from Christmas, and moving into the new year. There aren't a lot of movies about this thin period where you can't really decorate or distinguish yourself from that generic Christmas and/or Holiday spirit.

I've only seen a few New Years horrors, and I barely remember anything about most of them. We have have Terror Train (1980), in which Jamie Lee Curtis resumes her role as t... Continue »

Hey everybody, what's up? Sorry, I have been out of the loop while many things are happening here. I am (still) visiting family, and they have all my time pre-scheduled for me. I'm just getting driven around between people's houses all the time, without enough downtime to do anything online. Sorry.

One of the things my family did was to volunteer together with an organization bringing meals, clothing, shoes, etc to homeless camps. Holy fuck you guys, those people have it rough. I was so... Continue »

Anybody watch this yet? Netflix released their Black Mirror choose your own adventure movie about a young programmer in 1984 who has to create a choice-based computer game, but naturally, he goes mad during the process.

When the time comes to make a decision, you have a timer in which things are streamlined, and in some scenarios, you'll die and have to start over from a previous point, but sometimes... you get different options when you go back, so I'm sure there are a lot of ways to... Continue »

Remember in 2013 when Stallone did his first legitimate team-up with Schwarzenegger? He plays Ray Breslin, security expert, who must escape from the craziest prison out there, and with the help from another legendary 80s action icon, he kicks everyone's ass and made for a fun, if somewhat forgettable action romp.

Years later, a DTV sequel snuck up on us, and what do you know? Stallone is actually in it again. Usually, they recast the main character for these sorts of under-qualified sequels,... Continue »

I guess they wanted to get all they could out of his trip to James Rolfe's house for that Home Alone video, but here, they talk about John Carpenter's epic "Big Trouble in Little China".

This damn year is almost over. Share your thoughts, if you're capable of thinking and reflecting on this year. Christmas is yet to come, followed by the new year. Time for stress, resolutions, and probably mostly drinking.

Not much to report on my end. 2018 was okay. As always, we lost a few legends, we get a few new movies we fall in love with, and people shun each other over politics. Yada yada, and so forth...

I always want to do something better for TE each year, but my efforts general... Continue »

Last night, I got pretty drunk. Big surprise, there. I fell asleep to some Trailer Park Boys Xmas Special, and before I knew it, I found myself in the midst of a familiar territory that I've never been to. The outback. Continue »

When they announced that a live-action Venom movie was in the works, starring Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock and rumored to be on the Deadpool bandwagon of being R-rated... I got my hopes up. They even had talks of including Tom Holland's Peter Parker into the movie, which would have been even cooler to see Spider-Man in an R-rated movie.

Of course, the studios pussied out immediately and turned this Spider-Man spin-off into a sci-fi CGI fest. They changed it from New York to San Francisco,... Continue »

Welcome to the first Foreign/subtitled movie challenge which begins this coming Saturday at 00:01 local time.

To recap: Movies cannot be either in the English language or your native tongue if English isn't your first language (sorry, that's a no if you speak French and you want to watch French movies). And sure, if you are in Belgium or Canada, then British movies are still "foreign", but we are going for World Cinema here which generally refers to movies not in the English lan... Continue »

This is pretty interesting, and also quite creepy and disturbing, in multiple ways at once. I have seen both 1984 and 1987 given as the release date for it. I don't know which is correct, but I guess it was made in the 80's. This was done in the Soviet Union, in what is Uzbekistan today, I think. They changed some things around a little, but it's basically an adaptation of a Ray Bradbury story from the 1950's, which was included in The Martian Chronicles. Ray Bradbury got the title from a p... Continue »

A couple of days ago, I noticed Netflix added Hellraiser: Judgment (2018). I've always enjoyed the Hellraiser movies, but mainly due to Doug Bradley's performance as Pinhead. Sadly, this was another entry in the franchise without him, but this new actor was ok. Pinhead was now played by Paul T. Taylor, and as I said, he was ok, but one thing about him really bothered me, his voice. I know they deepened Doug Bradley's voice a bit, but this was overkill. He almost sounded like Darth Vader to me.... Continue »

I just posted this in the shout box, but, come on. He deserves his own thread. RIP Donald Moffat. Hey, he was in Sleepy Hollow, NY, when he died. Not a wholly inappropriate place to die, for a horror actor.

Remember Macauley Culkin? Home Alone was a great Christmas movie. I watched it a lot as a kid and I think it has some great vibes, and some great Christmas spirit. Remember when that old man with the shovel helps him? That's fuckin' Roberts Blossom, who played Ezra Cobb in "Deranged: Confessions of a Necrophile" (1974), which is a great little movie about Ed Gein. I can't strike that connection from my memory. Like why the hell was his name Roberts, and not Robert? WTF?

Hell, I even watched "Home Alone" when my theater re-released it a few years ago. It has a lot of good things going for it, and there was one hell of a kid right there. Macauley, what a weird name... but he's been in some cool shit. Mostly, these two movies, and "Party Monster". But he's always had a soft spot for his character of Kevin McAllister, and has reprised the role (sort of?) in that video from a few years back where he shows what a fucked up person Kevin turned out to be, due to the traumatic experiences he faced when Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern tried to murder him on two separate occasions. In regular movie terms, that shit is funny, but in real-life situations, it would scar the kid for life, and that's what that video was about. Good shit.

So a few days ago, James Rolfe did a review of these goddamn video games about Home Alone... so many of these pieces of shit, but who joined him? The pizza guy! Watch this shit! Continue »

Back in the days of the video rental store boom, I rented from alot of different places. One of which was Blockbuster. Despite being known for offering the most popular titles in cinema, the one I went to offered an unusual amount of offbeat B-movies. Especially in the Horror section. Even a few obscure ones here and there. I remember renting such films as Beyond The Darkness, Vampyres and Silent Night Deadly Night, all from Blockbuster. I even... Continue »
