*edit - subject was the not so appealing 'Can anyone suggest any good...' so i spiced it up*

**that was a shit subject**

*TV shows with a genius but flawed detective hunts a genius but psycho killer. Or anything along those sorts of lines, doesn't have to be a murderer, or even a detective. Just some good ole grim nasty bleak miserable lovliness.


One of my all time fave shows is Cracker (1993) whic... Continue »

It's hard for a film to make someone view the world differently. In a sense, the movies that changed your life could be your favorite films, because they have something that resonates with you beyond simple interest and into obsession. Or... they could be movies that you never want to see again because they show you asinine characteristics of humanity that you want to block out. Obviously, it wouldn't be a very large list, because not every movie is going to hit you in that profound of a way, but feel free to be moved either way. Continue »

I almost never see a normal high school bully in a movie. They're always borderline homicidal psychopaths who have an inexplicably intense hatred of their victims. Stephen King writes these types a lot. I dealt with my fair share of bullies, but I never once felt like my life was actually in danger. Did I just get off lucky?

I've been wanting to see this movie for over 10 years and I can't find a way to do it for a reasonable price or on a website I trust. Does anybody have any leads? It looks great.

Who?

Oh yeah, the guy that made the Elvis TV movie. Yeah, that guy.

Talk about this dude here, if you're so inclined. He's a fuckin' legend, ya know?

Been revisiting his films lately, which was the inspiration to make this thread. Started with Halloween a couple weeks ago, then Assault on Precinct 13, and Escape from New York the other night. These movies are like old friends and never fail to let you down. It makes me sad to think that next generation's kids (probably even this genera... Continue »

I feel sorry for anyone who thinks the government means well and is looking out for our best interests. At least as far as my own country goes. I'll spare you my opinions of our present day issues, but today, we're going to talk about propaganda. Anti-Marijuana propaganda of the post-prohibition 1930's. An utterly ridiculous movement pushed mostly in film. We had a lot of those for a lot of years. Too many if you ask me. Today, I'... Continue »

Hollywood needs to leave James Franco alone. Ever since the sex scandals started, any woman out to get something has been able to ruin the career of any male actor just by coming out and saying something. True or not, once it's said, the damage is done.

I'm a James Franco fan, so it bugs me that a loveable guy like him is being kicked out of all these stupid circles just because women are out to get him. Why do they wait until such arbitrary moments? Why is everybody scheming these days? He can't attend the oscars, but I guess that's for the best. I swear, those things are getting more and more ridiculous each year. They were built on Harvey Weinstein's donations, and now they act all self-righteous about it. Continue »

I actually like the zombies in this movie more than any modern zombie movie. Even if the effects aren't considered good by some, they have certain feel and look to them that's just unique and creepy. Even with the way they move and the incidental music in the background.

Definitely a great zombie movie that also includes incest and zombie nipple eating.

I think the easiest way to explain the differences between Jaws and Deep Blue Sea is that Jaws has an Oscar winning score from John Williams, whilst Deep Blue Sea has an LL Cool J song where he declares that "His hat is like a shark fin" (What does that even mean?)

Here's the trailer for Deep Blue Sea 2.

And everything that comes under the umbrella of paranormal like ghosts, extraterrestrial life, unidentified flying objects, unexplained phenomena, psychic abilities, conspiracy theories, haunted houses, demons, cryptids etc.. ?

I for one believe in all this stuff. I have a rather large collection of books from everything to U.F.Os/alien abductions to unexplained phenomena to conspiracy theories. A lot of people out there are (rightfully) sceptical, and might consider those who do believe to b... Continue »

I'm working on something that's almost 10 years old. When I go to certain webpages, the computer hums loudly, because it can't handle the javascript. I can't play games, and I think the thing is finally starting to crap out. Everytime I start it up, I pray that it works. I do a rain dance just to make it turn on, because sometimes, it really doesn't want to. Continue »

Can someone explain these to me? Specifically:

Welcome to the 6th annual Black And White Challenge. This is also the 2nd one to be featured on Trash Epics. This is the place to make your spot. Again, new rules, this year. We're doing a point for every minute. Anything black and white counts. Movies, TV shows, serials, shorts. Tinted films count, as well as movies that are partially in color as long as it is outweighed by the B&W. Beginning J... Continue »

Anybody got anything in mind for February? Black History month? Valentines Day & love themes? It's a short month, so we don't have as much time.

If nobody has anything better, I'll host a love week from Feb 11-17, like @Amon suggests here https://trashepics.com/post/128/7/ , using his criteria. It could lead for a fun week. I'll probably just watch My Bloody Valentine '81 and '09, because I can't think of much else relevant, but I guess movies with "Kiss" in the title might count, so that opens it up a bit... to porn maybe. Not sure. Maybe I'll watch "Valentine" with David Boreanaz again, even though it probably still sucks.

1987 was a great year for movies. It was the start of some great franchises like Predator, Hellraiser, and Lethal Weapon, but most importantly... it gave us... RoboCop!

Peter Weller is awesome. Most people might look at the character design and think it's just a cheesy movie about a guy in a clunky suit, but the story is just wonderful. Back in the 80s, we still had some great sci-fi, like Blade Runner, The Terminator, Aliens, Predator, and this guy. Alex RoboCop Murphy. There are so many great concepts in the movie, as well as characters, special effects, and did I mention gore? It was initially rated X, and they had to trim it down to R. Funny enough, there was also a PG-13 version out there at some point.

According to the IMDb parent guide https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093870/parentalguide , this movie has severe levels of "Violence & Gore", "Profanity", "Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking", "Frightening & Intense Scenes", and only moderate levels of "Sex & Nudity". Aka, not for kids, so what do they do? They made children's cartoons out of it, and toys, and video games, and comics... all stuff for kids. Weren't the 80s great? Continue »

I've been watching Star Trek: Voyager on Netflix. Pretty good show. I was pretty happy when Seven of Nine showed up, and glad to see that not ALL of her implants were removed.

Mostly something to watch as a curiosity for the early career of Dennis Murren. Stop motion monsters and demons mostly filmed in minimal locations in the woods.

It's alright it's not the worst movie but most of the entertainment you'll get out of it is if you go in with the mindset that it's a low budget production from early career filmmakers.

“The Drive-In will never die!”

TNT’s “MonsterVision” began in the early 1990s, but it was when Joe Bob Briggs took over as host in 1995 that the show really became a beloved Saturday night staple for horror fans. Essentially, Briggs played the role of horror host for the show, introducing different horror movies each week and popping up to t

Yeah, he's a comedic actor, right? Well, he tried his hand at a serious role in True Detective season 2, and that was alright. He'll try his hand at the gritty crime genre again, and what do we get? Brawl in Cell Block 99!

Now, I'm not one for going into detail about the plots, because that takes away all the fun of the experience. Trying to figure out what's going on, and getting carried away with the ride? Well I tell you, this movie is one hell of a ride! Vince Vaughn carries the movie, an... Continue »

Starting in season 2, The Simpsons began airing a Halloween anthology episode every year, and as I've been watching "The Twilight Zone" this month, it dawns on me how much these episodes were influenced by TZ. Many segments were directly based on certain episodes, like "Terror at 5 1/2 Feet" which is on an episode where the wraparound is like Night Gallery, with Bart hosting the anthology at a gallery with a lot of paintings.

The first special had an alien-themed segment with a direct... Continue »

50's Horror was really something, huh? Or not. I don't know. I've always liked it, myself. I mean, this era was sort of a resurrection after seemingly nothing coming out of the genre for the last half of the 40's and possibly even a little longer. It's almost like we were eased back in with the rise of Sci-fi, which slowly incorporated Horror into their stories. Giant animals, space monsters, etc. Personally, I love that stuff as much as the traditi... Continue »

The first movie I saw in 2017 was Lav Diaz's Melancholia. Seven and a half goddamn hours long. I watched it in three sittings.

Edit - 2018, not 2017. Already halfway through January!

I figure I'd go ahead and do this in January, this year. Maybe we'll do something for animation in April. I was going to do a reversal of the point system and have the latter movies be worth the most points, but I've decided to give the runtime system a shot which removes the minimum runtime rule. So, anything that's black and white counts. Any genre of movie, sitcoms, serials, shorts. As long as it's bla... Continue »

This came out a few days ago, and it's worth a watch for any F13 fans. Personally, I think part 3 is the best, so I'm all for more info about the film. Still pretty fuckin' weird that Steve Miner never wants to be involved in these docs, when he made 2 of the best ones in the series. He's probably a real dickhole.

This doc covers the 3D aspect of the movie, as well as how great of a man the late Richard Booker was, and the tragic fate of the cabi... Continue »
