Back in the late eighties here in Britain we only had four TV channels & if you didn't own a VCR, like the majority of my village, this meant movie consumption was limited & mainstream. We'd get the odd late night Universal or Hammer flick, and if you could get watchable reception for the new 'edgy' Channel 4 there was some action or comedy films on every now n then, but basically anything genre or cult was rare.

One of my mate's family had a video player, i remember very well a gang of us ga... Continue »

That is a pretty good episode for horror fans. Just casually watching it, I noticed some references to Pet Sematary, and also to that old short story "The Monkey's Paw." There are references to other horror movies in it too, as other people have noticed. Anyway, it's pretty funny. Butters's parents crack me up.... If you scroll down here, to "cultural references," there is a little discussion of what movies and stories it draws upon.

My grandfather died today, age 88. I wasn't close with him, so I'm not terribly affected by it. He served in the military for a long time, so he paid his dues, but he was also a bad alcoholic, so we didn't really like him. Still, there are good memories here and there, so I felt like I should say something about the man.

One of my few fond memories of him was when I spent the night at his place, and he put a mark on his forearm and told me it was the curse of the werewolf, and stuck out his b... Continue »

I just watched the 1939 version and it's not the one I'm looking for. Could be the Hammer one, one of the 70s films, or the 1983 film, but no later than that.
The only visual I can recall fom the one I saw as a kid was a shot of the hound walking in slow motion over the moors and his eyes might have been glowing. It was a side or 3/4 shot and the hound looked really manacing. My memory could be way off though.

Anyone?

Every kid loves old fashioned dinosaur B-Movies. I know I watched them taped off late night TV when I was young. If One Million Years B.C. has higher end production values afforded to it by Hammer Studios then Planet of Dinosaurs is on the other end of the spectrum in terms of budget.

It's pretty clear whatever minimal budget they had went towards the stop motion effects for the dinosaurs. There's actually plenty of them throughout the movies runtime so that's all good.

Everything else is... Continue »

It's almost that time of year again. And I'll be continuing the Black and White tradition right here, starting April 1st.

Even on the good 'ol HB, this challenge allowed all genres, and I see no reason to change that, now.

Any fans? I think these guys were hilarious. Really physical slapstick comedy, and there's a definite influence in the works of Sam Raimi, particularly in Evil Dead/Army of Darkness. Mel Gibson likes them too, as seen in Lethal Weapon. Those guys are bad-ass, and they know good comedy!

MOE Howard, with his chili-bowl haircut... What an asshole! But still, you like him, because he drives the plot.

As in, "Wow, that is profound! A new life philosophy for me!"

A couple off the top of my head
1) The Eagles - Already Gone: "So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains.
And we never even know we have the key."

2) The Grateful Dead - Truckin': "Sometimes your cards ain't worth a dime, if you don't lay'em down."

I eat Hummus all the time. One time for my birthday, someone got me Hummus and chips and shit and then someone else made me organic chocolate chip cookies. So of course I thought the chips out and used the Choco Chip Cookies as the hummus shoveller.

In 1986, Ubisoft released their first video game, simply titled Zombi, which was also the European title for George Romero's Dawn of the Dead. The game doesn't exactly follow the movie's plot, because remember, this was 1986, before an actual plot was a priority in video games, but a lot of the same things happen. Four survivors of a zombie apocalypse land on the roof of a zombie-filled mall, where they proceed to do things like steal guns from a gun store, block the mall entrances with trucks, and place the bodies of the zombies inside a walk-in freezer.

I'm going to have to go with kitties. Was just thinking how gross and loud babies are. I really don't see the appeal. Why they're considered adorable by so many, I'll never understand. If you prefer those things, to each their own, but at least cats are self sufficient. Meanwhile, you got to give up everything, including sleep, so this other thing doesn't die. Sounds gay.

What are you folks doing?

All my shit is in boxes before our move.

Streaming choices are shitty, I heard Wayward Pines was good. I will do a Bob's Burgers Binge.

Anyone privy to any good jokes? Adult Swim played the Rick & Morty season 3 premiere today, in a loop, and starting from the middle, I think...?

As for the movie, I think the idea is probably great, and the ending is adequate, but I'll be honest... I don't remember any of it. Unmemorable, maybe? Or perhaps it'll only be memorable if I watch it another 5 times, and NOT while intoxicated. I want to give it credit for having Amy Steel and BIFF, though!

Master of comedy and martial arts as well as comedic martial arts.

Picking one out of the many movies would have to go with Drunken Master.

Also enjoy Police Story, Wheels On Meals, Half A Loaf of Kung Fu, Snake In Eagle's Shadow and many others. Magnificent Bodyguards is pretty zany and worth checking up on. Don't really like Rush Hour or most of the stuff that came out after that.

I've been trying to find English Subs for this movie forever. Anyone have it?

Can't post it at work.

I am pleasantly surprised by how good IT looks.

Love the cheesy original, saw it on TV when it first aired.

As a hater of most remakes, they are definately adding to this remake which makes it promising

Can you believe people used to make movies using VHS camcorders? I'm not talking about home movies, here. I'm talking full length features, intended to be picked up by actual companies for actual money. Which implies a fanbase for such a thing actually exists. Crazy, right? Perhaps. And perhaps it's a small fanbase, as most moviegoers can't be bothered with the unknowns and the unusual. However, the 80's gave us a new type... Continue »

Bernie Wrightson - fantastic comic book artist and co-creator (w/ writer Len Wein) of Swamp Thing passed away on March 18. I haven't seen much fanfare about it, but Wrightson also did some incredible b/w artwork for a comic version of Frankenstein. When I say incredible, I mean incredibly detailed. I haven't figured out the image posting thing here yet but you can see an example at:

After my widsom tooth is removed, I decided to see a horror movie about teeth called The Dentist (1996). I think it's a lot fun and excellent extremely underrated horror film of the 1990s. It's scary, gory as hell that makes you never want to go to the dentist again. It was based on the story about the real-life serial killer dentist, Glennon Engleman (1928-'99). But all other than all this, I'd give it a 10 out of 10.... Continue »

Both those sites only care about thier own programing or reruns of othe shows. The horror is either shit or IF they have classics, I have seen it.

Occasionally, I will stumble on something good.

What do you guys recommend?

For me, There's two kinds of bad Horror movies. The one's I buy off Amazon, these days. Some I like, some I love, and some make me want my money back. Then, there's the one's I rented on VHS as a teenager back in the 90's. I love them all, period. I guess that makes me one of those nostalgia weirdos, who's biased enough to love all sorts of abominations of cinema. Fine by me. Not everyone can get pleasure out of Silent Night D... Continue »

Mine would be the 80's cartoon afterlife sequence.

Undeniably.
I'm old (40), and probably live like an 80-year-old.

I'm probably the last person on earth who still doesn't have a smart-phone.
I simply prefer the unsophistication of a flip-open phone.
I'm also afraid that if I were to get one, I'd shatter it on the first day.

This reminds me:
I'm so old-fashioned, I still haven't learned how to upload an image on here.
Can someone inform me, please? Thanks in advance.
