What a little cunt. Seriously, fuck him and his dick nose. Sick of seeing him on that Tubi ad with that other unfunny piece of shit from Scrubs. Makes me wanna watch more Amazon Prime, where there are far less ads.

That was a damn good movie. Kathryn Bigelo is one of the few female directors who understands action and tension. With some of that good ol' Eric Red writing, you get a tense and well-paced thriller about a wall street guy who snaps one day and fixates on a beat cop he saw take down a bad guy.

Jamie Lee does a fantastic job here. Nobody believes anything she says except for good ol' Clancy Brown. He usually shines in villain roles, but he goes for a good-cop role this time, and it works. Ron... Continue »

Imagine, if you will, a day in the life of a working man. A man who saves every penny so he can enjoy an early retirement. However, a mere day in the life wouldn't reap the rewards of the endgame, thus the working man works for it, and continues to work for it to such an extent that he may work himself into an early grave.


Mr. Smith is on the commute home from the bank after making a hefty withdrawal. His life savings, to be more

I avoided this one for a while because I figured it would be bad. Nobody ever really talks about it, so what gives? I guess Daniel San isn't a kid anymore, so fresh blood was needed. This time, we get Hilary Swank, and you know what? She does a damn fine job.

Julie Pierce is an angry teen. She's been recently orphaned and has a rough time in high school. Violent male stalkers, poor attendance, unsympathetic teachers, the works. Ho... Continue »

Oh no! There's this horrible man eating monster that's killing everybody! How will we ever stop it? How will we ever avoid it? How do you know you won't be the next one to be eaten?!

Oh, I don't know. Maybe just STAY OUT OF THE FUCKING OCEAN? You know, that big wet salty place that you have absolutely no reason to ever go into, ever? Maybe just don't go in there?

I can't thing of any type of attack that is easier to avoid than a shark attack.

FUCKING POINTLESS!

This is available for free on Pluto TV right now. It appears to have six episodes. So far I have watched the first two.

It's pretty scary! It's from 1981, and was filmed in and around London. Anyway, they did a pretty respectable job on it. I think most of us have seen the 1962 film by the same title, at some point in our lives, but just in case not: the idea is that a meteor storm affiliated with a comet has put on a light show that blinded everyone who watched it, which was over 99% of t...

Concerning Stephen King, I was thinking about King's films I saw at the cinemas. I remember seeing The Dead Zone, Maximum Overdrive, The Running Man, Pet Semetary, Sleepwalkers and 1408 in theatres. Seeing a film at the cinemas was always a different experience than watching at home imo which made a piece of shit like Sleepwalkers seem alright. Which films adapted from King's writings did you see in theatres?

I was just thinking about this. Can anyone think of any Stephen King book, or movie, where he makes a character in the military who is positive or sympathetic?

He might do it in some of his books from the middle period of his writing. I have read most of his early stuff, and a fair amount of his recent stuff, but I am having a hard time thinking of any of his books showing people in the military as the good guys. Maybe he did this in some of his books from the 90s or early 2000s.

Anyway,... Continue »

What are your thoughts on DC movies and shows? Marvel is imploding upon itself, so I'm trying to get more acquainted with the company that makes content for adults. I don't care for most properties outside of the Batman/Gotham variety, but I do believe DC has something decent every now and then that isn't just Batman. DC is also brave enough to do standalone movies outside of the convoluted and cluttered continuities of the "cinemative universe" trend.


I got HBO Max to catch up on some comic j... Continue »

Just how incredible is this man, you ask? Monstrously incredible.

The premise is that of a classic monster movie. Some group tries to stop a bad accident from getting worse, and our hero/villain/victim is the gimmick. A man melts. The concept of the film is terrifying. The execution is not. It's cheesy and poorly shot at times, but it is gory. It has to be, right?

The dude is fucked either way, and we take a trip through his decomposition and it is pretty gnarly. Throw in a s... Continue »

I just wanted to mention this one, in case anybody's interested. It's not exactly a gem, but it has its attractions, and it certainly qualifies as a trash epic.

I'm talking about the movie by this name starring Bill Moseley, Paul Logan, Sydney Sweeney, Vernon Wells, Nestor Serrano, Don "The Dragon" Wilson, etc. Not the French movie also called The Horde, from 2009. Here, this is the one I'm talking about:

Anybody have any strong feelings about this one? The 1982 movie will never be surpassed, of course, but in some ways the 2011 prequel takes respectable risks, I think.

I have seen most of it before, just channel surfing, but I watched the whole thing this weekend. I tried to pay attention, and not just zone out like I often/usually do.

One interesting element of the prequel: I am not absolutely certain of this, but I had the strong impression that at least some of the Thing-ified humans beli... Continue »

Would you rather be locked in a room for an hour with a wild grizzly bear or locked in a room for an hour with one million black widow spiders?

So the rules are simple as fuck. Watch as much TV as you possibly can throughout the entirety of July and get 1 point for every minute you watch of the stuff.

Can be TV shows or documentaries but we already have a doc challenge so try to stick to TV shows, eh.

Some bonus point possibilities:

If you watch an entire season of a show, in which each episode lasts over 40 minutes, you can claim 50 bonus points per episode. So if you watch a season of a show that has 10 episode... Continue »

Did anybody here watch this show regularly? I remember it, and I know I saw at least a few episodes. I don't think I was really paying attention though. I probably just had it on as a distraction, while I was making sandwiches, or something along those lines.

Anyway, in the US, the SyFy channel appears to be showing some kind of Warehouse 13 marathon this weekend.

So anyway, Joanne Kelly is amazing!! I'm probably just noticing this because she's such a babe, but, she seriously kicks ass.... Continue »

Yikes. This blogger makes the point that several of them are basically already here. https://grantland.com/hollywood-prospectus/the-running-man-tv-how-dystopian-ics-programming-compares-to-whats-on-now/

Fresh off of the first Nightmare movie, Johnny Depp found himself next in the midst of a buddy sex comedy at private resort, ripe for all sorts of unjustified shennanigans. I find it amusing that there is no prologue as to why they are at the resort, nor is there an epilogue of what happens when they leave. The story exists solely in the Private Resort.

I eat a lot of pizza. Sometimes, I think the pizza is eating me. After work, I always check for pizza on clearance. I recently discovered Detroit style pizza and it's fucking good eh. And breakfast pizza is my SHIT. But I'll eat any pizza, so the more toppings, the better. Supreme is good because it tricks the pizza into being a bit more healthy since it has veggies.

Are you a ninja turtle like I am? What's your favorite pizza type/place?

Welcome to the 2022 Crime Challenge. It's been 3 years since the last one so it's about time we got our hands dirty.

You can watch any movie or TV show involving crime. If in doubt, please use IMDb or any other major movie database to check if a movie is tagged with "crime". However, certain superhero or sla... Continue »

OK, no sane person would call fireworks a sport, but it's a spectator activity, soooo... well, whatever, just keep reading if you want to read my comment.

I am usually too scared to go out to large public gatherings these days, for various reasons you can easily guess. But, there is a hill near where I live, and from the top of the hill you can watch multiple towns having their foreworks displays, all at once, at this time of year. It's pretty cool.

This year I could see at least eight towns... Continue »

Box, please feel free to edit my subject line if you want, so it says movies or books instead of stories, or put this post in a better category, or whatever you want... I am just rambling here, I'm not sure where to put this.

I was just thinking about this... I have probably posted this general idea here before, but not for a while, I don't think. Anyways, what US cities do you think need, deserve, or whatever, to have more films, TV shows, and/or books set there? It can be your own home city... Continue »

Not for the first time and probably not for the last, Ballz has wiped the floor with everyone (well kudos to Box who also put in a stunning effort). So congrats to Ballz for managing to watch every crime movie in existence. Give or take.

1. Ballz - 7190
2. Box - 5594
3. Markus - 1770
4. zed - 901
5. Zombie - 547

Ok, I wasn't really in the mood to write anything this week, but I gotta say something about this. The other night, I watched this movie on the Tubi that I wasn't particularly excited about, but ended up pleasantly surprised, dare I say a bit shocked. Shocked by the unbelievable level of schlock that the IMDb synopsis didn't even begin to prepare me for. A pretty ordinary-sounding movie by what I read. However, it all plays out in the most rush...

Or more accurately, which do you have access to? And are they worth it? Would you pay for them? No, but you would gladly mooch off of someone else's account, right?

Tubi is an exploitation fan's wet dream. We spent hours tracking down these movies in our youths, and here they are on "Tubi"? For free? Call me crazy, but the ads help simulate the experience of watching broadcast tv with those little intermissions. Suffice to say, it's well worth the cost. Tubi is probably the best streamin...

Is the only studio putting out good cinema these days imo. While not every film is perfect at least their releases are original and they take chances. I remember 1st seeing their logo at the beginning of Spring Breakers and Tusk. Just watched The Disaster Artist finally ( I know, late to the party) and y'all were right, great film. Any thoughts and favorites from A24?
