Dark Sense (2019)

Uggh…Pretty dire movie considering how good the book happens to be. I recommend reading or listening to the audiobook, ‘First and Only’ by Peter Flannery instead of this.

Want a good drinking game? Take a shot every time someone says some variation of “Jesus, Tom.”

Still my favorite Coen Bros movie.

Is that an intentional misspelling to make a clever pun? Or a happy accident?

You ever cover your own face, or turn your head away to avert your eyes, when you witness someone doing something horribly embarrassing?
You do it as a reflex because you are so embarrassed FOR them that it is almost too painful to watch.

This is that.

The Curse of the Living Corpse (1968)

Just FYI. According to Roy Scheider, this was his first movie. He said they first did a search of the most popular horror titles. Finding ‘curse,’ ‘living,’ and ‘corpse’ to be the most popular/successful words. So they came up with this title. Then, having done that, they wrote a script.

In the Realm of the Senses (1976)

I have not watched this, so I’m not sure which version it happens to be. But in the original version that I watched many years ago, there is a scene of when he is a very, very young boy. He is in the shower, with his crazy mother iirc, when she grabs his penis and starts basically sexually assaulting him as he screams and and a painful and traumatic tug of war ensues. It isn’t a short scene either.
What is really messed up is that is exactly how they filmed it…real little boy, real naked and an actress yanking and pulling on his penis as he screams and cries…(always wondered what became of that kid)
So, be warned. This might be that version.

There is a gator, named Ben, in this film that was in over 100 films.

I found myself rooting for Russell.

The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978)
ace 3 points 3 years ago.

As a kid, I had to beg and wheedle my family so I could watch this. I was literally first in line to see Star Wars. So much first-in-line that I was actually pushed through the plate glass doors to the theater by the crowd. Hard to imagine now what a real game changer for scifi Star Wars was back then. Throw in the fact that I was the prime target demographic, a 13 year old boy in 78, and you have a kid that really wanted to watch this.

So you can imagine how utterly and completely crestfallen I was when this steaming dog turd was shoved into my eye and ear holes…shudder.
It was brutal.

As I write this, I am reminded that one Christmas my old man got drunk and pissed off and shot the TV while I was watching it. Pinocchio in Outer Space, I think. In hindsight, I kinda wished he’d shot it again the night The Star Wars Christmas Special aired…

Gunless (2010)

This is a quite a funny movie with a lot of heart. The whole cast really is excellent. But I would point out that Tyler Mane really should get more work that isn’t him being a monster, tough guy or villain. He plays a gentle giant so well.
