Lately it has been a fucking waste of my time. Luckily I love Thin Red Line, as I've watched it at least 50 times lately. A couple of decent shows, but really its been super weak, lame and nothing like I've been hoping for.

If I watched tv more, I'd break them all.

Hemorrhoids?

Stupid hockey rink frozen seats.

Black Panther - 7/10 - better energy drinks than average superhero movie (a low bar to hurdle). Maybe 8/10?

Get Out - 8/10 - Not a very original thriller, but well-made, with mostly good writing, acting and direction.

Lady Bird - 7/10 - Coming of age story with throwback 90's "indie films" style. Has minor storytelling ambitions and succeeds on that level.

I watched A Quiet Place the other day. It's pretty good. Not a horror film though. So don't watch it expecting to be scared or something. I don't even know why this was marketed as a horror film.

I just watched the legend of boggie creek. Classic big foot movie from 1972. I loved it. I remember seeing it as a kid probably on the saturday afternoon monster movie. Anyone remember that?

Highly recommended.

Sawr it at the theatre.

Made me ascared to use any bathroom with a window.

Love the Charles B Pierce "docudramas". "The Town That Dreaded Sundown" and "Boggy Creek II" are also pretty great.

i got to check those out. i didnt know there was a boggie 2.

lftwng4 · July 17, 2018, 09:36:43 AM

There's one called "Return to Boggy Creek" that came out before 'Boggy Creek II" that was not directed by Pierce, so it lacks most of the charm. There are also a few others that came out more recently, but I've never seen them, and doubt that I will.
II was also subjected to the MST3K treatment, and it's worth seeing that version as well.
Being 8-10 years old when a lot of this stuff was released, I was always fascinated with the lurid posters and trailers I'd see, so I have a great love for these movies.

I thought this was pretty good. I kind of wish they didn't play so much of the background music. Would like to have heard all of the noise surrounding everyone instead. otherwise, this was a decent film.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone: I was checking my watch after 30 minutes. Tedious.

Pacific Rim: halfway through, it's pretty terrible. Maybe better in a theater with surround sound, etc. Corny.

i just saw the pacific rim part 2. i can pretty much watch anything. i was able to get through it without totally hating it. dumb but cool. total teenager movie. i would have loved this when i was 15.

Lumpy · July 26, 2018, 03:18:33 PM

Yeah Pacific Rim is aimed at a different audience (the pre-teens and Transformers crowd). Harry Potter is for 11 year olds I guess.

I was trying to decide if I would hate the Wizard of Oz now if I hadn't grown up with it (probably)

whoshotthefrog · July 29, 2018, 09:52:18 AM

Watching this makes me dislike the Kennedys even more. Money buys you freedom.

whoshotthefrog · July 29, 2018, 09:55:23 AM

Loved everything about this film. One of my favorite movies to watch in quite some time.

Lumpy · July 29, 2018, 01:31:48 PM

I watched my first Star Wars (a new hope). Hey it was pretty good! How come nobody told me. But why does it happen "A long time ago..." -- that doesn't make sense. Also, the robots were the best actors.

mortlock · July 30, 2018, 11:57:25 AM

Mish imp fallout. Lots of action and more action and stunts and action and stunts and action.

Congrat's Lumpy!

Did Han shoot First?

Lumpy · July 31, 2018, 08:47:13 AM

Not only did he shoot first, the other dude didn't even have a gun.

I'll probably watch Empire Strikes Back too, since that's supposed to be most people's favorites.

[spoiler]They already blew up the Death Star, so there's pretty much nowhere else to go with the series.
[/spoiler]
What if I watched the rest of them in random order, would anybody mind?

socket · July 31, 2018, 10:35:09 AM

The series is only good until the original Jar Jar (Yoda) shows up.

socket · July 31, 2018, 10:49:57 AM

Some corny characters and dialog but pretty good overall.

Jor el · July 31, 2018, 05:24:31 PM
