Black Panther 2 was ok. The more serious mourning/succession story was pretty solid, but it was undercut pretty hard by how completely silly and poorly written the Namor stuff was. The entire Bilbo and Elaine subplot added like 15-20 absolutely useless minutes to an already too-long affair.

Prime example:
Spoiler
So Atlantis or whatever is afraid of the land people knowing they exist because they're scared of being conquered. Wakanda is the most powerful land country, so Namor tries to recruit them. He does this by threatening them with invasion because his army is so mighty he can crush them anyway. Ok, maybe he's bluffing, right?

So Wakanda sends their whole army on a big stupid ship and get absolutely wrecked by Namor's people, proving that nobody is any sort of threat to Atlantis or whatever anyway. Except they lose because Namor is tricked away from the water, and his people need water to survive, so how they plan to conquer, like, Nebraska or whatever is unclear. What was the point of any of this? Why did anyone bother? Fucking stupid, and it's a shame because there's some truly good stuff in this movie too.
The action scenes kinda sucked this time around, but that's a pretty standard trend for Marvel flicks, so I usually give them a pass on that. Acting is pretty good across the board, Angela Bassett crushes it. Worth a watch, but don't expect too much.

Meteor man gets better the 10th time you watch it. Those Goldenlords never age with their distinct look and the "kids with guns" inner city manipulation is always entertaining.

Eddie Griffin is himself and pretty much remains the same actor for next 25 years.

Damn, I can't believe I slept on Virus for that long. I remember the robot from when it came out, then as time went on the movie started to blend with that Death Ship remake until I thought they were the same thing, then all interest faded. Will watch asap, and by asap that will probably be a long while, but I moved it to the minor MASTER TBW LIST. Need more robutts.

I mentally file it with Event Horizon - beyond the obvious similarities (scifi/horror with motley crew stalked on derelict by quasi-omnipresent menace), it's another solidly grim 90s B-horror. Not leading-edge, and sometimes goofy, but delivers manfully on doomy terror and balls-hard gore. Another Horizon nod is the presence of some farly A-tier stars (Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Sutherland), who similarly put in a decent day's work, though I can't recall if there's anything to match Sam Neill's epic "AAAWWW, OAAAAAAW!" scream. :cool: (recently paid marvelous tribute by my OFFICIAL critic source teh critical drinker! don't tell our homie X93-kun, he'll CYBERBULLY me off the site :shock: Image nah for real X you gotta admit that was a fun little bit Image even if their both SCOTCH BASTADS :shock:)

Ah man, was just bantering with my bud at work on Monday about EH. Something was mentioned about burning or some sort and he quoted, "YOU LET ME BURN!". Been searching and searching YT for it but can't find it! Fingers crossed someday they find that extra footage that used "porn stars and amputees" and had "stakes up their arses".

Yeah, it's a prequel that serves as an origin story for Roy Pulsipher, played by Jeff Bridges in the first.

Total Recall
Holy shit is the Italian 4K from Eagle Pictures so, so, so much better than the US release. Has the original 5.1 track, and has much better bitrate on the video and none of the smeared crap at times because the encoder doesn't overload. Still cheesy in spots but still a classic. Especially all of Arnold's one-liners. Consider that a divorce!

Consider, if you will, THE DEAD ZONE. That's a Cronenberg. Granted, not pure in mindblow, yet nontheless.

Funny how the ones that hold up are the ones that are a bank in direction anyway. Cronenberg, Kubrick, De Palma, Romero, Carpenter, Hooper, Reiner.
Or maybe I want it to be. I enjoy the perceived decade or more of the filmmaking on the SK stuff. Like you say: Capital Fun!

Anyway, never saw The 'Lot. Read the novel and liked it enough. There is a new movie coming. I hear the Hooper one was made for TV. Does it show terribly?

Another one! :shock: And how'd I forget, wth DEM SWEET BUBBEHS Image Bit unfortunate in-context, with the lovely lass in question soon dispatched, but stepping back from the camera - god damn. I wrecked my parents' VCR as I blew my fuckin load to her BITD! Image I have no shame saying it - in fact, I'm ashamed of you lot if you object! :cool:

Actually, this could be a good WRONG'UN DETECTOR. :o If your first reaction to that magnificent sight, as a man, is "knife?" I'm first in line to kick the footstool out from under your thrashing, pissing, soon-to-be carcass, boy. Image DON'T WASTE GOOD BOOBS Image

Even with the face-flaying stovetop blaze of preteen libido having matured, to a more discerning backyard BBQ with the yuppie neighbours, I must still pay my compliments to the lady in question! I hope she's doing ok - though I have no interest in seeing her! As to the surrounding picture - I must admit, beyond dem bouncin' bubs, I can only remember the general premise... the Walkeny Walkening... and the sombre "OH HELL NO WHAT A SHAME / STILL GOOD JOB BRO" Image climax. Stlll, would most certainly not object, were it to pop up on a movie night!

Speaking of amazing racks:
Funny how the ones that hold up are the ones that are a bank in direction anyway. Cronenberg, Kubrick, De Palma, Romero, Carpenter, Hooper, Reiner.
Holy fuck, when you line 'em up like that - what a slate of gems! A killer team - again, legendary men return!

It hit me finally, why we had that daft "SK ADAPATIONS ALWAYS SUXXXOR" sentiment in the 90s. With the notable exception of TEH SHINE, these are mostly smaller-scale, cultier, "B" budget affairs; non-blockbusting / Oscar-bothering.

But we are not a place concerned with the mainstream and its decadence. Image Image All we need is a place, time, and 100jpy to bust your soft-as-shite blocks, boyo. Image

So yeah, makes sense the picture's considerably rosier, if you care more about quality than prestige. :lol: It's more "SK adaptations never get the big nods" and... yeah? Why would they? The guy's work is culty by nature, with the occasional mainstream darling. Go watch IT and STFU. I won't, though! Looks shite tbh, and I can't forget the paedo-riffic preteen gang-bang. It's not so much the bang, itself, as King's moronic justification for it. "WELL U SEE KIDS GETTIN KILT TOO!" Yeah, it's horrifying! You're a horror writer! "SO WHY NOT SEE EM FUCKIN?!" That's child porn! You're a child pornographer! Image

(I don't think he is, or care that much - as said, I just think the story's a bit shite - it's just the sort of "You what m8?" Image behaviour that makes me keep ol' Steve at arm's length. see also the dumbass self-insert AMB mentioned, oof! what a weirdo. old hardcore drugheads, they tend to get like that, I've found. booze is a drug too!)
Anyway, never saw The 'Lot. Read the novel and liked it enough. There is a new movie coming. I hear the Hooper one was made for TV. Does it show terribly?
I have to admit, it's been a few years, but I recall being very suitably entertained. A major distinction between novel and film, IIRC, is the WAMPYR LORD; a darkly suave Dracula on page, a feral Nosferatu on screen. The latter fiend is memorably hideous and unnerving - I thought the trade worked out fine. As with Dead Zone, I'd happily recommend/watch, with only the mildest caveat due to time elapsed since last visit. James Mason was great in it, I know that much (was recently browsing some clips of him, included this picture).

Speaking of the novel, and my fapping youth! I remember my nan had this big ol' SK anthology, containing (IIRC) Cujo, Carrie and Teh Lot. Only, all the profanity was bowdlerised out, with a "____" Being a young noob, I initially thought the repeated idiom "You don't shit where you eat" was instead "You don't... where you eat" and was a bit confused. But ALSO being reasonably astute for a greasy little varmint with a perpetually angry chub, I soon realised what game was afoot - and in an act of vandalism I sincerely regret (having become a collector of Old Paper in my adulthood), I diligently filled in each blank with ballpoint pen, forever defacing the august paperstock. :oops: I don't recall if I've ever told me nan, not that she'd have done anything but laugh, being a salty old bird who once walked in on me fapping, and also survived her house getting blown up by Nazis!

Yo man, who needs Salem's Lot when you've got RETURN to Salem's Lot! Directed by THE STUFF and IT'S ALIVE and other greats Larry Cohen! Has his regular Michael Moriarty and even fuckin' Samuel Fuller hunting down vampire scum. It's a real hoot. Sam Fuller groaning and playing dead, only to open up one eye and blast away a vampire is one of the great scenes in all of cinema 8) .

Not to step on your member, but I cannot confirm the boobs in TDZ. Re-watched it early this year.

I think it's a lot of fun, but apparently a lot of people don't like it. Maybe going in expecting something serious, and instead getting Cohen's playful tone.

Speaking of DEAD ZONE TITS and Robert Weiss -- I had to look her up, too. Pretty sure I've got Man Eaters and The Abducted of her paltry cinematic career buried in one of three hundred hard drives, but it does look like she's in one of the best Tales from the Darkside episodes, Inside the Closet. Directed by Tom Savini! High recommendation if you love Tiny Evil™. Good show, BTW! Fairly consistent--at least in the first season or two that I rewatched last year. I think it's usually outshadowed by Twilight Zone and Tales from the Crypt, but it's always been my favorite of the horror anthologies. Created by Romero with a lot of big horror writers involved or adapted, like Michael McDowell, Robert Bloch, Joseph Payne-Brennan, Carl Jacobi, etc! Plus the likes of John D. MacDonald, Harlan Ellison, Ron Goulart, yadda yadda. Episode 87's HUSH stuck with me for many years when I saw it as a young squirt. Not in a scary fashion, but in its creativity and use (or lack of) sound.

Dweeb rant over!

I remember exactly the episode of TftDS you mention, caught it as a kid and never forgot lil' homie with his pale skin and blood-red peeps. :mrgreen: I can actually pinpoint exactly when I saw it, as it was the first week we had cable (just rabbit ears up to then, and VHS rentals before that). I think it was on the Sci-Fi Channel... The Crawling Eye came on right after, felt so fuckin rad having this stuff on tap instead of relying on our one local station/rentals. (although in hindsight I like the pummelling nu-Misfits jam more than Eye itself)

I know... I just like to hold onto those little slivers of hope! It's a bummer, too, since the original cut was found by one of the crew years back on VHS, presumably as a workprint. But of course, it was damaged beyond belief and unusable. The real stinker with the whole thing is that if the movie was just released a hair later it would have been on DVD and that footage would have likely stuck around, at least in deleted special features.

I'm not entirely sure it'd make a huge difference as a whole for the film, with all its silly flaws and terrible stock sound effects. But the detail on the brutal imagery is like nothing else. Some of those sets were so huge, with Giger spikes and headless torsos with tittays and maggots! There's a really good, super-slowed video on YT of both the crew blood orgy and the vision of Hell Neill shows Fishburne, and good golly, is it gorgeous in its depravity of space hell.

Exhausting week of work, so horizontal most of the weekend trying to get my money's worth out of HBO Max.

At Close Range [1986]
Always wanted to see this as an 11 year old as the tune by Madonna was a fan favorite at the time and has surprisingly held up - especially if you dig 80's soft synths. Anywho, a pretty good thriller featuring a very young Sean Penn and not as young (but with that unhinged DNA) Christopher Walken. Loosely based on a true story which is pretty fucked up. Didn't know rural Pennsylvania was so rough in the 70's. Supporting cast has Kiefer Sutherland (I'm assuming just before Stand By Me came out), Crispin Glover (acting a lot like Crispin Glover), and Mary Stuart Masterson whom I always though should have had a more prominent career. A throwback of sorts to days of muscle cars, sleeveless shirts, and indoor smoking.

Mr. Mom [1983]
Pretty sure this is what made Michael Keaton. I saw it at the dollar theater many times as a kid. Probably a lot funnier then, but some of the humor still holds up - like the gambling for coupons with the other neighborhood moms and him getting invested in shitty soap operas. This is definitely an 80's flick and the premise alone (and way more so the content) is probably enough to set off the younger generations, despite the fact that stay at home moms were commonplace at the time. Tons of indoor smoking, most of which takes place at work place board rooms. Going through IMDB it's pretty wild to see that the older of the three kids had a 4 episode stint on Oz, playing the son of Schillinger (head of Aryan Bros), dropping several N-bombs and ultimately ending up like 90% of the cast on Oz. Oh, Ann Jillian was hot.

Blowout [1981]
Surprisingly good noir featuring Travolta before he spiraled out of control in shitty movies. What stands out about this one is the attention to detail of the main protagonist's trade: audio mixing. As a key part of the story, we see him recording, editing, and splicing sounds for minutes on end. Close up shots of 80's reel to reel machines, tapes being written on and hung up in the studio with rudimentary cataloging. A nice trip to a time when you had to know WTF you were doing to make anything having to do with audio or video. Not without it's cheesy 80's moments, but they are easily looked past. As with Mr. Mom, this would just not be made today, but due to technological advancements. Also, the studio would have interfered and changed plenty. But, no spoilers. I think the poster is worthy of an entry in the movie posters thread. This one features the most perplexing version of indoor smoking: hospital smoking.

Slumberland: **1/2

Somewhat entertaining for a PG-rated film, but feels just a little too much like a ripoff of Loki. Loosely based on the Little Nemo comic strips of the early 20th century, this version of Nemo is a 11 year old girl who loses her hermit father and hops through dreams with some questionable role model named Flip in search of a magical pearl that will let her see her father again, all while being pursued by some low budget version of the TVA.

Uncut Gems.

Last week, I commented that The Stranger was perhaps the most stressful movie I had watched. It only took a week for it to be dethroned. Uncut Gems is a very good movie, but I didn't enjoy it :lol: Full of unlikable characters doing unlikable things.

Adam Sandler received rave reviews for his performance, but I couldn't shake the idea that he was basically just doing an Al Pacino impression throughout.

I didn't much like Uncut Gems either. The movie is essentially about gambling, heavily positing gambling addiction as a destructive force. I agree with that part of the message, but I dislike Sandler and I hate watching him, even if it's just to see him shoot himself in the foot over and over.

I found the ending to be silly, unrealistic and dumb.

Good Time was better but still not great. It has a killer soundtrack.

does a fantastic job of giving him more nuance in his brief cameo.
Probably my favorite part of 2, that and the ending. Reminded me of Paul Walker's sendoff in F&F.

Funny, I actually considered Wakanda Forever to be the "Furious 7" of the MCU because of that.
