Willing to build another bar? (I kid.) We've got a proliferation of bottles of booze & mixers in 3 separate locations. Went halfsies on a lot of the mixers with a friend. That was a good, less expensive way to try out a lot of cocktails.

These are helping the missus through her grieving. And they'll be there for you when you're ready to turn the corner.

"We would also have accepted 'Furry Party.'" Missed opportunity. C'mon Teti! (I take that last bit back. I find you delightful here & in Mom on Pop podcasts, John.)

The Rock is just tanned* (he's a South Florida guy, ya know).

The airtimes are always haphazard in the fall, with baseball playoffs and the NFL throwing off the schedule. At least tonight's ep didn't start at 7:45, so my DVR caught the whole thing.

Yeah, but in the same state he's definitely tried to lay that same groundwork. The gov's a tea party asshat & Drumpf sycophant and Drumpf invested in buying off the Atty General a few years back. Don't count on Florida to be boring.

Same. I think I saw it at the wrong time to really have it get under my skin.

Yes to this. And the scenes move closer to suspense or to horror depending on what Carpenter's going for, where the scene is in the film, etc. I'd argue with Mike D that this is more of a suspense scene because of the horror that we've already seen. We've been walloped with WTF in the initial dog cage transformation…

It was on rotation in the premium channels this year. I snagged it to the DVR for a rewatch this Ween-season. I'll watch sometime in the next week. (But then I'm a middle-aged horror fan, and didn't really twig to the genre til my late 20s. I had a feeling that Candyman wasn't that widely beloved, and I definitely…

Not yet mentioned, maybe just outside the top 25 is the opening of Prom Night (1980). A bunch of kids are playing a nasty slasher-influenced version of hide-and-seek in an abandoned hospital, practically snarling "the killers are coming" until there's a terrible accident that must never be spoken of. It's the most…

Of my top 3 horrors films, with TX Chainsaw and Alien, The Thing reigns as my favorite.

Just dropped in to up the comment stats. Digging the show. Glad it's being reviewed. Looking forward to watching all of Ackee & Saltfish after giving the tennis episode a play.

I've had good luck with Phillip Glass's Music in 12 Parts, too.

One day, looking for solace after a death in the family, I sat at the piano and played Schubert's slow movement from the last piano sonata (Sonata in B-flat, D. 960). It helped, and I did it again for subsequent deaths. I still use it therapeutically when I feel an oppressive sense of loss. That's the only…

Weak list, Bro-bama.

Airplane!, remake of Zero Hour!. Obviously there's a massive change of tone and some new inserts, but otherwise it's a pretty faithful retelling. From mediocre disaster flick to comedy classic is quite an improvement.

Ha! That almost makes me want to watch it again. But then I remember that there's one entertaining, serviceable version (The Faculty), one very good version (Abel F's), and two excellent films made out of this material.
