At least The Revenge gave us the timeless Michael Caine quote: “I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific.”

And also Cast Away, where he enslaves Wilson before leaving him to die out at sea.

Jake Johnson’s chest hair you say?

Devin Ratray too, who was a highlight in Soderbergh’s Mosaic, and also Buzz from Home Alone.

I blame Eleanor Shellstrop

I don’t think the King TV movie demonstrates anything beyond that King isn’t a good director.  There’s no reason that a more skilled one couldn’t have made a faithful adaptation work, just because that wasn’t what Kubrick was interested in doing.

It looks like this is drawing some inspiration from the famous Eilean Mor lighthouse mystery of 1900. If so, it’s actually the second movie this year to do so, making creepy late-Victorian lighthouse stories officially the Mission to Mars/Red Planet, Armageddon/Deep Impact, Antz/A Bug’s Life studio phenomenon of 2019.…

wait, seth rogan isn’t good looking? he’s not ‘height of his game brad pitt’ but he’s still pretty solid. i know its hollywood, but that seems like a weird thing to call out

Who can take a nothing child and suddenly make him or her all gone?
Well it’s YOU, Slender, and you should know it!
You’re gonna take kids after all!

Who can take a child? Spirit them away? Whisper secret messages they instantly obey? The Slenderman! The Slenderman can! The Slenderman can, cause he mixes it with hate and makes the kids taste good!

They only resorted to that after the first season unsuccessfully attempted animating in front of a live audience.

Long ago when my brother and I were growing up and TV came only in B&W, one of our favorite (rerun) shows was Topper. It was a great show for a young audience.

This would probably be better suited to AVCAD, but I’ll give it a shot here: Who thinks ghosts are real, and why or why not?

I had a friend in Jr. high, whose mom built an actual shrine to Marty Robbins in their living room.

It was actually a pop/glam rock cesspool of FUN.

...the cesspool of misery happened in the nineties. Pretty sure no other movement ever spotlighted having a bad fucking time like grunge.

It’s amazing that the leading proponents of the movement survived. Oh wait. They didn’t. They were all miserable and killed themselves.

People REALLY don’t seem to get this. Like, at all.

There was plenty of trash, but writing off the whole decade as such is nonsense

I forgot how quintessentially 1980s the year 1983 was. I was a college DJ in Western PA in an area with just a computerized top 40 station (Y103 or as we called it WHY, 103), so both the top 40 and the article listing brought back tons of great memories. It was also the year we received a promotional copy of Madonna’s…

I've always suspected that "Freefall" episode was secretly directed by John Landis.
