I would add 1920's ‘The Golem’ which, if I’m not mistaken, is considered the very first horror movie. Also the first movie based on a Jewish legend. So, there ya go.

I saw it opening night at The Coronet in San Francisco (RIP) and the thing I will never forget is the helicopter hitting the side of the building, the ripples of glass as the impact ring spreads and BOOM!!!! The theater positively ROCKS. The audience completely loses it’s collective mind. One of the greatest cinematic…
Man, Evolution is a weird, weird movie. I really tried to get into it but couldn’t get over just how, like, off it was.

Lifelong Spartans fan here. My uncle was the team physician back in the early 80's and I was gifted with Sparty gear every Christmas since I could walk and I am on the verge of quitting this team/school/organization cold turkey forever. It is impossible to justify to anyone with an iota of intelligence how I can root…
The Rage Cage Hulk. I got this for Christmas when I was 3 and it blew my mind. You inflated him and he breaks out of the cage. Hours of fun!!!
Well, I mean, it is a good way to tenderize meat.
I would also add “Waiting” to the list of this movie’s progeny. Seriously underrated take on corporate fast-casual dining and some very funny performances by Ryan Reynolds, Anna Farris and Justin Long, Hell, even Dane Cook is funny in it.
Ironically, when I dated in SF (now happily co-habitating, thank you) the fact that I wasn’t in tech or loaded was a HUGE plus to the girls I met. I remember one was so ecstatic at the end of the date that I hadn’t looked at my phone the entire time she was willing to get hitched right then and there.
What did Lorde ever do to you? ‘Melodrama’s incredible.
The first half hour of ‘Cool World’ is amazing. The soundtrack too. The last hour is hot garbage and that’s 100% studio interference. They hired the guy who did ‘Fritz The Cat’ and expected him to turn in a summer adventure blockbuster. It was screwed from take 1.
True but, again; hardcore gamers.
The thing is with these retro consoles is that they’re most certainly NOT for hardcore gamers. Those folks are using some sort of emulator whether it be a PC or Raspberry Pi. These things are stocking stuffers for the family to gather round on Christmas and giggle and say “Remember when.....?” then days later begin to…
So, bottom line, this is $20 on Amazon. Worth it?
However dated and flawed it may be; Sixteen Candles is a much funnier movie. Way more Com than Rom. The physical schtick from the bride OD’d on muscle relaxers to Joan Cusack’s brief but brilliant bit as the girl in the neck brace are freakin’ priceless and still slay me everytime. Amazing soundtrack too.
Blane is not a name it’s a major appliance.
Who’s feeling Peanutty?
Thank you! Does Eraserhead have a point other than some vague sense of fear of fatherhood? Nope. It’s just awesome to watch and experience. Tell me what the point of Jodorowsky’s whole career other than pure art for art’s sake. There is none. Most of my favorite movies have no point and that’s just fine. Art is meant…
I’m fully aware at how trite this sounds but you don’t just watch Cosmatos Jr’s movies, you experience them. You have to just give yourself over to them and trust him to take you on the ride. I don’t think either really fully works (there’s a bit towards the end of Mandy where it weirdly goes full-on MacGruber) but,…
