I haven’t seen a Marvel movie since Spider-Man: Far from Home and I’m not in much of a hurry to catch up. The Avengers movies tell a fairly self-contained story that wraps up nicely with Endgame, and I don’t feel like committing to another 22 movies or so to get that sense of closure again. Seem like a good run.

Army of Dweebs: Tolerability Drift

Man, imagine if Leatherface got ahold of the Cenobite puzzle box. Pinhead and crew would show up, take one look at all the grime and animal carcasses, and quietly slip away back to hell where it’s posh and clean.

I’ll spare his life! But only for you, sugar pants.

Being an obnoxious asshole is a protected class now, or didn’t you know? And if you disagree, you are cancel culture incarnate.

I’m the guy who eats a lot at Six Flags. And so is my wife.

I should think you, because now I know that some good came of me watching Game of Thrones after all.

Get this: they’re just in your head. In your hea-a-ad.

Yeah, this guy is a bad apple, an asshole with little regard for set safety and no regard for the sanctity of a lunch break, but there’s a definite systemic problem when this sort of asshole gets put in charge time and again. It seems to me that his priorities, of saving time, saving money and cutting corners wherever

S. Darko was made without any input from Kelly if I recall correctly. But no need to fret: he, too, squandered much of the title’s mystique with his much-touted director’s cut.

Chut up.

Shoulda gotten off when he told them to.

Eh, it stars Missandei on her post-Game of Thrones victory lap. That’s kind of a “get”.

Verily, it has gone the way of The Gingerdead Man.

I wholeheartedly agree. Halloween has been copied and imitated so much that its power is diluted. But two remakes later, no one has duplicated the experience of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

For my money, Slumber Party Massacre has one great moment, where one of the sisters opens the refrigerator to get a beer and doesn’t notice the corpse inside. I can appreciate that Rita Mae Brown wanted to make a feminist subversion of the slasher, and I can see what she’s going for but I don’t think it’s very

Most of these are correct. Then again, there was a lot of chaff in there that shouldn’t have survived the first round of culling: Leprechaun, Slumber Party Massacre, Silent Night Deadly Night. So a lot of tonight’s eliminations are no-brainers.

This is understandable. One franchise is fun but not scary. The other is scary but not fun.

Yeah, “My Bloody Valentine” is a legit slasher,  and it definitely deserves a place in the starting lineup over any of the Charles Band franchises.

Maniac Cop should’ve at least made it to round 2. Not a better movie than Hitchcock’s “Psycho”, sure, but for my buck a better slasher franchise. And Leprechaun over Jeepers Creepers? Hardly.
