““commercial” is a relative term for a film where the camera lingers on a character pulling a lengthy tress of child’s hair from the back of her throat.”

Nothing commercial about that.

There certainly wasn’t anything commercial about that very thing happening in The Ring nearly twenty years ago, because that movie…

Yes--that’s exactly what I meant but better said!  And, I admit, I can’t think of any reason why it wouldn’t be available aside from soundtrack either (when I rewatched it a few years back it was via a not great quality torrent).  I just brought up Thank God It’s Friday because, even as a big disco and Donna Summer…

Call me impatient if you must, but surely I can’t be the only one who *loathes* time loop stories?

For me, Disneyland will always be about the chocolate-coated, frozen banana.  Yes, the last time I was at Disneyland was 1991. 

Fuck the Dole Whip. I said it. It’s so disgustingly overly sweet I couldn’t eat mine both times I’ve sampled one, at DW and the Dole plantation in Hawaii. The Dole Whip is what emerges when a people ingest way too much sugar as part of their daily diet and their bodies are desensitized to its intake

Surely Goodbar’s soundtrack could be easily cleared. They cleared the Casablanca/Motown heavy soundtrack for Thank God It’s Friday for crying out loud (which featured disco Diana Ross and Donna Summer just like Goodbar which also was a soundtrack jointly licensed from Casablanca and Motown), so I can’t buy that excuse…

I haven’t seen Goodbar in a long time, but it really does stay with you - the sick, claustrophobic feeling of her hospital flashbacks in particular. And Diane Keaton, Tom Berenger and Richard Gere are so good (so is Tuesday Weld). The ending is just nightmarish, and even for that era you’re amazed they got away with…

The entire point of disco was escapism from a very rough period in America’s history.

I would argue that Rocky and First Blood are also like that in that people who grew up with the cheesy sequels don't realize that the original movies are serious movies about boxing and PTSD. Stallone basically went from being a potentially great dramatic actor to basically just being the forerunner of Arnie S and The…

Is this true for anyone else?

I think the background dancers during “We Go Together” are super fun to watch.  They’re my favorite part of those last few minutes.

He shows his love by putting on a sweater for ten minutes, she shows her love by becoming a slut. Classic.

Having seen both Mandy is much better.  They’re quite different though, if Nic Cage wasn’t in both no one would think to compare the two.

Look at this guy, a veritable Mandy-Lore-ian.

Ha yeah I know some people in situations like that and also some people in better situations marriage wise, it just doesn’t seem like something I’d ever want for myself.

ASS: Ignore the sex, it gets easier as time goes on and you realize it’s WAY more of a pain than it’s worth. 

Confirmed 9 yo

good point

No. 

I don’t know: it does tell the story of a white man who is so beat down by an unfair society that he’s justified in striking back, including by killing his innocent black neighbor. The objectionable themes are pretty blatant.
