Am I doing it right?

So wait.

I hope the Reiwa era fairs better than the Heisei. 1989 really was the year that the “lost decade” began. I would even expand that and say the Heisei era was a lost generation for Japan. It seems fitting though that the Reiwa era will begin on a high note with the 2020 olympics and a recovering economy.

The scariest part of the movie was the seeing The Ramones prove how far they were able to coast on the good will they earned a decade earlier.

I honestly think Ghostbusters 2 (like Predator 2 and Alien 3) gets an unfairly bad rap. I loved that movie as a kid. Big Liberty striding down the street had me jumping up and down in glee :D

When this movie came out, my family had a burly grey cat that looked exactly like Church. He was the neighborhood bully cat and kind of an asshole, but we also loved him to death (poor choice of words... haha). Seeing this movie just made him even cooler. At least until he dragged a whole turkey off the kitchen table…

Counterpoint: there are boobs in Return of the Living Dead.

Two very, very valid reasons for nightmares. 

Return of the Living Dead -specifically the Tar zombie, the exposed spine zombie, and the prevalent 80's fear of nuclear annihilation and A Clockwork Orange. 

I found it interesting that your article didn’t mention the words “grief” or “loss”. Watched the original Pet Semetary again last night with someone who hadn’t seen it, and it just rings out that this is a story about people who can’t process grief and make choices to avoid confronting it at all costs.  It’s a…
