This is so perfect. I give you all my perfect stars (I only have one)

Agreed wholeheartedly.

I was a projectionist at a movie theater during its first run.  I would try to saunter into the auditorium during the nurse scene as often as I could, just to experience the audience’s fresh reaction over and over again.

We are basically the exact same age, and I too saw the TV broadcast of Halloween in 1981. My parents are ALSO first gen hippies.  We should be best friends.

If you love the movie (I love the movie!), I recommend listening to the Season of the Witch episode of “How Did This Get Made?” Probably my favorite episode!

HELL HOUSE, LLC!!!!  YES!  I’ve been screaming about this movie for 2 years to whoever will listen.  If you are a horror movie fan, follow Katie’s recommendation.  It’s a can’t miss.  Genuinely creepy and, at times, genuinely scary.  And one of the very few found footage movies that justifies the existence of the…

I’m all for plot developments best described as “for some reason.”

Oh that’s fucking brilliant

YES! Ball placement is just kinda “close enough-ish” during the game, until the last couple minutes of a half or the game ... then suddenly the refs are ultra-precise. They are the same way with the clock (and the clock managers seemingly play right along). At the end of the half or the game, microseconds of time…

I’m with you 100% on this. Reading the book is informative. The book is very lurid. Friedkin tones down some of the more lurid aspects in his film. And, for sure, Regan was a child. I don’t buy the anti-feminist accusation.  It gives the book and the movie a little too much credit, in my opinion.  It’s not so deep.

I’m disappointed if this movie is anything other than a shot-for-shot remake of Batman Forever.

Ah I forgot about Red State!  I enjoyed it.  Entertaining from start to finish.

Agreed.  Clerks II was surprisingly ... ok?

I was thinking the same!  I’m reading this, loving it, and thinking ... “I’m signing up ... thanks Katie!”

If you can’t recognize that every single candidate on that stage is wildly more qualified than the current president, then frankly I’m not sure you’re worth convincing.  Why do you think it’s ok to vote for, or not vote against, someone you yourself recognize is a “complete disaster”?

You deserve more stars for this perfectly strange little vignette!

It’s so fucking lazy, right?  I mean, par for the course with these chuckleheads I suppose.  There’s nothing clever or witty about this, and it is certainly generous to suggest it’s a parody. 

Condorman!  Oh wow that was a big favorite of kid me

It’s either 1, which is unprecedented, or 5 (or 6)

That scene had me all teary-eyed.  A beautiful performance by both actors.
