    Hereditary probably a tougher watch for a 16 year old than Exorcist. The latter is pretty old times feeling by today’s standards.

    on the flip side, original Texas Chain Saw Massacre still creeps me out. Amazing movie.

    Hereditary is my 16-yo's favorite movie. I just recently let him watch The Exorcist, and he was completely underwhelmed. Lots of the other movies that scared the shit out of me as a kid are non-events by his standards - he was so bored by Nightmare on Elm Street, for example, that he fell asleep. 

    ITA on the original Chainsaw Massacre movie, btw. My son wasn't super creeped out, but it had him on edge far more than the original Freddy or Halloween movies, for sure.

    Terrifier 3 was well worth the money. There's not a crazier kill than the bedroom scene, but some gnarly ass kills overall. The story was fun, too.

    You mean the bedroom scene in Terrifier 2?

    Watched a couple of new releases this week.

    Daddy's Head - definitely had some creepy moments, and great acting, but the ending left a bit too much unresolved for my taste.

     

     

    Hold Your Breath - love Sarah Paulson and the acting was great, but the movie overall was pretty boring

    Sabado Gigante resonated with me. the lol wtf everytime i saw it. Hot chicks, bumblebees, rapid espanol. Loved it

    "Why was that guy dressed like Dracula?" 🤣

    The actual Don Francisco commented on it on YouTube!

     

  4. Disappointing. It was mostly a straight retelling of the book, down to it being set in the 70s. And while it's always fun to see Danish Josh Jackson, he didn't do much with Straker. I agree that it went too fast to fully capture the book.

    It's a tough watch.

    I think it is put well above, a sequel that didn't want, or need, to be made.

    The ending is the only thing that was cool. That is exactly how the movie deserved to die, and it tied to Ledger's Joker.

    The ending is so fucking stupid if you think about it for even 5 minutes. How the fuck could it be the ledger joker when harvey dent was burned just a scene earlier?

    I agree that the sequel didn't need to be made. Joker had its issues, but it was overall a good movie, and I'm not generally into superhero movies. This was a beating, though. I'll spoiler stuff out of an abundance of caution, even though some stuff has been revealed already.

    Spoiler

    Overall, the most disappointing thing about the plot twist was that before it, I thought I was watching a villain origin story. Now, it turns out we were just watching some random psycho named Arthur Fleck who inspired the actual Joker? He really was, as he said at the end, just Arthur Fleck? A secondary issue to me was the random sidebar about Lee being rich and going to grad school for psychology. I thought they were going to come back to that, like she really was playing him, but I don't think that's where they landed. Both my son and I came away bored and disappointed.

    A lot of people are gonna be pissed they got backdoored into seeing a musical. 

    I feel like all of the promo has talked about it being a musical, so it would be hard to miss that aspect going in.

    Not sure he’d incite a riot. They’re in different categories. I abhor Cruz. Our daughters go to the same camp so I’m exposed to him for a day every summer. He’s very aloof and is basically a fat dork. One of his daughters got booted from the camp a few years ago because she’s fucked up. I give Cruz credit for not making a big stink about it, or pulling his other daughter from camp. I fully expected him to do both. 

    Eh, he shouldn't get credit for acting like a normal human person.

    Ive said that many times, but yet here I am still working. Its harder to walk away than one thinks, but I can see that day happening more clearly every passing minute. One of my buddies and I were joking on a jobsite today actually if someone came up with the right offer we would hand over the keys to our companies tomorrow.

    Nice humblebrag.

    Holy fucking shit what a theater experience lol. 

     

    One guy left really early. 

    The reaction of others around me walking out were all mine too... intense, bonkers, glad I saw it. 

    Hope it sounds cool at home with a good speaker set up.  Theater sound was poppin.

    What a cool role for Demi to do, her and Qualley were both great.  

     

    I was surprised at how much the sound contributed to the grossness.

  8. This was fuuuuucked up but I would still recommend it. And I echo what others have said about not eating while watching.

    If you've ever thought “I wish there was a movie that combined the Let’s Get Physical music video with Perfect and then overlaid everything with a heavy dose of The Fly”, this is your lucky day.

    Spoiler

    The Dennis Quaid eating scene at the beginning was possibly the grossest thing in a movie full of gross things.

    Well, I gotta admit, I've never personally witnessed an eyewall to a hurricane, and if the path deviates just a hair to the west, I've got a shot at it.  So I've got that going for me.  In other news, all the milk and bread has been purchased at the store, so apparently, our community is now ready.  Meanwhile, plenty of chain oil is sitting on shelves in stores, should work out great!

    It's really eerie. The sky turns this greenish color and everything goes still and quiet. I don't wish upon you the storm you have to get through to get into the eye. Stay safe.

    I have 2 uncles that rode out hurricane Rita in Buna in a trailer surrounded by a ton of tall pine trees. They said as scary as it was to ride out the storm, the worst part was the 3 weeks that followed with no electricity or running water in humid weather and surviving on MREs that FEMA brought in. 

    My aunt and uncle insisted on driving my grandparents to their lake house in Toledo Bend. My parents took my other grandma and drove the 21 hours it took to get from Groves to Austin. Aunt, uncle, and grandparents were stuck up there 3-ish weeks, too.

    The jumpers.  The (very loud) thuds.

    Always hard to watch on television.  Cannot imagine what it was like to be there. 

    Stumbled across this documentary a few days ago and just finished. The jumpers and the thuds...my god. One thing that kind of surprised me - and I'm not complaining - is that in all the footage, you don't see any bodies. With all the carnage they described, I was expecting there to be blurred out body parts.

    I had my 8 AM capstone finance course that Tuesday. We got out, and campus was empty. I was standing with two of my closest college friends, and their frat brother came running yelling that the US had been attacked. We ran into the student center and down to the coffee shop and watched everything in absolute horror. No one left until later that afternoon. We were horrified and also trying to get in touch with our friends who worked in the area. It's something I won't forget.

    I also had an 8 am class that day - media law in CMA. Watched the towers collapse in the auditorium where class was supposed to be held.

    I watched United 93 recently and was shocked at how affected I was by it. When it came out back in 2006, I remember thinking that there was no way I could handle it, and I thought it was more of a Jerry Bruckheimer-ish action movie. Which it absolutely is not.

    I've been going on a Shudder binge.

    Speak No Evil - it's fucked up. It nails despair pretty damn well.

    Eden Park - gang of shit heads terrorizing a couple camping. 

    Some tough moments. 

    Both of those are great. I just rewatched Speak No Evil in preparation for the new one.

    Just go and see it on the big screen. Even if you go by yourself it’s worth it to do it for this one.

    I go see movies by myself all the time. That'll probably be the case with this one - can't imagine my husband will be up for it. 

    What level of gross are we talking here? Infinity Pool? The Fly? Terrorizer 2?

    Never cared much for Jimmy Stewart but Mr Smith Goes to Washington is good. 

    I love him in anything, but especially Harvey and The Philadelphia Story. He should've won the Oscar for Mr. Smith and I think he won it for Philadelphia Story because they fucked up by not giving it to him for Mr. Smith. Obviously I love It's a Wonderful Life, too.

    I can still fap to that. 

    Not in any way to downplay the signifigance of gaining another 100k voters in AZ, so I'm glad they're going to go this route to court Mormons. THat being said, the bolded above...Those elders sound like grifting motherfuckers who might like the cut of Trump's jib.

    That being said, I've also heard that mormon's make the best neighbors, etc. so maybe they do prioritize harmony over division. Unless you're black. 

    My Mormon neighbors have a Harris/Walz sign up. The wife is the one who added me to the Mothers Against Greg Abbott FB group a few years back.

    Here’s how you know how shitty, unprincipled, and evil the GQP is: if Robinson was up 10 in the polls, they’d have buried this. All of it.
    The only thing the GQP has a problem with is losing. Literally everythign else is ok. He could rape a goat after sodomizing a baby, then selling the nuclear codes to Putin, and that wouldn’t move the needle.

    It's legit.

     

     

     

     

     

    I've come to the conclusion that the only thing that MIGHT be unacceptable to these people is a Black Mirror-style scenario where some high-ranking GOP male has sex with a pig on television. Then again, there's a high probability that the base will be like, "Fuck that pig." And mean it both ways.

    We lost our chocolate lab last year to sudden neurological issues associated with eating a toxic snail at lake LBJ.  His front leg ballooned up around his paw, started having seizures, and stopped eating.  Was a really terrible ordeal to go through so I can't say Mrs. MailRoom will be 100% onboard but going to talk to her about it this afternoon.

    PSA - If your doggo ever gets sudden inflammation after going swimming in fresh water lakes, take them to the vet immediately.  We wound up with $8k in vet bills because no one could figure it out until it was too late.

    I'm so sorry. That's horrible.
