  1. I can finally start caring at least a little now.
    I'll never get over it...I still can't watch Luka play at all.  I'm so disgusted.  Probably won't until he leaves the lakers, if ever.
    My favorite player and I can't stomach to watch him for another team.

    And on the other end of that spectrum I’m enjoying watching him flourish at a team I’ve hated my entire life.
  2. Bookmarked. A 9-3 Texas isn’t making the CFP. Not this year. Not a chance in hell.
    Who cares what the espn model says.
    To answer you- here are potential 2 (or 1) loss at-large teams that would be in over 9-3 Texas: Oregon, USC, Ole Miss, Georgia, aggy, Vandy, OU, ND, BYU, Utah, Michigan, Miami, Louisville
    assuming…
    SEC champ- Bama
    BIG champ- tOSU
    Big 12 champ- Tech
    ACC champ- who cares
    G6- who cares

    Texas beats Georgia or Aggie and loses a close one to the other - absolutely getting in. 9-3.
  3. Joe Bob Last Drive In Halloween Spooktacular at Texas Theatre lineup.

    1. The Tingler - this is the perfect cult film to watch with an audience.
    2. Trick or Treat (1986) - Never seen this but enjoyed. Ozzy cameo was awesome.
    3. KISS Meets the Phantom - Holy shit this was possibly the worst movie I’ve ever seen. No worry the band has refused to acknowledge it. A blast with a drunk crowd.
    4. Halloween 3 - with a post viewing discussion between Joe Bob and Darcy - which was hilarious. He hates this movie with a passion. I’m a fan.
    5. Phantom of the Paradise - The film that inspired Daft Punk? Can’t believe I’ve never seen this, just awesome in every way. Paul Williams is a genius.

    Had a great time. Would recommend.

  4. In addition to my 2025 ranking above - here are a few I’ve watched recently that I don’t see mentioned that often and a few my kids enjoy for Halloween every year:

    - Strange Harvest - if you enjoy mockumentaries/found footage this is definitely worth a watch. Production value and acting is a step above what you would typically see in this subgenre. 6.5/10 (rent)
    - Braindead/Dead Alive - I hadn’t seen this in probably 20 years and holy shit what a ride. Peter Jackson was in to some weird shit. One of the goriest movie ever made - but in a lovable way?? 8.5/10 (hard to find)
    - Beast of War - Low budget Australian b-movie but hard to go wrong with WW2 and a terrifying shark. Acting was pretty good as well. 6/10 (rental)
    - Match - I didn’t like this as much as some others on this thread, but still worth a free watch on Tubi. The protagonist was just too worthless and it fizzled towards the end for me. 4.5/10 (Tubi)
    - The Long Walk - One of my favorite SK books and this lived up to the hype for me. 8/10 (Rental)
    - Rituals (1977) - If you are a fan of Deliverance, this is a must-see. 7.5/10 (Prime, Tubi)
    - Good Boy - I enjoyed this for what it was - props for bringing something original to the table and it had some legit scares. 6.5/10 (Rent)
    - V/H/S Halloween - probably 2nd best in the series for me. I think if this got a theater release and more exposure it would be big for the masses. 7.5/10 (Shudder)
    - The Pit (1981) - If you are in to early 80s weirdness, this will scratch that itch. 6.5/10 (Tubi)
    - Cure - I mentioned this before in this thread. If you enjoy slow-burn Asian horror this is an absolute must see. I lost sleep over this shit. 10/10 (rent)
    - Frewaka - One of the better folk horror movies I’ve seen in awhile. 7.5/10 (shudder)
    - Pater Noster and the Mission of Light - In to extremely low budget crazy-ass cult shit? This is for you. 7/ 10 (rent)
    - The Coffee Table - I don’t even know what to say here. Easily the most uncomfortable subject matter on this list. It’s a dark comedy so that gives it some wiggle room I guess? Just….I warned you. 6.5/10 (shudder, Tubi)
    - Red Rooms - Not necessarily horror but one of the best movies of the last couple years imo. I’ve seen it 3 times and end up having a different take every time. 9.5/10 (shudder)
    - Ghost Watch - If you havent seen this, do it. This was filmed as a news special back in the 80s - similar to Dateline or 20/20 and it freaked an entire country out. 9/10 (Shudder)
    - Freddie Freako - Homage to Ghoulies, Puppet Master, even Garbage Pail Kids (but really good). Same director that did the great Psycho Gorman (must see) and The Void. 7/10 (Shudder, Tubi)
    - Candyland - Lot lizards getting picked off by a serial killer. Lots of nudity and violence. This was a true hidden gem. 6.5/10 (Shudder, Tubi)
    - The Innocents (1961) - Absolute classic and holds up well. My teenager wasn’t excited about it but ended up loving it. 9.5/10 (rent)
    - Trick r Treat - My families Halloween tradition. 7.5/10 (Max)
    - The Orphanage - Another one we try to revisit every couple years. 9/10 (rent)
    - Lake Mungo - #3 on the Wutang family tradition list. People hate this or love it. I think it’s awesome. 8/10 (Tubi)

    Here are some personal favorite FF movies that you might not have heard of:

    - Milk & Serial
    - Butterfly Kisses
    - Jeruzulem
    - Delivery: The Beast Within (slow but brutal)
    - Europa Report
    - The Tunnel
    - Borderlands
    - Wer
    - Afflicted
    - Missing: Life of Belle (Not great but the ending is shocking)
    - There are Monsters
    - The Sacrement
    - Taking of Deborah Logan

  5. We watched it last night. Wife and I enjoyed it. Oldest liked it until the end which she thought was dumb. We all decided living in the early pilgrim days would've sucked. 

    This is a favorite after multiple viewings through the years.

    Always a fun family discussion around the witches broom as a phallic symbol and it representing Thomasin’s sexual liberation at the end of the movie.

    Also - Black Phillip is creepy af.

  6. I watched a movie last night called Beast of War. Australian WW2 movie with a killer shark? Hell yes!

    I think they did an amazing job for what really is a low budget B movie. They chose to go with practical effects and the shark is F’n terrifying.

  7. sure.  I know it is a hot take  and we aren't even 10% in.   who really knows but D does not look very good.  I'll admit I'm not up on NHL coaches but the hire seemed very meh...we'll see.

    They couldn’t wait to get rid of him in Calgary. Why would we hire a guy that barely made it two years there? Anyone know? Just because he was an assistant for the team that kicked our ass?
  8. For horror fans I cannot recommend Kanopy enough. It’s free with a library card (limited) or use your kid’s student account (unlimited).

    The library is top notch - and you can really dig in to some obscure indie/classic/foreign stuff if that’s your thing.

    You could just use Tubi and Kanopy for a very long time and be happy and spend nothing.

  9. For those into this sort of thing, every disc at criterion is half off today only. Some awesome 4Ks and box sets relatively cheap. 

    Cure, Battle of Algiers, In the Mood for Love (4k), Memories of Murder, Rushmore.

    Thanks for the heads up!

    Edit - Wes Anderson Archives (10 films) for $250 if that’s your thing.
