Things You Just Found Out/Learned Recently?
Posted By skizzerflake
Re: Things You Just Found Out/Learned Recently?

I went to school with a number "stars" of early, cheezy 8 mm John Waters movies as well as the cinematographer. They lived in the neighborhood and, at some point, there was a rumor that some of...

I'm OK with talky movies, but not THAT talky, especially when I'm not interested in what they are talking about.

One of these days, I will possibly watch it again, just to see if I still react...

My Dinner With Andre - It's a 1981 movie that I got dragged to when it was being re-run in a pretentious "Art Film" theater because it was profound. Two guys sit and talk about stuff. That's it. I...

What was the last DVD you bought and why?

Re: What was the last DVD you bought and why?

Same purchase - Kolchak, The Night Stalker. It had about a dozen and a half episodes, 1974 - 1975. Carl Kolchak was a nosy newspaper reporter who always found a monster, spook or something weird...

Re: What was the last DVD you bought and why?

The Outer Limits, Seasons 1 and 2. These mid-60's sci-fi-wierdness episodes are amazing in how well written and acted they were. FX are fairly cheesy, but you realize that the FX (mainly the...

It's been a while since a full-bore British movie with no FX, so The Lost King was enjoyable. Phillipa (the very likable Sally Hawkins), feeling unappreciated at work and having gone to a...

Get Out

Re: Get out... review

I've really liked all of Peele's movies. It's great to have a new "voice" in this genre, which is often so cheesy and stereotypic. I'm white, but I've seen enough racial sh*t in my life that I can...

What's your favorite John Carpenter Flick?

Re: What's your favorite John Carpenter Flick?

Wow....The Thing is an all time favorite. I love that Carpenter has taken a "low end" genre and made them well. I like that he does that genre probably as well as anybody could, knowing that the...

Bruce Willis to Retire from Acting

Re: Bruce Willis to Retire from Acting

That's sad. Any time you see the word "dementia" in a diagnosis, it doesn't go anywhere good and age just makes it worse. I didn't have a name for what I've noticed, but the past few times I've...

All this also applies to puppies, beaches, messing around on web sites, beer,...

Re: The Philosophy of Science Fiction

For better or worse, humans need short term outcomes, thrills and discoveries. Budget people work on one year cycles. I think we need to wait a while to try this....probably way after I'm gone.

Science is pretty hard in this era. "this is IT" should be the slogan. I don't know about future centuries, but, for now, the best we can hope for is some tenuous trips to a hot or cold rock (Venus...

It seems appropriate that we remember the death day of HP Lovecraft. This guy was so damn weird, both in reality and especially in his fictional life. Just start with the Call of Cthulhu and tell...
