Watching Movies Alone with crumbsroom

First you Corrie people talk about watching porn together. Now you're in here openly discussing snuff films? What kind of deviant perverts are you bunch!?!?!

Pretty sure it's on Tubi, or at least it used to be.

Is Tubi the free site? Because I'm all about free stuff.

Yes. You'll have to deal with occasional ad breaks, but typically they're few and far between. Judging by the type of movies I've seen you champion, I think you'll love their selection. It's a haven for cult/grindhouse/B-movies and others of that sort.

I'll second the recommendation for Tubi. A lot of the movies on there have nice transfers as well.

Good to know

I actually liked Howard The Duck when it came out. I probably watched it 12-15 times. I was 13.

Thank you, Sedai.

Anybody know where DaMU is?

I think he's taking a break. I am gently harassing him via e-mail from time to time.

DaMU joined this board early on, but he hasn't posted yet for some reason.

Tubi is quite awesome (based on about a week's experience). I would have joined earlier, but it's US only, and I'm Finnish. Fortunately, they're not too bothersome about the area restrictions, and unlike Netflix, it appears to work just fine via VPN.

The amount of ads is quite inconsistent (and their length as well - I'm actually getting anal cancer from those damn Gardasil 9 ads that last forever and were in practically every break during the last film I watched).

I interact with him periodically on Facebook and Letterboxd.

What is his handle on Letterboxd?

Oh it appears we're already following each other.


I have a hard time remembering who everyone from Corrie is called on letterboxd.

The following story contains Snuff spoilers, but honestly the spoiled bit is the only reason anybody would ever watch it anyway, so... whatever.

When I was a kid I had a cool uncle who was 11 years older than me, so when I was 8 or so he was 19. Long hair, played the drums and could draw well. I thought he was awesome. One day I'm at my grandmother's house (his mom) and he tells us about the movie he saw in which a woman was "actually" murdered at the end. He described the scene in detail, including the bit where the guy triumphantly holds up the victim's intestines to the camera. (I was 5 years old when the film was released so I guess at the time of this incident I would've been 9 at the oldest and probably younger). Was my uncle aware that it was fake? Probably not, knowing him, but the point is I was too young to question whether this was real or not. As far as I was concerned it was. So at that young age I was confronted with the idea that A/ sometimes people are killed "just because"; B/ there are people who consider that entertaining; C/ your local theater will gladly show it; and D/ my awesome uncle thought it was cool. We use the word "scarred" all the time, but this is one case where the word fits. It put me in a real funk and to this day it influences how I speak when children are around. In the early days of the internet I finally got around to looking up the movie which is how I learned the title of the film and everything.

I don’t know what the point of this story is. “Being a kid in the 70s was scary”, maybe.

Yikes! I'm sorry that happened.

It is. There's a wide mix from respectable to the stuff that Vudu won't tell others about.

There are ads, but they aren't obnoxious unlike some competitors (Crackle comes to mind).
