The Thing (John Carpenter version)

--- End quote ---

I saw that in the theater with my family while visiting them in florida.
now it says it came out in 1982 and i know i was in jr. high which was later than 1982 so it must of been some bargain cinema showing past released movies?
IDK but my mom clearly didn't know what the movie was about and while i remember it quite well, the paranoia, the dude chasing the dog shot in the eye, the melting people and spider dog thing almost made me toss my cookies.
my little sister cried and my littler brother just laughed. early signs he was a little bit off nobody caught :)

that was the one and only time i saw it.

I did catch 5 nights at Freddy's last night with the kids.
not bad.

I haven't gone to a movie theater in probably 5 years. nothing really piques my interest enough to warrant spending a hundo to watch something I could easily pirate.

The sad part is I find most movies aren't even worth pirating, much less paying to go see them. Hence this posting. I've added a fair number of movies to my server from these suggestions, and as winter comes down (we already have a foot of snow here), I look forward to many hours of popcorn and good entertainment. I figure that hollywood is just about ready to either disappear or come back with actual GOOD movies...maverick appealed to men, and barbie appealed to women because it was correct genres and correct target audiences. They KNOW they are burning money, I'll bet there are just too many activists still in positions of power to turn on a dime.

nah... just dig up Paul Walker control him with AI and pump out another fast and furious. that's what the kids like right?

I didn't even watch the last one. There was one where 'the rock' was holding a helicopter to a truck using just his arms, and that was the last I ever watched of that. I can suspend reality....only SO FAR.

I think it was captain America who did something similar.
but he has the super soldier serum so he can do it without pulling a muscle.
i'm sure the rocks character's arms were tired after that and couldn't drive for at least 10 mins.
right?

You want to know a few shows I really liked but I see no one ever really talking about them.


HAPPY! I was so pissed when they canceled Season 3. The guy that made the Crank series produced this that is why it is so full of bombastic creativity and violence.





Future Man! This is another one that keeps upping the stakes after every season, it also starts doing the whole time travel and parallel universe thing with a good cast.




The Umbrella Academy. Too much to explain in this series but I really liked the season 3 trailer. One plot line is that there were 300 children all born on the same day with powers, one rich Tycoon was able to adopt 7 of them. In season two they went back in time and that rich Tycoon was so disgusted with them he ended up adopting a different 7 kids with powers and this Trailer shows them fighting their brothers and sisters in the future getting their asses kicked.

I remember 4 years ago when saint tried to tell me that Captain marvel was a "great" movie, well worth a billion dollars in ticket sales.
I'd be curious what he thinks of the latest outing...it's got singing and cats, so it gotta be a hit  ;D


I'm slowly 'acquiring' a lot of the movies in this thread that I had missed. Some good stuff there. It was fairly easy for stuff to just not hit the radar back before the internet. If you didn't read about it, or someone told you about it, or you missed the newspaper entertainment section for a month or so....

(I kind of wish it was still like that, the internet really does suck as much as it's awesome).

There are certain video sites, that people upload movies to,  and the latest  "Fast and Furious"  film was on it.

 I TRIED to watch it.  After less than 15 minutes.. I couldnt take it anymore.  The completely unrealistic physics of what
was taking place, and other super-cheese, was just way too much for me to deal with.   I switched to watching something
else, instead.

 I can have a certain level of suspension of disbelief... but there is definitely a line,  that when it gets crossed.. it becomes
completely immersion breaking, and completely Repulsive.

 Such as the Star Wars Sequel scene... where "Bombs" were being  "DROPPED"  in the gravity-less abyss of outer space.
That, and the crew member, almost "Falling" out of the ship.

 Imaging how many people that had to go through, to get approved... and somehow, NOBODY objected to it!  >_<

 Writers, Writers bosses, SciFi Set designers / Artists, a few different Directors, actors, crew members comments,
and many more...  and yet,  Nobody had said  "Uhh... Space doesnt work like that..."


 I cant remember what the name of the film was..  but recently saw a movie in which like +85% ? of the Earths population
had become vampires...  and the supply of host blood supplies were drying up.   It was an interesting spin on the typical
vampire movies.. and it was done fairly well.
