Neil's right; if the Hughes legacy been flattened into "wholesomeness," I assume the cause is his later family/kiddie comedies. The positive reputation of Hughes' teen film cycle — rowdy comedies and sensitive romances alike — was that they spoke to adolescents with a sympathy uncommon at the time.

Don't Do What Astro Does!: Never press your thumbs into the front of your partner's throat the way Astro is illustrating; your aim is to apply pressure to the carotid artery on the sides of the neck, not crush their trachea.

The literary influence of The Real Ghostbusters episode “When Halloween Was Forever”

The wait for The Moon and Serpent Bumper Book of Magic was totally worth it.

Disappointing trends in declining popular interest: Children of Paradise, Chaplin, Ford, Bergman, golden age musicals & Westerns.

idk which insaneo merch announcement made me laugh more today, the Captain Trips board game or TMBG selling a sledgehammer

This is not, in fact, the first-ever novel-length Rocky Horror comic. The film was adapted in 1990 over three issues written and drawn by Kevin VanHook, published by Caliber Comics.

Angel s5e12 “You’re Welcome”, Spike plays Donkey Kong as physical therapy for his reattached hands (cut off in “Damage”), and we hear accurate sound effects, but he’s clearly playing on Xbox, which never had a DK port, so Wolfram and Hart must have provided some kind of interdimensional console.

Ranking The Long Walk at 14 of 72 Stephen King adaptations + ancillaries I’ve seen (that’s between The Stand ‘94 & Pet Sematary ‘89). Remarkable it exists at all, but nagging feelings that minus digital blood & if the characterization of McVries & ending were book-accurate it’d jump a few places.

Did You Check Up Your Ass, Idiot?

Conjuring Last Rites is about a crazy haunted mirror the Warrens met on their 1st case, then they fight it again on their last job. I thought we'd learn something about the weird mirror demon or whatever, or its connection to the family, etc? Nope! Just a really mean super fucked up mirror I guess!

say amen somebody & tap the sign while you're at it

The only Conjuring movies I have seen are: -The Conjuring -The Nun 2 -The Conjuring: Last Rites I’m uh gonna assume this is a fair representative survey and consider the case closed.

Coffin Joe has real “online Dom” energy. #TheLastDriveIn

⭐️⭐️ Just appreciating how assembling this collection on DVD used to take up 3 solid feet of shelf, and more space than a full-grown man on VHS ⭐️⭐️

Let Lana Del Rey do a Bond theme

why’s this thread so long when Ween is in It’s Pat

!!! These panel compositions are stunners. Love the way the whole layout is nailed down with repeating Big Circle shapes of the full moon, street light, gate ironwork, and funeral wreath.

Got piece of Morrissey’s shirt.

counterpoint it would fuckin rock if they don’t make these kinds of movies anymore

Lana Del Rey's new album is now called 'Stove'

drink the harvey milk, jon

This beauty was unexpectedly incredible and I ate at least five boxes before it disappeared. Also I have never seen this movie.

Movies shouldn't have a "dreamlike quality". I'm awake for a reason!

working in the lab* late one night ** *(i don’t work in a lab) **(more like 940am)

“let’s lanza”?? (it’s “La Bamba”) (this is the lyrics to the Garfield and Friends theme “Ready to Party”) (wait, even if you couldn’t discern “La Bamba,” wouldn’t you assume it was “lasagna,” not gibberish?) (actually, why isn’t it “lasagna”?)

Post one of the most haunting shots in movie history from a film made before the year 2000

...? So... as several ... other art forms... do. Gotcha.

All of Gen X when this brutal diss track dropped in '94:

Shoebox full of Dead audience tapes

Yeah, they took a disgusting, immoral job and got fucked by their even-more-disgusting-and-immoral bosses. Burn the Sphere down.

Everyone is aghast when Angel lets Darla and Dru eat a wine cellar full of Wolfram and Hart lawyers in “Reunion”, but it’s probably more morally justifiable than or equal to Buffy letting the mutant swim team rape their coach to death in ”Go Fish”.

Ghoul shit. My mind is spontaneously generating a non-artificial semi-intelligent video of Rod Stewart being flayed by demons in Hell.

Ah yes, “how do you talk to girls?”; the most ancient heterosexual question since they invented heterosexuality.

My friend Jamal sat through the OD/adrenaline shot sequence in Pulp Fiction, stood up, walked out to the lobby, and promptly fainted.
