FLESH GORDON (1974) dir: Howard Ziehm, Michael Benveniste

Ironically, that's what spared his life. Had Lovecraft come into contact with a seasoning stronger than black pepper, he would've dissolved like that dead guy whose air conditioning went on the fritz.

Just now noticed the bottom of that display rack, those are Nabisco Cookie Break, the best damn vanilla sandwich cookies that they ever made. I think about them every time I eat a 'Golden Oreo'. Cookie Break is what I judge every other vanilla sandwich cookie by. They have all been found wanting.

Coffee was cooler in a can.

‘Iron Eagle’ starring Louis Gossett Jr, Jason Gedrick, Tim Thomerson, Shawnee Smith, Melora Hardin, Larry B. Scott, and David Suchet hit theaters on this day 40 years ago 🎶 🔥 🪖 #OTD

One of the most disturbing US horror films of the 1970s hails from the writers of Temple Of Doom. Here’s why you should see Messiah Of Evil. filmstories.co.uk/news/messiah...

Feels like we've disproved both evolution and intelligent design.

We haven't had a theater in our town since the 1950s. What in the hell does he think we've been doing all this time?

Some folks say that SHE is 'not very good'. Well I never went to college, but back in the day, I watched this movie a couple of dozen times on HBO, and if SHE only had another thirty or forty bucks in the budget, this thing might've been a masterpiece. youtu.be/koubGuN6A38?...

"Many of his family members fought with the Allied forces against the Germans in World War II, and “I learned from them very early that what one does with Nazis is kill them,” he said at a 2023 conference on antinuclear activism in Johannesburg. “I am not a pacifist.”"

Probably unrelated to Cameron's current woes, but still.

Treat yourself by Googling Chicxulub, and I don't mean just look it up, I mean literally Google it, because they've put a little effort into that result page and it's pretty cool. They don't do that often enough. Also, related questions are priceless. www.google.com/search?q=Chi...

Careful there, Jimmy. Columbo locked that guy up for killing his campaign manager.

Here is Ted Turner’s original introduction to “Threads”: “It is not our intention to frighten, but to inform. Because the more we know about what could happen, the less chance it is that it will happen.” WTBS aired “Threads” two additional times that month.

WTBS ran this print advertisement to promote the premiere. On the following day, WTBS aired two other programs about nuclear war, “On the 8th Day,” a special report about nuclear winter, and “Breaking the Spell,” a US-Soviet expert dialogue about avoiding nuclear war, both featuring Carl Sagan.

Tonight in 1985, the harrowing and grimly realistic nuclear war drama “Threads” first aired in the United States on cable superstation WTBS, thanks to station owner and very concerned citizen Ted Turner. This unforgettable film is currently streaming for free in the United States on Kanopy.

All due respect to the Romani, the way I just heard a notable music YouTuber chicken out of saying the title of this Cher song, you'd have thought it was a Fred Williamson western. youtu.be/2xHhWkz5aMc?...

I'm okay with Batman signing Marvel alumni so long as it offsets each of those actors with an equal or greater number of these magnificent weirdos.

Coroner played by Joseph Shaw is my second favorite character in The Brood. I love that he reacts to this little freak with the sort of mild amusement you'd expect if he'd just found an extra toe. I only wish that Cronenberg had pulled a Law & Order and had him eating a sandwich while he worked.

Well I'd just love to see you try, little lady. 𝘰𝘩 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 www.cinemablend.com/streaming-ne...
