I didn't write it! When I write stuff I make references to things in a cool, interesting way

Death Machine. The guy who wrote/directed it also did effects work on Aliens and Alien 3

Two other characters in this movie are named "Weyland" and "Yutani"

I heard one of these one time but it began with a guy reading out loud "this is the 60 second edit. begin ad now:" and then it went into it

And we're wasting even more with these posts! It's a sad state of affairs

People love to name characters in movies stuff like "Scott Ridley" or "John Carpenter" or "Sam Raimi" and they should not

An eBay seller sent me an offer on at $12. I countered with $10. Then he countered with $13. I sent another counter of $11, which he accepted. Was the $1 really worth all that

They really did make it right the first time in the '70s, and the subsequent 3 adaptations just seem beside the point

Mike Flanagan says ideally his Carrie show would run for 3 seasons total. The show already went through all the events (and more) of the book in the 1st season

Admittedly, I didn't watch all of it but I think I got the gist. The interview stuff is vaguely like the book since that has epistolary elements with multiple narrators, reports excerpted, etc. But that's done to basically say nothing can explain what happened, and in the show it's the opposite

The whole thing is told from a frame story of a documentarian interviewing everybody post-destruction. Which doesn't work because then you know who survives. Then at the end the interviewer kills Carrie's mom, revealing she was working with the X-Men or whatever

They also do it so Carrie's mom dies via heart attack, which is accurate to the book. But doesn't work in a visual medium, because then she just kind of slumps over and that's it

That would make more sense. In the show there's an instagram account made in Carrie's name that's used to bully all the other students at the school and the profile pic is Carrie in the showers. But everybody thinks it's not Carrie, and then it turns out it was Chris Hargensen doing it so ???

Also, the story kind of just doesn't work if you show every single other student at the school get bullied. And Carrie constantly gets revenge on them throughout, so there's no real build to the ending

140

Then when Carrie goes home after, her mom reveals that she has powers too. Carrie doesn’t kill her mom and escapes. So Carrie lives at the end. And then some random person who’s making a documentary about Carrie interviews her mom and uses her own telekinetic powers to kill her

350

So there's a team of other telekinetics that are like the X-Men who find out about Carrie and in the prom scene one of them possesses Carrie's mind and she's the one who destroys everything and not Carrie

160

Every episode of Carrie ends with a "ON THE NEXT CARRIE" which is quaint, but it's on streaming and they released every episode the same day

070

There’s a lot of narrative things that you just should not do. Like, even though everybody knows the way the story ends, I don’t think it’s particularly helpful to show how she’s going to destroy destroy the school and town immediately after she goes to school for the first time

150

All the changes that were made to the newest version of Carrie kind of just make it seem like they weren't interested in the things Carrie was about

One of the Scooby-Doo movies is getting released on blu-ray with an audio commentary by Rocco Botte

Being art direction on a film is interesting because every time I see anything I think “hmm, can I use that for something”

But there is a scene where the main couple is having sex, the dog peeps on them through the keyhole, starts barking, and then the guy gets so turned off that they stop. Not many people would think of a scene like this

Watching a movie that's basically a remake of White Dog, but they removed all the stuff about race so it's not about much

Ed Wood movies are still being discovered. In 2022 there was a film that people on the production revealed was actually directed by Wood after 45 years. There was a feature film he did that wasn't found until 2017, one he wrote that was found in 2014, and a TV pilot found in 2011

They should have spun it a 4th time

This isn't even all of it. It's gotta be the equivalent of like 5 or 6 pages of text

060

As long as we're talking about weird Wikipedia pages, check out how long the "Legacy" section is on the page for the mostly forgotten Eddie Murphy vehicle Vampire in Brooklyn

For October they should use an Ouija board instead and play the game it spells out

040

Yes, but in another way they followed the wheel even better than normal because they’re gonna play all 3 games

Alfonso Cuaron posted a defense of Digger by posting about movies that were poorly received and later re-evaluated. But how good can Digger be if he didn't do any research or analysis himself and just asked AI to make the post for him

*me seeing the American Museum Of Natural History in any movie* wow, it's the museum from Exorcist II: The Heretic

Just saw a very Dayla looking guy. This time it wasn’t actually Dayla

I wonder if Roger Corman kept up on all the films his former employees made or just the ones who became successful/well-regarded

He was going "actually, magnets are pretty amazing and they were right to say that"

Hearing Matt Farley defend Insane Clown Posse. Great stuff

Jake chastised me for buying blu-rays of movies I think are just okay or outright bad solely because they're out-of-print, due to the fact that I'll inevitably try to get him to watch them down the line

YouTube video by The Beatles - Topic

Imagine writing this song and then going "this isn't good enough to go on any of my albums"

Goodbye (Home Demo)

Also, the music he was making after getting married was like, Abbey Road, Maybe I'm Amazed, and RAM

030

Receiving word about an article in Variety that says the negative reception of Taylor Swift's music post-marriage is comparable to negative reception of Paul McCartney's music post-marriage. I guess, but the reaction to McCartney's music had more to do with getting blamed for breaking up the Beatles

Do you think there's gonna be a 4k release of Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2? Should I hold off on the blu-ray
