What are we watching now?

[Spaced Out Ace]

The problem is Loomis wasn't a heel. Until Rob Zombie came along and also decided Michael needed a backstory

You haven't watched 5, have you? Tell me you haven't watched Halloween 5 without telling me you absolutely have not watched Halloween 5.

Besides that, I didn't say that Loomis was a heel in John Carpenter's version. Furthermore, his paranoia ends up getting Ben Tramer killed and commandeered (essentially kidnapped) a police officer in 2.

I've watched Halloween 5 a number of times.

I highly doubt it.

I don't over-intellectualize slasher films from 35 years ago.

Dude, if you make a shirt with that text, I'll fucking wear it every day. Fuck that. I'm getting that as a tattoo.

Started this movie the other night and finished just now. A summary on Beethoven's final days with flashbacks to his early life. Interesting and well done, and it's in German with English subtitles.

We watched The Secret of My Success recently. I can't believe neither my wife nor I had seen it growing up! It really drive home how great Michael J Fox is. What a unique and cool dude. I loved how he had a slapstick flair in that movie!

The new Series 6 of Brassic

 

[TSJMajesty]

What am I watching, at 3 in the morning...? Butt-cheek clenching, TOWER CLIMBING VIDEOS!! WTF?

 

[TSJMajesty]

In beginning of Trial of Tears, it just proves Petrucci can't go more than 3 minutes w/o cutting loose.

We've been binge-watching Barry lately. Bill Hader and Henry Winkler are so good in this.

Winkler's role gets funnier if you think his Gene Cousineau character in Barry is a past or future version of Barry Zuckercorn in Arrested Development.

 

[Spaced Out Ace]

Silver Bullet

 

[norminal]

Watching The Lincoln Lawyer (the series). I’m quite surprised how decent it is. It’s definitely been binge-worthy.

Watched Salem's Lot (seemingly 15th?) remake on MAX last night. Was something in front of my eyeballs but that was about it. Mainly shocked at how bad Alfre Woodard was more than anything?

I think I'll stick to the original. The part with Boom Boom Bonnie getting caught was fucking great. Plus, the kid hovering outside the bedroom window is pretty iconic in horror. I'm willing to bet this remake either goes far too over the top or is just checking shit off and smeared in that godawful horror filter.

Probably a safe bet. It's weird. Individual pieces of this were good. The hovering kid was actually fairly creepy in this one and visually done well. As well as the method of expelling of the vampires. And the actor who played Barlow did great. Matt Burke actor was great as well.

But the overall vibe and almost afterschool special style of storyline just didn't grab me. I did see there was a version back in the early 2000s with Rutger Hauer and Andre Braugher and I might give that one a go as I've never seen it? I saw you were watching Silver Bullet up top and I prefer that greatly as far as King takes on classic monster stuff.

You should get Cycle of the Werewolf if you haven't picked it up yet. It's great. Very different from his usual books. I like some of King's writing, but after a certain point, his books are mostly awful. Regardless, after a few of them, he got very verbose and my mom has always joked that he got paid by the word.

He needs to have his publisher's go, "Okay, skip this section (box around particular section) if you do not give a fuck about the history of a bar rag."

It was a graphic novel, right? IIRC, I read it decades ago and remember loving it. I read the heck out of King when I was a kid as he came up on the scene basically as I came of age. I have a LOT of nostalgia for his stuff, even when it's some of the most over-done writing ever. Every once in a while I will pick up something from his modern era and I feel like he has gotten better at it? My consumption of books has been terrible since becoming an adult

My girlfriend and I go to the book store weekly, so I can't relate. In fact, I ordered the autobiographies of Nick Menza, David Ellefson, Frank Bello, Scott Ian, and Yngwie Malmsteen, plus I awaiting Marty Friedman's book in December. Once I have Marty's book in December, I will have the autobiographies of all four members of the RIP-Cryptic Writings lineup.
