Now, how funny these Anti-Trump Republicans: loudly talking the same shit we say while quietly expecting us to forget they 100% supported Reagan. Anyone want to compare 1980 America to 1989 America and tell us the problems of the country aren't directly THEIR fault?

This dickhead did not have to make it personal, act like I offended his religion to merely call Gibson a bigot (which he most certainly IS) and the film disrespectful to the audience and their intelligence.
This guy's whole persona is clearly wrapped up in his phony, easily riled Gen X pathetica.
FUCK this YouTuber, just: fuck this guy. What a piece of shit.
I know I know, we have all sorts of experiences on social media interacting with each other, walk away irritated by someone- but I have every right to say my peace (which I did, respectfully) on Mel Gibson's shitty religious movie...
Lynch also stars in 1988's Bad Dreams, with Jennifer Rubin from Nightmare on Elm Street 3 with Bradley Gregg who... *also* stars in Class of 1999!
Class of 1999 *also* stars John P. Ryan from Larry Cohen's It's Alive (1974), Larry Cohen also directed God Told Me To (1976) with Richard Lynch who cameos in Rob Zombie's Halloween!

A twisty, potentially never-ending horror "6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon" 'game' (I may need or make more than 6 connections... we'll see).
Beginning with Debbie Harry & Scream...

All I can think of to say, because my smile is too wide to speak, is: "thank you." To who/m/ever this is. For being exactly who/m/ever they are.

Musical instruments are complex. I guess the cowbell pattern version of the organ notes sound/s better than the organ chords before being cowbell programmed... But Toto guy knew that. Did anyone else know this? (You know what I'm asking, right?)

Watched 2 different YT videos about the BBC/BAFTA slur, one from a white person and one from a black person. I'm embarrassed I ever watched 2 seconds of anything from piece of shit, Vaush.
But, as to be expected, D'Angelo said what I already thought and MUCH more:

I have no idea what he's talking about. But I wish I did.

O. My. Goodness... the bird is dancing.

The 90's absolutely has a lot of duds which are unjustly re-branded as diet-friendly guilty pleasures...
But I have to say my recent (last year?) re-watch of Striptease brought me vastly more delight than my first time watch of The Substance.
Love to death.

I hope Letterboxd's Description section allows me to use about 1,000 links or more in one Description.
I'm making a giant 80's Jukebox. My excuse to hear a bunch of artists' songs I haven't heard yet.
This one I'm pinning as an early favorite.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhBm...
The Player (1992; Robert Altman)
Ha ha! This is actually my 3rd watch. (Yay! I have some taste!) But it's the one where I felt everything I was supposed to, where and when I was supposed to. Didn't help me quite figure the movie out.
I'm over the moon with how they cast Brion James! He's great.
Nashville (1975; Robert Altman)
Yes. Feet drug again. But I've finally seen it now and get to rave about 3 hours which felt unlike time. Unlike being somewhere. 3 hours transfixing me. I was so fascinated by these characters and their experiences, I could barely move. And this is a strange movie.
Desperately Seeking Susan (1985; Susan Seidelman)
Another case of dumb dragging feet- I've owned this blu-ray for maybe 3 years and never watched it.
Rosanna Arquette is utterly magical, Madonna is doing exactly what she does best being herself. This plot is a dream. I had an amazing time.
Batman Forever (1995; Joel Schumacher)
I gushed at tremendous length on Letterboxd over this one.
I saw it multiple times as a teenager and hated it, top to bottom. I wasn't exactly prepared for how damn good it really is. And my goodness was it ever hyped in the 90's.
The. Hype. Is. REAL!
The Goldwyn Follies (1938; George Marshall, H C Potter)
When 2 hours go by but you don't want them to end, you know you're watching something good!
Some of it was corny but I was steadily glued. I laughed real laughs. The musical numbers made me ooh and aah. I didn't want to be anywhere else.
Wayne's World 2 (1993; Stephen Surjik)
The feeling of actual physical pleasure to be sitting and watching an entertaining film, a film that soothed my soul, made me smile unendingly was just about unmatched in 2025 by Wayne's World 2. I was so happy, I think I lapsed into disbelief a few times.
But now that I'm more curious as a horror fan, I can finally see it's pretty good.
I'm still riding the caboose of the fandom. It had a few shortcomings. But it is a solid shock and excitement machine to get the blood flowing.
I just still have an issue with the Alien / Piranha / C.H.U.D. lifts.
