That is perfection. Put the rougher ones on the edges and put the craziness in the middle.

I am loath to do this, but I need your help. My 20+ year marriage has unexpectedly imploded. There's a kid involved. Aside from Lupus, Autism and a shitty 2009 Mazda, I have nothing. Things are fairly desperate right now, so if you can help out now in any way at all I'd be really grateful ❤️

What do BLACK DRAGONS and THE AMAZING TRANSPLANT have in common? Every description I read of these two movies gives away the ending as if it happened in the first five minutes of the movie. (Except, oddly enough, that awesome video box description below.)

I've been a Beaudine supporter for ages. (I once pitched a book to a publisher on his filmography.) So, this is a line-up that is very exciting and I never thought I'd see. That APE MAN triple feature might just blow your mind.

Great article, Rob. I mainly knew Rima from those Super Friends appearances. Technically that's mainly how I still know her. But the GREEN MANSIONS movie sounds somewhat intriguing.

Oh no! It's Electric Boogaloo-related, isn't it?

My Aunt Helen, who I haven't seen in years, is passing through town tonight on her way to take a cruise. We were going to meet up for dinner and catch up. I just cancelled dinner. I told her that I'll be watching SNAKE ISLAND instead. She understood.

Our Love
Our Love YouTube video by Krokus - Topic

There's a lot of crazy happening everywhere right now. But I can't stop thinking this... Why does Krokus musically quote the Gentle Giant song "Peel The Paint" at about 3:33 into their song "Our Love?" Krokus fans? Do you know the answer? www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJ8X...

I was reading about the 4K of Tati's PLAYTIME. @criterion.bsky.social A guy took the time to leave the comment. "It's fairly amusing." I laughed. What on Earth made him leave that comment? It helps no one, adds nothing. "PLAYTIME! The amusement level is above average." "PLAYTIME! Reliably amusing."

I don't like making lists of My Favorite movies. There are too many of them and I usually end up lying. If I had to (forced at gunpoint), BREWSTER MCCLOUD would be in the Top Five. R.I.P. Bud Cort. Keep flyin', man. Say Hi to Shelly.

I was familiar with the title but was never really interested in seeing it. Your description of it makes BLOODY SEX the only movie I want to watch. Right now. Immediately.

I am back on T&TVC for another discussion of S1 Gunsmoke. We are halfway through the season... and still talking.

Hey Brian! It's a fun film. Not the best of Blaxploitation/ bikers but definitely with plenty of charms, including an odd story structure. I will get back to you with some older titles I found last year shortly.

What is the salsa-related gathering? And why don't I get invited anywhere? Focus on the first question. The second is rhetorical.

On a semi-related note. film critics who review new releases no longer know how to review comedies. Both this and SPINAL TAP II got mediocre to very lukewarm reviews. For both films, I sat amidst crowds that laughed & laughed & laughed. (Note to critics: That's what comedies do. Elicit laugher.)

Just came back from seeing FACKHAM HALL at the Burbank Mall. It was hilarious. Laugh a minute. Actually, probably more than one a minute. The closest to a ZAZ film I have seen in years. (I have not yet seen the remade NAKED GUN.)
