My guess is "The Thing" is Rich's #1 but I think it will be Jay's #2 and he'll go with "Halloween" as #1. (But I'm probably wrong with this prediction given I never even remotely thought both would have "Starman" in their top 6. Starman?!??)

2021-10-12 17:47:05 +0000 UTCHow funny was it that Rich gestured for a link in the top corner to the ReView of "In The Mouth of Madness", but was denied by editor Mike (I presume)? Very much, and it was intentional.

2021-10-11 16:22:54 +0000 UTCI was still hoping for "Escape from Earth" around 2011... :/

2021-10-10 16:47:21 +0000 UTCI love the bit where they praise the final scene of "Escape from L.A." It's not enough to redeem the cheesy awfulness of most of the movie, but that scene is a great ending for Snake Plissken.

2021-10-10 14:01:46 +0000 UTCWaiting for part 3….to quote Willy Wonka and Oscar Wilde: the suspense is terrible. I hope it will last!

2021-10-09 22:37:11 +0000 UTCI love Rich cause he just has all these opinions and he just shares them with the world all willy nilly

2021-10-09 20:35:22 +0000 UTCRich probably has Big Trouble in Little China as his #1, but The Thing has that scene of Wilford Brimley trashing a room, which is right up Rich's alley, so maybe he'll switch at the last moment. The suspense is killing me.

2021-10-09 15:05:05 +0000 UTCContinued in Part Threeeeeee The novel “Memoirs of an Invisible Man” is quite a bit different than the movie.

2021-10-09 07:58:48 +0000 UTC"I don't know that I can buy Amber Heard being a horrible monster." Someone give Rich an award. He said that with a straight face.

2021-10-09 06:52:09 +0000 UTCSo The Thing, Big Trouble In Little China and They Live are definitely in both of their top 5s. But which one will take the cake? I'm gonna make a guess and say that The Thing is gonna be their both #1s as it fits each of their preferences (Sci-Fi for Rich and Horror for Jay).

2021-10-09 04:34:48 +0000 UTCOnly 30 minutes long??? Release the Stoklasa cut! Actually that might be shorter... The Bauman cut?

2021-10-08 19:33:41 +0000 UTCThere's something cheesy about Vampires, James Woods' lines and their delivery especially. And I like that. But the main reason to watch Vampires was Sheryl Lee. Thanks to re:View I watched Fire Walk With Me, then binge-watched the whole series, and her performance and screen presence made me curious. Most actors kind of look the same in every movie, but Sheryl Lee looks different in almost every scene. It's hard to describe, but perhaps egolessness is the right word. She seems to be in tune with the vision of the director, and lets herself completely go to become the vision. See her poem to Laura Palmer http://www.dugpa.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2285 Or watch Laura Dern in Inland Empire. One of the few movies I'm looking forward to being availabe is Never My Love https://nevermy.love/ Grace Zabriskie is also in the movie.

2021-10-08 12:06:12 +0000 UTCYou can’t do this right before work on a Friday. Some of us hacks have real jobs. Now I’m going to have to have an unproductive work day while I wait to watch. I’m going to send my boss your email.
