A place to describe things you've been watching when you should probably have been watching other things. Like the gloriously sleazy Filipino wonder below:  That guy shown on the box cover is one of the lousiest actors I've ever seen. This of course only served to enhance my enjoyment of the film as a whole. |

Holy shit. That came out huge (see image in post above). I'll probably get around to shrinking it sometime later. Can't be bothered with it right now.

Been on a Disney kick lately:
Who Framed Roger Rabbit- The special effects in this hold up really well for a thirty year old movie.
Bedknobs and Broomsticks- much much better than Mary Poppins.
and from this century: finally saw Frozen and Big Hero 6.

Thoughts on "Frozen"? I feel like the only person in the country who wasn't bowled over by it.

I recently rewatched Mystics In Bali. It's just as bonkers as I remember it.

Is that the one with the Penangalan (disembodied woman's head with intestines dangling behind it) flying around attacking people at night?

Yup, sure is. And transformations into pig people and snake people, and a full contact magic fight at the end, including brother ex machina.

Thoughts on "Frozen"? I feel like the only person in the country who wasn't bowled over by it. I liked it, I still prefer Tangled, but I though Frozen was good. I think waiting till the furor died down helped me like it more. Olaf wasn't nearly as odious as I expected him to be. |

We've talked about homophilic flicks like "Nightmare on Elm St. 2" before, but last night I watched one of the more phobic ones with the twisted, plot-holes galore idiocy that is "Hide and Go Shriek". Not much to recommend here, but there were a handful of decent scare scenes and some flesh on display.  |

Burn After Reading One of the lessor Coen Brothers films. Still hilarious. I don't think George Clooney gets enough credit for his comedic skills.

Rattlers- Actually fairly watchable Harry Novak-produced thriller about a swarm of actively hostile rattlesnakes that periodically shits itself with scenes of utterly moronic misogyny. (As opposed to the thoughtful intellectual kind, I suppose.)
Deadly Friend- Revisited this Wes Craven piece for the first time in a long time. Think I first saw it in the theater. And despite having watched it a small but fair number of times in yesteryear, I didn't remember it nearly as well as some of the other flicks from that era. Not surprisingly, the most memorable bit remains the old basketball to the head. The early scenes in which the robot can be heard constantly burbling away in the background count as a small entertainment. |

I almost want to go "Full Billy" and try to find out what the damn thing is actually saying, even if I have to replay the scenes a dozen times each. |

I loved every scene of Kristy Swanson as robo-zombie during the last half, too.  Did I mention that she's going to be at Pensacon 2018? :) |

Watched Andy Griffith and Patricia Neal in the excellent (and timely) "A Face in the Crowd" (1957) last night.  That's a young Walter Matthau in the attachment above. |

Finally watched 1980's The Boogeyman today. Man, that's a strange film. Like, it's super duper cheap and indie, but the lighting and camera work are really on point. Also, the first half seems to be building up to the traumatized mute brother becoming a psycho killer, but nope, GHOST MIRROR halfway through the film!!

Last night, I went online with my laptop, and got The Crawling Eye for free.
Then, I went to my desktop PC, and put on that squeezed in DVD into the player that mashes down the squeezed in image into the proper letterboxed aspect ratio.
So, I watched the film both online and on the DVD player on my desktop PC at the same time.
The net version really did have a significant amount of missing picture on the sides, with the DVD player giving a much better picture.
I just wish I could remember what I did long ago to mash the picture down on my relatively large old fashioned CRT (cathode ray tube, remember that thread on the old ZAQB?) tube TV set.
I did an extensive net search and came up with some stuff related to the adjustments I need to make to accomplish what i want to do.
Sometimes i just wonder if my memory of mashing down the picture on that TV set could have been on another TV set.
Oh well, I'm not going to give up on getting what I want, but that's enough for this post.
