The repeated gags in Hundreds of Beavers work because they build on each other so well. One of the most enjoyable things I watched last year

C's get degrees

Seconding The Last Boy Scout, that movie kicks all kinds of ass. I also love The Hunger, otherwise I'm low voter on a lot of Tony Scott's output

He ain't been that great this year

I came in expecting to cheer for the Lions, because I hate Washington more than any other team, but once the game started my NFC North brain kicked in and I couldn't do it. As a Packers fan, I fucking hate the Vikings and fucking hate the Bears but I've always have had a soft spot for the Lions. Barry Sanders is still the best player I've ever watched and they always been seemed like the kid brother of the division. Every time they've managed to have a decent season, my reaction has always been good for them, they've earned it. Even this year, when it became clear that the Packers ceiling was making the playoffs, I figured it would be cool if they won the Super Bowl after all the years of being an after thought. But then the game started and my brain just switched. So good job Washington, congratulations, but I do hope you get absolutely slaughtered in the next game

They have enough weapons that 3 touchdowns is not insurmountable but it is always enjoyable to watch the Vikings get dogwalked

She was my most watched actor last year. Standouts for me were The Ghost, An Angel for Satan, The She Beast, and Caged Heat

About fucking time, Curt

There's always Downton Abbey. The first 2 seasons are good, especially the second season which occurs during WW1. After that it is diminishing returns, but Dan Stevens left during the third anyway.

Hopefully he's allowed to go to the bathroom, unlike poor Jack Bauer

You read his autobiography and are only 80% convinced? I love Kinski, he's probably my favourite actor, but the dude was a monster. I love his auto because he so clearly hated movies. He didn't spend more than a sentence on most of them. The only films he spent any time on where the Herzog ones and that was mostly just to call him a filthy, talentless hack

I also just watched Late Night with the Devil. I thought it was okay, but History of the Occult takes a similar subject and set up (80s newsmagazine show, rather than 70s talk show) and does a lot more with it.

Was relatively restrained but still bought a few off both Severin and Vinegar Syndrome's sales. From Severin: The Shadowed Mind, The Female Executioner, Night Killer, Macumba Sexual From Vinegar Syndrome: Nightmare Sisters, Punk Vacation, Pale Blood

I just watched that a week ago, really great. Martin Landau playing a Mexican person is very very strange. Ran out of steam with the super long flashback, but otherwise a great, gritty, mean Western. Some cool gothic touches with Stella Stevens' character

The Colour Purple remake was also cagey about being a musical. Seconding the Rocketman love. That movie kicked the Queen movie's ass in 17 different ways.

According to the director, he purposely made the movie less colourful than the Wizard of Oz because he wanted it to be "realistic." Because when you're making a movie about the fantastical land of Oz, realism is what you should be going for. I fucking hate this era of filmmaking, that equates muted colours and flat lighting with realism. God forbid we have a fucking shadow on the screen. Anyway, sorry, that's my soapbox

Mirror Mirror is so fucking good. And Rainbow Harvest should have gotten more roles

Spookies is interesting because its basically two movies. The first movie is about a group of people in a haunted house with some cool creature effects. The second movie was from after the producer decided to take it over and filmed a whole subplot with a wizard dude trying to use magic to reanimate his dead wife, directed by someone completely different. It is only barely grafted onto the original story and the effects in that section are notably worse (the original filmmakers came from an FX background). It's still a lot of fun, especially the house stuff (from when the movie was originally going to be called Twisted Souls), but is mostly an interesting curiosity

As in Headstones lead singer/Hard Core Logo Hugh Dillon? Interesting

Ideal ending to a Packers/Bears game. More satisfying than a blow out would have been

The awesome desiccated corpse effects?

Yeah, sorry, I meant players using the Jays as leverage. I'm very tired

I would teams would stop using the Jays as leverage, none of these dudes are ever gonna sign there

Eaten Alive and Cannibal Apocalypse are legitimately good movies, though Apocalypse owes more to zombie movies than cannibal movies, imo. Eaten Alive has the most interesting setting for a cannibal boom movie, in a Jonestown-esque encampment.
