I don't know how many fellow Meatsacks there are here, but this week Dan Cummins' Timesuck covers "The Curse of The Von Erichs". It's three hours long, it's funny and Andrei Chikatilo makes an appearance.

That looks really good. Now only if they had gotten David Spade to play Sam Spade.

Struggling through The Curse. Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder are so fucking hateable.

I got to attend a Fox Pilot Watch at Notre Dame in mid '96. We were shown two pilots(one for "Party Girl" and one for a show about a casino). We got some swag for attending and I chose a t-shirt that showed every character of The Simpsons. I liked the casino show and didn't like Party Girl, and Party Girl is the one that got a really short run.

If there is a Formal Attire Match the outcome will be a DQ because one of the wrestlers wore white after Labor Day and before Memorial Day.

Yesterday to celebrate Christmas I watched A Christmas Story and the 1938 version of A Christmas Carol. Those were great, what wasn't that good was A Christmas Story 2. I made it fifteen minutes before tapping out. Peter Billingsley should be the only Ralphie.

At the end of a hectic year I find myself being glad that it's almost over. Between health scares with both parents and the ensuing recertification hoops to jump through with my dad it made for a fertile backdrop of alcoholism and snarkiness that almost cost me my job.

Gentleman Jim looks like a mashup of Chuck Norris and Ringo Starr.

ESPN article says he fell and hit his head at home. He was 52.

Damn. And only 58 at that. Fuck cancer.

Watched Fool's Paradise last night. It's a fun little movie that Charlie Day wrote, directed and starred in. Now I want to see a movie about Sir Billy. It's on Hulu.

Getting caught up on Fargo's new season. Jennifer Jason Leigh's accent seems like it will disappear if she's gets really pissed and starts saying "You betcha!"

Before COVID I would see a movie damn near every week. Since then it's really been about streaming. And to be very honest, there haven't really any movies that I've wanted to see in a theater.

The last movie I saw in a theater before COVID was Parasite. Haven't been back since.

I saw House Wall Clock in the theater and loved it. It's probably the most un-Eli Roth movie he's ever done.

Pagans?

I took this as a FAFO challenge and I FAFO and it was severely lacking.

Hard Rock Zombies, this little gem from 1985 has zombies, a rock band and a rock band full of zombies, plus a whole lot more(including a lot of run time padding). It's like a fever dream.

Did a double feature of The Passenger and The Killer. Mid 70s Jack can't be beat. Loved The Killer. A nice slow burn and the use of The Smiths makes it that much better.

Looks like there's bumper to bumper traffic in Geocities.

Reading the thread I just realized I've never seen GB2. Saw the first one in the theater and loved it. Perfect movie to see when you're 14.

Works for me as more people remember Airwolf than they do Blue Thunder(either the movie or the series), but some exec will do a deep dive on Dick Butkus and Bubba Smith Miller Lite commercials and then "rediscover" the Blue Thunder series and green light a reboot.

My money is on either a Hardcastle & McCormick or a Dempsey & Makepeace movie getting made first.

This man gets it!

It's right up there with Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry for an ending you didn't see coming.
