S.K.o.S.

He also alluded to the negative crowd reaction to 3 Peck 0. Felt bad for him, he was in full damage control mode by Sunday. I think some fans needed to relax a little with the booing.

Sandler's in both the newest Jason Reitman and Thomas McCarthy movies. (The McCarthy one is supposed to be bad, though.)

At just about any other indy show he would've been fine. It's just because you're not supposed to swear at Chikara shows. They have a "this is a family-friendly show, please don't swear" announcement at the start of every show. I'd personally give Teddy the benefit of the doubt and assume he just didn't know rather than that he was trying to cause trouble.

Got a traffic ticket a few months back (right before my birthday, actually). The policeman who issued the ticket wrote the wrong year on it - 2013 instead of 2014. People told me to show up in court and fight it or whatever, but that seemed like a lot of effort, and you can just pay it online, so I paid it. They refunded my payment today.

We have a mini horror/sci-fi festival up here in October, and they've announced the first 10 movies. I have a good idea of what to expect from three of them: ABCs of Death 2, The Babadook and Dead Snow 2. Has anyone heard anything good or bad about any of the following other seven?

Forgot to mention that Teddy Hart was in attendance for Night 3. He brought his cat. He also tried to start a "holy shit" chant during the Shynron match.

Okay... night 3:

Looks like we're gonna need another Timmy!

A thousand times yes

In the spoiler.

Will do.

Absolutely nothing changes from last week. -MJ- becomes the first person to win this whole thing twice, and everyone down to The Natural at #6 gets a prize. I'll start sending out PMs to get addresses after this weekend.

Final update will be late because I'm travelling to and attending King of Trios today. I'll try to get it posted before I go to sleep tonight.

Now I'm wondering how many movies there are where the sequel was in a different language than the original. Can't think of any others. edit: Upon further review... Dead Snow was definitely in Norwegian; Wiki lists Dead Snow 2 as being in Norwegian and English, and looking at that hospital bit in the trailer more carefully, I think the English dialogue in that part is an overdub. But yeah, all horror fans should watch the original.

The director actually has a new third doc at this year's TIFF called "Electric Boogaloo: The Wild Untold Story of Cannon Films."

The Giver/Expendables 3 Rotten Tomatoes tie did not stay that way.

I don't think I've seen any docs that absolutely hit it out of the park this year (straining to remember - we have a documentary film festival up here, I saw like four or five during that, but can only remember two. They can't have been that great if I can't remember them, I guess). Anyway, this one was a pretty good time.

We also did that 5 Challenges one that involved Michael Haneke I remember no other details other than I did not like it The Five Obstructions, yeah. And it was Lars Von Trier, not Haneke. That was my pick. I don't remember anyone liking it as much as me but there was a decent amount of discussion on it.

Sunshine Superman is getting a lot of attention at TIFF. A documentary about base jumping, with lots of first-person shots - people wearing cameras on their helmets while base jumping. Not something I'd personally be able to watch in a theatre. I don't think there's a trailer (no one's picked it up for distribution yet), but here's a review: http://www.indiewire.com/article/toronto-review-sunshine-superman-is-one-of-the-best-us-docs-of-the-year-20140906

From the rules: This rule has never actually come into play before, but as of this morning, Expendables 3 and The Giver are tied with 33.3333...% on Rotten Tomatoes. We'll see if it stays that way.

I guess this should be considered as unconfirmed, but Scotty Riggs tweeted about 15 minutes ago that he's been told Sean O'Haire passed away. http://twitter.com/realscottyriggs/status/509512052126126080

My library finally came through on one of these. Got a copy.
