Last Voyage of the Demeter had some crazy logic, even for a horror movie. Spoilers: The ship's crew knows that people only die/get attacked at night. They have seen two people who have been bit burst into flames in the daylight. So their grand plan is to lure Dracula onto the deck of the ship at nig...

Lara Trump, lip filler addict and wife of the dumber Trump sibling, is now co-chair of the RNC. Sounds about right.

Oh neat. She already had pledged to funnel all their money to Trump. The dumpster fire burns hotter.

Hopefully this hurts the GOP in House and Senate races.

Re: Swift/Kelce. This has been all over my FB feed.

Interesting article on Zaslav's "deleting films for the tax write off" strategy.

Two inches in Scumerset.

I don't watch much Prime. Usually just as background noise on the weekends. I did watch a couple episodes of Bosch last week. There were ads at the beginning and then an ad break around the end of the second act - maybe 4 min long. If they handle it like Freevee (not sure if I got that right), it wi...

No more Dolby Vision or Atmos from Amazon Prime until you pay for the "ad free" tier.

I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that Poltergeist and Gremlins were basically the "reason" for why PG 13 became a thing.

Up until then a movie was PG if it didn't contain excessive profanity and gore.

True Detective S4 E5
Okay, this show is just plain bad. By far the worst season of the franchise, and I can't imagine any way the final episode could change that.

Congrats!

My FB feed is flooded with anti-Swift/Kelce comments this morning. It's pretty darned hilarious how the people who call liberals snowflakes freak out over musician and her boyfriend. Top comment so far: Suck it Kelce!!! Take your lil girlfriend and leave the country, like she says she will, WHEN Tru...

Sounds like Streets of Fire would be a good one to throw on after these

I'll have to see if it's streaming anywhere. Right now I'm getting ready to watch Class of 1984. Another one I haven't seen.

The Warriors is amazing. The corniness and the over the top, ridiculous gangs are what makes the movie work so well.

Agreed. They never failed to make me smile. I think the baseball furies were my favorites.

I watched a few classics (or "classics") that somehow slipped by me all these years. The Warriors, Savage Streets, The Outsiders. All pretty good flicks. The Outsides was probably the weakest of the bunch. Coppola's directing did the material (which was admittedly ham-fisted) no favors. Savage Stree...

I've already admitted that the Biden report is worrisome. I also think he's declining. That said, I do see how my father's long battle with brain cancer turned those 8 years into a blur for my mom. Dad's been gone for 4 years now, but she can't remember the order of certain events, like his stroke, ...

Come on, guys, we all know it's Pennsyltucky.

Yep. And Zaslav wants to buy Paramount too. Dark times for movie lovers. Very dark times.

I love my Apple TV.

Also, I’m with CB in that I’d be in favor of Klobuchar running.

I like Klobuchar too. I worry she won't get as much of the Black vote as she needs to win, but I'd certainly vote for her. I still really like Buttigieg, but I feel like he's DOA between being gay and his cabinet position.

Little weird that it’s a big deal all of a sudden. I say this because Trump multiple times hasn’t been able to remember when he was in office or when things happened. He famously said there were airports during the revolutionary war. I don't think it gains Trump any votes, I just worry that it will...

I don't see many people voting for Biden this time around, especially if this report gets legs. They'll vote against Trump or for abortion rights/left-leaning causes, but not for Biden. I really, really worry that the "Biden has Alzheimer's" thing will keep some of those people home. Biden's margin ...

That report is awful. I can't understand why the people who are close to Biden didn't push him to not run for re-election. He could have announced in 2022 that he was only serving 1 term, make it out that his plan all along was to undo the damage caused by Trump, etc. and set up an heir apparent. Th...

Last two episodes of True Detective have not been great. With two episodes left, they have a lot of detectiving to do. Yeah, I'm pretty underwhelmed. It's amazing how season 1 really caught lightning in a bottle and every other season... hasn't. Everything this time around seems forced. The S1 refe...

Congrats, tif - that's really cool!

Idris Elba's Apple TV+ show Hijack is getting a second season. Good show if you haven't watched it yet. Hmm. I guess I'm down if they put him in another situation that's not just a plane. Idk. Trying to think of something with similar stakes. If it's just him on a plane again (or talking to someone...
