    Oh wow, that's actually a pretty good idea and interesting. Too bad it doesn't seem like they explored it at all.

    Yeah I think we're the same age, born in 80. Sophomore year of high school would have probably put it about the right time.

    Robert Jackson Bennett

    Yeah the guys really creative, and he writes pretty decent dialogue and compelling characters, but it almost kind of seems like a Stephen King deal where his original novels were the best and then you just kind of tapers off. I don't know. I just haven't read any of his newest stuff. There is...

    Address remember there being just as underlying sense of dread throughout the entire film, and the ending obviously is pretty frightening the first time you see it. Number one most horror movies back then used to end that type of way, I'm sure you know what I mean, don't want to spoil it for...

    Sorry I guess the thread fell off my radar. I never read that series, so it could be a roll of the dice. I guess check them out and see if it's worth it, and if it's good I might go ahead and pick them up.

    Robert Jackson Bennett

    Yeah it's such a shame because he has really good ideas, but it seems like after a company man every protagonist is empowered female. I'm sorry even if it's ridiculously well written it's not my cup of tea. I gave it a shot considering his previous pedigree, but I don't remember a goddamn...

    Hah, you're the only person I've ever seen mention Tigerland. I think that's the first movie I ever saw him in and it was a HBO original or something. Pretty sure I watched it back when I was in high school. Good movie. He really has become a phenomenal actor. There's a show out there I...

    Yeah, the first two poltergeists are pretty scary if you're young. I know the clown scene in the first one was the scene my stepmom always said creeped her out even when she was older. Was talking with a neighbor about this topic yesterday, and he brought up the 70s remake of Invasion of the...

    Maybe not serious, but at least a hell of a lot more entertaining, but I think we agree with each other.

    Hah, same thing, I went to a private Catholic school when I grew up in New Orleans. It's no different than someone, somehow getting a hold of an old Playboy and sharing it with everybody. That's what you did when you were a kid, most people didn't turn out to be a weirdo.

    They actually filmed swamp thing on wadmala island up there in Charleston. Guy who taught me most of what I know about construction always talked about it. Adrienne barbeau and her amazing rack it's still legendary. No wonder you watched it all the time as a kid. You're a little bit older...

    Yeah, as a kid you would watch the same favorite movie of yours for a couple of months at least. The Last Starfighter, Space Hunter, Mad Max, RoboCop, Predator, any of the classics. I get used to be Saturday night a new movie always came out, and then it would run for at least 4 to 8 weeks...

    I think a lot of that lag had to do with movies still having the ability to reshow it in the theaters and such, and HBO was a relatively new thing at the time, so I'm guessing they were rights and different hoops to jump through before it could be aired. I honestly be interested in the...

    Alien I believe was 78 or 79. I guess if it popped up on HBO it would be what maybe a year year and a half later, because I think there was quite a bit more lag back then.

    I know that's what the red letter media guys keep talking about specifically with the Blumhouse business model. I guess it's also easy to have just a house with three or four actors and come up with some sort of story concept, shoot it over the span of a couple of weeks for a maybe a million...

    I want to say I was in third grade when I saw Alien. So how old are you at that time, seven or eight?

    The video store we had by my dad's used to be if you got a new release film, you could pick out a free old inventory movie. Latest and greatest video. They had two locations here in Houston and it was family owned. The dad who owned it and all of his family worked there was a super nice guy...

    Haha, go back a couple of pages and get to the root of this whole conversation or derail. @Chukzombi and I pretty much talked about all of the movies you're mentioning. With that being said, Alien is still probably the most scary movie experience I ever had as a kid.

    Had to go back and rewatch that one. Probably still pretty fun movie. I vaguely remember being in middle school or something spending the night at a buddy's house and there was some sort of nightmare on elm Street Marathon around Halloween, and his parents ordered pizza and him his little...

    Haha, you're right, he did blast the wheelchair didn't he, and it was pretty cheesy that Freddy just runs up and stabs him. Sorry it's been a long time since I saw it. There's also that kid who was up horn dog with the nurse or whatever whatever. I don't remember the kids name that was the...

    Dude the d&d nerd was The wizard master and Freddy's magical wheelchair killed him. It's another guy who got led like a puppet to fall off the building. God damn you, thought you knew your shit my man. For shame... Part two is pretty gay though. Part 3 is a really good movie and that's...

    Yeah that's the seen I mentioned the other day. I remember seeing it for the first time and it just looks so surreal, it's pretty damn creepy as a kid. I still think the first one's the only scary one.

    My nephew loves them. He's a picky eater but it's one of the things he's eaten since he was a little kid, and loves them. I just remember since I was little it was something my mom always fed us, and when she was being lazy and we needed to have a vegetable, she would just quarter one up and...

    I hear you. At least the last movie didn't have to cover any of that, and it was just a good Batman movie. I kind of like the Zack Snyder Ben Affleck Batman stuff too. And have to cover any of the other BS. I don't have high hopes, but it'd be nice to get thrown a bone every now and then...

    That sucks, I know some people say they just taste the bitter to them, kind of the same deal with cilantro tasting like dish soap. Great way to use them though. Man, I hope we have a lot of cucumbers on the way. I've always liked them since I was a kid, probably one of my favorite...

    It's just a weird depth of field maybe from the lenses they're using. Could be some post-production effect, and I think there's stuff out there that allows you to get Boca, for that blurry background, but typically it's all across the background when you've got a subject in the foreground, not...

    Thought this was interesting. Been enjoying a lot from these guys. It's no BS professional chef tips and tricks. Kind of wish he would have done triple cooked as a baseline though along with everything since that's the big culinary standard over there.

    I could give two shits about the joker movie, but what's this brave and bold Batman? Is he going to be gay and black? Sorry I don't keep up with the comics or the animated stuff. That is good news though after making another film. Hopefully it'll somehow tie into the penguin series. I...

    Edit: sorry catching up, @Utnayan answered it Are they going to make another DLC, for some reason I thought this was the only one they were going to do? If so that's awesome. I mean it's like why the hell wouldn't you, just a license to print money.

    Now they're white too, and doing white people things. Is this cultural appropriation or acceptance, I don't know, but it smells like progress! Also that artist looks like a total fag. Probably doesn't know how to change the damn tire, or what a level 5 fireball does damage wise.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I was going to try to test it out after my game updated this evening, and jump on my old character just to see if there was a big difference. I just remember it really making some bosses 10 times easier, and harder mobs like the big knights and the capital work pretty much trivialized. Kind...

    Is there any talk of them doing another film with Pattinson, or will he maybe show up in the series? Honestly really enjoyed the last one. Watched it not too long ago for a second viewing, and it was one of the better movies I've seen in a handful of years. I would actually be excited for...

    A Song of Ice and Fire (Released Spoilers)

    And the fact of the matter, I could give to shits. Despite maybe burning whatever manuscripts, notes, or outlines he has, he also burned all the patience, good will and appreciation from fans much earlier. I hope the NY Giants all die in a fiery plane crash, and it just so happens to crash on...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    That's what I was rocking. Made some pretty tough fights a hell of a lot easier. I think they nerfed the stagger damage though, don't believe it's near as good as it was when the game came out.
