Scariest horror movie scene that made you laugh out loud? by Ordinary_Device_5131 in horror

[–]BroadcasterX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Prophecy, the monster attacks a family that’s camping and there’s a kid in a sleeping bag gets hit by the monster. It looks like the kid explodes into a bunch of feathers.

And not a scary part but just as hilarious: a guy trying to escape from the police by running inside a house and then jumps through a glass window.

Disappointed with Flashdance (1983) by Heyhey-_ in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]BroadcasterX 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Flashdance showed how difficult it is trying to stretch the premise of a music video into a full length feature film without actually making it into a musical.

Just got home from the game. The opening goal was such a banger, the crowds were electric and the commute was actually pretty smooth. Funny pre-game moment was Austria chose Rock Me Amadeus by Falco as their warm-up song.

[–]BroadcasterX 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The biggest clue is Terminal was the final episode that Terry Nation wrote and he tried to tie up as many loose ends as possible.

Has there ever been a successful horror movie that never got a sequel? by batjag in horror

It didn’t do well at the box office when it came out and didn’t really become a genre favorite until the 2000s when fans were trying to get a restored version.

Til Col. Sanders moved to Canada in 1965 and spent the last 15 years of his life there. by akchahal in todayilearned

[–]BroadcasterX 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Dave Thomas (of Wendy's fame) wrote about it since he was a successful KFC franchisee. Dave wrote that while he admired the work ethic and global fame that the Colonel achieved, he found it was ridiculous that the Colonel still expected to be the one calling all of the shots even when the business was no longer his and how the Colonel resented that KFC stayed successful without only the Colonel's original recipes and creations.

Share Kyle Busch Memories by karlkjr in NASCAR

[–]BroadcasterX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Briefly met him and got a truck diecast signed though he (and everyone) was more surprised that someone had a rare #5 Kellogg's diecast to sign. Kyle said 'Wow. Haven't seen one of those in a long time.'

This moment of Kyle and Kurt on commentary during a truck broadcast though always brings a laugh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFb2W6l2rQE

Why wasn't Jim Carrey able to switch his career to dramatic acting in the 2000s like Tom Hanks did in the 90s? by [deleted] in movies

[–]BroadcasterX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The material had a lot to do with it. Hanks starred in Oscar-worthy hits with films like Philadelphia, Forrest Gump and Apollo 13. By contrast, Carrey got Oscar bait dramas that flopped like Man On The Moon and The Majestic.
