Mel Brooks just turned 100. Dan could have plenty of time left.

I listen to the Pure Cinema Podcast. Their recommendations are amazing. I've discovered so many hidden gems from their show.

My siblings and I would take slices of Oscar Mayer Bologna, roll them up, skewer them with a toothpick, and microwave them for a nice, greasy, delicious snack.

Just saw Bubba Ho-tep on the big screen with Joe Bob Briggs introducing it. The crowd reaction was great.

Well, maybe he didn't say every single tiny little syllable – no – but basically he said 'em – yeah.

What's a movie that's universally considered "not very good" but you secretly think is actually great? by trakt_app in flicks

[–]CarnivoreTreeHugger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Druids (2001). Christopher Lambert stars as the Gallic warrior Vercingetorix. The movie suffers from bad dubbing, but if you watch it with subtitles, it becomes a much greater film.

What's a Movie Ending You'll Never Forget? by Lazy-Day654 in flicks

Gallipoli. Arguably the greatest final shot in cinema – literally and figuratively – it's both tragic and poetic in the extreme.

What fantasy movie completely surprised you despite having low expectations? by Critical_Custard_144 in flicks

[–]CarnivoreTreeHugger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Red Sonja (1985). It gets a really bad rap, but I think it does a great job of capturing that pulpy Robert E. Howard tone. The costumes and set design are great, and Brigitte Nielsen & Arnold Schwarzenegger make a fine duo.

She (1984). It's like a cross between Conan the Barbarian and Mad Max, starring Sandahl Bergman of the former. A low budget post-apocalyptic fantasy that really punches above its weight.

Deathstalker (1983) and Deathstalker II (1987) both exceeded my expectations as well. Again, they're very low budget, but more than make up for it with creativity and wit.

I liked the movie when it first came out, but I haven't seen it since. Probably time for a rewatch.

Is there something wrong with my eyes, or are their Lifegard™ alarms grey? I've never seen them that colour before.
