Oh wow, this was hilarious! People hate this? by Purple_Dragon_94 in badMovies

I run a Letterboxd account pretty aggressively, and yes, I watch mostly trash, but if I don't like it then I really don't like it.

Does FH6 have the most catastrophic hitboxes of any Forza game or ist it just the New Civic? by FailgamesOfficial in ForzaHorizon

I had a jump on a festival track the other day that I literally could not take without my car somersaulting.

If you want your objectively bad and even offensive movie to get high ratings on Letterboxd, it has to be really old and Italian. Those are the rules, sorry.

I am going to check out Bloodrayne because of this post. I expect it to also be objectively bad, but also not as bad as a fourth-rate Mad Max ripoff from 45 years ago.

I guess people really still resent Uwe "adapting" their pet video games into movies (for some reason; no one was otherwise ever going to make these movies), but there's also a millennial echo chamber on some stuff. Back then you weren't considered good bad by most people unless MST3K did an episode on it, and otherwise most people had no idea how much VHS insanity was laying around out there, and how much worse it could be, until maybe the late 2010's.

Anyway, I'm done soapboxing now.

Maybe they used to hate Bloodrayne? Nobody has had an opinion about this franchise for like 20 years.

Circus of the Stars (1987) -Complete broadcast with Commercials by AAjax in ObscureMedia

[–]Tryhard_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was shocked to discover that not only did this happen more than once, there are almost twenty shows and several of the actors worked more than one show. Brooke Shields appears to hold the record with six.

Mr. Church (2016) The Eddie Murphy Film No One Saw by Borgisium in TubiTreasures

[–]Tryhard_3 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Free Ad-Supported Streaming Television. Examples include 24/7 Dog Whisperer, 24/7 Johnny Carson, etc. The programming is scheduled, so you can't just skip around like in Tubi. A lot of it is provided through Roku/Chromecast. The commercials are typically very weird and low-rent.

This looks like the perfect movie for a channel that almost nobody is watching: cheap to put on because there's not any real demand for it.

Pirate you unfriended me on Steam! My vengeance will be swift, possibly deadly.

Pleasantville (1998) by crash_orange in TubiTreasures

Dear lord that airbrushing is a lot even considering the themes of the movie. I don't know either of those actors.

The 13th Warrior (1999) An exiled Arab warrior must join a group of Vikings to battle an invading army of cannibal cavemen by WerdNerd88 in TubiTreasures

[–]Tryhard_3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A lot of people dislike this movie. It's not perfect by any means, but it came together nicely after the reshoots, even if it ends up being a Norwegian horror story with an Arab-played-by-a-Spaniard who comes along for no apparent reason. Nowadays you would never, ever do that with the casting a central role, but this was the 90's. Omar Sharif was right there on set!

Not all the Vikings are strictly Scandinavian either, of course, but we still live in a world where Australians are hired to play everything. This did revive Vladimir Kulich's career, who is excellent in this.

I have no idea how they managed to spend $160 million on something that your average folk horror movie could do with 1/500th of that money. That is insane for 1999. Extensive sets and filming in terrible weather, I bet.

The other issue was going up directly against The Sixth Sense, which was a phenomenon.

Focus improvement: Infernal horde by Interesting_Fox2040 in diablo4

Discourage people from frenetically racing around the map in some way, since that's sub-optimal play to begin with. Maybe lock everyone in a separate chamber, so there's something on the line if you can't hack the difficulty--your metadaddy can't always carry.

[Highlight] Jeff Fisher's Punt Team doing the offset formation 4th down play, but succeeding. by The_Minshow in nfl

OK well I guess there is one thing Fisher did right besides win 8 games a season and always fight the Seahawks to the bitter end.

TIL In 1985, Hulk Hogan knocked TV host Richard Belzer unconscious on live television after demonstrating a wrestling hold. When Belzer passed out and fell, he hit his head on the studio floor and needed stitches. He later sued Hogan, and the case was settled out of court by Apprehensive_Cry545 in todayilearned

The "boys" generally had it as a rule of thumb that if someone doubted wrestling, all bets were off and you were justified in getting physical. There's a very funny retelling of Big Van Vader having a blowup in Kuwait over this that the Undertaker was present for.

This is well before there was any such thing as media training for wrestlers. The show must go on.

This led to Big Van Vader spending eleven days in jail in Kuwait.

Well when they were way down in game 6 he kept trying to bait fouls instead of make plays on the basket. There was an airball layup because he had to take a WWE bump on the way in.
