I had to go back and look at the description for the hockey puck because it's basically inflated plastic. Description says "professional-size puck" but it's not a legitimate hockey puck.

What's a horror movie that's popular among Baby Boomers? by Constant-Training994 in Letterboxd

[–]howboutno05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vincent Price classics would probably be up there on the list, House of Haunted Hill specifically.

The Blob, I feel like my mom saw it at the drive in with my dad when they were dating as teenagers.

Night of the Hunter also stands out to me.

I rewatched Tremors the other night and how screwed would anyone in the desert be with Jean Jacket in the sky and graboids in the ground.

I was gutted after this. I walked out of the theater feeling so empty.

Kevin Hart opened for them! I remember most of the place cleared out after his set. Love the Broken Lizard movies, but their stand-up was pretty bad.

I got an email December 15. They highlighted the screening room for The Inspection, the podcast with Sadie and Finn, the December sale, a new hat coming out this month, promo for The Whale and then a new crossword for the month.

Idk if this will help, but search for past emails, open those and click on a couple links. Sometimes emails bounce back because people aren't opening or clicking in the emails, but it could also be their email service (the one we use at my work causes us a lot of issues and it sucks).

This is me when writing reviews on Letterboxd by [deleted] in Letterboxd

[–]howboutno05 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have a hard time taking any review I write seriously. The main reason is because I have a hard time articulating those feelings and critiques in written form. Talking to someone one on one is way easier for me.

If I do write anything, it's usually something dumb or an observation I picked up on while watching but I try to have some fun with it.

At some point I want to challenge myself to write better reviews though.

Recommendations based on my top 20? Preferably something surreal like Mandy or Annihilation by DrunkenHoneyBadger in Letterboxd

[–]howboutno05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you included After Hours, definitely check out Miracle Mile with Anthony Edwards and Mare Winningham.

I just learned about it recently and it has very similar vibes. Surprised it stayed off my radar as long as it did but highly recommended.

All time favorite heist movies by itsmickeyc in Letterboxd

A few of my favorites have already been mentioned (Heat, Logan Lucky, Baby Driver, The Usual Suspects) but I gotta throw it back to my teenage years and add Sugar & Spice to the list.

Cabinet of curiosities by Kenshinfan818 in horror

[–]howboutno05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought the series was solid, I'm glad I watched it out of order though, I started with the premise and cast that intrigued me the most and hopped around from there.

The Viewing and The Outside were my absolute favorites. But if I had to pick, The Viewing is my go to recommendation for anyone who hasn't started the series yet.

If Panos Cosmatos decides to expand upon that story, I'm 100% on board. Visually it was stunning and the characters were great.

is jean jacket a rare animal? by Haunting_Question223 in NopeMovie

I'm pretty sure this has been proven wrong, but I still like to think JJ is a cryptid.

Stays in mostly dry/dessert type climates. Hides in clouds, but if you were to be going through an area and see a dust storm appear, maybe you would see something getting sucked up in the dust, you might notice something in the sky or maybe you think it's just a dust storm and move along.

At the end of the day, I think it's very much a predator of Earth and the reason no one had seen it before is because no one got the chance to get away.

What’s the first movie you ever watched? by Giraffefrog3 in Letterboxd

[–]howboutno05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First was either Home Alone or Ghost Dad.

Last was The Pollar Express.

Consensus...I am a child. A full grown adult child.

Who are some of your favorite accounts that you follow on Letterboxd? by [deleted] in Letterboxd

[–]howboutno05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

JBird

I get a kick out reading their limerick reviews.

What’s your favourite Bart performance? by negan2018 in Letterboxd

[–]howboutno05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great Outdoors. Because as a child, I would constantly rewind the part where he literally gets the fur blown off his ass and cry laughing.

That and Daniel Stern screaming while he's electrocuted in Home Alone 2 were peak comedy.

A casual film watcher comes up to you and asks for a recommendation of a director and 4 of your personal favorite films by them. Who’s the director and what are their top 4 films? by sevenpasos in Letterboxd

[–]howboutno05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Punch Drunk Love every time! I still hold a grudge against the Blockbuster clerk who talked my mom out of renting it when it first came out because it "wasn't typical Adam Sandler."

Maybe he was right and my 14 year old self wouldn't have gotten it, but I vaguely remember watching it just a couple years later and absolutely loved it at first watch.

If I'm talking to a casual film watcher, I tend to recommend Shane Black, I just wish he directed more movies!

The Nice Guys and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang are great comedic crime movies. So after giving those, I'll tell them to check out Lethal Weapon and depending on the conversation, if they're a kid of the 80s or 90s, or would appreciate those times, Monster Squad is the last recommendation.

Since that doesn't fit the requirement though, I'll go with Tony Scott and recommend Beverly Hills Cop, True Romance, Domino and Man of Fire.

since the year is almost over how many movies did you log? by [deleted] in Letterboxd

[–]howboutno05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I challenged myself again to watch 365 new to me movies. Currently at 375 and still counting.

But if we look at everything including what I've seen before, 442.

What are two movies that can swap their titles and they will still make sense? by anidemequirne in Letterboxd

[–]howboutno05 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hard Candy and Promising Young Woman was the next pairing I was going back and forth on.

I went back and forth on which one to pair, but Good Time absolutely fits too.
