It's quick, only 79 minutes. 79 minutes of Lily Tomlin being Lily Tomlin. She is woman, hear her roar! Highly recommend. Glad you saw this and gave it a good review. I have it cued up for next Tuesday and wavered on whether I it would be a good movie or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. I'm not the only missing 1999. I mean she's still pretty but she's not Jessica Alba hot. Edit: Found it Anyway, watching Bad Santa. Googled it to see if I'm the only one who loves it. And what do I see? That looks ****ing horrible. Edited September 9, 2016 by BornaSkinsFan83 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bliz Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) ^ A sequel that was any good anyway... Off the top of my head, longest wait for a good sequel to a successful movie I can think of is terminator. That was like 7-8 years Edited September 9, 2016 by Bliz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornaSkinsFan83 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Was racking my brain trying to think of one and just realized we might have one coming out next week. The Blair Witch sequel (17 years since the original) has major buzz and the reviews have been amazing so far. Including... Quote Some will laud it, others will loathe it, but make no mistake: Blair Witch is that game-changer horror fans desperately have been waiting for. And Quote The idea that a secret sequel could bring a long-stale franchise like this back to life is, frankly, the most surprising thing to happen to horror in ages. I'll def be seeing it if they hold up as more come in. (And I know there was already a Blair Witch 2 (that sucked) but my understanding is that they are going forward like that never existed and that this is the true sequel.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider my curiosity piqued It's kind of a crazy back story to it. There was all this buzz about the director and the new horror movie he was shooting called The Woods. Like MAJOR buzz. Then just a month ago, after three years of buzz, the first audience to see it found out that it was actually a Blair Witch sequel hallway through the screening. They printed up fake The Woods promo material and everything http://www.gamesradar.com/the-woods-is-actually-a-secret-blair-witch-sequel-and-heres-the-first-trailer/ But yeah, I'm not some goth horror freak. I've only read two Stephen King books in my life (Pet Semetary when I was 10 and 11/22/63 a few months ago.) But I swear to God there's nothing better in the theater than a great horror movie. Big budget, CGI action-packed films like Star Wars or Iron Man are great. Beautiful 3D films like Jungle Book are amazing. But you don't get lost in them like you do with good horror. It's just a different experience. I love it so much. I get so hyped whenever one drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRobi21 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) After surviving a stabbing by a student, teacher Trevor Garfield moves from New York to Los Angeles. There, he resumes teaching as a substitute teacher. The education system, where violent bullies control the classrooms and the administration is afraid of lawsuits, slowly drives Garfield mad. To me, one of SLJ's best performances that nobody talks about. Not his usual "Bad M'Fer" characters. Tension builds and builds. But the ending just puts it in another level. Very powerful.

Destino Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Watched XMen: Angry Blue Egyptian and it was bad. Luckily I was expecting bad so I still enjoyed watching things explode. I don't know what they've done to the X-men story line but it's all a giant mess of bizarre timelines and randomly assigned hero and villain roles. Way too much focus on shiny super powers, which they still manage to make unimpressive, and too little on the story. It doesn't need to be a great story, but it shouldn't feel like they are just throwing actions scenes at you at random either. They are wasting a great cast. Please note that while I say it was bad, it was not the special kind of big budget bad that should result in someone being banned from making movies. Examples would be: Resident Evil after the 2nd where they stopped trying to make sense and just started trolling everyone. Transformers 4 (he's an inventor from Texas!) which was so bad it elevated 2 and 3 simply by setting a new standard. Independence Day 2, which was so stupid that it haunts my quiet moments. This was more Green Lantern level bad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singularity Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Forsaken Kiefer and Donald Sutherland. Western set in 1872 Wyoming. Very entertaining. Demi Moore is looking her age though. Its a film that will have you cheering by end credits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually liked Blair Witch 2 at the time. The plot twist at the end was pretty cool. Definitely looking forward to the new Blair Witch though. Also, Bad Santa 2 looks awful, which is a shame because the first one was hilarious. I doubt all of these other "bad" movies "grandpa", "teacher", etc come out of it isn't for Bad Santa.

That's one thing that I sorta don't like about part of his fan base. They make him seem like some kind of cult sideshow, when in reality he is a really good actor, with a large body of work to illustrate that. 18 hours ago, BornaSkinsFan83 said: Was racking my brain trying to think of one and just realized we might have one coming out next week.

These are probably the same people who said The Conjuring was the best horror movie since The Exorcist. Color me overwhelmingly skeptical.

I don't think it's because of anything negative, he's just one of those actors with so much whatever-it-is that makes him, him, that his fans celebrate it. Like Al Pacino. Doesn't matter if they play a Cuban mobster, house slave, blind man, or teacher their unique charisma shines through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching it with a packed theater that absolutely hated it. Was your theater talking a lot and fidgeting? Horror requires the proper mind set to enjoy it and some people ruin it for themselves. A common way people spoil their own fun is evident while watching movies with a great deal of jump scares. When people sense it's coming, or after the first caused them to flinch, some in the audience will start laughing, talking, or otherwise coming up with reasons not to remain quietly focused on the screen. That effectively disarms certain types of scary. I saw a lot of that behavior during Blair Witch when I went to see it. I enjoyed it and thought the way they built up the dread slowly was magnificently done (the first Paranormal Activity succeeded for the same reason), but I think it had two elements that worked against it. It received too much hype which created unreasonably high expectations. It's not a "great" movie and expecting it to be was sure to leave people disappointed. Also, for some people found footage camera shake is unwatchable and for many more it's at least unpleasant. I think the new one has an outside shot of using the same dread build up which might make it fun, but I don't expect it o be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing The Thing didn't, but I liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
