Wow, remember “Mean People Suck” t-shirts?
I always played as the Long Island Islanders in Wayne Gretzky’s 3D Hockey for the N64, a game I never understood how to play outside of starting fights.
Wait, I know that face…
Guy in the center looks like Beaker.
This would have probably been my earliest introduction to Ben Stiller and probably why I never liked him.

didn’t give me the damn recipe, though!
Deadly Friend doesn’t do anything for me. That stupid goddamn babbling robot is the worst! I love when Throw Mama from the Train blows it to fucking pieces. Buffy is almost unrecognizable in this. This is another one of those “boy genius” movies that were somewhat popular in the 80s but were mostly awful (imo, obviously).
His friend looks like Clint Howard if he hadn’t been sucked out of his mother’s womb with a vacuum hose. Flint Howard.
This is my second time trying to give Deadly Friend a chance, and I still think it’s pretty awful. Wes Craven directed this after A Nightmare on Elm Street! And the screenplay is by the guy who wrote Jacbo’s Ladder and Ghost! But it’s so tame, it’s not scary, nobody gives a shit about boy geniuses, you care more about Buffy than anybody else but the movie isn’t about her, there’s no tension, it doesn’t go anywhere. No fun.

I feel like the post-Elm Street Craven you want to watch is Shocker
this is me quietly ignoring that he made People Under the Stairs directly after it
also you can’t talk about it without posting it:

The First Power comes off like it’s going to be super boring, and at points you feel like it’s going to get super boring, but it’s pretty OK. I’ve liked LDP ever since I first saw him in La Bamba (incidentally, my favorite song and movie when I was like, 6), so I tend to overlook his acting. He doesn’t really fit the role he’s playing in this, but it just adds to the goofiness, so I think it works.
I feel like this would pair well with like, The Exorcist III (as a palate cleanser, TFP is a bit lighter), Manhunter (before, because Manhunter is aesthetically better), or even Shocker.
I gotta watch the third Return of the Living Dead movie.
I’ve seen it a bunch of times because SciFi would alternate between showing the same block of horror movies every Sunday morning (sometimes you’d get the block that featured Day of the Dead). I thought it was terrible and haven’t seen it since SciFi stopped doing its Sunday horror block in like, 2004.
This is good casting because in my head canon SPOILER: Santa is a raving anti-semite.

this is perhaps the most profound example of the thing where it feels like a movie that should exist only as a parody within another movie that is a satire of hollywood bullshit

I want to know more about the cenobite in the middle. Surely it has a name and like, 6 EU novels about it right?
I could never really sit through Star Wars, and I never liked it much, but I’m enjoying it a bit more now. I think it falls apart once they get on the Death Star. At that point, it’s a lot of shooting and yelling. Princess Leia takes charge for exactly 15 seconds, and then throws the gun back to Luke Georgas. I wanted to hear more of Obi-Bong’s stoner philosophies about what the Force is. When Han Solo said, “Tractor beam”, I was like, why not just say you’re being sucked in by its massive gravitational pull? It doesn’t make any sense, but I think that makes it sound way more ominous than “yo, we got a tractor beeeeeeeeeaaaam womp”. What’s up with Millennium FALL-kun?
Luke has piloted his way around the outer-rim of my bush once or twice, Sir.
Luke x Biggs.
Red Thirteen called out.
“Woah, metal! Now I can go to Tosche station whenever I want!”
Best parts: murder of a debt collector, Luke’s aunt and uncle’s metal death, and the space bar.
Worst parts: all of this distracting fucking CG they added in. i don’t even like this star wars shit and i find all of the CG they added in annoying and distracting. it’s so ugly!
The only family I’ve ever known are dead and all of my friends are dead, too, but at least i got this shitty medal.

Star Wars Galaxies is the closest (but not close enough) a game ever got to fulfilling my wish to just hang out in the Mos Eisley cantina getting zonked on space opium and eavesdropping on whatever galactic gossip wafts through the alien ragtime jazz.
