Sounds good but you all are going to have to give me some time if it's to be one I haven't seen. I live in a pretty remote area so I am limited to satellite internet. No streaming for me. I am 100% reliant on my own movie collection, Netflix-by-mail and sometimes one other source.

At any rate I have adjusted my queue. voilà

Hopefully I will get one of those movies not named Sullivan's Travels sometime soon. When I do get to watch it I'll just make a new post in the #movieclub.

for some reason My ISP lets me watch Youtube after 2am without affecting my bandwidth limit, but only every once in a while.

I forced my family to watch that piece of shit in the theater!

I was a pretty big fan of the comics. I didn't have very many, but I was super excited for the film.

Imagine an eleven-year-old non-stop hyping a movie for weeks. Telling everyone about how great the effects were going be. How it may sound dumb now, but wait till you see what they do with the character. How smart and witty and funny it was all going to be. Trust me. This is George Lucas, man. George Lucas!

Then we watched it...

The shame I experienced was palpable. I could feel my family's judgement and contempt growing with every scene. The duck tits. The scene where they almost fuck. The deeply uninteresting story. The dearth of characterization. No wit. No quality humor. Edge? Oh there's edge to spare. But it's a watered down version of that dumbfuck /b/tard kind of edge. Nothing biting or insightful. Just obtuse, weird, and inappropriate.

I see you didn't comment on how fucking depressing Howard the Duck is. It's just so damn bleak. If I ever am in a situation where I need that final bit of impetus to end it all, this is the movie I am going to watch.

It did teach me a valuable lesson about the power of hype though, so at least It wasn't a complete loss.

I'm still working on my music consolidation/clean-up project. I'm listening to a lot of stuff I have not heard in years.

Groen defended his comments and chastised critics for being outraged by his comments but not by abortion.

Christ, what an asshole.

Why form a separate category for "animal?"

Because an OSU grad had to try to get a beaver on the list? That is my guess anyway.

I actually have a copy of that on VHS. It is hilarious.

Pussy :)

It's surprisingly progressive -- the main protagonists are women and the male lead is a PoC. It's also really funny, intentionally so. Highly underrated IMO.

Ha, I haven't seen Runaway in forever. I need to see it again. I'm watching this even if it doesn't get picked.

Show me on the doll where Max Headroom touched you.

Whoa. Why is my text all crazy colored?

My alternative title is Night of the Comet. I love this movie. We have a global event that wipes out most of earth's population and only a couple of valley girls can pick up the pieces. In it, you have Valley Girls with machine guns, scientists in jumpsuits, neon, arcade games, shopping malls, Geoffrey Lewis and Mary Fucking Woronov.

:D

Alright so TerrorVision is my suggestion. If you haven't seen it, you should. This is a candy-colored horror comedy that encapsulates virtually every trope and trend from the 80's. Stars Gerrit Graham, Jon Gries as rocker named O.D. and Mary Fucking Woronov. Tons of fun.

One of the things I love about this movie is that it did such a good job making me care about the characters and their tiny, dusty town (very similar to one I grew up in) that I was pulling for them the entire time. Too often in killer beast movies I begin sympathizing with the beast and then end up bummed out in the end. Not here. Fuck the Graboids! Humans rule!

I love that fucking song.

Yeah that's part of the reason I'm going through and doing it all manually. I let one of the not iTunes programs rake one of my libraries once. I had a similar experience to yours. It's good to kinow I'm not wasting my time.

I bought a $2300 NAS simply for backup.

Is that your Synology hub, or whatever they are called? That is the dream. Rigfht now I am running regular old, unraid-configured WD HDs with some cheapo Seagate external drives as backup. In the future I shall refer to these times as my Years of Living Dangerously.

I only have 6 terabytes, I really should bite the bullet and get on that Synology train before the inevitable occurs.

I think you and I are about the same age, do you remember this song?

I completely forgot about it until I started doing this project. Been having that feeling a lot lately.

I am slowly consolidating and reorganizing all of my music files on my computer. It's from 6 different core libraries from 4 different hard drives and 2 users ranging back to 2002. And I used 7 different programs to rip my music with varying degrees of success.

Getting everything into one main library. Merging folder groups. Fixing tags. Getting rid of dupes. Dumping bad or low quality rips. It's a process. I could probably automate at least some of it but what is the fun in that?

Of course when I do this I have to listen to a bunch of music that I haven't heard in years. I also treat myself to a dram or twelve.

Oh and fuck iTunes.

Antique shops freak me out. I have an anxiety based fear of them. I constantly feel like, at any moment, I am going to fall over and cause tens of thousands dollars worth of damage.

Hey if you end up blowing up like Stephen King, you can always go on and release an unabridged version The Stand style. Then you can revel in your excess.
