ChineseConnection posted:How old? Modern movies or old black & white era? Was definitely thinking more 30s-60s. Harryhausen type stuff; 7th Voyage of Sinbad, Valley of Gwangi, etc. or creature features like Them! or even Gremlins. But yeah, The Host is fun too. Just not quite what I'm going for. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 04:33 on Jan 23, 2014 |

Slate Action posted:Make sure you're watching The Host (2006), though; The Host (2013) is an unrelated (and lovely) movie. Yes. If your movie seems overrun with bland white teens, that means you're watching Stephanie Meyer's The Host. Which, compared to the genius of Twilight, is considered her B-material.

The 1978 Piranha. It's cheesy but god drat is it fun to watch, especially a certain "distraction" scene.

Whoever asked for a stoner movie that's on netflix instant check out Killer Bud. I thought it would be stupid when I started it and it is but in all the right ways. Check it out.

morestuff posted:The Stuff All dope suggestions. If you want some quality '80s cheese with your monster movies, do a double feature of C.H.U.D. and Class of Nuke 'Em High. Edit: I know the request was originally for '30s-'60s, so I'll also mention that The Angry Red Planet is up for streaming and features one of the cooler space monsters in cinema history.

I'm a fan of Leviathan for 80's creature horror. It's like Alien meets The Thing meets The Abyss, but with a bit lower budget. Scared the poo poo out of me as a kid though! edit: drat looks like it's not on streaming anymore.

I just watched the last episode of Twin Peaks, my first ever watching. Been hearing about it since 1990 and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about..... what the christ, it ended like THAT? I sort of wish I hadn't invested the time to watch it and just read the wikipedia summary. This show blueballs you.

Now I think it's one of the great series finales ever (even if it was only intended as a season finale) Next, watch Fire Walk With Me. Then read the FWWM shooting script -- at least 45 min to an hour was cut from the final product. Then rewatch Twin Peaks (but this time around, you can skip past James and Nadine's S2 storylines )

Boy of Joy posted:Gonna say nay on this one, somehow me and a buddy actually sat through the entirety of this. It's depressingly bad and about as exciting as you'd expect killer slugs to be. You are wrong. The slug attacks are insanely overboard and gruesome and often involve nudity. At one point a guy gets slugs in his glove and ends up chopping off his hand which leads to him blowing up him and his wife. All from some slugs! I liked it more than Pieces. SLUGS

I think Fire Walk With Me is great, but it hurts my enjoyment of the original series because it pulls back the curtain on Twin Peaks and shows you exactly how horrifying and destructive Bob's influence on the place is. Its hard to then go back to the series and laugh at some of the jokes.

Slugs owns, a movie I remember seeing back when I was like 6 or 7. I really need to see more of Jean Piquer Simon's stuff, I've seen Slugs, Pieces and Mystery on Monster Island and loved all three.

Just so you don't draw any false conclusions, "What the christ, it ended like THAT?" was the correct 1990 reaction, too.

I'm really enjoying An Idiot Abroad but parts of the Rio episode dip a bit too much into that awkward Gervaisian humor. Other than that this is a show that everyone should be watching because Karl Pilkington is a very interesting human being.

Other than that this is a show that everyone should be watching because Karl Pilkington is a very interesting human being. Ya, I started the first season recently and really warming up to Karl. Such a closed minded guy that hates anything different in his life, but in the first three episodes, I feel you can see him slowly turning his views around. I think in either the second or third episode he has that quote about how it's better to live in the lovely place looking out at the beautiful mansion, than to live in the beautiful mansion looking out at the lovely house. That completely blew me away.

Watched Cutie and the Boxer, a documentary about a married pair of Japanese artists living in NY that's very charming, poignant and quite funny at moments. A great examination of some of the biggest questions about life, marriage and what drives us to do what we do. Also caught The Square which is an exciting and heartbreaking documentary look at the tumult in Egypt starting with the uprising against Mubarak. A Netflix sponsored release on their streaming service, it's been nominated for an Oscar just like Cutie and the Boxer. Definitely make sure you stick it out until halfway, it really picks up once things grow more tense on the street and the personal stories they develop start to pay off. Gives you hope to see and hear people act in three dimensions instead of the caricatures we sometimes get through the news. A great artifact of an important historical event as well.

One of Pacino's most underrated performances, it's actually the role that impressed Coppola enough to hire him for The Godfather.
