I meant to get this schedule shared yesterday, but the day got away from me a little bit. However, I'm kind of glad that I ended up not doing it because I saw the news of Sam Neill's passing before I fell asleep. 😔 I hadn't made a decision on what I wanted to react to for my movie pick this week, so it made sense to pick one that Sam has starred in. On Letterboxd, I looked up his list of films, excluded the ones that I've seen, and sorted by film popularity. Possession (1981) was the first one, so that's what we're watching. Miles has offered to edit the reaction right away for sharing on the channel, so that will be one of the edits this week. I'm excited to check it out, even though I've been watching a few of these kinds of movies lately. I was tempted to make Possessor (2020) the viewer's choice movie this week, as it was requested on Reactr and I've been holding onto it for future sharing, but I thought that might be a little much. 😅 But y'all can look forward to that reaction to come.

The Sam Neill movie that I just recently reacted to was Event Horizon [full-length / edit]. I also watched Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016) earlier this year with my brother and sister-in-law. That's a strong recommendation from me if you want to watch a feel-good movie starring Sam. I think it's a good time for me to give Jurassic Park a re-watch. I've watched reactions to it, but it's been at least 5 years since I sat down and watched the whole movie.

My week is front-loaded with personal errands and to-do's, so full-length reactions will begin on Wednesday.

🔴 I will be going live on YouTube this Saturday to do a massive catch-up and answer questions for YouTube viewers. I hope to see some of you there! 🥰

Have a wonderful week everyone! Thank you so much for your support and kindness and lovely comments.

This is an IOU for Patreon member, Sam. He had requested this on Reactr a long time ago, but it wasn't available anywhere to watch digitally in Canada and that was a firm requirement for me to accept requests at the time. Sam replaced the pick with The 13th Warrior. Later on, after I started purchasing some physical discs on eBay, I reached out to Sam to tell him that I would eventually react to TWTSTB now that I was incorporating physical movies. I had planned to grab a DVD for this movie, but they were (and still are) unreasonably expensive. I kept periodically checking for digital availability with no luck. Now that I am borrowing from the library regularly, I saw that they have this (and more than one copy even!), so it's time to watch it. Support your libraries! 🥰

I checked digital availability and what do you know, it's finally here in Canada on a platform I've never heard of called Sundance Now. In the US and UK, this movie is more widely available for digital viewing.

Saturday at 09:30 MDT / 15:30 UTC: YouTube Live Stream - let's catch-up and chat!

PS. Face/Off was blocked on YouTube during the middle of the night. 🙃 Not sure when it will be back up.

I know what you mean when you say "I've been watching a few of these kinds of movies [like Possession]" but really, once you've seen Possession, you'll see that even other horror movies are not like Possession. Possession is a force of nature. It will only be my second time seeing it, after many years, and yet I remember so much of it vividly because it is something else.

Clay F

The Wind That Shakes The Barley (2006) is on my watchlist.

Vincent Hollow

POSSESSION YASSSSSS!!! I cannot fuckin wait!!! GAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!

Steve Mercier

Possession!!! A fantastic cosmic horror (sort of) movie!!! Good shit.

Movies with KL

Oh, I just meant titles, really. Not implying they are identical. Obsession, Possessor, and now Possession. 😉 Obsession and Possessor were very different and I expected Possession to be its own thing too.

Chad Jenkins

Hmmm never heard of Possession before. I'll have to give it a look

Jimmie V

Remember, Possession is first and foremost, an art-house film, not a horror film. Go in with that in mind and you'll have a better chance of understanding it and appreciating it.

Hi folks! Both the live stream and the watchalong for The Wind That Shakes The Barley will be tomorrow (Sunday).
