Hey butterheads!

Happy Pioneer Day (tomorrow, yes that’s a thing in Utah!) it’s basically just another excuse to have pie and fireworks and I’ll take it.

I’m not going to lie, it has been nonstop since getting back home and I kind of feel like i’m drowning a bit, but surprisingly….up beat! It’s just exponentially harder to accomplish things with the children just always here haha, good thing they are cute! My one son is struggling more than ever with this thing we know very little about and I’m trying to stay positive and we are trying so many things but you just wish you could make everything better for them ya know?. Staying hopeful.

This week we have a big range of genres and movies with Man of Steel, The Pianist and just for the heck of it decided to dethrone Wargames from its #1 requested on the PR page by watching it, thank the pioneers!

We also had 2 big polls from the PR requests go up and they are close!! The top 3 from each will go in a FINAL BOSS POLL!

In Patreon news I want you to know that we are working on something for those who would like a general place to chat without discord and we will let you know soon:)

Extra Butter Live Watch Along will be on Monday 7/28 and we will be watching Thunderdome:Mad Max 3. The first 30 mins will be a hangout, then we will start the movie. It will be at 5pm so a little earlier than usual so hopefully different time zones can make it!

Also, i’m planning on a big YT live at the end of August after school is back in session! I have a pile of packages here that are tempting me and the kids beyond belief to open haha

Ok guys, hope you’re doing so good, we’re firing back up the Popcorn to Go podcast this week, I’ll let you know when the new episode is up! Hope you’re enjoying a beautiful summer week-I give you permission for a big slice of your favorite pie tomorrow, even if you’re not in Utah!

Love Cassie



ps-We are doing only two YT edits this week and next!

Remember to do the ultimate cut of Batman V Superman when you react to it.

Shawn Kildal

Wow! Such an incredible week on PIB!!

Edgar Gonzalez

Yep, the man of steel !Perfect!...me and my friends are going to comic con this Sunday, Perfect reaction 👌

Geoff S.

Two great movies coming up on Youtube this week!

Brent Petty

Yes! Been waiting for War Games.

Bill W

WarGames and Enter the Dragon!! WHOOP WHOOP!!

TechJJ

War Games! love that movie.

Bill W

Utah is a weird place. Beautiful...but weird.

Gray

The Pianist is an amazing true story but boy is it heartwrenching and well WarGames will be fun, watched it not long ago too.

Shawn Kildal

Not to mention Zack Snyder's Justice League and NOT the theatrical version (if Cassie is going to watch)

Jacob King

War Games is deservedly a classic. Also, nerdy guy with jock girl is a seriously underrated romcom trope.

Big Lazy Dragon

I can pretty much guarantee that Cassie is going to love WarGames. Been waiting for what seems like forever for her to get to that one. This was literally the film that put Matthew Broderick's name on everyone's lips, even before Ferris Bueller. And let's also not forget that this was also the film that sparked the first true conversations about cyber security, because then President Ronald Reagan asked his advisors, members of Congress & the Joint Chiefs if anything in the film was possible, and they came back & told him that not only was it possible, but it was even worse than they could imagine. And to give you an idea of how well the movie has held up in the 40+ years since it was released, it still holds a 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. That's pretty good.

Stick Figure Studios

All 3 of the films this week are worth seeing, but they are not all going to be easy viewing. I'll wait to really say anything about MAN OF STEEL until after you've watched it, but I am very curious to see what you both think of it. It is almost certainly the most divisive Superman movie ever made as different people seem to both love it and loathe it with equal amounts of passion. I will say that I happen to mostly like it myself, but I definitely do have some serious issues with it (Personally, I prefer the new James Gunn film to it). Should be interesting. From the writers of SNEAKERS and the director of SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER (John Badham), WAR GAMES is a relic of my childhood and one of the first films to introduce me to the subject of nuclear war. It is a smart, funny and suspenseful techno-thriller that is (sadly) relevant again. It is also features an early performance of Michael Madsen (KILL BILL, THE NATURAL) who recently passed away, so this reaction could almost be a tribute to him. RIP. The best film of this week, though, is going to be the toughest. Like SCHINDLER'S LIST, THE PIANIST is absolutely brilliant and positively heartbreaking. Directed by Roman Polanski, who was himself a Holocaust survivor, it is a harrowing true story that is also sadly becoming relevant again. As always, thank you for your willingness to watch so many different kinds of films... and particularly for your openness to truly great (if not always pleasant) cinema. Your journey as a cinephile is kind of inspiring. Keep up the good work, Cassie. :-)

Clarence Newman

I made a movie in Utah back in '07. Me and two other guys played fitness "experts" trying to get an old guy and a young woman into shape. I might Pick a Flick it one day. To give you an idea of the popularity of this movie, the Youtube channel that posted the trailer now has a grand total of 1 subscriber. We also sold 37 DVDs. A very misunderstood movie in it's time (and ours), I believe a reaction to it would pull in at least 10 views for Cassie. In honour of Utah's Pioneer Day, she ought to watch it.

Jim at Super Powered Design

WarGames? YAY! I saw this in the theaters with my older brother (RIP) in 1983. It was a Saturday afternoon, and I remember it like it was yesterday. My mom (RIP) asked us "How was the movie?". It was in the midst of the Cold War, and the threat of nuclear war was everywhere. I remember telling my mom that everyone on the planet needs to see this movie! I loved it. It occupies a space in my brain forever. "Mr Potato Head! Mr Potato Head! Back doors are not secret!"

Clarence Newman

For Cassie, I get the feeling Cavill's magnetism is going to override any plot weakness.

Scott S.

A movie i would like reacted too, is Darkman (1990) the best comic book movie that wasn't a comic book and Liam Neeson first action movie

Clay F

Looking forward to The Pianist. Awesome movie. I think Man of Steel will be a first watch for me.

Clarence Newman

By the way, Cassandra..........as you are watching The Pianist because "it accidentally got left off a poll", I trust you will rectify the heinous error of leaving A Perfect World off a recent poll because you mistakenly thought it was about a child in peril. The child is never in the kind of peril you left it off the poll for, so please cease to deprive yourself of this righteous chunk of prime Costner.

Stick Figure Studios

Yeah, I thought that too. Cavill is definitely magnetic, but I think it's possible his particular interpretation of character might not charm her quite as much a Reeve did (or as Corenswet probably will). Also, without spoiling anything, I could see the whole second half of the film getting a bit wearisome for them.

Stick Figure Studios

"Would you like to play a game?" An important film from my childhood as well.

Stick Figure Studios

It was essentially the first hacker movie. Such a teriffic film and I agree that Cassie will love it.

Stick Figure Studios

I recently revisited WAR GAMES recently and it still holds up.

Ted Whalen

I am looking forward to the Pianist and Wargames (such a great movie). Is it okay to have cake rather than pie (I have never been a pie fan).

Stick Figure Studios

I'm skeptical that Cassie will continue on with the DCEU, but if she does, I agree that she should do both the longer cut of BVS and Snyder's cut of JUSTICE LEAGUE. I'd also like to see her watch WONDER WOMAN, AQUAMAN, SHAZAM and THE FLASH.

Ted Whalen

I love The Pianist, but I don’t think it is quite as intense (which is not a bad thing) as Schindlers list.

Stick Figure Studios

Oh, it definitely is. In some ways even more so... and I say that a someone whose life was completely changed by watching SCHINDLER'S LIST (I considered it the best film ever made for about 20 years there). THE PIANIST is an excellent companion piece to Spielberg's film because it essentially tells the same story from a different perspective.

Ted Whalen

I think a better way to describe Utah is that it is unique ( which you could really say about any of the individual states).

Stick Figure Studios

Curious what to think of MOS. Lots of varying opinions on that one.

Charles Briggs

Just out of curiosity what makes you skeptical in my opinion i think she will especially once the YouTube edit comes out and she sees how many views this gets every movie reaction channel on YouTube that has done a reaction to Man of Steel has done big views/crazy numbers I'm just saying 🤷‍♂️

Shawn Kildal

I saw it at an outdoor drive in theater. Those were the days.

Shawn Kildal

After watching WarGames for the first time, I had quite the crush on the young Ally Sheedy. Cassie also saw her as the aloof girl in The Breakfast Club.

AceofSpades501

The mountain in the background where Matthew Broderick makes a pay phone call, is called White Horse. It's a mountain in Washington State, my Grandparents used to have a place near there. Alway fun to see. Hope you son is doing well.

Phil Stubblefield

Same here. I'm not sure any young man didn't have a crush on Ally Sheedy at this point! 😍

Ted Whalen

Intense may not have been the right word (there certainly a reason why I didn’t go into Journalism)…… both are great movies)

Phil Stubblefield

As long as we're bragging about our film careers, Clarence... 😉 One summer during high school, I was an extra in the made-for-TV movie Long Journey Back (1978). The film itself was really cheesy, but the experience was so fun! One of the scenes involved a school bus being hit by a train, and a bunch of my friends and I got real Hollywood make-up to emulate bruises, cuts, and broken limbs. (On the way home that day, we stopped at a Burger King and freaked out the other customers and the employees!) In another scene, our crappy little high school chorus played the role of a church choir, and my friend who sang the lead actually got a movie credit! We all would have done it for free, but we got paid $25 per day for an entire week. That $125 felt like a fortune to teenage Phil! 😂

Clarence Newman

Happy to clarify, Flag. Movies that contain the "child in peril" trope are ok for Cassie IF..... A) ....there is no REAL peril to the child (ie sickening). Stand By Me is a perfect example - they're in constant peril from bullies, trains, scrapyard owners and leeches on the nutsack, but Cassie was fine watching it. B) .....the film is titled IT or IT PART 2. Those poor kids had the odd wee peril-ette to deal with, but Cassie still decided to watch. I'm not saying she loved it, but.... C) ....the film also stars Keanu Reeves, Pedro Pascal or Chris Hemsworth. It's something to do with the implied guarantee that any wrong-doers will end up getting loofered with a cactus and the star will look extremely shaggable while doing it. Cassie will overlook a lot of other stuff if that particular trope is present. D) .....I like the film and want her to watch it. If I don't like the film, it becomes vile exploitation and should be stricken from the schedule. Ergo.....A Perfect World is deemed legal and ready to watch.

Clay F

I will have an opinion.

Clarence Newman

I'm jealous, Phil. We had to print our own DVDs and never got anywhere near the tv. A relation of one of the American guys even had connections to a guy who could pull strings to get us into the Sundance Festival. When he gave him a private screening, the guy suddenly developed narcolepsy! It was a fun experience, and for a while we felt like movie stars, but....I think yours qualifies as a more genuine movie credit.

Phil Stubblefield

So looking forward to War Games, Cassie! As someone who graduated from a Washington State high school in the 1980s and then went on to become a fledgling computer programmer, I identified pretty closely with Matthew Broderick's character... except for Ally Sheedy in my life, of course! 😂

Stan the Man

“Butterheads”. Cassie. I know you don’t know this. Heck many people on here don’t either(if you watch The Sopranos you’d know,) but Butterhead is an ethnic slur. Obviously you didn’t mean it that way. But I just want you to know incase someone does take any offence to that. It’s specifically an ethnic slur against East Asians. Again I know there’s no way you meant it in any way but a play on the popcorn title of your channel but we live in strange times so it’s best to let you know

JohnnyUtah

That answers "when are we getting war games?" 😅

Clarence Newman

You can offend with anything these days, Stan, but it's still the intent that counts. Cassie would never knowingly insult anyone and that, as far as I'm concerned, is the first and last word of it. Personally, I've never heard that term before. I'm not sure how it even applies. (I'm not asking mate, it's truly not worth enabling. It just doesn't equate to any Asian feature or personality trait.)

Mojo One Thousand

"Ok guys, hope you’re doing so good...", oh man, and the response a can't help but make is "Superman does good, we're doing well... ". On a week with a Superman movie, I get to borrow a bit about grammar from "30 rock" that jumps into my head - https://youtu.be/LoE8ZgzaX7A?si=bEM69F4MyzRFDTXO... sorry Cassie, i can't help myself. Clip also mentions "Theo Huxtable" (which I forgot about),. So, it is appropriate to say rest in peace Malcolm Jamar Warner, he played "theo" and sadly passed away this week.

Mark White

Agreed Clarence, I’m not sure why that happened! A perfect world is a perfect movie for Cassie. Considering Trainspotting is now in a poll as well! Now there’s a baby in peril! 😆

Bill W

I've heard the term before, but not used as an ethnic slur. Describing a female with a nice figure, but maybe not so pretty. "Everything looks good.... ____________!"

Mark White

+1 for Clarence as Mr Motivator movie. 😆

Mike Lemon

I'm calling BS on that. Everything I find is either unsourced or refers back to the Sopranos. Tony possibly meant "burrhead" and got it wrong. The closest thing to "butterhead" I can find is 'buddahead' to refer to Japanese. That is either from the religion (obviously) or buta-, the Japanese for pig or bula-, from the book Plantation Boy by Milton Murayama. https://encyclopedia.densho.org/Buddhahead/

Mark White

Quick Johnny, go by a lottery ticket! 😆

Bill W

"Remember you told me to tell you when you were acting rudely and insensitively? Remember that? You're doing it right now." 🤣 Barry Corbin had one great line after another. And no one plays egotistical, wormy jerk quite like Dabney Coleman!

Mark White

I’m really pleased we are getting Wargames. I was worried we were going to have to wait as long as we did for BHC! It’s a fun movie, which has been referenced in other movies, such as Captain America Winter Soldier.

Bill W

Clarence, is she THAT predictable? 🤣

Clarence Newman

Welcome back, big fella! Normal service is (almost) resumed. You're right about Trainspotting, of course. Good film, but if Cassie ever watches it, I hope a big, fat moth is occupying her attention during THAT scene.

Erik Locquiao

Hope you still watch “Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story” soon!

Clarence Newman

There was a song about that in the 70s, Bill. "Nice legs, shame about her boat race!"

Bill W

those silver-tongued devils!

K, Zachary

I was asleep my phone pings. Sometimes I just sleep through it. This time though. My gf Eva had one arm draped over me. She was too close. Normally she will sleep through anything. It pings I am half awake she says what the heck was that? which wakes me. I look at my phone briefly it's just Cassie. Oh when you respond give her my best. and tell her and her family are always in my 🙏. She grabs our little dog to cuddle with and flips over. I immediately pass out again. When she wakes up for work. She woke me up enough to respond. Pioneer Days huh? I think I have heard of this. Other states festivals always interest me. I don't know. Now I read everything your little update says. Just not repeating it. Somethings are just none of my business. I give my own experiences with my health issues though the years. On my little YT channel Helping other people. That and Sharon Tate videos. Anyways we watched all three movies from last week and liked them. Congratulations to the winners from some great movie picks. Watching movies with Cassie makes the movie watching experience even better. I have rambled too much. As most of you know the great Ozzy Osbourne died this week rather than a song I leave you with his trip to Wrigley Field to sing Take Me Out To The Ballgame. During the 7th inning stretch. One of his most memorable moments. https://youtu.be/0TPYI_Y3pWw?si=msHM61cTrohDiKYa Have a great week everyone!

TheSingulatarian

The Japanese American soldiers use it in the movie "Go for Broke" about 442 regimental combat team in WWII. The most decorated unit in American History. Not a bad movie for low budget picture. It really needs a remake or at least another movie about the same subject.

Mark White

It’s strange Stick, when I hear that quote, I can’t help but hear it with Black widow in Captain America WS voice! Despite being a big fan of Wargames back in the 80’s. I think it’s slightly underrated. Great cast, with a very good performance from Broderick. I love the story and that 80’s tech is pure nostalgia and the score very really gets mentioned, which is very good. It’s just a good thrilling movie. Should be a great reaction.

bgb1975 (Brian)

So sorry to hear your little guy is still struggling.

TheSingulatarian

Everyone remembers "War Games" and "The Terminator. But for my money the scariest movie about AI is "Colossus: The Forbin Project" (1970). What was a sci-fi flight of fancy 50 years ago is heading for a terrifying reality.The last ten minutes will make your blood run cold.

Mike Lemon

@TheSingulatarian- Just clarifying, you're talking about "buddahead", right? I don't see 'butter' anywhere in the 1951 script. I didn't check the other movies with that title.

JohnnyUtah

Funny you mention that because captain america winter soldier is my favorite mcu film lol

JohnnyUtah

Tell me about it! I think I've peaked with war games, the mention of interstellar being a possibility and GoT!

TheSingulatarian

As much as I enjoy watching your reactions. If you need to take a mental health week off, I suggest you do it. You are spinning a lot of plates so take a break if you need it. We will still be here when you get back. What's plate spinning? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zhoos1oY404

Clarence Newman

This is Cavill we’re talking about, Bill. My wife would leave me for Cavill.

Richard Maurer

The point is, Cassie obviously meant nothing by it. It’s a play on the popcorn theme, nothing more. If someone were to find offense then they are looking to be offended. We are becoming a world of perpetually offended people.

Michael Bachman

How about In Another Country poll? The movies would need to center around the central character or characters visiting another country, either because of a job, or on vacation.

Andrew R

Welp, I was excited for Cassie to see Dragon. I'll probably hangout for 30 minutes but life is too short to watch Mad Max 3.

My_Cousin_Mose

I hopefully will be able to make it for the live even though I'm not a big fan of Beyond Thunderdome. I know it was never an official promise but you did say in your original Return of the King video that you would "definitely" watch the LOTR special features on the channel. So hopefully that happens some day. But I know your plate is so full so I will remain very patient. And if it never happens I understand. To make it easier I'm posting the links to a playlist on youtube that someone made that has all the special features from The Fellowship and The Return of the King. I can't seem to find the Two Towers ones on youtube. But theres enough here to watch already. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRzqXH8K0HzFtdseK3p08JdVKKzgtQoww (The Fellowship full playlist) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRzqXH8K0HzFqmf0D5dtqZIVVVwxaWVVh (Return of the King full playlist) I have also curated a smaller list from these 2 playlists of the features I would most want you to watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZuxBpdrEFo&list=PLRzqXH8K0HzFtdseK3p08JdVKKzgtQoww&index=2&t=704s The Creator of Middle Earth (22 min) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=werApB4scp4&list=PLRzqXH8K0HzFtdseK3p08JdVKKzgtQoww&index=10 The Fellowship of the cast (34 min) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8fq3rk1CMg&list=PLRzqXH8K0HzFqmf0D5dtqZIVVVwxaWVVh&index=2 The legacy of middle earth (30 min) Ok so thats 1 hr 26 min. I'd love it for you to just watch these one day but if you are really enjoying it here are a few more segments I recommend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaApQHPpLQU&list=PLRzqXH8K0HzFqmf0D5dtqZIVVVwxaWVVh&index=3 forging the final chapter (25 min) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fliY-phAWDg&list=PLRzqXH8K0HzFtdseK3p08JdVKKzgtQoww&index=3 Behind the scenes (20 min) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsTkbf0v8VE&list=PLRzqXH8K0HzFtdseK3p08JdVKKzgtQoww&index=11 A day in the life of a hobbit (13 min)

My_Cousin_Mose

I'm really sorry to hear about your son. Hang in there bud!

Clarence Newman

To/too is always an unacceptable juxtaposition.

Above Average Dave

God bless, your son, Cassie. So tough when kids get sick, and even tougher when the doctors seem to have few or no answers. And that helpless feeling for the parents is torture. My heart and prayers are with you all.

Michael West

Great lineup. So happy you are doing War Games, I wasn't sure it would ever make it on the channel. 42 years old and still holds up. Prayers for you and your son. It's so frustrating when you want to make things better but can't. Keep being positive.

Richard Maurer

Not sure what’s going on with him but whatever it is I hope he gets over it soon.

Dean Holt

As Meat Loaf said "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad". As I’ll be giving The Pianist a miss as "Not my bag, baby" 😂😂. But really looking forward to the other two especially War Games as I’ve not seen it in a while, you’re going to love how they get online 😂. But if you eat lots of food and have fireworks at every holiday I can see why you have lots of them in America 😂

Richard Maurer

I’m generally not a special features watcher, ruins the magic and all that, but considering I’ve seen LotR somewhere around 50 times (mostly extended, some theatrical) I might be ready to watch them, with Cassie anyway.

Richard Maurer

Good news about a general chat section happening. While I’ve adapted to the loss of the FAQ comments fairly well, I know some people will feel better with a new place to comment.

Mark White

That’s good news Richard, thanks for the update.

Mark White

It’s looking like a great line up in the near future.

My_Cousin_Mose

From one LotR lover to another I hope you watch them someday. You can really see how much passion went into making the trilogy.

Clarence Newman

I myself feel like a European plug trying to fit into one of those funny American sockets. There is definitely a hole missing.

Clarence Newman

Thirded. We're all rooting for the little guy.

Just Plain Bob

It is nice to know that the popcorn team takes concerns like these seriously instead of just paying them lip service (like so many do). On a side note, it’s also nice to see your voice again Mark!

Clarence Newman

To be fair, it's probably because they don't want us putting our lips into service again. You guys may not have noticed, but some of us can talk the toes off a centipede when we get going.

Clarence Newman

And I question whether Richard has adapted well to the loss of the FAQ thread. I heard him apologise to someone the other day. He never did that to me, you know.

Richard Maurer

I would apologize to you Clarence. If I were ever wrong and you were right. Never happened, probably never will.

Catherine LW

Never heard of that word as a slur. Let’s not make people walk on eggshells when it’s clear that no slur is intended.

Catherine LW

Excited to see The Pianist. Brilliant film.

Clarence Newman

I have a good example. If I were to say "Richard sucks!"....*obviously* I mean he's a man who sucks every last drop of nectar from the juicy pomegranate we call life and should therefore be applauded for his resilience and vision. A true hero of our community. But I bet you there'd be some eejits........

Clarence Newman

Richard. I hereby refer you to the legendary "Horror of Dracula is not quite as crap as I thought it would be" convo. I believe you concurred.

Bill W

This 100% seems like an off-the-channel type of thing.

JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS

I can't wait for the next package opening, Cassie! I'm definitely going to post you another parcel!

Richard Maurer

I used to read Fangoria (horror film magazine, for those who don’t know) and the articles would tell you how they did all the effects. I found myself, instead of just watching the movie, sitting there figuring out how they did everything. At that point I stopped reading any FX articles because it was ruining the movies for me. Having seen LotR so many times now makes me think it wouldn’t affect me, but still, in the back of my mind, there’s a fear that it would.

Bill W

What about because of exile? That would give another chance to get In the Name of the Father in there!! 😀

Ted Whalen

Richard- 100% agree, it will be great to have a new place to post

bgb1975 (Brian)

Cassie - "A Perfect World" [kinda] got accidentally left off of two father's day polls! Hint! ;)

Richard Maurer

Clarence - I concurred that you were wrong about something? I do that practically every day.

Bill W

Its/It's is an understandable mistake. The apostrophe is used in every other possessive situation.

Bill W

Byrd. I've heard both... butterhead, and butterface.

Clay F

Ditto

Clay F

Hi Mark.

Clay F

Fourthed.

Richard Maurer

In the spirit of your comment above Clarence, I say you really, really suck.

Mike Lemon

But it brings up another question- Will she like, "Shall we play a game?" better than "I want to play a game."? It's not a hard question tough.

Milton Reduxed

It may sound daft to some but when all else fails you've got nothing to lose by trying homeopathy for your son, the worst that can happen is it achieves nothing, and it may just work

fire12wife

I am SOOOOO damn excited for your reaction to WarGames (1983)!!! I've waited so long for this!!! ♥

My_Cousin_Mose

@Bill several of the extra butter livestreams have just been hour long hangouts where we don't watch anything. So there's room for it still.

My_Cousin_Mose

I'm confident that would not happen here Richard but if there's even a 1% chance something would ruin LotR for me I probably wouldn't chance it.

Clay F

The Pianist - the big winner for me this week. Man of Steel - never seen it but curious. Will watch the reaction. War Games -- I may have seen at or shortly following the 1983 release. Difficult for me to fathom how most ancient movies w/computers (even mainframes) as a central theme can still be relevant. But this movie gets good reviews. Looking forward to the reaction.

Henry M (black6q)

Cassie, if you haven’t seen it, check out “Wonder” 2017. Thanks for “WarGames”!

Clay F

Yep, those two are bad.

Richard Maurer

There’s so many good movies like this one that get lost in the shuffle. Movies that not only will probably never get a reaction, but won’t even be seen by most people. Makes me wonder if “Colossus” is even on Popcorn Requests, and if it is how buried is it? Edit: turns out it is on Popcorn Requests. I gave it another request. I wish Popcorn Requests showed an individual movie’s place on the list and number of requests it has when you search a movie. I’m not going to wade through 6000+ movies to find a single movie.

Ted Whalen

Oh yes, the days of Lotus 1-2-3. I remember how excited everyone was about COBOL as the advanced programming language.

Mark White

Richard, as you know I enjoy a sequel, even the not so good ones. But! Jaws 3D may just about class as so bad it’s good, maybe! But Jaws the Revenge is more like so bad it’s Garbage! And that’s coming from me, me! Who wants the Matrix 3, predator sequels, Die hard 5 etc…..Cannonball Run 2! 😄

Clarence Newman

Until one realises that the apostrophe represents a shortening of the word or statement and therefore reads as "it is" or "it has" - after that, there is no excuse and fines should be levied. "It's" either refers to something that "is" or something that "it has", whereas "its" refers to something that belongs to "it". It's (or it is, if you will) really quite simples. (Do I sound like Ross Gellar?)

Mark White

Hi Clay, there’s not to many movies for me in Poll 1, so I put in a vote for Empire of the Sun as I know you really like it. I am excited about Poll 2, I think I would want all those movies!

Clay F

Sorry Ted, I deleted that personal backstory (beow) in my original post. "That same year [1983], I became the 'expert' at my company on the newly-released Lotus 1-2-3 (spreadsheet program for DOS-based PCs). We had the newly-released IBM PC/XT (2nd PC in the IBM PC line) - an upgrade over the original 1981 IBM PC 5150 we were using. My engineering group had a single PC for all to share -- you would sign up for time -- and I was essentially the only person in the group using the sole PC. Fast forward 40 years later, now I am the old guy who younger people run circles around dealing w/PCs."

Mark White

Good post Dave, I’m not a parent, but I can’t even begin to imagine how hard that helpless feeling must be as a parent with a sick child. If the Kid has got half the heart his mother has he will pull though whatever it is, no problem. ❤️💪

Thunderdome -- wasn't a big fan but haven't watched in 30+ years. Looking forward to the watch along -- get to revisit and see your interpretation. Tina Turner was somewhat of a cultural icon. I am curious about “Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story” but slightly preferred Thunderdome for the watch along b/c curious how you will like Thunderdome, especially b/c you were a fan of the first two Mad Max. --Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story: "While its impact is blunted by an overly reverential approach to its subject, Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story remains a reasonably entertaining biopic of the martial arts legend."

The late, great actor, Michael Madsen, is in War Games (1983), his first role in a movie! There is a really good Instagram page called more_than_a_legend that does AI-animations of a legendary actor posing in their iconic roles. Michael Madsen is one of their posts, you see him go from War Games (1983) to Thelma and Louise (1991), Reservoir Dogs (1992), Free Willy (1993), Die Another Day (2002), Kill Bill (2003), Sin City (2005) and Hateful Eight (2015). I would love to see a Michael Madsen poll of his best films in tribute to him like we had for Val Kilmer.

Richard Maurer

Mark - I saw Jaws 4, once. My brain has mercifully expunged all memory of it, except that it was bad. So I’ll take your word that no good of any kind is to be found there.

MikeLL

Such a surprise to have Cassie knock out the #1 request on Popcorn Requests, and to my knowledge, nobody asked her to! Now that's service! War Games wasn't even up there that long after Beverly Hills Cop was watched. And in case anyone was wondering and didn't know, once War Games is watched, the new #1 movie on the app is . . . drumroll please . . . Who Framed Roger Rabbit!!

Mark White

Mike, that’s a good one, took me a moment! 🤔😄 I’m confident Cassie will prefer the first one!

Joe J

I don't see Cassie watching special features stuff on the channel. A little too niche.

JohnnyUtah

I feel dumb, is that a Saw reference? Actually haven't seen any of the franchise

Collar City Guy

So sorry to hear about your little guy, hope he has many more days like he was having on the live drawing, as all three of you seemed to be having a great time and I hope all your days are like that!

Mark White

Thanks Bob, I believe you came up with the idea/suggestion for the new general chat? Think I read that and Cassie liked it. If that is the case, thank you!

BlockbusterBrian

Hey Cassie, First I wanted to say thank you for what you do... I've always loved movies, my favourite job I ever had was I was a shift supervisor at Blockbuster for 4 years... my customers LOVED me, and I LOVED sharing new movies with them and seeing how much they enjoyed the movies I recommended and learning their tastes so I can make even better recommendations tuned more to their interests... Your channel has helped me alot recently... its a hard time for me, but watching your reactions, with Carly too, really brings back fond memories... You have reacted to many of my favourite films and I have been rewatching your videos with my kitty, spending as much quality time with him as possible... I know you have seen many of my favs before you started filming your reactions, but some you may not have seen at least from what I can tell... I am sure you will love these... I am surprised you haven't done Armageddon staring Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck, I know you and Carly love BW... I am doubly surprised that you watched Deep Impact many years ago now and still not Armageddon so I guess maybe you have watched it? Moon staring Sam Rockwell is a wonderful independent sci-fi mystery that is super unexpected... Owning Mahowny is a brilliant movie starring Phillip Seymour Hoffman... The 25th Hour is another great movie starring Edward Norton(loved your Rounders react) and also has a great performance from Phillip Seymour Hoffman... I assume you have seen Wall E, but that is my 2nd fav love story on film after True Romance... oh and another movie I think you and Carly will love is called Batteries Not Included... I dont wanna tell you what it is about but it is a very tender movie... I have many more but you will watch what you will and I am sure I will enjoy the reactions... thanks again for the much needed and comforting distractions...

Mom has the heart of 10 moms - plus one. ❤️ So, yes, Mark!

Frank Edwards

For the sake of brevity, ditto what CCG said , God bless you and yours Cassie

Fanny Adams

This is why I love this channel everyone is always so kind to Cassie! Love and best wishes to you, your little boy and the whole family

Collar City Guy

You're absolutely right Louisa, there are so, so many caring people on this channel and like you it is one of the many reasons I am here

Joe J

Wargames is hardly "ancient" Clay, lol. Also, movies like "The Andromeda Strain" and "Colossus: The Forbin Project" are excellent even though the tech is outdated now, never bothers me in the least.

Richard Maurer

Yeah, I just looked at the top ten myself. Mostly good movies. Couple of movies I like a lot, couple I wouldn’t mind if they disappeared from the list (Roger Rabbit wasn’t one of those).

Richard Maurer

She remarked several times she wants to watch it. I think she meant on her own time but I could be wrong. She has said there’s over 10 hrs of it. That, more than anything, is probably what’s holding her back.

Just Plain Bob

I came up with AN idea; I don’t know if it’s the way they’re doing it. Her response was gratifying, mainly because it seemed that it was something that had been weighing on her (my interpretation). It’s always nice when you feel like the folks in charge actually CARE what you think.

Clay F

Joe — an iPhone has more processing power than a 1983 mainframe. For example, the Cray-2 supercomputer, one of the fastest from 1985, could achieve 1.9 gigaflops (1.9 floating-point operations per second). The iPhone 12 can perform 11 teraflops (11 trillion operations per second) — over 5000 times faster than the Cray-2.

BlockbusterBrian

I full heartedly endorse this rec... Young Kevin Costner directed by Clint Eastwood with Laura Dern as a bonus... this is a fantastic film

Clay F

+1 for 25th hour (2002). Awesome movie. +1 for Moon (2009). She has seen Armageddon (1998).

bgb1975 (Brian)

Tell 'er, Blockbuster Brian! Great Brians (and brains) think alike!

BlockbusterBrian

I figured since she did Deep Impact... but it would have been fun to watch it with her for sure...

Stick Figure Studios

If I had to choose I'd prefer SCHINDLER'S LIST myself, but both are brilliant.

Mark Vaderr

Wargames is fun, and a good way to tone down the seriousness felt from The Pianist.

Stick Figure Studios

I just don't see her caring about those movies as much as she did the Marvel movies once she starts seeing what is in them (and I suspect she's going to get a lot of people advising her to stay away from them).

Mark Vaderr

Bill W, yes, Cassie is that predictable.

Mark Vaderr

Byrd N. Hand- Most people don't know how serious of a movie Saturday Night Fever really is, because all they know about it is John Travolta's dancing. Too bad, because it is a good movie.

Clay F

I like it when she makes an executive decision.

Mark Vaderr

Flag- Let's not forget the fate of the Jedi children in Revenge of the Sith, Cassie survived that. Even if it gave her an altered viewpoint of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader.

Mark Vaderr

Richard- What else would be on a poll like that?

Ted Whalen

Wow- it appears that Hulk Hogan has passed away. I still laugh about Cassie and Carly’s reaction to Thunder Lips in Rocky III

Anthony Carlson

Sounds good on what’s coming up this week! I’m sorry again about your son. I’m at a loss what’s possibly happening. If only Bones or Dr. Crusher was around… I’m actually excited to see next month’s package opening! Because I sent my first package and when you open it, I hope you’ll like it! Off topic: The legendary wrestler Hulk Hogan (Thunderlips from Rocky 3) has just passed away.

Geoff S.

Enter the Dragon and Jaws 2

Edgar Gonzalez

Just found out Hulk Hogan has passed away. R.I.P HOLLYWOOD HULK HOGAN 💪 Shouts out to all of you Hulkamaniacs out there!

Anthony Carlson

2/3 of the NWO are gone. Scott Hall and Hulk Hogan.

PIE-oneer Day!? I am SO moving to Utah for this! 🤩🤪

His real last name is the same as my mom's maiden name. Never got a chance to ask if we're cousins. Go with God, big guy.

Edgar Gonzalez

Man, I forgot about Razor Ramon, i was a huge fan of the wolfpac

Mike Lemon

Does Suburban Commando (1991) need put on the 'should watch soon' list?

Ted Whalen

Mike- that is a good call.

Bill Maurer

I am a huge fan of "Man of Steel". I know some don't care for it. But with THE Christopher Nolan doing the story and producing it, music by Hans Zimmer with Snyder directing it. How can it be sooo ... hated? I think you will like it and hope you continue with "Batman v Superman - Extended Version" and maybe Snyder's (not Whedon's flop) of Justice League. Looking forward to yours and Carly's reaction. Nice of Carly to join in on this one, I wonder if it is the "Cavill affect" that made her want to watch this one.

bgb1975 (Brian)

Can't believe the Hulkster is gone. Will never forget his bout with the Ultimate Warrior. :_(

Clarence Newman

My wife's calendar is of Cavill. It has been for three years. I have accepted my new place on the sub's bench.

Edgar Gonzalez

Yep, I remember when the NWO invaded WWF, I belive this was during or after the feud with DDP and Undertaker. The NWO interfered with stone colds title shot match as well with The Rocks match, which sparked the whole thing.

clutchkman

Looking forward to these fun movies coming up and thanks for the pie permission... don't mind if I do 😄

Bill Maurer

I have to be honest .. if it is closing time at the bar and it's just me and one attractive woman talking and I am doing my best to "close the deal" and then Henry walks in. I am getting up and leaving. I have no chance.

Clarence Newman

I know wrestling gets called out as not being real sport, and Hogan himself has had some negative press over the years....but there was a time when the man was as big as Muhammad Ali. There aren't many sporting moments that beat Hogan picking up all 520 pounds of Andre the Giant and body-slamming him at Wrestlemania III. Larger-than-life man and a truly great showman. For those who haven't seen it, I recommend checking out Cassie and Carly's reaction to the Rocky-Thunderlips "exhibition" match in Rocky 3. In no way were our girls ready for what The Hulkster brought to the table.

Shehab Dawoud

He was a bona fide racist. It's no loss for humanity.

Clarence Newman

Another 7 decisions like this and I'll finally get Twins!

Edgar Gonzalez

Well wrestling story feuds may be scripted, but the risks that wrestlers take in the ring are very real. How many physical injuries have many wrestlers suffered trying to put on a great show for the fans? It pisess me off when I hear people throw the word fake a lot. I'd like to see those people get pushed off a 20 foot steel cage, just to see how really "fake" it is.

Clarence Newman

Gentlemen. I would like to put myself forward as an honorary Brian for this thread. Cassie, please watch A Perfect World. Yours sincerely, Brian Newman.

Edgar Gonzalez

I don't think he was a racist. Sure they caught him saying racial slurs that one time, but he worked well with a lot of people in the locker room.

Clarence Newman

Jaws 3, maybe - the 3D stuff is hilarious. But I agree about Jaws 4 - it's just plain bad.

Mark Vaderr

Looking forward to "WarGames". Greetings, Professor Falken. Cassie, all of us are praying for your son and your family.

WestBound

Good entertainer ..Horrible human

Shehab Dawoud

@Edgar He literally said on that tape: “I’m racist to a point” and then proceeded to throw the N-word out there like it was nothing. If that’s not a racist, then what is? Working well with others just means you’re able to keep it professional so you don’t lose money. That proves nothing.

Edgar Gonzalez

I got to go back and listen to that tape... I don't remember that "I'm a racist" bit...course it's been a while since I listened to it.

Just Plain Bob

Clarence, as an unabashed fan of old school wrestling (can’t believe they killed kayfabe), you’re nuts. “…as big as Muhammad Ali.” I respect the difficulty of pulling off a show five nights a week and the risks wrestlers took, but Ali was a legit athlete and the best heavyweight boxer of all time. He was also a worldwide cultural icon and, whether you agreed with him or not, fought for what he believed in (and it cost him the title). Am I a Muhammad Ali fan that wept like a baby when Leon Spinks beat him (when I was six)? Yes. But it doesn’t make his impact any less meaningful. The man was a giant. If you could measure cultural significance and impact, Hogan wouldn’t reach as high as mid-calf on Ali.

Clarence Newman

Hang on to it, Bob. You rarely have good ideas. Which reminds me.....EVERY WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE!!!

Clarence Newman

Bob. Please do not counter me with logical arguments I have no plausible defence against. This may not be the most wrong you've ever been and I may have to defer. Then again, Gorilla Monsoon whupped Ali and Hogan whupped Monsoon, so maybe he's mid-thigh instead of mid-calf.

Stephen Dias

Oh, when I heard Cassie was going to react to The Pianist, I was thinking of The Piano. I might check out that one too.

Bill Maurer

Tough week for 80's celebrities Malcolm-Jamal Warner Ozzy (been famous since the 70's) Hulk Hogan RIP. Prayers to their family and friends

Joe J

Clay - Sure, I know all that. What does it have to do with an older movie being entertaining? Does it bother you if someone uses a rotary phone in an old movie?

Ted Whalen

Yeah……comparing Hulk to Ali is a bit of a stretch. There was a time when Ali was one of the most recognizable people in the world.

Stick Figure Studios

Despite knowing of the film for most of my life, I only saw it for the first time a few years ago and it was great.

Bryan Erickson

In honor of Hulk Hogan’s passing; Cassie should watch NO HOLDS BARRED!!😜😜 For S’s & giggles.

Stick Figure Studios

@Clay F - Despite How advanced the technology has gotten since 1983, when you watch the WAR GAMES reaction, you will unfortunately see how -- like DR. STRANGELOVE which is even more ancient -- it's story is still thematically relevant today. :-(

Stick Figure Studios

I've always thought that HUDSON HAWK would make for an amusing reaction in a "so bad it's good" way. Certainly better than HOWARD THE DUCK.

Richard Maurer

Clarence - Funny coincidence, that’s one I’d remove from the list.

BlockbusterBrian

My vote would go for Gremlins 2 The New Batch or Suburban Commando... but I dont get a vote in polls...

Stan the Man

You can call BS all you want. It’s a real ethnic slur. I don’t know what to tell you. Maybe I should explain it? So the color of butter is yellow. And what is the color Asians are often labeled with in racist propaganda? It’s a term used from world war 2. Like, what do you think was “BS”? That I made it up? Do you call BS on anything you happen to be ignorant of? Again. How many times did I have to clarify that obviously she didn’t mean it in any negative way. But knowledge is never a bad thing and god knows there’s someone out there who may try to take offence. So it’s best to educate people on these things. Like I said in my comment. It seems many of you had never heard of it. Which is good. Edit: Oh and I forgot to say this in my OG post. The reason I said anything at all is one of the movies she happens to be looking at is a Bruce Lee movie. And so…well… do I really need to explain that?

Joe J

I'm also hoping Cassie continues with Batman vs. Superman and Justice League. Entertaining super-heroes ain't a bad thing in my book.

TheSingulatarian

The great Baby Boomer Die Off began a couple of years ago and is accelerating. I expect to see one or more to go almost every day for the next few years. They were such a large generation that there are a lot of them.

Richard Maurer

Mark V - The Room, Plan 9 From Outer Space, Birdemic, Samurai Cop, Troll 2, Fateful Findings, Miami Connection. All these will make you question the sanity of the people who made them. But I should have actually skipped The Room. It would likely win, but every other film on this list makes The Room look like The Godfather.

TheSingulatarian

I got to see him wrestle at my local High School close to fifty years ago at my local high school gymnasium. Hogan had just started in the then WWF and he wrestled the champion at the time Bob Backlund who actually lived in the next town over. Backlund beat him that day, but Hogan's day would come. Backlund just had no charisma at all, but he was the champ for several years. It seems like a lifetime ago because it was. I must have been about 12 years old.

BlockbusterBrian

@thesingulatarian its gonna be a HARD day when we lose Arnold...

Clay F

Joe -- I am not talking entertaining but relevance. From a computer hardware/software viewpoint, hard to get excited about 1983. Yet, 1983 computer hardware/software can be relevant in an historical aspect, similar to unearthing stone tools of prehistoric man. Plus, as Stick apparently indicates, the movie can be thematically relevant beyond the technological aspects. I have zero nostalgia for the movie. When I see the pics of two teens who unwittingly hack into a military supercomputer in 1983 while searching for new video games -- then starting a game of Global Thermonuclear War, leading the supercomputer to activate the nation's nuclear arsenal in response to his simulated threat as the Soviet Union -- I think how ridiculous. But the movie gets good reviews and I am hoping to like it.

JC762

I’m wondering about Wargames. Will it have the same effect that it did back in the day? Will the technology seem so old and hokey, that the main plot won’t seem very real? Possibly one of those films that many of us remember fondly but when watched today just doesn’t work very well. I guess we’ll see but certainly that is a trend I’ve noticed on the channel. Many of the older films don’t work that well if you don’t already have the nostalgia and experience with them.

Clay F

If a movie was focused on the ancient techology of rotary phones as a central theme to the movie, I would question the relevance today. Could be relevant historically. Could be entertaining.

Clay F

That's what I was thinking. Hopefully, the movie will nevertheless be entertaining, even for those of us who have no nostalgia or experience with the movie.

Mike Redford

An excuse for more pie? Pass the key lime! I think you'll enjoy war games. Always look forward to the live openings. I'm so sorry about your son and what he and all of you are going through. Thoughts and prayers to everyone

Joe J

The movie's premise still works fine IMO. I think YT engagement for Cassie's reaction will be reasonable, I would guess 50-60k in the first week. The film is not a forgotten film, there's enough nostalgia to push views up somewhat.

Anthony Carlson

The one thing we can all agree on is they missed an opportunity for a WrestleMania match between Hulk Hogan and Stone Cold Steve Austin…

Joe J

Cassie could watch the #1 requested film every month. Next up is "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", which I think I would sit that one out. 😂

Clarence Newman

Richard. You forget the first rule in a crisis situation - always listen to Clarence.

Geoff S.

RIP to Chuck Mangione as well.

Above Average Dave

Chuck Mangione passed today, as well. His hit, "Feels So Good" was ubiquitous in the 80s to the point of parody (parody being all things Kenny G.)

Clarence Newman

The only superhero I want to see is Captain Chaos.

My_Cousin_Mose

@shehab could we just not bring up politics today?

Clarence Newman

Because then you'll have someone to blame when it turns out to be a crap idea. I'm a very good scapegoat. Also, it might lead you to giving season 8 of GoT a fair shake and you might end up enjoying it. I'm trying to help you out over here.

My_Cousin_Mose

@Richard yeah it's very possible the length and number of special features has been daunting. I'm hoping this list could eliminate some of that anxiety. If you watch her outro of RotK there will be no doubt of the intention to watch it on the channel.

Edgar Gonzalez

Probably my fault. Just wanted to say hulk hogan would be missed... I didn't think it would trigger all kinds of points of view from people lol Sorry Everyone. Just wanted to say R.I.P Hulk Hogan, and shouts out to the fans. That's All 😃

My_Cousin_Mose

@ Edgar it's not even a fraction your fault. RIP Hulk.

Shehab Dawoud

@My_Cousin_Mose It’s not politics, I’m not talking about who he endorsed in the last election or anything of the sort. I’m talking about what kind of human he was. It’s morality. We can’t call out awful humans now?

My_Cousin_Mose

@Shehab not here no. We're supposed to be talking about movies. I have negative things to say about so many actors we see on this channel that I keep to myself because we are not here to talk politics.

D. T. Nelson

I've watched other young reactor's videos to Wargames and they have all responded positively. As long as you realize it is set in the early 80s there is no problem with the technology. It's 80s technology. The thing that makes the movie work wasn't technology, it was the characters and the premise. For those who did grow up in that period, the tech is nostalgic (I was the same age as the main character—being between my junior and senior year in high school when the movie came out—and was very much into computer science at the time).

Richard Maurer

Clarence - you almost had me agreeing with you - until you mentioned giving GoT s8 a fair shake. Believe me, I’ve been very polite as far as to what my true feelings are about season 8. I would put my true feelings here but I know that Cassie doesn’t like swearing. And she really wouldn’t appreciate an entire page of expletives.

Gro Do

Get your 5.0 inch floppys and a can of New Coke! WarGames is coming up.!

Shehab Dawoud

Again, I disagree with the notion that my comment was political; it's human. But I don't think I'll change your mind there. Maybe some of the people here didn't know what kind of human HH was, and we have the duty to inform people, so they don't celebrate a man like him. You're welcome to do the same when another human gets celebrated when he shouldn't. I've made my position clear on him, so I'll let it rest now. But I'll do it again if it involves another celebrity who was a POS.

Joe J

Baby got BACK!! 😆

Mike Lemon

Cassie- To answer your Thunderdome question before you ask it- same actor, different people in the movie. Also remember, like The Road Warrior, this isn't a movie about Max, this is a movie about someone telling a story with Max as a character in it. The Road Warrior was the feral kid's story, Thunderdome is someone else's.

Edgar Gonzalez

No shehab, your comment was not political and there is nothing wrong with speaking your mind. That's what free speech is all about. But yeah, let's let it go. Cassie has worked hard to create a patreon community where we can all get along. I hate to think that I did something to mess that up (even something that was by accident or mistake)

Mark White

I agree Clay, sometimes Cassie just decides to watch a movie and those movies are usually good ones.

Mark White

I’m glad you found the channel Brian, Cassie’s reactions and this community have helped me a lot too. They are a great way to switch off from the troubles of the world. Love that you worked at blockbuster, it was a regular haunt for me back in the day. “Moon” is a really good sci-if and one of Sam Rockwell finest performances in my opinion. I hope things improve for you soon Brian.

Mark White

+1 for Captain Chaos. If he had been in infinity war, Thanos would of lost! 😆

Mark White

That has crossed my mind too. Will Wargames still hold up! I hope so, because i am a big fan.

Chris Thom

Aww Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a classic.

Chris Thom

Got a big cherry pie from Costco but finished it yesterday. Could get a good carrot cake from Raley's but that might be moving into fat a$$ territory. Lol. Debating using my free pizza from Domino's. But I need to stop eating. Happy Pioneer Day!

Chris Thom

Seriously? I thought he would live forever.

Chris Thom

I've never seen it. Curious if it's any good.

Chris Thom

Greatest movie ever made. (Lol)

Mark White

That’s a really good point Mike, I never thought of it like that before.

Chris Thom

Video stores had the best employees. They always felt more like friends over the years than maybe any other kind of worker. Except maybe a bartender or something.

Mark White

Chris I’ve always been a fan of Wargames, but I’m just not sure if it’s my nostalgia getting in the way again. So in this case you will be a good judge of does it still hold up. We will see.

Mark White

Chris you don’t need to stop eating. As we don’t have a photo of you and your Avatar is the tropical background picture, my brain has had to invent its own image of you and it’s Al Pacino sitting in Franks office with the tropical backdrop. He was a slim figure back then, so eat away my friend. “Say ello to my little friend” 😆

Just Plain Bob

First of all, Clarence, you hurt my feelings. My mother assures me that I’ve had good ideas before, no matter what the rest of the family says…or my “friends”…or people in my local community…or the authorities. As for Richard bad mouthing “Every Which Way But Loose”, I’ll just paraphrase the immortal Ricky Bobby: “It won an Academy Award…for being the best movie ever made.” And Clyde is an absolute icon. PS: “Cannonball Run” still sucks.

Mike Lemon

Weren't they 5 1/4"? And the bigger ones were 7" and the smaller ones 3 1/2? I have a drive somewhere but don't want to go look for it.

Clay F

5 1/4"

Clay F

Who Framed Roger Rabbit gets good reviews so I would watch it along with her reaction. But, yeah that is a kind of movie I would typically sit out.

Chris Thom

Did and do gym and lifting so I'm pretty strong. But I do eat too much. Got on the scale a couple weeks ago and I'd gotten to 305 lbs. I need to diet. But there's so many good things to eat in the world. Lol

Bryan Erickson

Suburban Commando rocks, too! I’m not even going to talk about THUNDER IN PARADISE.

Mike Lemon

Carrot cake is a vegetable, it's good for you!

Richard Maurer

JP Bob - I’ll ignore EWWBL comment, nobody’s right all the time. You’re right about Cannonball Run though.

Catherine LW

Agree. And the rules here prohibit politics and religion. Too divisive.

Mark T

I would absolutely watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit, it broke so many grounds and is a classic.

Joe J

Hmm, I think my floppys are stored away with my laserdiscs and betamax tapes.😆

JohnnyUtah

Lifelong unapologetic Hulkamaniac man his movies were awful though. Always loved Thunder in Paradise!

Sean

War Games always gives me nostalgia for computing in the 80s.

Mitchell

Oh my God, War Games is so awesome!

Doc Larry/old geezer

Interesting week coming up. A roller coaster of emotions I’m expecting. I do have one problem with the pianist. That’s the director a horrible human being. It just makes me sick. Roman Polanski is a child abuser there I said it. In 1977, Polanski was arrested for drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl. I usually like to keep things light on this platform, however I can’t stay silent about this evil. He is not allowed to come back to the United States. He will be arrested and thrown in jail, even at the age of 91 for such a horrific crime..

Mike Lemon

"Like, what do you think was “BS”? " That it is an actual, historically used, slur. I say that because there is zero evidence other than some website saying "trust me, bro." "That I made it up?" No. You can believe what you saw on The Sopranos. As far as I can find, that is the only use of it. "Do you call BS on anything you happen to be ignorant of?" I call BS on things that are incendiary but have no evidence, but with 45-ish minutes of searching and reading, I didn't see a single source of it being used before The Sopranos. "Maybe I should explain it? So the color of butter is yellow." No, I got it, but again, there is zero evidence (that I could find) of it being used, except for lettuce, prior to The Sopranos.

Just Plain Bob

Polanski was a monster. For years, I was happily oblivious. I find that I’m able to watch movies of his that I first watched before being aware he was a pedophile, but just can’t watch stuff made after I became aware - including The Pianist. I know we’re not supposed to punish the movie for the transgressions of the star or the director. The rationale being that others involved in the film shouldn’t be punished for the crimes of the offender. But Hollywood was well aware of Polanski’s past and actively defended him until the “Me Too” movement caught up with them. So I feel no desire to support the people that knowingly decided to work with him.

Chris Thom

Lol. That's pretty much what I tell myself. That and those Nature's Valley Sweet & Salty bars are purely health food. After five, maybe less so.

Chris Thom

He did a very, very bad thing. I don't know if anyone is purely terrible or evil. I don't know much about him or the case though. Sharon Tate and his colleagues seemed to like him.

Just Plain Bob

I agree that no one is pure good or pure evil. But Doc Larry’s synopsis of the situation was spot on. He DRUGGED and RAPED a 13 year old girl. To this day I don’t believe he’s even expressed remorse. Rather than serve time after pleading guilty, he fled the country. Other victims have since come forward, including a woman that was ten years old when he raped her. Some evil is so great that, though it might not be all the person was, it’s what they deserve to be judged by. Here’s a link to an article about other victims of his. https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20220914-roman-polanski-one-rape-case-and-multiple-assault-claims

BlockbusterBrian

I have been watching alot of the channel lately... and I have been quite impressed at how much Cassie has evolved as a film enthusiast... handling more and more brutal movies... Do we think she is ready for American History X ? it is a brilliant beautiful story about hate, and what causes hate, and how love and empathy can change a person... but it is a brutal movie... I would be very interested to see her reaction to it

Cole Jennett

I think she’s more likely to handle it ok than she would have been a while ago, but I’m not going to push her into it, even though I agree that it’s excellent. I’m sure it will happen eventually

BlockbusterBrian

I mean... you have to separate the art from the artist... Polanski only directed The Pianist, its not like he wrote it and created it... he took a script written from a book of historical events and made a movie with hundreds of people that tells a beautifully horrific story of hope in hopeless times... Adrien Brody SUFFERED to make that movie, the abuse he put his body through... Polanski is a monster, but most things in history were made by monsters... Music, Film, Art, technology... you gonna not drive a car or listen to Thriller ever again?

Just Plain Bob

EDIT: Subsequent to the below being written, the post to which I was responding was removed. My reply to that post was NOT directed to Chris Thom, with whom my past experience has been that we usually agree and whose opinion I respect - even when we don’t agree. Excuses. That’s all that is. You want to support a rapist, go ahead. To me it sounds a lot like “Mussolini was a monster but the trains ran on time.” As for others on the movie working hard or suffering for their art: so what? They could’ve done a different movie but CHOSE to work with him. A good work ethic doesn’t immunize them for scandalous decision making. For anyone that’s interested, here’s more on what Polanski did and Hollywood’s sickening defense. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2018/jan/30/hollywood-reverence-child-rapist-roman-polanski-convicted-40-years-on-run

Gro Do

Yup. Though i think 8 inch is the biggest. i never used one back in the day. Oregon Trail was on the 5 1/4 and 90s stuff like Doom and Wolfenstein were 3.5

Chris Thom

If she gets to Justice League I think it should be The Snyder Cut. Just an all around better film. Four hours though ouch. Personally I would lay all the way down with head propped up on a pillow.

Chris Thom

Just watched a great doc about the history of WB studio on HBO Max. Personally would love to see that kind of thing reacted to. LOTR special features would be near the top of the list.

Chris Thom

It's some kind of physical twitch. My friend growing up had something like it I think. It went away during puberty.

Chris Thom

The chat is fun, but as far as her involvement in it while the movie is on, it's pretty nil. She truly dials into the movie without distractions for her reaction. Respect. Beginning and end is pure chat with her though.

Chris Thom

It's pretty good, the tone is just darker and moodier than other installments. I think Snyder was setting audiences up for a moment in the future where he would go bad to save Louis.

Chris Thom

Indeed. Seems like an apt place to start a cult. lol

Bill Maurer

Agree, Snyder cut all the way. Break in it up and take a break at the halfway point

Mike Redford

She got through passion of the christ. I'm thinking she could handle AHX. I think it'd be cool to see her react to Edward Norton's character arc

Stan the Man

No evidence? Lol. My dude you just yourself said you heard it on one of the most popular TV shows of all time? A show known for its liberal use of racial slurs. And you’ve seen other people tell you it’s a thing but because you, Mike Lemon, can’t find an example other than, again, one of the most popular pieces of entertainment made in the last 25 years, it’s “BS” There are probably dozens upon dozens of ethnic slurs you’ve never heard. That I’ve never heard. The point wasn’t to say “Hey this is the most popular ethnic slur in the world, watch out”. It was “hey. FYI. Heads up. This is a thing”. Just seems like a strange hill to die on. “I can’t find an example so…BS”. Anyways, I’ve spent more than enough time talking about this. I was simply trying to let the nice person who runs this page know her term of endearment may be taken poorly by someone else. Especially considering one of the films she’s reviewing this week. That’s it. I certainly wasn’t thinking I’d be having a conversation where a person is saying it’s BS. As I said earlier, these are strange times.

fire12wife

Did Carly watch any of them with you?

Chris Thom

I think the Westworld HBO series might be the ultimate. Kubrick/Spielberg's AI is also good.

Mike Lemon

"My dude you just yourself said you heard it on one of the most popular TV shows of all time?" Here is what I wrote- "Tony possibly meant "burrhead" and got it wrong." "A show known for its liberal use of racial slurs." And if the Sopranos said "wet vac" instead of the slur for Mexicans crossing the Rio Grande, would wet vac be a slur? (Answer- no) "can’t find an example other than, again, one of the most popular pieces of **entertainment** " I highlighted the key word for you. Also, William Wallace didn't impregnate the princess and his kid didn't eventually sit on the English throne, even though that was in one of the "most popular pieces of entertainment made in the last [30] years." "There are probably dozens upon dozens of ethnic slurs you’ve never heard." Maybe, I would love to hear some real ones. Their origins fascinate me. "It was “hey. FYI. Heads up. This is a thing”. " But, it's not. It was, seemingly, an f-up on a TV show that people really want to believe. "Just seems like a strange hill to die on. " Agreed. I don't know why you keep insisting it is a slur despite all the lack of evidence saying it isn't. Weird.

Stick Figure Studios

I came to the conclusion a long time ago that this is one of those things that everybody has to decide for themselves about where they draw the line with regard to art that was created by someone that did something bad. Personally, I'm fine experience a movie made by Roman Polanski, but I don't begrude those who aren't and I don't think that makes me a better person or them a better person.

Chris Thom

Would be funny to hear Cassie say the 'not my bag' line. Didn't quite stick with her but I wish it did. lol

Chris Thom

I don't imagine her liking it. But it's still an important film.

Chris Tucker

And Ally Sheedy's in it to boot.

Sam R.

Cassie we are here for you and send Love Prayers and Hugs your way . You do what ever feels right to take care of your family. dont worry about us we appreciate all that you do .

Old As Dirt Bert

It was a preposterous movie when new, but it was a lot of fun.

Simon Robinson

In the dessert sun every step that you take may be the final one...

Rick Rodriguez

Alas, I've yet to be able to partake

Clarence Newman

Wasn't it Polanski who had a "policy" that he had to sleep with all the lead actresses he directed before he could direct them? When he was asked why, he said "It's how I get to know my leading lady." I kind of wish I could look him in the eye and ask, "How do you get to know your leading man?"

My_Cousin_Mose

@Richard when its finally finished I hope to hear your true feelings about season 8 with only a few well placed expletives.

Richard Maurer

Yeah, as I’ve said before I’m a ‘separate the art from the artist’ kind of person. I don’t excuse what these people have done, if they’re tried and convicted they belong in prison. But that does not mean they can’t and don’t create worthwhile art. I think this idea disturbs people, that a person who could commit such horrible acts could also create entertaining art. But no one is 100% good or 100% bad. Some artists just have more of a capacity for both in them. Then there’s the whole art being a collaborative process thing, especially with movies and series, but also with music too. If you stretch the boundaries of what collaborative means even writing and painting can be called a collaboration. But anyway for movies and series especially, canceling art because of one person’s actions means you’re canceling many people’s contributions to that art, people who, at least some of whom, had no involvement with the offender, or knowledge of their actions.

JohnnyUtah

Mania 18 vs the rock is my favorite match but part of me wishes it was vs Austin.

Joe J

Polanski is a POS, should have been locked-up for a long time. In this case, I would support Cassie skipping this reaction.

Doc Larry/old geezer

To my friends at PIB, I did not mean to start a controversy with the movie, the pianist however in this case what Roman Polanski the director of this movie did is so disgusting. He did plead guilty to child, rape, and fled the country so he would not go prison, . There’s no question that he has talent as a director, but I thought it was only fair knowing how much Cassie cares about children that she’s aware of this situation. she can make up her own mind whether she’d like to watch this movie, Skip it or make some commentary about the issue. I always trust her judgment when it comes to her Chosen path as a movie reactor. Much respect to my fellow popcorn Movie enthusiast.

Stan the Man

lol. Mike. What are you doing? Yikes. Let’s imagine, for the sake of argument, that the word never existed until Sopranos. It’s used as a racial slur. Entertainment or not. End of story. There are new offensive phrases made all the time. If sopranos brings a racial slur into the zeitgeist, does this mean it’s not real? But guess what? It’s a real thing. People here have told you it’s a real thing. But you fall on some lazy half assed “Maybe they meant this” “maybe they meant that”. And I’m not dying on the hill. See because you are saying “this isn’t a thing” and I’ve shown you it is. You’re wrong. I think you know you’re wrong. But because you started out in such a rude way with your “this is BS” you’ve now had to double down because you can’t admit when you’re wrong. A simple Google search reveals you’re wrong. It’s known as an ethnic slur. Now is it an out of date one, not used by kids? Maybe. Maybe not. I don’t know. All I know is it is one. It was used on a TV show and your argument that because it was done for entertainment means somehow it’s not real is embarrassingly naive. Again. I’ve spent way too much time going back and forth with you on this. You go on & search as many scripts line by line as you want. I’ve got a way for you to know for sure. Ready? Ok. You have a Chinatown or some sort of Asian community near you? Or a place where minorities have made their own? Ok. Go to the biggest meanest person you can find. Call them this phrase. Go ahead. Now if you’re right, you’ll be fine. If not? Well. Less so. (FYI please don’t actually do this. I don’t want to see anyone hurt but it’s a good mental exercise). Here it is on the list of racial slurs database: http://www.rsdb.org/slur/butterhead Here it is on the “hate base” ethnic slur list: https://hatebase.org/vocabulary/butterhead Here it is listed on wiktionary where the quote used in the sopranos is provided: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/butterhead

Ted Whalen

Larry- thanks for posting this.

Joe J

I fully support Cassie skipping this reaction if she choses to.

Mike Lemon

"Here it is on the list of racial slurs database" "Here it is on the “hate base” ethnic slur list" Both with the "trust me, bro" source, and notice the latter says- "Citations -None yet. If this is a valid term, please add a link to an example of usage." -with nothing. BECAUSE THERE IS NO REAL WORLD USAGE KNOWN. (emphasis, not yelling) "If sopranos brings a racial slur into the zeitgeist," They didn't. A screw up in a show doesn't mean it's in the zeitgeist. "does this mean it’s not real?" No, it being imaginary makes it not real. "People here have told you it’s a real thing." *You. You are the only one here that has said it is real as a slur. "But you fall on some lazy half assed “Maybe they meant this” “maybe they meant that”. " I'm giving a real slur they might have meant instead of the fake one in the script. "You’re wrong." Then cite one single verifiable source of it's use prior to The Sopranos. Heck, I would even like to see one single verifiable source other than The Sopranos, even if it's after the show.

Clay F

Skipping movies for these reasons you open a can of worms, but I do so with respect to Kevin Spacey. I have a hard time watching Kevin Spacey now. She recently reacted to Leon the Professional with Luc Besson. Like all of us, she has watched several movies (pre-channel and on-channel) with actors/directors having questionable personal behavior. The Pianist is one of the most important movies of our time.

Doc Larry/old geezer

Clay F I hear you and understand your thinking as I stated clearly it’s up to the individual. The Director (Roman Polanski )personal behavior is unforgivable. Watching the Movie is a personal choice. He permanently injured a child. We all have to make decisions based on our own moral compass. He’s a talented director. There’s no question and the movie is a masterpiece.

Clay F

Doc -- some argue that Luc Besson injured a child. Did you so advise Cassie in regard to the much less important Leon the Professional movie she reacted to? Did you advise her on reacting to Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood that portrayed Roman Polanski? Apparently horrific stuff with Kevin Spacey as a sexual predator. Did you advise Cassie about reacting to L.A. Confidential? I appreciate your sentiments big time, but her reacting to The Pianist does more good than harm, yet agree it a personal decision for her. It is a can of worms -- so many movies and series, actors and directors and producers. Katie Holmes was legitimately fearful of Tom Cruise. After all, the Scientology head David Miscavige was essentially a third person in their marriage. She feared the church's potential control over their daughter's life and her own autonomy, including after the divorce. She feared that their daughter (Suri) could be subjected to Scientology's "disconnection" policy, which can involve severing ties w/family members who are not Scientologists. But she was smart and determined in dealing with that.

Carol Rocha

Well, if it helps any, my cholesterol (all kinds lol) were way high the other day. I had decided before then that I needed to get back to exercising and eating right, so that kinda gave me a nudge. Let’s just all decide to eat a little healthier. 🤷🏻‍♀️ As a caregiver, this is truly all my entertainment and, well, chips and sodas go so great with a good movie! 🍿😄 But today I chose triple 0 yogurt with some fruit and granola. Not too bad. Maybe the crunch will drown out the chips calling my name from the kitchen! 😂

Carol Rocha

Not crazy bout Roger, either. lol. But to each his own! 😊

Carol Rocha

It probably doesn’t hit me like it did then, but I think people that watch it now are still intrigued by it. I know it seriously changed the way we looked at things then.

Carol Rocha

Cassie-praying the fog lifts, and the answers are clear & your son feels much better soon! 🙏🏼

Doc Larry/old geezer

Clay F I did not know about Luc Besson behavior. I appreciate the information thank you. When I was an undergraduate I read Mein Kampf I would not advise anyone to avoid reading or watching something because of the person involved. Just information to be informed. There is no doubt that the movie was well done however Roman Polanski is a despicable human being and at the age of 91 still needs to pay for his crime and not rewarded for it. That’s why I had to say something. To watch or not watch something is an individual choice

Stan the Man

Mike. You’re grasping at straws. This is getting weird now how much you’re going into the fantasy world of “all these websites made it up!”. You’ve seen multiple examples of it being listed as an offensive phrase. Like…why is this a problem for you? This has gone from a “hey Cassie heads up. Here’s a thing that exists” to you now going in full on conspiracy theory mode and all these places have imagined this being a thing. Right now YOU can’t prove this isn’t a thing. I can. So…isn’t it best to air on the side of caution? Like let’s be honest. The chances of anyone being offended are slim. I know this isn’t a commonly used slur. You know that. But this is a positive place. But look at you. Look how you approached this. There’s a million and one ways you could’ve said “Hey. I’ve never heard of that. Are you sure?” or whatever. But not you. Youre all rudeness and attitude. I don’t know if this some attempt at a “oh not another woke snowflake telling me what I can or can’t say”. All I was trying to do was make Cassie aware that this is a thing. Or maybe this will go down better for you. This *could* be a thing. How’s that?

Clay F

Thanks Doc for the reply. The Pianist is a movie that everybody as a citizen of the world should see at least once.

Ted Whalen

I use to have this type of debate with family/friends in regards to Ray Lewis w/ Baltimore Ravens (he was accused of two murders) and Michael Vick (dog fighting). I still think Ray Lewis is a complete scumbag (I will turn the channel whenever I see him or hear his voice).

Clay F

Ted — I remember discussions about Ray Lewis and Michael Vick.

Mike Lemon

"You’ve seen multiple examples of it being listed as an offensive phrase." With no single source of it's usage outside of The Sopranos and lettuce. The Sopranos pulled the "slur" out of their ass. It's fake, it doesn't exist outside of one line in a TV show. I have no idea why you have such a hard-on about this having to be a real world slur despite all the evidence (lack of) to the contrary. "This has gone from a “hey Cassie heads up. Here’s a thing that exists” " It DOES NOT exist, there is no know usage in the real world. "isn’t it best to air on the side of caution?" No. It is best to err on the side of reality. "Like let’s be honest. " So...are you going to finally admit this isn't a real world slur? "Right now YOU can’t prove this isn’t a thing. " Nice. A negative can't be proven. Also, you are the one who made the assertion, it is up to you to provide the proof (usage in the real world). "Trust me" isn't proof. "But not you. Youre all rudeness and attitude." Ahh... Your fe-fes got hurt??? "make Cassie aware that this is a thing." Again, IT ISN'T A THING. There is no known (verifiable) usage in the real world.

Milton Reduxed

That's not quite correct, Polanksi pleaded guilty to statutory rape and got sentenced to prison time and I think some kind of rehabilitation After he was released the new AG or something wanted to make an example out of him because he decided the sentence wasn't long enough, wanted to put him back in prison, and Polanski fled to France because it had become political Incidentally I'm not defending Polanski but the girl at the centre of it said although the rape was awful the legal process that followed—and is still ongoing—was even worse Also Hollywood is one of the most degenerate places on Earth, did Bryan Singer being a long time child-rapist prevent Cassie & Carlie enjoying the X-Men series?

Mike Lemon

@Byrd- That is what I was talking about.

Doc Larry/old geezer

Milton Williams Burrary Everyone has to make up their own mind about what to watch and for what reason. This did make, lively discussion. We can go back all the way to the 1930s the way that Judy Garland was treated during the Wizard of Oz. Roman Polanski drugged and raped a 13-year-old nothing will ever make that right. There were other victims as well according to NEWS sources.

Chris Thom

Good for you. That's great. I have to take blood pressure meds. Did bodybuilding for some years so there's a bit of a blur as to what counts as adequate exercise for me, and what weight means. All I know is the heavier I get the more my feet start to hurt randomly. Lol. On the plus side my legs get strong just carrying it around in life. Cliffhanger was definitely triggering the other day because my a$$ would drop like a STONE.

Chris Thom

It's an important conversation! And kind of a never ending one, not even bringing up abuse cycles and how that manifests. But it's interesting how fame leads to adulation. Adulation leads to power. Power in the industry leads to the misuse of that power, and more opportunities for such. Just look at what's happening with the humanitarian mess in Israel and Palestine. A lot of gray area there. But that's a whole other discussion.

Stan the Man

lol. I love your desperation. “All these places made it up! It’s a conspiracy I yell ya! You’re all in it! Only I Mike Lemonade may deem what’s an ethnic slur! And because I’ve never personally heard it, it’s not a thing!”. You’re a peach Mike.

Clarence Newman

Just a reminder that we are in the final few hours of voting on the polls below and, as usual, my films have pulled a hamstring. For those who are still on the fence, I would like to point out that Cassie mentioned in a post that she herself has voted for Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Therefore, I would like to table a motion that not voting for Lock Stock be deemed a hate crime against our Popcorn Princess. Can I get a yawp?

Milton Reduxed

I'm not saying it's right, only that he did serve the sentence originally handed down and then the state moved to punish him again and he fled. Even criminals deserve to be treated fairly, and in the same position I would probably have done the same if possible And there are all sorts of degenerates in Hollywood at all levels, it's a cesspool. Are we no longer going to feature Weinstein movies on the channel?

Doc Larry/old geezer

Milton Williams Burry Cassie and Carly are two intelligent, wonderful women who will use their own reasoning what movies they will watch and will not watch based on what they believe. The world is full of people who have done bad things. I would never suggest they should not watch a movie just be informed. I will not state what I believe should’ve happened to Roman Polanski. Even with that said if he came into my emergency room, I would’ve treated him with dignity and respect and do everything possible to take care of him within my power. My apologies for causing such a ruckus on this platform. I still believe it had to be said what this man Roman Polanski did.

Doc Larry/old geezer

Clay F you are not wrong. It is an amazing story and excellent filmmaking. I watched this movie. Needless to say it brought up a lot of emotion. I believe the information about the director Roman Polanski needed to be stated.

Catherine LW

What was also disgusting is the girl’s mother let her spend the night with Polanski. She basically prostituted her child. 🤬

Stick Figure Studios

I like WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT, so I'd be fine with that reaction, but I would love it if zhe could watch it after she first sees CHINATOWN.

Mike Lemon

You never actual read anything I wrote did you? "Mike Lemonade" Name calling, the last refuge of one who has no argument.

Chris Thom

Kinda want Cruel Intentions myself.

Vikingbard

we got PiB jumping into the Snyderverse before Wicked/GTA VI

Phil Stubblefield

One of my college classes involved writing assembler code for a DEC PDP-11, and our programs were stored on 8" floppies! Also, it amuses me that even though 3 1/2" floppies haven't been used for decades, many applications still use that icon for the "Save" command. 💾

Stan the Man

I had to go back and read wtf this lemonade business you’re talking about was. I thought you’d gone even further off the deep end. You’ll have to take my word that was just either a mistake of mine or an autocorrect. But given how much of a gee whizz swell person you are I don’t expect you to believe me. I guess best way to prove I wasnt name calling is ..well.. A) what a lame insult. I mean lemonade? Lemonade is awesome. If anything I gave you an accidental compliment. B) I only spelt your name out(well attempted to, lemonade notwithstanding) to contrast with calling you a peach because I thought, you know, lemons are sour. You’re a peach. See, I was going for a whole fruit theme. A bit obvious maybe. But doesn’t make as much sense if I say “lemonade”. But to answer your question. Yes I read everything you wrote. And I weep for the lost time I could’ve spent conversing with an actual lemon. Now excuse me. All this talk of lemonade has made me thirsty.

Clarence Newman

Cassie needs to watch Indictment: The McMartin Trial. Can I get a yawp?

Clarence Newman

Chris. It's ironic that you would counter with a film that has the word 'Cruel' in it. Why would you cause Cassie such vicarious pain?

Clarence Newman

Let the record show - Mike just dropped a like on my second post there. I'm taking that as a yawp.

Mark White

Yawp! Well I actually really like Cruel Intentions. There are some great 90’s songs in there. In fact poll 2 has a lot of really good movies in it for me. But Lock Stock was always going to be my choice. Unfortunately it’s not to be. Hopefully Cassie will decide to watch it anyway further down the road. We didn’t get Trainspotting, which i have mixed feelings about. For me it’s a top 10 if not definitely top 20 movie, but Cassie would hate it SO much! I mean I think it has a shot at being her most disliked movie on the channel. I should add if Cassie ever did watch it, she would need subtitles!

Clarence Newman

Yeah, Trainspotting is rough, as a serious take on the perils of drug abuse should be. I'm kind of glad it's missing out. Lock Stock, though. That's a lot of fun.

Clarence Newman

PS. Me and Wifey will be watching Cruel Intentions tonight.

Mark White

It’s a modern take on Dangerous Liaisons apparently. Very 90’s with that soundtrack. I’m not sure it’s quite a Clarence movie, but you might prove me wrong. I will be interested to hear your take on it.

Richard Maurer

We’ve been through this once (see below) but I’ll do a basic short version of my thoughts on this I’m in the separate the art from the artist camp. I do not support censorship in any way, and “ canceling “ is a form of censorship. If an artist (or anyone else) commits a major crime they belong in prison. But as has been made all the more clear recently the rich and powerful are exempt from this rule, unfortunately. Censoring a movie is (almost) always wrong. Doing it to punish one person who is part of a collaborative art work is doubly wrong.

Doc Larry/old geezer

Richard Maurer freedom of choice is my go to information is my go to. Informed choice about art is what I was expressing never will I tell someone not to watch a movie because of the person involved. Thank you for expressing your views.

Richard Maurer

M_C_M - when she gets to the “blackout” episode in S8 you will definitely hear my thoughts. Worst episode of any series I’ve watched. The S8 finale was the second worst series episode I’ve ever watched.

Joe J

Let's see, Cruel Intentions or root canal work? Let me think, lol.

Clarence Newman

It should be okay, Joe. We have pizza and rum.

Joe J

What Milt said pretty much sums it up, "And there are all sorts of degenerates in Hollywood at all levels". Many have accusations made against them, but have not been arrested and charged with any crimes...so what can you do?

Richard Maurer

Byrd - that’s censorship. “They” may not want to call it that, but that’s what it is.

thansen

Yeah, it's hard to understand why anyone could hate a movie with such boring characters, bad acting, awful score and a silly story. I don't get it! Now to me it was like watching a 2 hour video game and that's always compelling.

Kiss the Librarian

Holy crap, I loved The Pianist. Haven't watched in like 20 years.

Chris Thom

Cassie, reminder that you did say you would probably watch the top two from the Spielberg Poll and Duel around Halloween. I don't know if that legally constitutes a Prom Prom, but a case could probably be made. Lol

Clarence Newman

DUEL was not a prom-prom, Chris. It was a sacred pinky swear.

Chris Thom

We need someone with an advanced degree in Prom Prom Law. But I don't know if we have any lawyers here. But I am exploring the constitutions and legal precedent in all NATO countries, and Zimbabwe. As we speak. Pinky Swear Law is usually iron clad, but can be difficult to prove.

Mark White

Did you watch Cruel Intentions Clarence?

Clarence Newman

I did, Mark, and you were right. Not exactly my cup of tea. Decent cast, though.

Clay F

Empire of the Sun finished only 5 votes behind Duel. 3. Duel (1974) - 243 votes (13%) 4. Empire of the Sun (1987) - 238 votes (13%)

Joe J

FYI - In the "Jaws 2" premiere chat, Cassie confirmed to me that "Duel" will indeed be watched. To quote her, "yes, it will be a Trick or Treat, heavy on the Treat, leading up to scary but not to scary Halloween, Halloween LITE if you will"

The Pianist… A masterpiece. A film based on a true story. A brutally raw and harrowing movie about a Polish pianist hiding from the Nazis and World War II…

Richard Maurer

From other reactors I’ve found that free memberships are generally a joke. You’re basically padding their numbers while getting nothing or almost nothing in return. That being said I can’t really blame them, because you’re contributing nothing to them, why should they give you anything for free?

Tim Weaver

Well it's odd , because many in the community are pushing hard for Cassie to watch Taxi Driver which I personally find much more disturbing than American History X.

Tim Weaver

Ideally she does what many of us did originally. Watch Primal Fear first and then AMX to properly be in awe of Norton's talent.
