Well, this was not at all what I expected. I know I say that a lot. It was so so sad. More story than scary and I like how the supernatural element was kind of in the background. I don’t know why I like the teen/high school aspect in movies but ai do. Carrie feels like it’s on lots of must see horror lists so big check mark!!

Carrie (1976) - Full Reaction - Popcorn In Bed

Watch the full reaction to Carrie on Popcorn In Bed.

Comments

Andrew Taylor

Mike Flanagan (haunting of hill house) is doing the tv show adaptation from Kings book as we speak.uh ooh

Chris Thom

I thought he was still on the Clayface, Batman thing right now?

Mark White

Someone’s up early in the morning!?! Midday Uk time!

Andrew Taylor

He wrote it I think, then doing The Exorcist and dark tower series after

Dan M

It’s been awhile since we’ve had a really good Stephen King adaptation on the channel. And this one is at the top of the list in my book. I’m already cringing at the thought of your reaction to Carrie’s mistreatment by her overbearing mother and her classmates.

Big Lazy Dragon

Even though Sissy Spacek had been in several movies prior to this one, this is the one many consider to be her breakout role, the one that launched her career.

Keith Brown

Cassie-"Does she not have a Mom !?" Ohh boy, does she have a Mom !!!!

Big Lazy Dragon

Sissy Spacek would later play the role of Liz Garrison in the movie JFK, which Cassie has already seen, and Coal Miner's Daughter, which she hasn't seen yet, which is the story of country singer Loretta Lynn.

LukeG84

To my fellow Brits, this movie is currently on BBC iPlayer. No need to rent or buy it on Prime to watch this reaction.

Shehab Dawoud

I can’t lie, the scene in the principal’s office was maybe the main reason why I wanted this on here. It’s one of the funniest scenes in horror history. Of course the rest of the film is great too, De Palma’s directing, the performances, the music, the scene where Carrie snaps. A bit of trivia: The school where this was shot actually suffered damages from the wildfires earlier this year. Sometimes life just finds a way of imitating art.

Scott Macaulay

Stephen King bullies make me amazed I survive 70s public school 🤣.

Shehab Dawoud

I’m holding out hope that Fright Night (1985) will be a surprise reaction. It also has that High School/teen drama vibe that you like.

Rick Rodriguez

One of my favorite movies! I am Excite!

Chris Thom

Woah wasn't expecting that final jump scare to go THAT hard for you. That was like a test screening in '76 jump. Could've put that in the ad for the movie. I actually knew that was coming before I ever saw the movie because I'd seen one of those AFI shows or whatever it was on the "Top Scares in Cinema".

Chris Thom

I'd totally forgotten about the Cassie/Carrie mishap thing.

Chris Thom

Didn't realize that was about a real person. Only seen bits and pieces of it. Seemed like a great performance.

Shehab Dawoud

Lol it’s a top 2 scene in the movie for me, it’s so funny and absurd.

Big Lazy Dragon

The thing about Carrie is that it resonates with a lot of people, in particular teenagers, because every school had at least one outcast student that the popular kids picked on. And you were either that student, one of the bullies, or one of the bystanders who didn't want to get involved out of fear of becoming the next target of bullying.

Chris Thom

Exactly. Well put. Way more relatable than we want to admit sometimes.

Chris Thom

Don't know if anyone remembers that show Castle Rock that was on HULU, but Sissy Spacek was amazing in that. Especially the episode "The Queen". Major, major talent. The show was kind of a remix of a bunch of Stephen King's stories set to one continuous narrative.

Björn Karlsson

So you like teenage/high school films? Well then I know a perfect one. Maybe I've mention it before 😉😉😉 Show me love aka Fcuking Åmål from 1998. 🫠🫠

Chris Thom

Think it's free on Prime too. But not sure. I might have some add ons I'd forgotten about.

David Collins

If you like high school movies, you should watch "The Craft" if you haven't already. And "Heathers". And then while you're watching Christian Slater anyway, you could take a slight thematic detour and watch "Gleaming The Cube". Ok, I'll shut up now.

LukeG84

Afraid not. That was the first place I checked. You must not be looking at the right Carrie. There’s been some remakes.

Steve Holton

Yes, as Shehab Dawoud pointed out in an earlier post, “Carrie” was filmed at Pacific Palisades High School in California. The school was also featured in “Freaky Friday” (2003), so it’s a bit of a supernatural hub. George Lucas visited the school during the filming of “Carrie” as he was friends with director Brian DePalma and Lucas was scouting the young cast to possibly fill roles in his upcoming film “Star Wars”. Coincidentally, a real-life student attending the school at the time, Forrest Whitaker, would one day become Star Wars character Saw Gerrera. And a teacher at the school at the time would become the model for Star Wars character Maz Kanata, as future Star Wars director J.J. Abrams would later attend the school as a student. The late Diane Keaton loved living in Pacific Palisades and renovating homes there was a passionate second career for her. Sad to see that so much of that work destroyed by the January fires there. Aside from the loss of one building and several temporary bungalows, much of the high school did survive the devastating January fires in Pacific Palisades. Hopefully the community can soon welcome back the usual coterie of witches, body swappers, and visitors from both nearby and far, far, away. 😊

Clarence Newman

Ooh, haven't heard of that one for a while. Foreign movie poll, Cassie?

Shad Kanyak

When Piper Laurie does her line, "They're all gonna laugh at you!". Does anyone else think of the Adam Sandler comedy album?

Chris Thom

Omg YES. First time I ever heard that. When I heard it in the movie I was shocked. Lol. Friend on the baseball team was a comedy geek and practically forced me to buy that.

Chris Thom

Actually just saw a news report the other day on the filming locations that were lost in the fire. Carrie was the first one they talked about.

Shad Kanyak

It was huge with my friend group in high school.

Steve Holton

Chris, my family's first home was across the street from the school, and the backyard is visible in the track and field scenes of this film. Sadly, that home was lost and many of the surrounding homes burned as well. When the fire reached the school most of it consumed the baseball field, which is right next to the opening volleyball scene in this film. The fire did reach and burn down one permanent classroom building adjacent to the baseball field, but thankfully the gym, the outside of which is also visible in the opening scene in this film, was spared. That gym was also recently the filming site of Olivia Rodrigo's video "Good 4 U" where she wears a replica of one of our high school cheerleading uniforms. 🎶

K, Zachary

You know this was Stephen King's first novel both Piper Laurie and Sissy Spacek received Academy Award nominations for it. The idea of telekinesis was so popular they used it one of the later Friday 13th's. This movie has so many iconic scenes in it. They are hard to count. They have tried to to redo this movie with sequels or remakes. Nothing has worked or even come close to the iconic timeless original. One of the best horror movies of all time definitely top 15. You know I have a younger sister with the same name she spells it with a K though. My cousin has the exact same spelling. I usually sing Carrie Anne by the Hollies (1967) for her every time I see her though. I have to wait till tonight to watch this one though. Tom Petty said it best when he said waiting is the hardest part.

Chris Thom

That album was like $14 even back then. Crazy how inflation hits some things but not others. But yeah Billy Madison was big at the time. And maybe the golf one too. But not sure if that was out yet.

Kevin The Honorary Canadian

The conditioning that makes people uncomfortable with nudity is unfortunate. It basically is teaching someone to have a sense of self loathing for their physical reality.

Stick Figure Studios

CARRIE is the first Stephen King movie ever made and it was directed by one of my favorite filmmakers, Brian DePalma. You've seen a couple movies of his on the channel already (THE UNTOUCHABLES and the first MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE). He has been referred to In the past as a Hitchcock imitator, but I find him to be more than just that. He's a very visually stylish artist who makes films that often feel almost hallucinatory in their imagery, like a fever dream. If you are at all interested in seeing any more of his work, I recommend what is possibly his best film BLOW OUT (also with John Travolta and Nancy Allen).

Chris Thom

Oh wow, yeah I know exactly where that is now. So sorry for your loss. That's gotta be...I don't know what. Not a death exactly, but just the alteration of your points of reference and the new reality of those old places. Imagine it's rough. I never really considered fires or earthquakes, but then the town burned down next door and it was wild. Such a weird feeling. There's a movie about it out now with Matthew M. called The Last Bus. I know how attached I get to landmarks. Really don't think I'd handle it too well if it was my neighborhood or old school or whatnot.

Chris Thom

Carrie actually seemed to be alright with it there for a minute at the beginning--then her world descended down on her. And her mother wasn't exactly helping.

Chris Thom

They do have a real hypnotic quality to them. Snake Eyes was the first one I saw. That opening shot was incredible. There's a fantastic documentary about him and his work that's kind of a must for any film fan.

Stick Figure Studios

Yeah, I actually saw SNAKE EYES in the theater and I've always liked it more than most. I'm assuming the documentary you're talking about is DEPALMA, which is indeed very good.

Joe J

Remakes of iconic IP is always a big letdown. It's hard to write something original though.

Chris Thom

That's the one. That and the Spielberg HBO doc are two of my favorite movies about movies and movie-making. De Palma definitely has a real voyeuristic side to his work. A family member saw it too and they said he seems like a major creep. Lol

Mojo One Thousand

It was a good pull when you realised Sissy Spacek was from "Blast from the past", I have never seen "Four holidays". For some reason I had her role in "The Help" in my mind, which I think was seen prior to the channel, and "Liz Garrison", Costner's wife in "JFK". Between this and "Robocop", Nancy Allen ("Chris") plays a couple of very unliveable characters to me, a bully and a below average police officer. It's only a couple of years later that PJ Soles, "Norma" with the red hat, gets choked out and stuffed into a closet by "Michael Myers" in "Halloween". "Tommy Ross" is played William Katt... "who could it be?"... "The greatest American hero"... the popular 80s TV show, whose theme song probably spawned the best outgoing answer machine message ever for "George Costanza" in "Seinfeld". Also pretty sure Travolta was playing a version of his "Barbarino" character from the 70s show "Welcome back, Kotter" that launched his career. As Cassie pointed out, is little bit "Danny Zuko" which he would play a couple of years later in "Grease". "Tony" from "Saturday night fever" was also in there at that time, so he had a run of that style of character.

Steve Holton

Thanks Chirs. It was my Mother's birthday last week and she wanted to get together with everyone and see our old hometown. So, we drove through and saw what remained of our church, schools and former homes. It was quite jarring. As I wrote here in January, my uncle had the real tough experience though. His wife suffered a stroke during the stress of the evacuation and passed away. She is not listed as a casualty of the fire, but that loss put the loss of any physical structures in perspective. But on the bright side, my uncle came to live near us in Manhattan Beach and working on his new home here has been a joy for all of us. 😊

Jimmie V

Yeah, Carrie is a bummer, but I love it and I could tell you were really into it at times... I feel like it would have been a better experience had you not seen the poster and been anticipating the worst the whole time, but that's not something you can escape (not to mention, it's a spoilery kind of poster to begin with).

Joe J

He's 85, didn't think he was that old. "Dressed to Kill" would make for a good reaction I think.

That’s the thing about Stephen King so many people get wrong, and what makes his work so popular. He doesn’t write horror or "scary’. He writes well told stories—some of which have scary or horrific moments. But not all. Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, The Stand, Stand By Me, The Running Man, Dolores Claiborne, Hearts in Atlantis, Apt Pupil, The Dead Zone, Firestarter, 11/22/63, Secret Window… even the supposed "horror" books/movies like Christine & Carrie aren’t that scary. That’s not to say he hasn’t written some scary stuff. I had trouble sleeping for a week after reading Pet Semitary [yes, that’s how the book’s title is spelled], and parts of It and Salem’s Lot weren’t and less scary…. But even those were much more about story and characters.

Stick Figure Studios

"Who is that? He has a Robert Redford smile?" That actor is William Katt and you're right. He does have a Redford like vibe. I don't think you would know him from anything, but I know him from a TV show I used to watch as a kid called THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO. He auditioned for the part of Luke Skywalker (with Kurt Russell reading for Han Solo) because George Lucas was casting STAR WARS at the same time that Brian DePalma was casting CARRIE and they read a lot of the same actors. Good job recognizing Sissy Spacek from BLAST FROM THE PAST. I kept wondering if you were going to recognize Nancy Allen (Chris) from ROBOCOP. She was married to director Brian DePalma for a while (and the actress playing Sue, Amy Irving, was once married to Steven Spielberg).

Steve Holton

William Katt was actually cast to play the young Robert Redford in the prequel, "Butch And Sundance: The Early Days" (1979).

David Bennett

I'm one of the minority of people my age who read the novel before I saw the film. I would just like to speak a bit about how the story is partly about how religion can turn people crazy and cause them to make awful choices. Margaret was an insane woman who took out her psychosis on ON Carrie and totally messed her up. In the novel, it is made clear that Ralph was killed in an industrial accident at work before Carrie was born. In the movie, Carrie says that he ran away, but that could be what Margaret wanted her to believe. The 76 version was fairly true to the novel. There have been a few remakes that had positive things but none of them are on the level as the original film, in my opinion. There is a sequel which I think is just a giant pile of MEH. It's literally the same story and no one has learned a damn thing. It also features a young woman who was allegedly Carrie's half sister. If Ralph white died before Carrie was born, a 17 year old half sister would have been alive when Carrie got bullied into lunacy and mass murder, NOT 20 years after the fact.

Stick Figure Studios

Which is perfect casting. He also played the investigator Paul Drake Jr in the Perry Mason TV movies of the '80s and '90s opposite his ownreal life mother Barbara Hale. I used to love watching those when I was a kid.

Stick Figure Studios

The box cover art for the original VHS release used to scare the crap out of me when I would see it on the shelves in the video stores as a kid.

Stick Figure Studios

I'd love to see a DRESSED TO KILL reaction, but I don't see it happening.

Steve Holton

Those were great shows! Real life mother and son Barbara Hale and William Katt also played mother and son in John Milius semi-autobiographical film about growing up in Southern California, "Big Wednesday" (1979)

Stick Figure Studios

By a remarkable coincidence, on this day (Oct. 14) two years ago, the actress who played Carrie's mom, Piper Laurie, died at age 91.

Just Plain Bob

AMC+ also offers the first week free on both Amazon and YouTube. The AMC+ add on has an automatic add on of its own, Shudder, an all horror channel. Perfect for this time of the season and, if you don’t like it, just cancel the subscription before the week is out and it’s all free.

Uncle Phoenix

This is probably too early, and maybe I’m wrong; but I think that Cassie should watch Denzel Washington with Dakota Fanning in “Man On Fire” (2004) BEFORE she watches "Equalizer 3” (2023) with Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning. “I said what I said.”

Stick Figure Studios

That particular element is what makes CARRIE both universal/timeless and a product of its time. In '76, the climax with all the violence inflicted on everyone at the prom was both horrific and a kind of fantasy wish fulfillment for victims of building in high school. In our present age of frequent school shootings, it plays very differently.

Andrew Taylor

Creasey’s art is death…and he’s about to paint his masterpiece 😬

Just Plain Bob

Fantastic movie whose reputation as a classic is well deserved. But, rewatching it now for the fourth or fifth time (first time in at least a decade), I still think “horror” is the wrong genre - to me, it’s a straight up supernatural drama, with very little in the way of scary moments (other than the jump scare at the end).

Joanthan Skidmore

Has she let something slip, that she's actually AI?!?!?

Mike Lemon

If she is we are one step closer to that Evil Neuro collaboration I have been wanting.

Just Plain Bob

More Brian De Palma, please! Other great De Palma films include: *Sisters (1972) - a suspense/thriller starring a young Margot Kidder (Superman ‘78) *Phantom of the Paradise (1974) - a fantastic musical, based on Phantom of the Opera, but with rock ‘n roll and starring and scored by the legendary Paul Williams *Dressed to Kill (1980) - suspense thriller starring Michael Caine *Blow Out (1981) - probably the most acclaimed of De Palma’s films, it stars John Travolta as a sound engineer who hears and records something he shouldn’t; inspired by the superb Italian film Blowup (1966) starring David Hemmings (Deep Red) *Scarface (1983) - over-the-top gangster movie about the drug trade in the 80s, starring Al Pacino *Body Double (1984) - my favorite De Palma film, with Melanie Griffith in a major role *Carlito’s Way (1993) - Al Pacino as a recently released convict drawn back into his old life

Stick Figure Studios

Also, and this has nothing to do with CARRIE, but legendary movie poster artist Drew Struzan (the man responsible for many Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter and BTTF posters) just died at age 78. RIP.

Stick Figure Studios

Yes to all of these. Also, SNAKE EYES, OBSESSION and RAISING CAIN.

Just Plain Bob

Hate to hear it. The art of painted one sheets loses a giant.

John Rando

Yeah, he did the Back to the Future poster as well. RIP Drew Struzan

Kristian

Yeah, it's such a pop cultural thing that everyone who's ever even heard of Carrie knows that there will be a girl covered in blood, at some point in the movie.

MikeLL

Casualties of War (1989). Yes, I said it.

Chris Thom

RIP. Legend. But yeah he did do quite a few works for Stephen King so it is pretty appropriate for the Carrie post.

Chris Thom

RIP. Kind of surreal that it was today. I haven't seen Carrie in five years before today.

Goofaman

Come on. We’re paying for this add the captions to it.

Lana Gorgeous

I went to high school in the 70's and I assure you that corporal punishment was legal, and yes on occasion a teacher would use that including striking students, using paddles and making students squat in the corner. Teachers were definitely in charge, no cops in schools, no security in schools, anything that happened including boy fights could be handled by the ever present wresting, football or basketball coach. I'm not saying corporal punishment happened a lot but it did happen.

Clay F

+1 for Body Double (1984). Rewatched it recently. +1 for Casualties of War (1989).

Chris Thom

Rewatching it today, it definitely felt more like horror than I remembered. But Stephen King movies always have a compelling story attached that could also work as a straight drama without the supernatural elements. But with the mass attack at the prom, the blood, and the mom at the end I think it plants it firmly in the genre.

Chris Thom

That shot of the teacher grabbing the girl's hair was pretty wild. Just not something you see much of anymore. Looked very real, too.

Canadianant

Coal miners daughter is great

Canadianant

Wow that man is responsible for so many of the great s. Really a lot of those posters are as iconic as the movies are

Duke Pootentooter

For more Sissy Spacek, I highly recommend "In the Bedroom" (2001). It got 5 Oscar nominations. - Best Picture - Best Adapted Screenplay - Best Actress (Sissy Spacek) - Best Actor (Tom Wilkinson) - Best Supporting Actress (Marisa Tomei) It's a fantastic character-driven film that has largely been forgotten, but deserves a bigger audience.

LukeG84

Great reaction video. That jump scare at the end got me so good 😂

Clay F

First watch. I liked it. I like Sissy Spacek. I was in 8th grade (the year before high school) when the movie released in 1976. Oscar noms you mentioned were Sissy Spacek for Best Actress and Piper Laurie (the mom) for Best Supporting Actress. A young Piper Laurie was nom for Best Actress Oscar in “The Hustler” (1961) [nom 9 Oscars, winning 2] w/Paul Newman. Watching “The Hustler” (1961) would lead to “The Color of Money” (1986) [Scorsese] w/Paul Newman, Tom Cruise. I suggest that be your next Tom Cruise movie, though some might suggest Magnolia (1999). I liked Spacek (as country singer) in "Coal Miner's Daughter" (1980) w/Tommy Lee Jones. Based on true story. Nom 6 Oscars incl. Best Picture, Spacek Best Actress. The mom in Carrie was a weird one. “These are godless times.” Genesis 3:16: “Unto the woman he said, ‘I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee’.” Enjoyed your reaction, Carrie. Oops, I mean Cassie.

Lana Gorgeous

If you like romances and think you and your sister will love Sissy Spacek in a Coal Miner's Daughter. Not only did she receive an Oscar, but she did her own singing Sissy Spacek has endless and bottomless talent. She is one of the greatest actors ever. Oh and a treat of sorts one of her very early movies when she was is with a very young Martin Sheen in Badlands another kind of true story. She was in her very early 20's or late teens.

Lana Gorgeous

If you like high school themes movies here is a sleeper but an awesome film called Some Kind of Wonderful , 1987 staring Eric Stoltz, Mary Stuart Masterson, and Lea Thompson of back to the future fame. It is a fantastic little romantic comedy that may just bring tears of joy in the end :)

Chryss Guiler

I read the book before watching the movie, too. Carrie was King's first published novel, and it made his name. Interestingly, the novel was written as a series of news articles, academic papers, secondhand accountants and the like. This book and The Shining are my first two reads of King's novels and kept me on that path for years. From the introduction to the fiftieth anniversary edition: The novel grew into a book with many voices: the voice of Carrie herself—picked on by her religious fanatic of a mother, by her fellow high school students, and by the entire town of Chamberlain, Maine—clumsy, yearning, pimply, ignorant, and, by the end, vengefully telekinetic; the voice of a next-door neighbor who’d witnessed a violent display of Carrie’s telekinetic manifestations when she’d been a toddler; various journalistic pieces in Esquire and in local papers about Carrie’s unusual powers and the destruction of the town by fire and flood; Ogilvie’s Dictionary of Psychic Phenomena on the subject of telekinesis, and “Telekinesis: Analysis and Aftermath”; the voice of Susan Snell, the only one of Carrie’s female classmates to attempt to atone for the wrongs they’d done to her; and the academic paper “The Shadow Exploded: Documented Facts and Specific Conclusions Derived from the Case of Carietta White.”

Chryss Guiler

Ouch. Yes, I read Pet Semitary, but only once and have no desire to read it again. Other King books I've enjoyed re-reading, but not that one.

MGCR

Lots of typical Stephen King tropes in this one. Psychopathic bullies✅ Heavy handed slap against religion✅ Story set in Maine✅

Just Plain Bob

I didn’t find that part of the movie to be any more horror than Drew Barrymore killing all the baddies at the end of Firestarter, another movie I think of as supernatural drama rather than horror.

Carol Rocha

Have yall watched Silver Bullet? It’s a Stephen King film. From the 80’s I think. 🤔 pretty good.

Björn Karlsson

SML/FÅ can never win a poll on Pib 😩😩

Richard Maurer

Cassie - maybe someday you’ll watch the series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I know you’d love it, it’s basically a 90’s high school drama in the style of Firefly.

Damien beatty

Great acting from Sissy Spacek and the amazing Piper Laurie. I need to make this known to those who do not know Piper Laurie was great in many movies , but for me her Greatest role and performance was in the greatest show of all time "Twin Peaks" as Catherine Martell. One of a dozen or more great characters.

Philip Alan

I just spent some time at Angelus-Rosedale Cemetery doing some history work, when I matched up a few scenes from Buffy (the friend I was with is a huge fan, I am not). So that was fun!

Clay F

Three Brian DePalma movies I like: 1. "Scarface" (1983). Al Pacino. Michelle Pfeiffer. I loved movie as a young adult. 2. “Body Double” (1984) (creative) w/Melanie Griffith 4 years before she was in The Working Girl (1988) (w/Harrison Ford) that you and Carly reacted to. 3. "Casualties of War” (1989). Ensemble cast including Michael J. Fox, Sean Penn.

Clay F

+1 for Buffy. Firefly is nothing compared to the series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, right? Aligning w/Firefly is likely a selling point to Cassie, but a turn off for some of us. Both done by Joss Whedon. Outside of the rabid fanatical Firefly fan base, Firefly is considered Whedon's weaker work compared to Buffy. "Firefly earns its audience's adoration with the help of Nathan Fillion's dry delivery, a detailed fantasy world, and compelling storylines -- even if it doesn't stand with creator Joss Whedon's most consistent work."

Just Plain Bob

Nope. Hard disagree. I loved Buffy but also think Firefly was fantastic. Rotten Tomato scores are comparable, not that I care about that but it can give a sense of popularity. In its first season, Buffy averaged 4.5 million viewers. Firefly averaged 4.7 million viewers. Unfortunately for Firefly, the market had changed and the smaller networks were not willing to support shows with fewer views until they obtained larger followings. Otherwise, there’s no reason to believe that Firefly couldn’t have grown its audience and had a six or seven year run. “I marveled over the taut structure, with every episode a master class in structure, risk and stakes. Infused with intelligence, humor, and pathos, Firefly had everything going for it—including a tragic premature cancellation by an unsupportive network.”

Carol_White

Don't forget the nerd who goes bad.

MGCR

Is that a common King trope? I can only remember that happening twice. Carrie and the Langoliers.

Brian McGovern

Religion makes people make bad choices? Surely not? 🤣 I find it ironic in all seriousness. Religion should make people believe in peace, but the reality is far from that in too many cases.

Cole Jennett

Selling a show like Buffy as being in a different league that a show she adores like Firefly is just setting her up for a massive disappointment.

Walter

I forgot how this movie opened. Yikes - movies in the 70's were built different. I remember William Katz mostly from Greatest American Hero - loved that show. Spacek is fantastic in this movie. And of course Piper Laurie too.

Chris Thom

This channel is the only place I've heard of it.

Chris Thom

Good one. Haven't seen that in a while.

K, Zachary

She's All That (1999) Freddie Prinze Jr, Rachel Leigh Cook That's the name of it. We were trying to think of Romcoms that..... Uh (clear my throat) nevermind I don't think you have seen that one. Not that we are suggesting it. We don't suggest movies. We just tell you about Romcoms we loved and horror movies that my friends and I loved. Like Carrie, wasn't the nickname for Friday 13th VII Carrie vs Jason? That's what everyone called it. Paramount was grasping for straws with those movies near the end. This was of the most iconic horror movies of all time in fact it was put into the Library Of Congress as being culturally, historically or aesthetically significant in 2022. I saw this when I was like 15 or 16 that's when I started watching the classics. It blew us away. This was mentioned in Scream when ***** faked being shot he said corn syrup the same stuff they used for pigs blood in Carrie.

Brian's Dog

I've seen more jaw drops in the last. week than ever before.

fastecp1

Yeah, Stephen King loves those happy endings. The Dead Zone is a great Stephen King adaptation I have never seen anyone react to. And speaking of kids, Silver Bullet is another excellent Stephen King film worth watching.

fastecp1

Yep, I was born in 1962. In middle School, the teachers used us as punching bags. That slowed down in high school because the kids would fight back.

fastecp1

They all are great, but I would put Scarface and Dressed to Kill at the top.

Cole Jennett

Firefly is better than Buffy. Cancel each other out, lol.

Richard Maurer

Cole - There’s one problem with that - you’re wrong and I’m not. ;-)

Clay F

My quote above is Rotten Tomatoes critics consensus for Firefly [RT 77%]: “doesn't stand with creator Joss Whedon's most consistent work.” Firefly is a solid show and I like Nathan Fillon – the guy has charisma. But to me, the show is not the greatest that hardcore fans make it out to be. Maybe if given another season or two. Also, didn’t age well to me. For newer sci-fi = "The Expanse" series [RT 95%]. Engaging drama. Just as character driven as Firefly but better show than Firefly. I think Cassie would like better and become more invested in The Expanse, especially w/how she has evolved (and b/c The Expanse more seasons).

Adam Simoneau

Piper Laurie passed away two years ago today (10/14/2023).

If you want to see a totally different kind of performance from Piper Laurie, who did indeed get an Oscar nomination for her performance, The Hustler (1961) is high on my list of "most wanted" from all my channels, where she shares the screen with Paul Newman from The Sting. Many people probably want a reaction to Martin Scorsese's The Color of Money (1986), starring Newman and Tom Cruise, but it's important to know that it's actually a sequel to The Hustler, and you should watch it first.

When it comes to genre classfication, having managed a video store for 16 years, I tend to go with the the "What section would I put it in at the video store?" criteria... and unless the video store has a "Stephen King" or 'Brian DePalma" section, CARRIE would definitely go under "Horror," because it really will with under "Sci-fi" or "Drama."

Annie519

This is definitely a sad tell of bullying and abuse. Like you mentioned a few times, Carrie had no chance to have a normal life. I think what is so brilliant about the iconic scene is, since Carrie doesn't understand her power, doesn't know how to control it or really knows how it works is, it keeps her innocent and not a complete villain. Most of those people did not deserve what happened to them, in Carrie's mind they all were laughing at her like her mother said they would but in reality only a few people really were. You for sure know that it was in her head when it shows Ms. Collins laughing, yeah no way would she be laughing. And what makes it more heartbreaking was Tommy, he and Sue were being completely genuine. I like how it starts with him not really wanting to do it but only doing it to please Sue and ends up really liking her. Now, I never thought he had really developed feelings for her but did grow to enjoy being around her, could be a good friend and had kissed her to give her her first kiss and make the night special for her. And Tommy died when the bucket hit him in the head, which I was glad she didn't take part in it like Ms. Collins. And for Sue, she definitely felt bad for what she did pretty much immediately after the bullying. It's like Ms. Collins snapped her out of it and you can see in her face she realized what she was doing, like it was a mod mentality and that's why she asked Tommy, she felt really guilty about it and now wanted to do something nice for her. Her mother is absolutely horrifying, when she's just standing behind the door when Carrie goes up the stairs is chilling, she doesn't move a muscle and the way she smiles when she's just flailing the knife around is so creepy. This was the first book of Stephan King that was adapted into a film. The last shot of Sue walking up to Carrie's grave, Amy Irving was actually walking backwards. And her mom in the film was played by her real mother, she actually was very worried about her when she freaks out in the bed and you can't hear it in the movie but she called her by her real name.

Mark White

Thanks Luke, that’s helps me out. Cheers🙂

Clarence Newman

Haven't seen this one yet (I'll wait for the YT), but something has occurred in regard to Cassie's increased resilience. Remember when she had to pause The Shining and go get her husband to sit next to her while she watched the rest of the film? She don't do that no mo'. Yes, she struggles with content, has to look away at times and basically breathe into a bag to keep going, but there's no doubting how much she's grown. She's a brave little thing, if you think about it.

Dave

She has certainly grown in her tolerance for certain content, but she's a grown woman, not a brave little thing. She deserves more respect than to be objectified like that.

Clarence Newman

Objectified, Dave? Seriously? Do you not read any of my posts? You actually believe that I would insult Cassie? I probably respect her more than you do, mate. Don't ever accuse me of that.

MacGuffinStuff

William Katt. Aka Tommy in this, that's The Greatest American Hero lol! It was a show in the early 80s (I was about 6 or 7) with the best premise for a superhero show ever! He's a high school teacher from LA on a field trip with his students in the desert and a UFO grants him a Super Suit, with instructions, but he loses the instructions.... It's a funny show, high school teacher fights crime with the help of alien technology he never quite understands with the help of an FBI agent and a very attractive reporter. Very MIB, 80s style. And...

MacGuffinStuff

And... William Katt was also in one of the most underrated fun horror movie franchises ever: HOUSE. It's a legitimate horror movie but with a lot of comedy. He's not in the sequel but, HOUSE 2 is even better, more funny than scary. These two movies are cult classics that are really just a lot of Halloween fun. I think you'd actuay enjoy them Cassie!

Dave

I am serious, Clarence. Referring to her as a thing, by definition, reduces her to an object, even when meant as a light-hearted sentiment, for it won't always be perceived by the subject in a light-hearted way. I do read your posts and I am certain that you'd never post anything with the expressed purpose of insulting Cassie. In light of all of the purposeful insults and objectification that she has had to endure in comments sections and online (most of which is unseen by casual observers but is seen by Cassie and Ben, myself and the other mods), I'll just ask you to consider that as you post going forward. And this isn't a contest to see who respects her more, for you have no idea my history with the channel, with the community, or with her. I am very aware the respect you have for her, and that is appreciated. I'll not reply any further on this, you know my point of view now. Thanks for your enthusiasm for Cassie and the channel, have a great day.

Clarence Newman

No, it doesn't, Dave, because intent is the important part of any statement, not the words. It would be like suggesting that calling your wife "baby" reduces her to the status of infant. The word alone, maybe, but you add positive intent to it, it becomes something benign and affectionate. And if I thought for one moment that Cassie would be upset, even mildly, by that statement, I would edit it out. In a heartbeat! The reason I haven't is because a) I have faith that she knows the tone of my comments by now, and b) she often refers to grown men like Paul Newman and Chris Hemsworth as “cute” or "kinda hot", or fans her face because some “hot guy” is lighting up the screen. She doesn't mean anything by it, and every single time I see that, I smile, take it as the harmless fun it is and just roll with it. As does everyone else. You're right, we need to back away, because you still accused me of disrespect and I do not appreciate that. When you change your wording, I'll change mine. Note: Cassie. If I'm overreacting because of a certain heightened state of mind right now, just drop a like on Dave's original response and I'll adjust my wording. You know what I think of you.

Clay F

I remember The Greatest American Hero.

My_Cousin_Mose

I can't roll my eyes any harder at the fact that a mod felt the need to be a white knight over an innocent and well intended comment like that.

My_Cousin_Mose

Cassie I'm pretty sure you just went to a weird high school where there was no undressing or pillow fights in the locker rooms. I've always been told by movies that pillow fights are a common occurrence in both locker rooms and at slumber parties.

Clay F

Coming from Clarence didn't really bother me, but I do get tired of her (an intelligent adult) being referred to in what could be perceived in a condenscending way. It's massive. By the way, while Cassie has evolved, she could still want someone in the room with her occasionally during a challenging reaction.

Richard Maurer

Clarence - I obviously understand you meant nothing bad by your comment, in fact I’d have to go back to the op to remember exactly what it was, which shows just how innocuous it is. If you actually said something truly wrong I would be the first to tell you to back off, but that’s not the case here. And weirdly enough, Dave seems to understand you meant nothing by it either, but since apparently other people make inappropriate comments that we “never see” (I certainly haven’t seen any here in quite awhile) we’re supposed to be aware of that and compensate for it somehow, I guess? The over-policing by the mods lately has made having any fun here, or even simply writing a comment, hard to do. When you have to weigh every single sentence you make because someone might take it the wrong way, it destroys the spontaneity, and any sense of fun, that commenting had here. I used to look forward to commenting here, anymore it seems like a bit of a chore, because I have to worry that someone, usually a mod, might turn a slight offense, or no offense at all, into a major incident.

Clay F

The massive number of comments labeling her a sweet summer 'child' who couldn't handle GoT were made ad nauseum -- some here but primarily on YouTube. Maybe the comments were intended affectionately or to be funny, but I grew sick of it. I think many were actually to warn that the 'child-like' Cassie (an intelligent adult) was in for dire consequences. GoT S2E10 outro: “I love this show. It’s so good. It breaks my heart. But it’s so good. I can’t wait to see what happens.”

Richard Maurer

It’s kind of weird how this became, even if partly in jest, a Buffy vs Firefly thing, as I never meant for that to happen. Both shows were Joss Whedon at his artistic best. My op was simply to point out how Cassie enjoyed Firefly, and with Buffy being in a similar vein plus being in part the type of 90’s high school drama that Cassie again mentioned in this reaction, as she has in the past, that she loves. It never really needed to go beyond that, but here we are.

Richard Maurer

Clay - as I said, I never saw it (obviously because I’m not watching GoT and don’t pay attention to the comments on it). But from Dave’s comments I believe he was referring to something much stronger than calling her a “sweet summer child”. I think he was referencing the occasional truly inappropriate comments that I’ve seen here in the past, which were at least partly shut down by me and other patrons. But those comments have nothing to do with what Clarence said anyway. But you do bring up a good point, there have been many comments made telling Cassie that she couldn’t handle certain movies due to her being ‘too delicate’. To me, these comments are way more offensive than what Clarence said.

Clarence Newman

Understood, Clay, and I'm all for pulling someone up on a true insult or condescension. Not sure "sweet summer child" qualifies (that sounds delightful to me, though I'm sure you're referencing additional comments that change the basic intent), but we all have different lines. It's very important to keep this place as the "cosy corner of the internet" Cassie wants it to be, and the mods do a good job of keeping it that way. I just think it's a bit of a stretch if we have to worry about how to structure our compliments too.

Richard Maurer

Horror vs Halloween horror is another consideration. A movie can be technically horror (like Cloverfield, for instance) but not what I, and many other people, would consider a good movie to watch at Halloween (like Cloverfield, for instance).

Joe J

I would love a reaction to Silver Bulllet, but I know Cassie would never pick either of these movies herself. And these two films have been on polls, but never finished very high.

Cole Jennett

I feel the same way. I don’t want to compare them either, but if I had to pick just one, we already got it. I’d prefer Carly join for a rewatch than the entire series of Buffy, but that’s not saying I wouldn’t be ok with her doing Buffy one day.

Joe J

Sometimes I wonder why I bother being here anymore, I mean I can watch Cassie's reactions for free on YT. As Richard said, if you have to always be so careful what you say, what's the point?

Richard Maurer

Feel the opposite about rewatches. I really enjoyed the LotR rewatch with Carly, but there’s only one LotR. Nothing else jumps out at me as needing a rewatch. Now if Carly were to join Cassie in watching Buffy, I’d be good with that ;-)

Richard Maurer

Carol - Years ago, when it first came out. It’s was pretty good, but they tried to ‘Spielberg’ it - make it kid oriented, kid friendly - too much for my taste.

Joe J

Buffy is good but not a favorite show of mine. I love the X-Files, but would never recommend it for the channel because it's 9 seasons. Buffy was 7 seasons. Both shows ran a looooong time guys, lol.

Richard Maurer

MGCR - Christine, off the top of my head, would be another ‘nerd gone bad’ story. Personally I enjoy all the King tropes.

Joe J

I love Silver Bullet...probably never get watched on the channel unless a PAF winner.

Joe J

I never cared much for this movie, I mean the payoff is good...but a long boring build-up to get there. One of the more over-rated horror films IMO.

Joe J

The Hustler is a great film...probably never get watched on the channel unless a PAF winner.

Joe J

When I was in grade school and middle school, paddling was a thing. Just for boys though.

Joe J

I enjoyed The Greatest American Hero, my mom liked it also. 40 episodes aired over 3 seasons. Earlier 80s, never seems that long ago in my mind.

Richard Maurer

It’s not as good as other horror movies, for sure. Does drag a little if you’re not into the whole teen drama thing. I was somewhat surprised to find it near the bottom of my Popcorn Requests list, I don’t even remember voting for it. Must have added it on a whim while scrolling through the requests list at some point.

Just Plain Bob

Clay, while I agree with Clarence and others that the mod reaction to his original comment was overblown, I also agree with what you said about all the “sweet summer child” remarks. I’ve followed the GoT threads (if not the reactions) and the number of remarks that seem mindlessly demeaning/belittling has been remarkable. It’s like patting a grown woman on the head and saying “you’re so silly and naive.”

Cole Jennett

I’m less for rewatches of things that are already on the channel, but in this case I’d love to see Firefly again for the first time through Carly’s eyes and Cassie to see her friends once again.

Richard Maurer

Joe - while I’m not wanting another long series, if we have to have a long series after GoT, I’d rather it be Buffy, which would at least be something I could watch. Just covering all the bases, so to speak.

Clarence Newman

You must have accidentally selected it while accidentally selecting Cannonball Run, Richard. They're both on my wishlist so my gratitude is abundant.

Clarence Newman

And at least one full unhinging (the first time she sees the fully-transformed Brundlefly.) Reaction gold, I tell you.

Clarence Newman

Hold on. I can take most things, but I will not have Bob agreeing with me!

Richard Maurer

Clarence - You know for a fact that the only reason Cannonball Run is on my PR list is as a favor to you. So don’t push your luck, I could always drop it out of annoyance.

Just Plain Bob

How do you think I feel about it!?!?

fastecp1

Yeah, I know. People usually choose what's popular over what's good. Maybe I'll lie and say they are rom-coms 🤔

Just Plain Bob

I was starting to think I was alone in the world in liking House 2.

Clarence Newman

Negative, Johansson. I paid you for that.

Richard Maurer

Not at first. Anyway I could have dropped it already and it’s not like you’d ever know. I don’t mind leaving it at the bottom of my list where it belongs but if you’re going pretend like I actually want there, that’s a bridge to far.

Clarence Newman

Well, that's a deal. If all I have to do is upvote A Bridge Too Far to keep your CR vote in place, I'll bite the bullet. Speaking of Bullitt......Cassie!

Clarence Newman

By happy coincidence, I stumbled across "The Long Walk" tonight - a 2025 movie adaptation of a Stephen King (Richard Bachman) book. Well worth a watch.

Clarence Newman

On a Newman poll, it would have as good a chance as any.

Chris Thom

Forgot that was a Stephen King thing. Haven't heard much about it yet. Another Stephen King movie (or tv show maybe?) came out this year with Mark Hamill. Forgot what it's called. But think it's on Apple TV Plus. Edit: The Life of Chuck.

Chris Thom

It's called The Greatest American Hero? Or he played Captain America?

Chris Thom

I'm glad she didn't quit with The Fly. Actually thought she might cancel October after that.

Chris Thom

Feel like there's a very, very good chance she and Carly have seen She's All that. Right up their alley.

Clay F

Hold Down A ("Ames") (on the Poppies last year) has a great full reaction to The Hustler. She goes gaga over Paul Newman. The Hustler could be a PPOTM as prep for The Color of Money.

Lana Gorgeous

The Greatest Bully Revenge movie ever, remember the girl who played in Kick Ass and when she was older with Denzel Washington in the Equalizer, Chloë Grace Moretz, well she is in a remake of a horror movies in 2010 called "Let Me In "; when she was 12 or 13. It's the crazies bully movie and their comeuppance that I have ever seen :)

Richard Maurer

Upvote It Follows and I might even move CR up a place.

Joe J

Richard, Clarence...you two have hijacked my post....what's new (haha).

Clarence Newman

I did "It Follows", didn't I? I'm checking.

Clarence Newman

I apologise, Joe. We used to have a place to go for this kind of tangent, but we don't have it no mo'.

Clarence Newman

I tried to watch the Swedish version the other day but there were no subtitles. I found an American version, but it turned out to be a tv series. Apparently, "Let Me In" is the American movie remake of "Let The Right One In", so I'm watching it next.

John Rando

She watched The Lost Boys. Here’s hoping we get another one of our favorite 80s vampire flicks 🤞

Richard Maurer

Clarence - The remake is inferior to the Swedish original. And where are where are you getting foreign films with no subtitles? Are you buying them off a sidewalk vendor?

Richard Maurer

Joe - at least my first comment was partly about your op. I think it’s entirely Clarence’s fault for derailing your comment.

Mike Gallagher

Whether in the theater, at home with friends, or reactions I've heard a lot of people talking to the protagonist of a horror film. "Don't split up!!" "Make sure he's dead!!" "Don't go in the basement!!!" But I've never heard one say "Please don't be rubbing that bar of soap on your face." Wonderful. LOL

Clay F

I want to watch both, but especially "Let The Right One In" which has been on my watchlist for a while. Though, I do like Chloë Grace Moretz. "Let The Right One In" IMDb 7.8, RT 98%, RT Audience 90% "Let Me In" IMDb 7.1, RT 89%, RT Audience 76% Foreign movies typically get a little bump in the numbers b/c of foreign movie bias among critics (and with critics from home country or region piling on), and because users/audience from the home country pile on. "Let the Right One In reinvigorates the seemingly tired vampire genre by effectively mixing scares with intelligent storytelling." "Similar to the original in all the right ways -- but with enough changes to stand on its own -- Let Me In is the rare Hollywood remake that doesn't add insult to inspiration."

Richard Maurer

Clay - foreign movies also get a bump against remakes because usually the originals are better than the remakes.

Steve Smith

Since you're filling up Oct. with Halloween movies, does that mean Nov. will be filled with Thanksgiving movies, and Dec. with Christmas? So we'll have to wait until Jan. for more GOT?

Chris Thom

I think Chloe played Carrie too.

Lana Gorgeous

I loved Let Me In and especially the ending, but also the really terror filled parts. Plus I loved the actor Chloë Grace Moretz esp after seeing her in Kick Ass!

My_Cousin_Mose

Speaking with no authority no it doesn't mean that. November and December will likely be themed but October is special because horror movies are basically only watched during October. And I'm pretty sure GoT is only taking a 1 week break.

Chris Thom

This one is the old version from the 70's with Sissy Spacek. Chloe's version was 2013 I think? Or around then?

Chris Thom

The movies will tend to be more seasonal. Thanksgiving time she calls Tender November, so not necessarily about the holidays, but more sentimental or family picks. And usually two or three Christmas movies in December.

Chris Thom

Been curious about them since that House 2 quote in Scream 2 in '97. But I still know nothing about them or what the premise is. Never seen them on cable or anything.

Gray

GoT next week she's had the urge to binge it so I dont think she can put the show off for that long thankfully. Dosen't mean there won't be more short breaks between seasons.

Gray

First watch for me and i'm glad i saw a classic after seeing bits of it in pop culture all these years. I swear 70's horror movies have an odd whimsical way to them, I think it's the soundtrack they used back then.

Chris Thom

Totally. 80's too. A bit less cynical maybe. And they melded in the fantasy and adventure genres inside of them. Stephen King one's especially always had a bit of that Goonie's-like magic.

Chris Thom

I did know a girl growing up that had some crazy phobias about bars. Not in a horror context. But it was definitely encroaching on OCD territory. lol

Chris Thom

Great performances all around. Even John Travolta was good here in a mostly thankless role.

MacGuffinStuff

The Greatest American Hero, I think it's still on YT, I watched a few episodes a while back, first time since I was a kid and I got more of the jokes, it's intentionally ironic.

MacGuffinStuff

I was surprised the other day when some people, younger than me, were talking about House and House 2. They're kind of getting a second run as cult classics. Or third?

Clarence Newman

Richard. It's an app called Moviebox. Sometimes there are no subtitles on foreign movies, you can't put subtitles on if you need them, and there's even a couple of English films dubbed into a foreign language ("Juggernaut" for example). Tons of stuff on there, though, so it's a good one to have. That's how I was able to watch The Long Walk.

Clay F

Clarence -- you brave little thing. Hang in there. I wasn't bothered when I read your original post because I know your feelings sweet child. Richard -- you are a sweet child. I wasn't alluding to whatever egregious comments Dave had in mind -- but child I instead was alluding to how many seem to refuse to recognize that Cassie is an intelligent adult. They label her as a juvenile when she is mid-30s w/3 kids, and quite smart. I know you agree because we have discussed this. Joe - you are a brave little thing. I hope you don't leave sweet child.

Clarence Newman

Thank you, Sunny Day Clay, much appreciated. The only thing I would add is that context needs to be considered too. I am certain most of those "sweet summer child" comments were a direct compliment about Cassie's personality, not a jab at immaturity, and most other labels like that fall into the same category. Those of us who've been here a long time naturally develop a certain familiarity, and from that familiarity can come endearments that on the face of it might sound condescending. How else would you explain all the compliments I shower on Richard? For the record, I would not have been so offended if a new patron had accused me of disrespecting Cassie. I would've just explained it to them and moved on.

Clay F

Clarence -- good reply. I like your comments in the community. You are like me in that we both don't think of Cassie as a child and are pleased w/her evolution on content. You are one of my brothers-in-arms with GoT.

Clarence Newman

You had to mention it, didn't you? I was trying to forget about Cassie's heinous withholding of GoT content (mean winter child that she is), but your reminder has got me twitching again. This may be the worst Thursday (maybe Friday morning) of my life and there's still a week left to go!

Clarence Newman

I definitely advocate Meander, Bjorn. It's on my wishlist.

Clay F

Ditto. 8 days till GoT.

Richard Maurer

I would find another service to watch Let the Right One In then, before I’d watch the remake. There is very real differences between the two, not just in general quality

Richard Maurer

Clarence you “shower” me with “compliments”? More like a few drops from a passing flock of crows.

Richard Maurer

Phantom of Paradise is an underrated film.

Richard Maurer

You forgot to put the word ‘deservedly’ between ‘so’ and ‘unappreciated’ in your sentence.

Chris Thom

He must be friends with Stephen King. I know King has a friendly relationship with Mike Flannagan and he was in House of Usher too.

Clarence Newman

Steve - No way, Jose! GoT is now the heart, lungs and nasal hair of the PiB channel. Mose - Damn right! Chris - World's Fastest Indian and Vicky Cristina Barcelona! Gray - I will accept another short break between seasons, but only during next October. Richard - The Fly, Carrie, Blair Witch and Final Destination already watched or scheduled. If Cassie adds Horror of Dracula and Let The Right One In, you'll be dancing like JCVD in Kickboxer.

Richard Maurer

What’s better than 2 horror movies a week? 3 horror movies a week.

Chris Thom

I thought Vicky Christina was the tennis one with ScarJo but I don't think that's quite right. Also thinking said Vicky and Christina make out at some point in the film.

Jenny_M

This was such a fun rewatch with you! I forgot how much DePalma loves a split focus lens. Also, another great Sissy Spacek movie is Coal Miner's Daughter, which is the biopic of Loretta Lynn's life. She's absolutely fantastic in it.

MertzRocks

People had such curly-headed babies? In the 70s, especially late 70s, high school kids often got perms - even boys. There were at least 3 boys I recall in my class (82) who had perms for *years* of high school. Not me lol...

Clay F

+1 for Coal Miner's Daughter (w/Tommy Lee Jones as her character's husband).

Mark Vaderr

The bullies from Stephen King stories are on a completely different plain. They are the most vile, reprehensible people ever.

Mark Vaderr

For me nothing will ever top Cassie's jump scare from "War of the Worlds", because it was so unexpected.

Mark Vaderr

She definitely is brave, especially with how many of these movies she's chose on her own to watch. As for your comment on her not needing her husband anymore, it wasn't that long ago that she needed Ben to watch the last half of "It Part One" with her. I also wonder how she would have fared with "War of the Worlds" had Carly not been watching it with her. I still marvel at how much that movie terrified her.

Mark Vaderr

She certainly did. I never saw that re-make of "Carrie" with Chloe Grace-Moretz in it.

Clarence Newman

Good point about Carly. When she joins on a "difficult" reaction (like What Lies Beneath), Cassie is so concerned about Carly, she is nowhere near as jumpy herself.

VOCFM

its not that you couldnt drink and drive, theyre supposed to be in highschool lol. theyre not 21

YodatheHobbit

It truly seems to me that maybe perms on guys have made a comeback. I used to be the only guy in classes who had naturally curly hair in middle and highschool. Today, I see 50 guys a week in the college area I deliver food to with curly hair all in the exact same style. Either all the guys who also had naturally curly hair like I did all had buzz cuts in school, or suddenly everyone's getting perms with their sideburns shaved.

MertzRocks

lol. I was one of several naturally curly-haired guys in HS, but some went from boring parted-on-one-side hair one day to a poofed-out dude-fro the next lol. Most had blonde hair too that did that, but not all.

Mike Welch

Can't even see what ur reacting to because it's blurred out and you have the nerve to take my money

Popcorn In Bed

hi! so sorry mike, we can’t show the video because of copyright, we try to clearly state it in the tier descriptions before signing up but totally get that you weren’t expecting it. I’ll go ahead and issue a refund!

Richard Maurer

Mike - So you didn’t look into how movie reactions work before you bought in? Whose fault is that?
