ummmm that was the Bahamas for a good while.. 1 channel with a bunch of crappy programming
then we had a massive satellite that was a game changer.. but that went down during hurricane Andrew.. so I'd say that was the Bahamas til like 1990ish or so

Miss Peregrine's looks like an X-men/Harry Potter hybrid.

^^^ Worst thing was when you fell asleep to something normal and woke up to the snow. **** was freaky to me even before I saw Poltergeist or anything like it.

Got me reminiscing about my grandma having a tv on top of a broken tv.
The knob play
Playing with the hue making everyone green.

Never knew there was an original M7, but should have figured as much since nearly everything Hollywood churns out is regurgitated.Did you see The Hateful 8?
Have you seen the OG Magnificent 7 or the 7 Samurai?
Trust, the M7 isn't going to be great dialog and then everybody dying lite. Straight up action western flick.
And I didn't mean the lite comment as a knock on Hateful 8. I love Hateful 8. I've got it, seen it 3 times, will watch many more times.
I just meant that M7 seemed like a collection of different types of shady people coming together for a good, ol' fashioned western shootout that takes place in the final 3rd of a movie that built up the shootout the entire time. Not that that's bad, but rather that I've just seen that done.
I don't remember that honestly.
I remember few channels, but not the midnight snow.
My 5 comedies:
Wedding Crashers
Liar Liar
Me Myself and Irene
Happy Gilmore
Something About Mary

Oh my GAAAWD, Me, Myself and Irene had me CRYING.
Irene, Liar, Ace, Mask, Almighty... Jim Carrey was something FIERCE at one point in time.

A lot of "true horror" classics were omitted in favor of more Halloweeny type flicks. Most of the really scary stuff was voted against, but here is the Facebook group list for the 31 days. Only Friday the 13th on the 13th and Hocus Pocus on the 31st were date specific.

I didn't think you were implying TH8 was bad for having that format.Never knew there was an original M7, but should have figured as much since nearly everything Hollywood churns out is regurgitated.Did you see The Hateful 8?
Have you seen the OG Magnificent 7 or the 7 Samurai?

I took "lite" as not as good version as TH8. TM7 only got the western genre in common really. They'll be shootouts from the middle of the 2nd act on after the gather the team part.

In his prime, no.
Sorta like the rest of the great/iconic actors (Hanks, DeNiro, Pacino, etc.) he's kinda coasting. You know what you pretty much gonna get with a Denzel flick. He's not affilated with bad movies so it's just about if you gonna be in to him doing his thing and then enjoying the rest of the movie. Sometimes he'll surprise you.
Like, I really dug Flight. That was a well written movie. Just a good story that engaged me.
But then there's stuff like the Book of Eli that isn't all that good but okay. I mean it had Denzel and Oldman in it.
Also, The Equalizer which was good for the type of old man Liam Neeson flick it was.
I was more apprehensive about the Magnificent 7 cuz it was a Fuqua flick more than Denzel being the lead.
All in all, it looks like it'll be a fun action movie that will have good writing at best. I don't expect to be raving like it rivals the OG or what it's adapted from but a Hollywood remake that did not bomb.

MAN, listen!
It's between this film and Passengers for my most anticipated film of 2016.
I'm still salty LA LA Land isn't part of the New York Film Festival.
This two month wait is killing me. Contemplated flying to Chicago in a couple weeks to see it during their annual festival
Yes, it's that serious. Film = My Drug

exactly what the ads are saying.
Honestly, did not catch that part of the trailer I saw. That's funny. But if they can sell it that way, hey, more power to them.

I've seen Me, Myself and Irene many times at this point and not all of it is as funny to me as it used to be. But this makes me laugh out loud every time.
(spoiler because there is some coarse language involved) Every time.

Rolling Stone just released a list of the Top 100 TV shows of all time. The list was compiled based on a poll of a bunch of people in the TV industry. Ratings were (allegedly) not a factor in the voting; just overall quality.
