That movie you just watched

[MrFulci]

The World according to Garp - With Robin Williams gone, and seeing coverage of some of his older films, I decided to revisit this one. I seem to remember bits and pieces of it from TV, but I think it was over my head at that time, so I probably didn't watch it all the way through.

Good stuff, lots of stuff happened I didn't quite expect, whereas other stuff I saw coming, such as the "fender bender" that caused someone to bite down, HARD!


Today, I have a double feature of, "In search of Big Foot" and "Cry Wilderness" to get to.

[MrFulci]

In Search of Bigfoot - a 75 minute pseudo-documentary from the mid 70s. Nothing special, I don't mind pseudo documentaries, especially at 75 minutes.

Cry Wilderness - Had I originally seen this when younger, such as 8, 9, 10 years old, somewhere around there, I'd have some nostalgia for this. Maybe. I tried watching this, knowing it was a bit of a family movie. After about 30 minutes, my brain felt like it was melting. So I fast-forwarded through the rest, and condensed it into 40 minutes or so.

I have never, and probably never will, watch Garp, Bigfoot, Cry Wilderness. 

Thank you, Fulci.

Big Foot is real. He has his own monster truck and is in beef jerky commercials.

RANDOM TRIVIA: Pizza Hut used to have a silly,giant rectangular pizza marketed as "The Bigfoot" ...the only reason I know is because my friends and I couldn't figure out if it was the most economical way to get massive quantities of food.

Pizza Hut is not real food....this when I was poor boy in high school.

Esteban, "The World According to Garp" is a very good movie. You'll probably like it, being a family man now, and all! Don't discount that film, just because I like, "Crap" such as, "Death Spa", and fast forward through horrible crap such as, "Cry Wilderness" and "Transcendence".

I'm gonna watch The World According to Garp. 

But I refuse to watch BICENTENNIAL MAN.

Actually, maybe I'd watch that. Not sure.

PLUS, I LOVE TRASHY FILMS and arty films. Well, some arty films. And some trashy films.

Over the weekend, I watched the Evil Dead remake.  I enjoyed it (once I got over the lack of Bruce), particularly the foul mouthed Jane and the tid bits from the original sprinkled throughout.

Over the weekend I watched "Worlds Greatest Dad"  It was marked as a 'dark comedy' and Netflix told me I'd like it because I enjoyed 'Death to Smoochie'.  Well, turns out I really didn't like it...

I was even sadder that this was one of Robin Williams' last film projects.  It's directed by Bobcat Goldwaith and does have a couple comical parts in it, but it really pushes the awkwardness and uncomfortable feelings in between character things that I'm not too fond of....

I saw the new Sin City this weekend. It was decent, not nearly as good as the first one. I would say maybe wait until its released on BD

[DragonmasterDan]

I watched 8-Man After.

I saw a TV edited versions maybe 19-20 years ago. I had basically forgotten the entire movie, so it was nice seeing it again after all these years and still being entertained.

Yes!

I have been curious about it (the old b/w series)...I didn't realize there was more.

This was presumably made in the 90s. I'd not seen the old series before.

There was a local channel in Chicagoland that ran TV edited versions of Streamline Pictures anime movies in the early to mid 90s. 8-Man After is one they aired as I recall bits and pieces of having seen it. It's probably been 20ish years since I've seen it and I came across it on YouTube.
