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.

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.

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.  :mrgreen:

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

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.

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.
