The Iron Claw
Never heard of the Von Erichs until they started dying. My interest in professional rasslin’ was watching Big Time Wrestling out of Portland on KCPQ and rasslin’ on WTBS with Gordon Solie in the late 70s early 80s. I had no concept of territories. And you would hear that Abdullah the Butcher or Andre the Giant was coming to town.
Decent movie. I like A24 movies quite a bit. Some of the story is left out like the other other Von Erich brother who killed himself.

Dumb Money. Decent enough movie that explains what happened with GME. While I didn’t make any money on it, I got in on the AMC run.
Apocalypse Now Redux. The added footage to me adds a little bit to the film. Mainly the Brando additional footage and a little bit of the Playboy bunny stuff. The French stuff could have been tossed.
-
Mrs Nacho had never seen The Matrix so that’s the last movie I watched.
-
Dune Pt 2
The David Lynch version is pretty campy compared to this version. Like Flash Gordon campy. Loved it as a kid, but this new version is great. I am guessing it is much closer to the book as well.

Airport 1975. I was 3 when this movie came out and barely remember there being an Airport disaster movie. We started watching this and couldn’t turn it off.
A couple thoughts, Airplane! mocks the shit outta this movie. I lost count of how many characters and scenes were parodied by Airplane.
The amount of sexism and sexual harassment was incredible.
There were quite a few recognizable actors in the movie. I do t know how many were “stars” but they were people I recognized. Jerry Stiller, Norman Fell AKA Mr Roper from Three’s Company, the actress who played Large Marge in Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, Linda Blair from the exorcist.
Finally, the lead actress was Karen Black who is nearly cross eyed. I got dizzy just watching her in the opening scenes.
All 3 Airport movies are on Netflix. Highly recommended.

Looking forward to watching The Poolman tonight.

Not a movie - but watched an episode of Tires with Shane Gillis on Netflix
awful. Just awful. Any and every thread on HH has better writing than that show. -
Swamp Thing. 1982
Fell asleep at the drive in when I was a kid, just never got around to watching it until this weekend. Totally worth it to see Adrienne Barbeau bouncing around and taking a bath in a swamp.
The Joy of Sex. 1984
How did I miss the teen sex comedy??? Not very good. Has Christopher Lloyd and Ernie Hudson. The main girl was Mudy from Revenge of the nerds. She looked great in this. -
Ive enjoyed Swamp Thing many times over the years. I know I've seen (and probably deposited some of my best swimmers into a sock afterward) the other one too, but can't really remember anything about it.
-
I almost forgot about Swamp Thing. With the complete lack of creativity in Hollywood, I’m surprised it hasn’t been reimagined. It’s actually a good candidate for a remake as I feel like it was closer to a B movie than an A.

Started a Battlestar Galactica rewatch on prime starting with the mini series
Still seems timely. Bad robots
-
The new version or the OG?
-
New which is now about 20 years old
-
Saw Poolman which I didn't agree with all the negative reviews it's getting. It's obviously not on the same level as Lebowski and Under The Silver Lake but I did laugh at a lot of it and thought that Chris Pine plays a decent stoner dude.
Also watched Bows In The Boat for the 3rd time since it's free now. Some corny lines really stand out now but still love it. The coaches sweaters they wear in that are fucking amazing. I walked past most of the actors that play the rowers at the Spring Game. The runt in that movie really is that small.

So you guysm still haven't seen Hundreds of Beavers?
Sucks to be you.
-
The Throbber has seen Hundreds of Beavers.
There’s a movie called that too?
-
Started Godzilla Minus One before I got too tired but damn, I'm pretty impressed so far. Essentially a WWII movie from the Japanese perspective that looks better than most monster movies with 1/20th of the budget.
-
Heard this is worth seeing.
-
watched Top Secret! last night. I was laughing before it started thinking of all the stupid shit in the movie.
-
I showed this movie to my kids when they were like eight. I had TOTALLY forgotten how hard they pushed R ratings back then!
-
Godzilla Minus One
To me it was OK. It was a more stylized version of a 1960s Japanese Godzilla movie
Lawnmower Man.
never saw it when it came out. I am guessing the effects were out of this world in 1992. -
Beetlejuice
Never had seen it. Had no idea what it was about except I knew who was in the cast from being somewhat of a pop culture junkie. I was easily entertained. Much more effects than I expected.
-
It's a great movie to get jerked off to.
-
Too perfect. MAX canceled after season 2.
-
I read that too. What the fuck.
That show could go up against most of their top 10 shows of all time, imo.
-
Finally got around to watching Band of Brothers, which is fucking excellent.
-
Mr. Church.
A decent Eddie Murphy movie where is helps out a family and such. -
DeathRace 2000
It was like Rollerball but with cars. Never knew Sylvester Stallone or Martin Kove were in it. And the woman who played Carmella in Last American Virgin was even in it. Some tits and bush shots as well. And David Carradine in leather speedo.
-
Chinned for the Carmella reference. Adolescent/early teen Chuck developed some new habits thanks largely to that movie.
-
Watched The Kingdom
Terrorism in Saudia Arabia where the FBI guy convinces a Prince to let the 4 FBI counterterrorism guys run loose in his homeland. Lots of explosions and high tech stuff. No one wins, just like real life in the battle agin terrorist. Of course the state dept looks like idiots so real life again.
Good movie unless you want the US to always win.
