Something I made last weekend - inspired from the show! Didn't get it across in time for a mention on the ET show but thought you'd enjoy all the same!! Let me know if anyone wants to fund a tech based cinematic universe!

Hey, this movie has Minnie Driver! I love her! Wha...? Oh. We watched:

It never occurred to me that kids don't get/see E.T. anymore. I definitely saw it in theaters but am young enough to not remember seeing it then. It was huge through the entire 80s though. So, for the younger posters here, did you grow up watching this? Are people here showing it to their kids? Also, this isn't necessarily proof that Spielberg is the greatest loving director, but people winning Oscars sure like him. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/oscars-steven-spielberg-is-thanked-775639

There were songs?

No doubt. Either way, it was the craziest thing I ever did see.

I absolutely was not a fan of the music. The songs themselves were awful, and the actual singing was cringe-worthy. I found myself skipping forward through a lot of them because I just couldn't. I kept wishing I was watching Sleepaway Camp instead. I'm coming late to the game on on this one. This was a bad and not particularly enjoyably bad one. The casting couch scenes bothered me a lot and I don't have much to add on that that hasn't already been said. Regarding the twins' ages, I did have the feeling that the twins were maybe just entering their last year of high school, or maybe had just graduated. I got the sense that this was a pre-college time for them and their last summer they had to be at the camp, so I'd put them at 18. I was also bothered by how Camille decorated the inside of that pantry door like a high school locker with a shrine to her mom. Is that a thing in kitchens - to decorate the inside of your pantry doors?

On one hand, I noticed the poster, noticed the twins, and knew Meatloaf was in this on some level, but had no idea he was the camp director/murderer 1 until Monday.

I had no idea there were Les Producerables posters either....

aw shucks my popcorn gallery question didn't get picked this week. oh well, hopefully my friends were amused by it at the least! maybe a little puff of air huffed out of your nose. see you all again friday night and we can mix it up all over again!! never gets any less fun oh and another thing, great ep

Hold up. They were twins?!

I had 2 sensible chuckles. First one was when the kids are arriving at camp and the kid in glasses says that someone beat him up for liking musicals and it was his dad. I can't remember the second one...

I thought the singers were fine, really, for young Canadian Idol quality performers. To me, the songs were just so bad that nobody could save them. I just was browsing through Wiki. The lead actress has an EP under the pseudonym of Sureilla. Spotify, here I come

And fewer murders.

This also shows how bad this movie is if none of us can agree how old these fucking characters are lol

Her situation is different because Meatloaf is basically her guardian and owns the camp so she got put to work. It's like Demi Lovato in Camp Rock (omg we should do that for MM one week lol), her mom is the head chef and is basically using her daughter as an extra set of hands.

Tales From Blockbuster is turning into a real sexual album. Kinkshaming Dolphins are going to become the next Marvin Gaye. Think of all the babies Jason could demand people give to him because of these songs!

June needs a song called Whores and Mothers (We're Both) .

Minnie Driver sure is in a lot of musical based movies where she barely sings... Anyway this movie was disappointing to me. I think AlmostAGhost said it best on Letterboxd that a slasher movie poking fun at musical culture is a great idea but it leans way too hard into the trying to be a genuine funny musical that it loses all the charm.

Yes. And their first album should be called Tales from Blockbuster and the lead single should be "Mom (Let's French Kiss)" with the B-Side "It's Not Making Love (It's Called Fuckin')." What are some other possible tracks on the album?

Can we name the band Kinkshaming Dolphins?

I think this was on Prime, but it got removed. If you all want to save a couple bucks, it is available on the add-on channels “Monsters and Nightmares” and “Magnolia.” I just signed up for the free trial and cancelled right away

Yas! A tambourine! And maybe Jessica St Clair on the clam piano...and a giant shark.

Were we also kinkshaming the dolphins? Asking for a friend.

Katie... No girl. No. You need to ghost him. NOW! There's being kinky and there's demanding you say you have a life altering diseases people die from. What's next? smallpox or he is only into STI's? I mean I know my all time favorite bad movie Showgirls has the line "Everybody got AIDS and shit" but if your gonna try roleplaying Showgirls there's so many better moments.
