Calling it! @theworstbuddhist, whatchoo got?

It's almost your time.

I didn't realize there was an updated list. Pinned that thread instead!

Take your time We know you’re good for it.

All that wanting to be ready for my pick and instead I get to do a last-minute one! Will have it shortly

An oversized tie-dye t-shirt with Bart Simpson passing you a blunt that says “I Can See Clearly Now My Brain Is Gone” is perfectly acceptable attire for casual Friday, I don’t understand why you’re firing me.

Thank you sir or madam.

Did someone fart in here or are we finally having that leftover turkey?

I mean to say fantastic, not "bantastic." sorry guys.

This episode was bantastic

I've never wanted a submission to win more than I want this one to win

Still waiting Still waiting

I'm very sorry to hear that, @Cinco DeNio. I hope you stay well and we all look forward to your return. Take care.

I'll be in and out for the next few days. (I know! Impressive!) Heading to Michigan for the funeral of a childhood-and-since friend who passed unexpectedly on Friday. Also keep my boss Rob in your thoughts. His dad passed away on August 24th and his mom yesterday. I don't know what from.

My sanity hinged on the understanding that this was butter.

I think both of these movies are favorites of John McAfee and his how he modeled the recent years of his life.

I found the updated list too, though it doesn't seem to match the current order? I just want to plan my pick if it's coming haha

Thanks man, I'm so frazzled I forgot to even do what I said I was going to do...

I pinned it to the top of the HDTGM forum. @Cameron H.'s initial post has the full list.

Parents spanking their kids? Questionable. Kids spanking their parents? Unquestionably weird.

I don't know how common it was but it certainly has been a thing in the past for directors to "distress" or otherwise interfere with unexposed film in order to "bake in" a special effect. I remember the commentary track for Pitch Black talked about taking a gamble on some kind of chemical bath that didn't work out the way they hoped. It would all be done in AfterEffects now, of course, at very little cost compared to working with film. That's what makes the opening joke about VFX coming extra funny to me - anyone with a Creative Cloud subscription, ie. every living filmmaker, should be able to create that effect with stock materials and filters. Not a movie quality result but no worse than the rest of this turd of a film.

I enjoyed all of this post but this in particular caught my fancy. Thank you.

YES! My recollection is also that Cannibal actually pulls off the cheap, schlocky horror/comedy combo that Velocipastor falters on by half-parodying and half-emulating.

Let’s go ahead and address the elephant in the room. What’s up, Jumbo?
