Lando

I hope they pick some good ones for you in Austin. Are there any Austin based bad movies that you know of?

That would be an improvement. We discovered this YouTube channel called "Little Baby Bum" that CGI animates children's songs and our son loves it (nothing else seems to do it for him). We use it sparingly, but the songs have been rotating through my head for the past week. I would welcome Yah Mo B There.

So sorry to hear. (I'm never quite sure how to react online to a post like this, I "liked" it as a show of sympathy and not as a "like" of what happened.)

Has anyone seen the documentary Tab Hunter Confidential? I saw it on Netflix a while back and had added it to my queue because it looked interesting. I haven't watched it yet, but I wonder if it touches upon Grease 2.

I don't think I have paid this little attention to an HDTGM movie since Sharknado 3. I can't think of too many movies where I have cared less about the characters. The school could have exploded and every character would have died and I really wouldn't have cared. I honestly enjoyed The Apple way way more than Grease 2 (and TBH I probably liked The Apple more than most popular musicals). That said, I am trying to decide whether "Reproduction" or "Coming" from The Apple is the more subtle metaphor for sex. a couple of lines had me really scratching my head, did they think these were supposed to be clever? "Are you free on Saturday?" "Of course I'm free. It's in the constitution" "I gotta write an essay on the fall of Rome. I didn't even know they were in trouble."

Hah, love the nickname Turd Furguson! For the record, I would have probably called Hank "Lando" if it was solely up to me to name him.

It's like one side of my brain is convinced that he's Joe Piscopo and the other side is like "no you dummy, that's Shooter McGavin" but the side that thinks it's Piscopo is stronger.

That pisses me off so much. Back in July we had to euthanize our 13 year old beagle mutt because the signs pointed to him having a brain tumor and got to the point where he was in really bad shape. It was a big adjustment getting used to life without him, however, this past weekend we adopted an incredibly lovable schipperke mix who is missing his hind leg. Apparently the previous owners didn't take the best care of him and he got hit by a car and didn't get to a vet until 24 hours after he had been hit and had to have the leg removed. It makes me sad to think that this lovable creature would be neglected like that, but he is now with us and has quickly become a member of the family. (I didn't want that to sound like a humble brag, it is a bit of a covert news drop though and we really are happy to have him in our home) Here's a picture of our new boy Hank:

I have always hated him too, but I thought he was beloved (much like Grease).

It's like this part of Van Halen "Unchained" Woo hoo! Take a look at this! Hey man, that suit is you! Woo-whee! You'll get some leg tonight for sure! Tell us how you do! Hoo hoo hoo! (Come on Dave, gimme a break) Hey hey hey hey! One break, comin' up!

Wasn't Burt the voice of the dad, who talked to Evie through a plastic tesseract? As a kid, Buzz Belmondo was the height of comedy, I'm sure he holds up poorly.

I thought they got divorced. I don't really know though, I only knew about them because of The Soup, which has been off of the year for a while now. Yeah, me too, Grease is probably my least favorite of the musicals. It's just not the type of music that I enjoy. I'm considering watching Grease 2, but playing death metal during the song parts (unless I discover that the songs are hilariously bad in a Rebeca Black/Tay Zonday way.)

FYI the show where the girl touched her fingers to stop time was called Out Of This World

I think that they should throw a curve ball and choose xXx, then it can be xXx-mas

This movie is to real Football what The Quest is to MMA, what Rocky 5 is to Boxing and what Space Jam is to Basketball. I don't recall the scene that you're describing, but in the context of this movie it would be one of the less crazy things.

Just watched this movie for the first time in forever and while it's long this movie has HDTGM written all over it. To repeat, a guy's eye pops out of his socket and they keep playing the game. This movie has the subtlety of a Kirk Cameron movie. I would love for them to discuss how the team is "The Sharks" and there is a guy on the team whose nickname is "Skark" if he was on the Knights would his nickname be "Knight" (plus there are apparently two teams named the Knights in this movie) P.S. They're modern day gladiators. Get it?

I didn't pick up on that, but TBH I wasn't looking for much beneath the surface in this movie.

I have a hard time with movies that feel like their first priority is social commentary and the story and everything else must fit in around said message. To me, that's how Gamer felt.

The earlier discussion of silent movies with alternative soundtracks reminded me of The Cinematic Orchestra's soundtrack for Man With A Movie Camera. Excellent album, it stands on its own without the film:

Every time Mickey dies in Rocky III or Apollo in IV

Can we say they're "Goth Christmas" movies?

Oh wow, first role for Vincent "Big Pussy" Pastore

I don't specifically aim to watch more horror movies during October, but I probably do. Right now I am watching an 80s heavy metal horror movie called Black Roses that is pretty HDTGM worthy.

If you have a Roku or watch movies via your web browser, there is a free (with ads) movie app called "Midnight Pulp" that has Black Roses to watch.

Speaking of alternative soundtracks, have you ever seen the version of Nosferatu with an industrial soundtrack? You might not find that version so funny.
