It’s almost October. The spooky season. I’m going to attempt to get weird with it (watch 50 movies)

I watched 1996’s Thesis.

This is an interesting study in social obsession with violence, the urban legend of snuff films and a meta textual look at student filmmaking.

It’s also a first rate thriller.

Alejandro Amenábar (Open Your Eyes, The Others) came out the gates firing.

I watched 1976's God Told Me To.

This isn’t the best Larry Cohen movie I’ve seen but it is probably the one that best encompasses everything he did. It’s a horror movie, a police procedural, a portrait of NYC, has shades of blaxploitation while remaining bizarre and unpredictable.

The original “Matt Foley, Motivational Speaker” sketch at The Second City in Chicago in ‘90 with Chris Farley, Jill Talley, Bob Odenkirk, Holly Wortell and Tim Meadows. Killed every single night. Tim is on “Colbert” tonight by the way.

Probably should have said dumbest instead but I am far from immune to becoming stupider every day like everyone else.

The world is always at its stupidest before the dawn.

Dr. Phil not being able to make money off MAGA is hilarious. Jack Posobiec got a beach house off it and his job was testing pee for the Navy. How are you that bad at this man?

I’ve never felt more alive than having my ID checked at Wal-Mart for buying R rated movies at 7am.

I watched 1992's Godzilla vs Mothra. This didn't do much for me until the last 20 minutes but those 20 minutes are pretty awesome.

Happy Columbo’s Day
Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.” “If the car’s gone,” “I’ll give you another cookie anyway” “because I love you.”

I watched 1990’s Mirror Mirror. This is the second demonic/possessed mirror movie I’ve watched this weekend. So that’s weird. This actually goes pretty hard for a demonic mirror movie but in the end it’s still a demonic mirror movie.

I used to say this was their most underrated film but I think it’s been mostly reevaluated as at least one of their minor masterpieces.

Next up. It is time to get very angry and the greatest film antagonist to ever exist. Go to hell Sy Ableman.

James got that sweet sweet buyout cash.

Congrats to James Franklin who appears to be on the verge of making 50 million dollars to not work. This is the true American dream.

Woke has gone too far when even brooms at Menards aren’t safe from liberal men.

The real life footage montage of the wedding scene where they jammed all the people from the earlier movies and James Wan in as cameos? Cause they’re both a bit unhinged.

I watched 1993’s Ed And His Dead Mother. This is basically a dark comedy version of Re-Animator. It’s hit and miss but is also the only movie ever made where horny Ned Beatty spies on Kevin Sorbo’s wife through a telescope which leads to her seducing Steve Buscemi.

It says more about me than the world but this is the first time in many years I’ve heard The Monster Mash with its actual lyrics and not the Nick Wiger CBB Monster Fuck lyrics.

There’s probably still time to shoot a quick post credits scene that ties the whole movie together.

I never would have imagined Bruce Springsteen Monster Mash ska cover as a real life possibility.

lol. Bruce actually skanks (sort of) halfway through. There is still goodness and purity in the world.
