It's good but I may need to watch lighter fare afterwards to even out the night.

Testament (1983 )
First Time Viewing. Kinda cool this started as an episode of PBS's American Playhouse but got promoted to a theatrical release.

Movie poster for Testament with tagline "They never had a chance to their children grow up. To watch each other grow old. To fix up the house, to take that vacation. Because it only took an instant to shatter their dreams."

Family watching an emergency alert appear on their TV screen.

This has more senior actors than a season of "Murder, She Wrote." The hallucination scene is hilarious too.

I'm really hoping there is a revival of 3D TV's soon so I can play my discs on something that isn't a projector (not great for an apartment) or a VR Headset (uncomfortable).

My Sneakers 4K arrived in the mail yesterday. I'm taking that as a sign.

One of the better blind buys I ever did after seeing you talk it up during a VS sale.

Matt H @matth84.bsky.social · Aug 6

Definitely one of the more memorable VHS covers/posters I remember in the Horror section as a kid.

I'm hoping @synapsefilms.bsky.social can release it eventually since a 4K was announced back in 2022.

I think I would have to agree with you there. I think the only thing he directed that I would revisit made after that is the T2 3-D: Battle Across Time ride if it was brought back (and that might be out of nostalgia).

I'm glad I got to grab a burger there a few times while he was still running the grill.

I guess he wanted to join the I got killed by a Predator/Xenomorph/Terminator club with Lance Henriksen and Bill Paxton.

Matt H @matth84.bsky.social · Jun 7

Just joking 😂. But that's actually good info to have. Didn't know about Sudecon Decontamination Towelettes until today either.
