So I just (re)watched "Snakes on a Plane" - www.imdb.com/title/tt0417...

Haven't watched this one in like...what, almost 20 years? It's still as campy and goofy as it ever was. 6/10

Odd, Telegram allows NSFW so long as the users are adults.

If the "I am a Human" button isn't working trying disabling anything that may be obfuscating your connection. Turn off your VPN, adblock, etc. That should make it appear.

Same thing happened to me about 3 weeks ago or so.

Best you can do is wait until either they get back to you or your account gets deleted and you make a new one.

You should also consider asking your ISP to change your IP address, in case you've been blacklisted.

The Red Letter Media guys are great. They're not flawless but they don't have to, they just do their thing and are hugely entertaining.

OMG XD it keeps getting worse lol

James Corck @jamescorck.bsky.social · 1d

A lot of things are better than the bottom of the barrel XD

James Corck @jamescorck.bsky.social · 1d

Same.

I read the first book, and was rather underwhelmed by it. However I thought it had potential to get better, so I never fully dismissed it.

However the movie is rubbish. They should've waited more before adapting it.

K-19: The Widowmaker (2002) ⭐ 6.7 | Drama, History, Thriller

James Corck @jamescorck.bsky.social · 2d

I've also re-watched "K-19: The Widowmaker" - www.imdb.com/title/tt0267...

This one's still very good. The slow first half is compensated by a harrowing second half. Plus everyone does a pretty good job in it. 7/10

So I just re-watched "The Hurt Locker" - www.imdb.com/title/tt0887...

I think I get it a little better. But I still don't get it. It's boring and overrated. Looks good tho. 5/10.

I just re-watched (final re-watch for the day) "The Vast of Night" - www.imdb.com/title/tt6803...

Excellent film. How much you can do with a small budget and lots of ingenuity. It also has one of my favorite shots ever in a movie. 9/10.

James Corck @jamescorck.bsky.social · 5d

So I just re-watched "Fire in the Sky" - www.imdb.com/title/tt0106...

It holds up super well. Great portrayal of what a small community goes through when someone disappears, with a neat paranormal touch. The abduction scene is horrific. 7/10

So I just re-watched "The Conjuring 2" - www.imdb.com/title/tt3065...

Boy this movie's long. I don't think it needs to be, and that kinda hurt it the most, on top of being too loud and over-the-top. I liked the first one better. 5/10

Lights Out (2016) ⭐ 6.3 | Horror, Mystery

James Corck @jamescorck.bsky.social · 6d

So I just re-watched "Lights Out" - www.imdb.com/title/tt4786...

Holds up really well. I like to champion small horror movies with a clear-cut premise, a good monster, and a tight running time. Like Mike Stoklasa once said, "Tight Eighty". 7/10.

Severely underrated gem, directed by Martin Scorsese. Looks great, paced great, world building is awesome, everyone's got chemistry. Excellent movie. 9/10.

Very good! Very solid disaster movie with great production value and engaging performances. Might bump it up in score once I rewatch it without network cut outs. 7/10
