Just this guy. I dig MST3K, film, retro games, Muppets, Iron Chef, hosted movie shows, birdwatching, horror/sci-fi, pro wrestling, oldies/jazz music, coffee mugs, tacky aloha shirts, etc. Howdy! av: MST3K's Crow in tux banner: Keep circulating the tapes

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! What's YOUR #LastFourWatched?

All comfort watches again this week.

That scene in Nightmare on Elm Street where Nancy falls asleep in class and Tina gets dragged down the hall in the body bag by her legs by no one is so goddamned spooky!

This is what I imagine 70s and 80’s wrestling was like. Living kayfabe at all moments and using someone else’s big event to help sell a ppv. Complete carny nonsense and it’s brilliant

My #LastFourWatched for #LetterboxdFriday

Billy Madison is a little out of character, but in the spirit of honesty I included it. Thrilled to have found a region 1 DVD of "Le Pacte des Loups" at @bookmansaz.bsky.social in Tucson and promptly hit play

Been looking for that for a while now

Gah. The VHS days were somethin' else, especially when video store rental searches felt like much more of an out-and-out *adventure.*

The implementation of pingpong balls as creature eyes is a lost art! THIS is why we love practical effects! :D

optiMSTie @optimstie.bsky.social · 14h

Isn't it the best when a rewatch can be astounding like that?

Admittedly, it's been some time since I've last seen it, so it's one that I'd need to rediscover as well!

I miss the Peter Jackson that gave us The Frighteners. That was a good dude. Glad you dig it for Halloween season!

I haven't watched those Scooby-Doo movies, but I can vouch for the quality of the animated movie Scoob! SO GOOD :D

My #LastFourWatched for #LetterboxdFriday

New for this week:

The Frighteners - A favorite of mine for the Halloween season. Michael J Fox is fantastic as always

The two live action Scooby-Doo movies - completely lacking the feel & charm of the original cartoon I grew up on. Overall disappointing

Last four movies watched in watched order:

Clue - 5 stars
The Frighteners - 4 stars
Scooby-Doo (2002 live action version) - 2 stars
Scooby-Doo - Monsters Unleashed- 2 stars

It just took us time to get a really clear picture of the Samoa Joe-assance.

But now that we're here? We can appreciate his kaiju status more fully!

Hallenbeck77 @hallenbeck77.bsky.social · 15h

After seeing him run around in a clown mask and an ice cream truck for 2 seasons in Twisted Metal, surprised that he wasn't considered Kaiju sooner.

Wanted and accepted, and right back at ya, aye.

Sharing can make a hell of a difference, a real domino effect of therapeutic awesomeness. That counts for a lot. If even just ONE person benefits, that still counts for a hell of a lot.

Thank you so, so damn much. So very thankful for ya, too! 💚
