The "I'm watching/just watched *movie title* thread....

[ItsOver]

It recently occurred to me that I'd never heard of any Thanksgiving themed horror movies.  A quick Google yielded one made for $3500 called ThanksKilling  (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1129441/), which could be entertaining, but it sounds like it's basically a very poorly made horror parody.  However, there has never been one made in the same vein as Halloween, Friday the 13th, or Hellraiser that could become a franchise, and it seems like a great opportunity is going to waste.  I think a "Turkey Day" franchise is sorely needed and would be extremely popular. 

There are plenty of possibilities, and here are a few tentative titles just to get things started: 

Turkey Day: The Wishing Bone

T-Day II:  Blood Baster

T-Day III: Demon Drumstick

T-Day IV: The Pilgrimming

T-Day V: Squanto's Revenge

A Walton Thanksgiving Reunion - Movie Special #4 - Opening Credits
What could be more terrifying than watching Grandpa Walton choke down a turkey leg as he tells some mind-numbing tale about harvesting cranberries in his bare feet for the thousandth time.

Thanksgiving Massacre on Walton's Mountain: The Final Goodnight

[Robert Ghostwolf's Ghost]

"Many cultures have legends of turkeys with extraordinary powers.  But could these tales of mega-gobblers be more than myth?  We associate Thanksgiving with the harvest moon.  Can this be a clue that these plump beings actually once descended from the heavens?"

"Since turkeys are incapable of sustained flight, it's logical to conclude that in all probability they came to Earth in a spaceship, or through a wormhole."

If only Cliffy the postman and barfly fountain of knowledge had passed this along to Mr. Carlson.  "Oh, the humanity!"

"During the last great Avian Conflict, the turkey was the decided winner over the Dodo.  The turkeys prosecuted the war vigorously until the Dodo were isolated on a single island  The Dodo refugees, unable to find a haven, succumbed to the appetites of the human population of the Island of Mauritius."

Goodnight John Boy ... KABLAM *** shotgun blast echoes throughout the holler ***

Goodnight John Boy ... KABLAM *** shotgun blast echoes throughout the holler ***

Ike would be my prime suspect in that killing spree.  I never trusted him, because he smiles way too much.  He's obviously wound a little too tightly, and it would only be a matter of time before he snapped and went on a bloody rampage fueled by a jar of Papa's Recipe from the Baldwin Sisters.

Spider porn?

[Robert Ghostwolf's Ghost]

Spider porn?

Get your mind out of the gutter.  :  It's a Lifetime movie that forces us to confront and examine society's arbitrary and superficial standards of beauty by offering a sensitive, sympathetic portrayal of a spider who struggles with weight related self-esteem issues before finding true love in the unlikeliest place with a successful, ruggedly handsome male spider who recognizes her inner beauty.  They get married, mate passionately on their wedding night, and then she eats him.  I'm not ashamed to admit I wept a little while watching it.

If Ice Spiders shows up, you owe it to yourself to watch it.

"The Blind Man of Seville"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2366656/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_1
TV, but more like mini-series, so you can watch all at once. Pretty good. Watched it mainly because I loved the author of the book and always cool to see Spain. Acting, set, lighting, atmosphere, etc good. Plot was good but lots to pack in for two hours.  Haven't watched the second series of episodes yet.

Shakedown 1950
The Great Moment 1944
Blood Simple 1984

If you liked Fargo and/or no No Country for Old Men, check out Blood Simple.  It had been several years since I'd seen it, and I'd forgotten how good it is.

Just come back from watching Interstellar.


Not sure what I think yet. I'll get back to you. The soundtrack though is massive...As in huge, gigantic, spectacular organ chords of hugeness on a massive huge scale.

Christopher Nolan is convinced US audiences want huge music and crashing stuff all over their movies.
He really has evolved into Michael Bay.

Fortunately, we have cinemas in the UK too. Crazy but true. And electricity.

The soundtrackt works in this film though. Spectaularly.

I've slept on it and I think this is a visually incredible film. Nolan used no green screens, it was all filmed in IMAX and the sets were full size.

I have no idea if all the science in it has had some artistic licence (Kip Thorne was the exec producer and the advisor on black holes and what they theoretically really look like) but even it had, it is a fest of visual fun, especially one particular sequence that has Zimmer's score thundering through your body turned up to 11.

Some critics have said it is a 'nearly there' film; that it could have been so much more. Some of it makes no sense, some of it it has gaping holes in it that are never explained and defy logic. On an emotional level it's a powerful piece, if you subscribe to it. One particular emotional part from Anne Hathaway runs against what I would consider her character would really do, but helps the plot along.

I hope there is no sequel. It would be indulgent for it's own sake and probably be the equivalent of Matrix two and three.

Ok, I admit, just watched Need for Speed, and actually kinda enjoyed it.  Sure alot of it makes no sense, but it's got some great action sequences and cool music and even has a few heartfelt moments.  And it's got some bitchin' cars.

I thought that was a fun movie.

Finally finished The Killing. 
I really enjoyed the first season and most of the second.  I don't want to give anything away, but the end really disappointed me. 
I did like ALL the characters. Even the totally creepy ones.   

Now I'm watching Jack Taylor.  Iain Glen, Jorah Mormont from Game of Thrones, as the title character.
Not stupendous, but I do appreciate any screen time with Mr. Glen.

"This Sporting Life" (1963)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057578/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
Richard Harris is amazing in this. Haven't seen in a decades but still as good as ever. Powerful performances and gritty, stark Yorkshire. Interestingly Harris was born in Limerick and was a rugby fan and player so extra good in this (and even played on Munster's youth team.) Excellent movie- but don't expect to be "happy" after watching it.

Just checked out Interstellar on IMDB. Its got a 9.1/10 and is already ranked #11 in the top 250 movies. I know there is a lot of hype around new movies, but that is still pretty impressive.

I know you are talking about the TV show The Killing. I just saw the old movie (1956) The Killing on the MGM channel about two Sundays ago. I enjoyed it and then later found out it was directed by Stanley Kubrick.

I've been avoiding reading any reviews until I see it, but the early ratings I looked at were only maybe 7 or 8 out of 10.  Maybe a few bad early reviews are being washed out as more see it?

The Invaders (1995) Starring Scott Bakula and the recently departed Elizabeth Peña. Roy Thinnes has a bit part.

I remember Elizabeth really flicking my switch when I first saw her in Jacob's Ladder. There was an especially disturbing scene in which she performed a move on the dance floor that I can only describe as the H. R. Giger Tango.
