Things I enjoy: Dogs, Horror films, my family, kind people, sportsball, weirdly specific & specifically weird comedy.
As an 80s movie kid, there were few other film Directors who were more influential in shaping my sensibilities.
Reiner, Spielberg, Dante & Hughes were my 80s Mt. Rushmore.

I've always loved QT's films, but his best/favorites lists (actors, films, music, whatever) ALWAYS leave me scratching my head at best.

Yep, we witnessed one of these that Kevin Smith was doing, and my wife was gripping my arm like she was watching The Exorcist for the first time.
Btw, Smith handled it better than anyone I've ever seen. Super patient, kind and engaging even with the weirdest of the weirdos.

That smug, smirky Henry Gibson-esque face of his is SO punchable.

Jackman & Brewer will be in Milwaukee on Tuesday promoting the movie, and both of them will be serving frozen custard to customers at a place only about 2 miles from my house. Should be nuts.
And judging by the trailer, Hudson is nailing the WI accent; think Fargo-lite but even way more subtle.

Few have a more diverse resume than Bob Clark (ok, maybe Rob Reiner).

3 years ago, we starting doing prime rib instead of turkey. We still feature all the fixins though like stuffing, potatoes, etc.
Leftover prime rib sandwiches absolutely curb stomp ANY turkey leftovers I've ever had.

If STRANGER THINGS really wanted to be a homage/nostalgia project, those cowards would have cast Atkins as Hooper's father or something. I mean Harbour's character pretty much is the Tom Atkins role, even though that character isn't half the ladies man that your average Atkins character was.

Yeah, I simply don't understand why there's even a discourse here. I WILL say that it may have muddied the waters a bit when they decided to give Craig's Bond some continuity.

The Obi-Wan series is what finally killed Star Wars for me. I had SUCH high hopes for it, only for it to be big budget fan fiction.

Love this. I'm super grateful to my late Father-in-law who raised my wife on genre classics. Her family OWNED Pumpkinhead for chrissakes.
