We need a modern AU of The Sopranos just so I can hear Paulie mispronounce "skibidi toilet" as "Schenectady toilet."

Random House spent money on publishing a prequel to the 160+ Boxcar Children novels where the kids go through their parents dying.
They published the Boxcar Children equivalent of Martha Wayne's pearls being ripped off in that alley.

I kid you not, one of the CGI Thomas the Tank Engine movies is about him finding a tunnel to a forgotten island where three redneck American logging locomotives have been left to their own devices for years.

Another unfun detail worth noting: the first post on the TIVA Patreon account clearly was written before the "women and nonbinary" messaging. It exclusively refers to "women" and maybe they'll hire "men" later.
It's nice that nonbinary actors are involved, of course, but it feels... off.

I especially loved that you can feel the venom dripping from Coffins' fingertips as he makes a point of mentioning the original disrespected the shit out of Stan Rogers, an icon of the genre.

A trend I notice on their profile is the older a movie is, the fewer stars it can possibly earn.

Unironic un-jokey recommendation: if you like the fun artistry and the "we know you know it's a soundstage" vibe of watching Wizard of Oz, I highly recommend the Japanese anthology horror movie Kwaidan (1964). They do some amazing things with soundstage wall painting.

Still one of the most effective tornado effects in a movie, period.

Since we're all doing #lastfourwatched for #letterboxdfriday
Three of these are Hooptober watches, then WNUF was purely for the fun of the game (the game being rewatching WNUF every year or so).

[Robert Stack voice] Update: he clearly got in his feelings about the channel failing so he paid to run the newest video as an ad and that's artificially inflated the viewcount. A lot of the comments are people talking about how they got it as an ad on their TV or find the stats to be suspicious.

Ned Fulmer genuinely might bomb out his YouTube channel before he can get the "I was an AEW wrestler for a day" video edited and posted.
AKA: his last big swing at making it as a YouTuber with what little money he has left after wasting the rest on stealing Tom Scott and Jubliee video concepts.

I still have probably an hour or so's worth of deciding on backgrounds, music, and putting attribution text on all the clips used but the core content of my "Halloweeny stuff you should try" recommendation video is good.
It just also happens to have ended up 34 minutes long 😅

I don't have the time to do it, but there would be an EXCELLENT gimmick account in just screenshotting every time Tony has to deal with something domestic and pretending The Sopranos is just a sitcom without an ounce of mafia content.

During the Kino Lorber sale I gambled $10 on a movie I've never seen because, come on. It's got Joey Bologna. It's about a nuclear-powered bus.
It's basically just Supertrain but on a road.

Do I NEED to pay Vimeo $5 to download the forgotten French found footage vampire movie Nosferatu(dot)com? Absolutely not.
Am I morbidly curious about a critically-panned movie with what looks like a Gmod character model in the poster? Absolutely.
