"There is a period for the fledgling fanatic during which even the thought that there could be bad movies was ridiculous heresy. I hoped I never got so old. When I watch Starman, I never did."

Watching Andor season 2 and are my eyes deceiving me, or are there 2 Tenctonese women sitting behind Cassian? Are the newcomers from Alien Nation from the Star Wars Universe?

It is always shocking to me how unwilling people/businesses are to help out somebody making a cool project....AND even more shocking, how willing they are to turn down money for just 2 hours of their time where they literally have to do almost nothing.

Plz pass this along:

Seeking graphics/animation people who are interested in working on a documentary about horror film music? The budget is VERY low, but it's a credit in a film, & an opportunity to make connections & be part of a cool project. Plz DM with an email address.

I was watching a halloween episode of The Fall Guy this morning, and it went by fast, but I swear they used this shot from SUSPIRIA (1977) in the opening. The episode also featured Elvira and all of the Carradines.

Been thinking a lot about the band Cake lately. I was a teen in the 90s, but didn't listen to many of the contemporary bands that my friends did. I was busy listening to Freddie King, John Carpenter, Billy Joel, & Black Sabbath. But I did buy Fashion Nugget & loved Cake's unique sound. Good stuff.

👏 fantastic news.

A few random negative movie thoughts of the day:

I don't like that "Padawan" is a term that gets used as slang in movies and TV shows.

Blue Crush is kinda ruined by the cheesy green screen shot at the end.

The Monkey would've made for a better horror anthology episode than a full-length feature.

Today I found out that John, from Day of the Dead (Terry Alexander) lives in my building. He is a really nice guy!

Little known fact about me, the Final Destination franchise is one of my favs.
FINAL DESTINATION (2000)

On this day, 25 years ago, FINAL DESTINATION opened in US theaters.

Now, it may seem like I'm breaking my 'slasher' rules here, but over the years, I've read several compelling arguments that the film qualifies as a supernatural slasher.

What do you think?

Vice Squad (1982) might be a better movie than Hollywood Vice Squad (1986), but HVS is more entertaining and has a better cast. Just sayin'...

There are 2 Kevin Costners and I will be honest, I'm getting a little tired of the one with the gruff voice.

I don't remember seasons 1 & 2 of Reacher being nearly as poorly written as the current season. What happened?

I kind love that 4 of the top 10 movies on Max today are from the Final Destination franchise.
