guilty pleasure show/movie? - Discussions, questions

ram_goat » Wolfmoon Both..

Saw it in the theater when it was new. A perennial favorite.

ram_goat » Wolfmoon Definitely have a different take on it 25 years later... it´s cool to watch movies not dominated by CGI.

2 words: Phoebe Cates..

ram_goat » Wolfmoon Really fun to look back on society, or perception of, where no one had a cell phone. No one had internet. You had to go outside and find the adventure in the world.

..and older brothers were all bullies..

rohini moon » rohini moon I also love Father Knows Best.

I had all seasons on DVD.


Robert Young and Billy Gray are favorites of mine.

fishscales » Rosincvist Weird...I just watched that one a few hours before posting here.

Well if they really never aired that one in LA, I guess that´s another reason I´m glad I don´t live in Cali

Some beautiful places there, but the politics...no.

cubic » fishscales "3 titties in the hooouussse biotch"

That´s what it comes down to

Was 5 or 6-7 max year old when I was taken to the cinema and saw it.

It´s one of those scenes that I have flashbacks to once in a while for no apparent reason. Don´t think my mom expected that scene. Don´t think anyone did

As for the original topic: Gave it some thought but there isn´t anything from that time I go back to that qualifies. Animations only I guess? But the topic is about Movies/TV Shows and I´ve got Saturn in 1st. I used to watch mindless and repetitive high school movies / tv shows and prison movies late 90s / early 00s. Same basic plots over and over and over again..

OS* » cubic Did you watch Prison Break ?

I really liked that series

cubic » OS* Oh.. but Prison Break was taking itself seriously.. it was like a prime time commersialization of the genre. I guess that´s when I quit watching that genre. The spirit of it was exposed to the masses, and no longer... pure.

Never seen a full episode of it, but the show seemed to revolve around that guy´s looks. Whatever other merits it has.. it´s just - I don´t know why would I want to watch a show where I´m supposed to salivate over the face or the physique of another man? I think they must have targeted it at least partially for the female and the gay crowd. That drive for commercial success..

What I used to watch were no-name B-ish grade prison movies on some strange pirate-ish cable TV that could only exist in Eastern Europe. I think they were playing pirated VHS tapes over the air sometimes too. Nothing else produces these visual artifacts after all. Same guy voicing everyone in the movie too. I actually read an article about the 3 most prominent pirate VHS dubbers from that time. One of them was an ex-prisoner. Perhaps that´s why the prisoner movies were voiced by somebody with a rather prominent drawl..

OS* » cubic Oh ok, I liked the concept of the storyline. Quite original compared to others I’ve seen.

cubic » OS* I get it. I just like my prison movies to stay trashy, low in quality and made on a budget preferably less than 2-3 mil. USD. Super polished, multimillion dollar production, prime time one doesn´t sit well with the concept of a prison movie for me

cubic Well I see others have bought up animations.. fine then. Some scenes from Duck Tales and Tale Spin I still go back to. Once in a while I watch a full episode.

The way Magica De Spell goes into a witchy delusion of grandeur rant culminating in a desire to take over the world at the beginning of "Send in the Clones" lol.

Don Carnage´s rants, The Joker´s madness in "Batman: TAS".. yeah, it´s just that I don´t consider them silly, lol. Silly is like "Chip & Dale".

But real talk.. I suppose "Dawson´s Creek" gave me a true escape recently, somebody recommended it to me, and boy did it completely disconnect me from our current times.

boyakasha » Petr9 I´m on season 4 already, I like Hawk´s character from start. Really suits him. I´m with team Lawrence!!!

QUIET!

Leo Moon I’ve been enjoying Mystery Science Theater 3000 recently.

It’s silly. Plus it’s free on YouTube.

rohini moon » Leo Moon oh crap, is it?!

used to watch that religiously .. Loved the 1950s commercials they´d give commentary over as well, before the movie

Leo Moon The last one I watched had a goofy ,50s short film that I think was a promo for kitchen appliances.

This one.

https://m.youtube.com/watch/…

With a cheesy Roger Corman movie as the main film.

fishscales » cubic "That´s what it comes down to "

It´s iconic.

I bet everyone who saw that movie remembers where they were and who they were with when they saw that scene.

Like everything else in life, sometimes it´s just the simple things.

nutelina » Wolfmoon Indeed I loved the look of those models! So much better than CGI. But you can do other things... And at least in CGI, there´s virtually real interaction with light and the models (planes).

cubic » fishscales "Like everything else in life, sometimes it´s just the simple things. "

Yep.. the simple things in life indeed. Like... a woman with three tits. Hahahaha.

Leo Moon Watching football.

The Jacksonville Jaguars, who had won 2 games this season, had to beat the Indianapolis Colts , and the Pittsburgh Steelers had to beat the Baltimore Ravens in order for the Steelers to make the playoffs.

Both of these happened and it’s all due to Tuesie in a Terrible Towel. The Terrible Towel is the Pittsburgh Steelers talisman.

I had to bring out the big luck.

Now the Raiders, Chargers game can’t end in a tie.

fishscales » Leo Moon Damn I miss playoff (or pre-playoff) football! (still not plugging the cable back in tho.)

I´ve been following the different playoff scenarios this year however, and can´t believe all that crap actually happened.

It must have been Tuesday´s intimidating gaze...

My question is tho... Does Roethlisberger even WANT to be in the playoffs...?

He seems like he´s ready --and quite content with the idea--of being done.

rohini moon » Leo Moon tuesday = unbothered

Leo Moon » fishscales It’s cool to have both the Steelers and Eagles in the playoffs.

I have low expectations for the Steelers. They play The Chiefs in Kansas City.

Eagles play the Cowboys. At Dallas I think.

It’s all down to Tuesday magic.

I don’t have a tv either. Steelers, Eagles and Phillies is the only tv I watch. Everything else is YouTube or Amazon.

I would think Ben wants to be in the playoffs.
The Steelers offensive line is awful. It’s making Ben look worse than he is.

It’s going to be weird next year after 18 years of Big Ben.

Leo Moon » rohini moon Tuesie was cozy.

She likes Sunday football. She curls up on the couch next to me.

rohini moon » Leo Moon aw shes real cozy.. love her white little feets stickin´ out of the blanket!

whenever my cats are that comfy, i purposefully maneuver around them, as to not disturb them.
