    Tremors 2 is peak cinema IMHO. I only wish they had spent a little more on the CGI, or replaced it all with practical effects.

    Interstate 60 - a cute quirky B movie with some hella famous actors. Gary Oldman, Christopher Lloyd, Michael J Fox, James Maraden, Chris Cooper, Amy Smart, Kurt Russell. It is a fun and imaginative ride along a made up highway. My favorite scene was the town of Morelaw.

    Big Trouble - a great movie shut down by circumstance. It was set for release in late 2001, the end of the movie involves hijacking a plane with a nuclear bomb, but then 9/11 happened so they sent it straight to video and stopped advertising it. Based on a Dave Barry novel, it’s a hilarious story involving a crazy cast of characters you may meet in Florida. Another star studded cast including Tim Allen, The Tooch, Martha Stewart, Janine Garofalo, Zoey Deschanel, Omar Epps, Jason Lee, Johnny Knoxville, and many more.

    I have only met a couple people ever who have seen either of these movies.

    I just rewatched Earth Girls are Easy last week and that’d be on my list.

    90 minutes of prime Gina Davis in a bikini doesn’t hurt either.

      Fantastic movie! When I was single, a woman’s response to it was something I’d use to gauge compatibility. Mind you, they didn’t have to like it.

  • The English first Digimon movie. Well, I won’t defend it. But I will quote and reference it probably more than any other movie. I think it’s been a couple days since I’ve done that though.

      Just re-watched this for the first time as an adult last night and my gods is it a movie of it’s time. Spouse and I died every time music came on. The dialogue sounds like they were ad-libing all the way through, also why was this a movie? It feels like two season finale episodes crammed together with some filler and explosion.

      That said, I loved it and it said so much about my childhood that my favorite movie as a kid suffers from equally unchecked ADHD.

      My dad pulled me out of school just to wait in line for Phantom Menace tickets. I thought the prequels, while enjoyable, were the last time I would be disappointed by Star Wars.

      I was so fucking wrong holy shit.

        i don’t bother myself keeping up with what’s “canon” anymore because nearly every screenplay addition to the canon since the OT has been hella stupid, and most of the time retroactively makes the existing story worse. disney’s starting to ramp it up to kingdom hearts levels of convolution and pointless tie-ins that go nowhere but inexplicably contain huge plot points because… money i guess?

        the OT is great but star wars as a franchise is generally fucking awful with some good bits here and there.

      That theme song is a legit banger. And my god the quotes… “No, no, no, don’t tug on that. You never know what it might be attached to.” or “It drives like a truck.” “Good. What is a truck?” or “I’ve been ionized but I’m ok now.” or my favorite “DAMN JOHN WHORFIN AND THE HORSE HE RODE IN ON!”
