As a TW fan I appreciate this deep cut. I always assumed TW saw the name of this movie and came up with a song around it, but it could easily be a coincidence.

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by lester1/2jr - Today at 08:12:47 PMThe Murder in the Red Barn (1936) - not a documentary on Tom Waits deep cuts, instead this is a drama about a woman killed by a man who decided the relationship wasn't for him. Oh well, guess things didn't work out. No, it's a little more complicated than that.
The movie opens with a dummy stage and the various characters being introduced to the audience. My guess is this was meant to remind people "it's only a movie" and not to freak out about the brutal nature of the story. It is actually helpful, though. I wish more movies did it, but I guess it breaks the 4th wall thing. The antagonist is very ably played by Todd Slaughter, whose over the top performance is akin to the guy with the curly mustache and cape in Might mouse cartoons tying the girl mouse to the tracks and laughing ha ha ha haaaaa. Most of the IMDB reviews cite him.
For 1936 this is pretty dark, but obviously very tame by today's standards. The story is based on an actual case https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Barn_Murder . Only 56 minutes long. Tubi's print is not so great.
4/5
The main actress's Little Bo Peep type bonnet outfit isn't very complimentary, but she does her best with it.

Feature length fan-made documentary about KISS' historic first tour of Japan in 1977. Does an impressive job of editing together vintage live footage and interviews from Japanese TV broadcasts and modern-day remembrances from fans who were there. An entertaining deep dive for KISS nerds.

Last post by HappyGilmore - Today at 07:02:05 PMInteresting. I wouldn't have guessed like, any of them. Besides, obviously, the US/UK.
I'd have guessed Finland but only cause a few bands I like came from there, but granted a few bands don't necessarily equal a whole population.

Last post by HappyGilmore - Today at 06:33:07 PMQuote from: zombie no.one on Today at 10:49:07 AMPeople seem to hate it, but I really like 8. I really didn't like Part 5 or 9. I appreciate they tried something different and having a fake-Jason in 5 with the ambulance driver Roy was a nice attempt to continue the series.Quote from: HappyGilmore on Today at 09:26:02 AMFriday the 13th and Friday the 13th Part 2.
I was probably 4 or so, late 80s.
the first one I saw was part 8... maybe that's partly why it's my favourite? it's supposedly one of the worst (or even THE worst) but I love it
Parts 3,4 and X are actually my favorites, with 8 probably tying with X. I watch those 4 the most whenever I rewatch the films.

never quite got the hype around Stone Roses first album, but this non-album single is one of my fav songs ever.
