The cast of EXCALIBUR were lost upon me at age 5 or 6 (I think Gabriel Byrne is also in there), but I thought it was impressive-looking and cool and even scary at times. I bought a beautiful VHS copy 20-some years ago and that poster/cover art, man, is an art object all its own...! I was so excited when I loaded it up and hit Play....... but... it underwhelmed me. Maybe results will vary. I was hoping for a Tolkein-esque epic spectacle - heck, even something on par with KRULL would've satisfied me. But perhaps John Badham was out of his element here or... under-funded? I don't know. It played out more like Badham's DELIVERANCE than Jackson's LOTR....... whole lotta' white guys splashin' around in the mud for two hours!

"Spinal Tap II: The End Continues" (2025)

The members of Spinal Tap reunite for one more gig to satisfy an old contract inherited by the daughter of their late manager, Ian Faith. The boys haven't spoken in almost 20 years, but they soon fall back into their familiar groove and work through some long standing personal issues.
The late Rob Reiner's "legacy-quel" isn't as hilarious as the groundbreaking 1984 mock-umentary, but there are some genuine laughs and it's nice to see the Tap fellas back in action after all this time.

Honestly, since I work in the grocery business I dislike Thanksgiving and Christmas time, but moreso Thanksgiving. I dislike how little time I have to give everyone presents due to my hectic work schedule has been.

yeah now's obviously the busiest time for most retail jobs I guess

I do hate Christmas. With a passion. It's not about a religion anymore. It's about money.
And Tara Sue died Xmas Eve, 2008.
Bah, humbug.

yeah it's been commercialised since forever, inevitable really... and sorry to hear that.

Only a few months ago, I found out Liam Neeson & Patrick Stewart were in Excalibur.....
Saw it as a kid, & was pretty apathetic about the cast at the time...

INVENTION (2024): Callie Hernandez (playing herself) discovers her father has left her a patent for a psuedoscientific healing device after his death. An experimental mix of fictionalized biography, meta-fictional noodling, and what appears to be actual documentary footage, it's not clear at all where INVENTION wants to go or what it intends to say; it's novel and non-obvious, but that alone doesn't make it valuable. 2.5/5.

Thank you, I hadn't thought about the Munsters or Addams family. I think my next project though will be Mushnik's though. Thank you folks.
