Entertainment / Re: Song titles or lyrics you ...
Last post by Archivist - Today at 03:46:40 AMAfter seeing Moonraker in the cinema in 1979, a song came on the radio which I thought was a funny coincidence, 'A One Way Ticket To The Moon'.
Decades later, I looked this song up on Google, only to find the lyrics were in fact, 'A one way ticket to the blues'!
The song itself was originally sung by Neil Sedaka, and made popular in 1979 by the British band Eruption:

So my kid mind, just filled with scenes of James Bond in space, misheard this as a 'one way ticket to the moon'.
Let's not talk about how Dad thought that Lulu's 'I'm a Tiger' was 'I'm a Thai girl'
Dad was apparently quite puzzled by why she would sing such a song.

Last post by Archivist - Today at 03:06:37 AMGrave of the Fireflies - just the first scene gave forshadowings of what was to come, and I couldn't watch any more.
The Plague Dogs - another where the opening scenes are disturbing enough for me to nope out. As someone who deeply loves animals, even an animated movie of this was too much.
Pretty much all torture/gore movies. Like, why?

Last post by WingedSerpent - November 17, 2025, 09:02:31 PMThe sad thing is if you look back at a lot of those old rubber hose era cartoons, there's plenty of scary surreal imagery that could make for some good horror material. The one promo image just makes it look like a another slasher film.
I get that why these all go to horror
>low cost and ease makes for an profitable film, even if it doesn't make a ton of money
>"look how edgy we are" mentality of taking kid friendly characters and making them something definitely not.
I just wish someone would do something better with them. I;m sure we all do.

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by lester1/2jr - November 17, 2025, 08:02:50 PMThe Treatment (2014) - This is like a really dank, dark, and particularly disturbing episode of Law and Order SVU if Detective Stabler did the whole case by himself. There's a violent child abuser on the loose in small town Belgium, so our fearless detective has to work to find other perverts and victims to try and discover who the guy is. He even seeks out the man who he believes kidnapped his own brother decades earlier. There is no comic relief to speak of and lots of disturbing people and images. I was in the mood for something substantive, but this was a little more unpleasant than I had in mind. Solid enough, though.

Last post by HappyGilmore - November 17, 2025, 06:37:29 PMThe second Pooh is a bit better. They kinda retconned it a little bit. The actor who plays Pan is great. If they had a bigger budget and slightly better script it could've been really great. It worked for what it was. I even watched it a second time.
Luckily most of these are free on Peacock.
David Howard Thornton, who plays Art the Clown in the Terrifier series, has two of these public domain flicks on Peacock. Screamboat, playing Mickey Mouse, and The Mean One playing The Grinch.
