"Transylvania Twist" (1990)
An occult expert sends his dorky nephew to Transylvania to recover an ancient book that has the power to "open the door to the other side." Wacky hi-jinks and lots of corny jokes ensue.
Roger Corman produced this cheap "Airplane!" style parody of horror movies, with lots of rapid fire gags, some hot girls, and even a cameo (via stock footage) by Boris Karloff!  Not all of the jokes land, but there are a few good laughs and leading lady Teri Copley (of TV's "We Got it Made") is pure eye candy. Goofy fun.

Bad Movies / Re: Big Ass Mosquito (2027)

I once heard a radio interview with a scientist who was tasked by the interviewer with defending the existence of mosquitos. He couldn't understand why they shouldn't be totally eradicated. I think she said something like they are effective for controlling animal populations that have grown too large or something. it was pretty thin gruel.

Quote from: Rev. Powell on June 24, 2026, 09:12:08 AMTOY STORY 5: The toys (now led by cowgirl Jessie) face an existential crisis as they're laid aside for electronic devices; meanwhile, an entire squadron of Buzz Lightyears search for a purpose. The long-running series continues to remain relevant and deliver quality entertainment while exploring childhood psychology and the melancholy of growing up. 3.5/5.

Another packed theater---this one was a sellout. It's getting weird. Now that I think about it, another local theater closed, so that may be redirecting a little bit of traffic to others. Still, attendance at the cinema this year has been many times greater than anything since Covid.

Yeah, personally I don't think theatres are going to die or even become purely niche, but I do expect the number of screens to retract significantly over time.  I also think the studios need to figure out what works and what doesn't, they're operating largely as if the gigantic Summer blockbuster tentpole stuff will keep working but it really seems to be barely hanging on - yet some things still hit.  Obsession and Backrooms both breaking $300 million says a lot, you get the right stuff in theatres young people still come out.

ah fair enough

currently 2-0 to Brazil at half time... plus they had 1 disallowed ... might've been a bit generous predicting Scotland to actually score, don't think they've had a shot yet

edit, only 3-0 in the end... so not a thrashing, but Scotland were about as dangerous as a deep fried curly wurly

😀😃😄🤣😅🐢

For all of those, thank you.

I have been struggling with depression for more than five years now and it was made worse when I lost Brenda - one of the few people I genuinely loved - in October 2025. I very rarely laugh or smile anymore.

At least tonight (it's almost 10:30 pm here and cold) I'll go to bed with a 😁 on my face.

Hugs 🤗🐢
