Eh, Obama seemed to enjoy it.......

Really?

Not likely, it was a publicity stunt.

I was gonna say, I liked him until hearing about the PBR.

Eh, Obama seemed to enjoy it.......

Really?

Well, that's the brand he brought up a few times early in his administration, albeit, he had a Bud Light at the Beer Summit.....

Bud Light is a bit more palatable than PBR. I've enjoyed it on occasion. I like different brands though.

Press Releases and Film News / RIP Victor Miller

Last post by sprite75 - September 01, 2026, 11:02:59 PM

Jesus f**king Christ, God.  Work on your f**king aim already.

Victor Miller, the screenwriter behind the horror classic "Friday the 13th," died on Monday in Alameda, Calif. He was 86.

Miller's death was confirmed to Variety by his son, Ian.

Released in 1980, "Friday the 13th" is widely considered a seminal installment in the horror canon. It widely popularized the summer camp setting and themes surrounding teenage debauchery, which to this day remain essential tropes of the slasher genre. In a recent interview with a "Friday the 13th" fan site, Miller said the inspiration behind the iconic film came from, at first, an attempt to follow in the footsteps of John Carpenter's "Halloween," which debuted two years prior.

Miller was born in New Orleans, La., in 1940. He is survived by his wife, Tina Thurston Miller, and his two sons, Ian and Josh.

PLAY DEAD (2022) - This was a freaking BRILLIANT movie. Chloe is a medical student who has had to drop out of school and is about to lose her home due to her father's life insurance company refusing to pay his policy when he killed himself.  Her little brother TJ decides to help get them some money by joining up with her ex to rob a pawn shop.  But the robbery goes south, the ex is killed (or is he?), and TJ is now a wanted man - since the incriminating evidence is in his partner's cell phone.  So Chloe decides to fake her own death to get into the morgue and nab the cell phone before the police pick it up.  But . . . something is screwy in this morgue, and the coroner isn't all he seems.  I'll leave it at that, but trust me, this one is TOTALLY worth the watch!

I watched that one 20 years ago - on VHS! It's long too, right? Like almost 2 hours?

CHARACTER STUDIES (1925):
This is six minutes long and barely a film - it was really a gag made for a Hollywood party. Roscoe Arbuckle had publicly been persona non grata for about 4 years following the Virginia Rappe debacle. He directed this (uncredited) as a favor to Douglas Fairbanks, and in the next 5 years would direct a bunch of other films (also uncredited) before finally he was cleared of all charges.

Stage actor Carter DeHaven (apparently also in THE GREAT DICTATOR) opens a large trunk with the lid facing the camera and sort of fakes that he's putting on wardrobe pieces and make-ups. There are visible (though not egregious) jump cuts before "he" intermittently closes the lid and reveals that "he" has "become" six movie stars, including Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, Rudolph Valentino, and Fairbanks. The thing is, they're all small-ish white guys in medium-wide shot, so - though those guys all apparently played themselves - you kind of have to take the stunt on faith.

However, the other two stars that DeHaven "becomes" are Arbuckle himself (who is a big white guy) and child actor Jackie Coogan, who of course was a tiny white kid. Those two "studies" pay off and probably got big laffs @ the party.

3/5    Coogan appeared in some wonderful Bad Movies in the 50s through 80s and eventually obtained immortality as the original "Uncle Fester".

THE ST. FRANCISVILLE EXPERIMENT (2000) - This was a found footage style movie that came highly recommended, but I must admit, it bored me to tears.  Six amateur filmmakers locked overnight in a haunted house; they spend most of the time scaring each other silly and trying to carry out cleansing rituals.  One character is so New Age she's downright painful to listen to, another keeps saying "I love all ghosts" over and over.  The payoff, when it comes, is quick, blurry, and inconclusive.  Ditch this garbage; watch GRAVE ENCOUNTERS instead. 1.5/5
