Tonight's Stinker
The 30 Foot Bride of Candy Rock(1959)
https://youtu.be/6ciAPmIEbY4?si=n-4Cpdo5pDCO3rsy

Lou Costello is a scientist who's just built a tiny supercomputer..... Unfortunately, he has to pay for it by driving a garbage truck, which also not fully paid for....
Meanwhile, the local bank owner, who owns half the town & holds a lien on the other half, is running for governor... He's trying to suck up to a TV talk show host by putting up a front as the nicest guy in town, which he has a hard time holding up...... Another problem the banker has, is warning the men of the town not to go near his niece, who's already secretly dating Costello...
Costello & the girl sneak out to a mesa so he can try out his computer on natural radiation (or something), but after an argument, she storms off into a radiation cloud & comes back thirty feet tall.... When Costello tries to tell the banker, he misunderstands, believing his niece is pregnant, and orders the pair be secretly married...
Mayhem continues to ensue as Costello tries to keep his new bride happy while the banker tries to protect his campaign....

Bud Abbott is not in this movie, & I think it works out better for it, as I've never found the pair all that funny.... This film got quite a few chuckles outa me.... Thumb up!

"King Kong Vs. Godzilla" (1963)

When the Big Green Guy, who's been frozen inside an iceberg, thaws out and begins doing the Monster Mash on Japan, an expedition is quickly sent to the Faroe Islands to capture King Kong and sic him on the giant lizard. Naturally, lots of rubber suited mayhem ensues. Sometimes, vintage Japanese monster gibberish just hits the right spot.
There's a persistent urban legend that claims the Asian version of "KK vs G." shows Godzilla as the winner of the big fight, while Kong is the winner in the American version, but the movie ends in a draw.

I don't think people are hazing you, so much as having difficult accepting that you're a real person because of the (to put it mildly) unusual and hard-to-follow nature of your posts. Personally, I think you are sincere, and just one of the many lovable eccentrics who have chosen to inhabit this forum.  :cheers:

Quote from: Rev. Powell on September 10, 2026, 09:11:48 PMI wish Dalmatian and Metropolis had been able to talk to each other. The conversations they'd have had!

😅

I'm sure Dalmatian is WyreWizard or DrSimonCowell and I'm almost certain his posts are AI generated.



I can do a lot of things. But I can't prevent the birth of your parents. And I can't stop this Iran war. Theodore Sturgeon was a book author he wrote science fiction? Are you some kind of wacky L Ron Hubbard aficionado? What gives. Like with this hazing crap (oops I said I wasn't going to do that again! Well blame Trevor on that one. Maybe try sponsoring a Nanny from the Phillipines. Since you are such a proffer for the Nanny State syndrome.)

By the way you are wrong on just about everything you say, especially on the movie knowledge stuff. So it makes sense that you wish — whatever it is you

Anything that isn't you? Well that is obvious.

I'm excited about the upcoming Hallmark Family Holiday film: LET'S EAT GRANDMA!  :smile:

Speaking of miscategorized family films:
I just DLd HOUSE ON THE EDGE OF THE PARK from Soulseek.
The user I DL'd it from had it in a folder titled "Family Movies".
Oh boy.
I messaged him and mentioned this, just out of amusement. But I don't think he appreciated it.

You're right - SOMETHING WILD is a great movie. Again, when it comes to Griffith, maybe it's all about the hair!

Well it is dripping with 80s cool, and if my younger self had seen it at the time, I am sure I would have thought it ultra-cool

It has been a while since I've seen a movie with peak Melanie Griffith, but I saw Something Wild when it came out, and there she blew me away. I don't think Cherry 2000 would have had quite the same effect. Come to think of it, both movies have a similar premise: yuppie gets drawn into a violent adventure with a carefree woman. Something Wild does it infinitely better.

Not that there is that much wrong with Cherry 2000. In fact, I enjoyed it rather more than I thought I would, mainly because of the completely bonkers world building. It is just that it doesn't have that much going for it either. And that is my main criterium for deciding between the good movie/bad movie category: is it worth your time. Cherry 2000 is just too much by the numbers.
