Off Topic Rants

I actually remember the days where 3D glasses were made of cardboard and had blue and red lenses. Spy Kids 3D it was.

It's a general rule of thumb nowadays to have 3D if it has a lot of special effects. It makes the audience more immersed in the action and it generates extra income. Who in the film industry can argue with that?

Your first 3d as a kid was Spykids, mine was Freddy's Dead. Odd, I can still remember that from 26 or so years ago, but I can barely remember my 20s.

Hoo boy, as much as I love Freddy's evil sense of humour, they made Freddy into an evil Bugs Bunny in that movie. Typical for an 80's slasher series, start off scary and serious only to get cheesier and borderline self-parodying over time.

I was about 10-11, I don't remember much about the movie but I remember it being so cheesy.

it is funny to see how its classified by IMDB in this order: Comedy, Fantasy, Horror.

I agree, the first one terrified me.... of course I was 5-6 at the time. The ones after that just got more and more slapstick

The movies scared the crap out of my mother during the 80's or 90's so she wouldn't let me watch the movies until I was 14. When I could watch them, I ended up loving them. A couple years ago, my mother watched them again and said that now they look cheesy in terms of acting and special effects. Some movies just simply don't age well.

What I like about the 1980's was that it was a decade that didn't take itself to seriously all the time. The 80's are one of my favorite decades for films for this reason.

Well, I AM a product of the 80's, maybe thats why Im this way.

I love cheesy 80s movies, but horror is one genre I think needs to stick with, at least mostly serious. Its hard to take a movie monster as a threat if he is running around like the Leprechaun

Most of the college kids are leaving the area for the Summer! Hooray!

Less wait times at restaurants, less crime, less accidents, and more peace and quiet...

Watch me once, you are spooked.
Watch me twice, you are laughing.
Watch me thrice, you are rolling your eyes in disgust.

Didn't you pretty much just describe every horror film franchise in existence with that? =P

I guess, heh heh.

I can think of a horror film franchise that should have ended after the first film. I'm looking at you, Paranormal Activity!

Seriously, the first film was actually suspenseful and people in the theater were actually screaming because you honestly didn't know what to expect. Like the Blair Witch Project, it was a rather unorthodox film that took a risk. The film really lost its novelty when they started making sequels.

The owners of that film series be like:

Me and my best friend rented that when we were teens. We didn't last 2 minutes into it because it showed a person sleep walking and my friend at the time was having horrible night terrors and sleep walking having them.

A wise choice not to watch it imo aha. Something about horror movies man... I'm half convinced there's actual evil in them. I used to be a horror buff but not anymore.

Having a story about a cute fluffy bunny rabbit handing out lollipops to orphans with cancer isn't exactly the most intimidating horror flick.

Really? Because that'd personally scare the hell out of me. ^-^

Locked and loaded. Just need Sean Paul for guesting...

"We're gunna dance all night, till the morning light. Baby you and me, till quarter past three. Hope the beat don't stop, gunna body drop, make yer heart go pop, Yeaah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeaaaaah."

New music Friday on Radio 1. That's my goal this week.

I think you pretty much covered all the bases, Moe. Good job.

.... I had a feeling those lyrics belonged to
Kei$ha before I even scrolled back further up to see her in the picture. Was I correct?

I googled these lyrics to see if they were from an actual song. That's a sad commentary in and of itself.

Amy Winehouse was the last of the TRUE greats. When she left us, she took the music industry with her.
