Sometimes a scene cross fades into another scene. Sometimes a scene cross fades back into itself. Sometimes a scene cross fades into two scenes cross fading on top of each other. You’ll never guess what cross fade is next in John Carpenter’s Ghosts of Mars!

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Tiptoes. I saw Deep Star Six in the Natick Sack Theater. I saw endless horribly rendered Boston accents in film. All these memories will be lost like tears in rain, or Lloyd Bridges when he’s tied to that merry-go-round in Blown Away.

I’ll tell you what, our household is all about @LouDPhillips movies. We return to our favorites all the damn time.

I was gifted both 300 movies on blu-ray, and it still takes random clickbait articles on Facebook to remind me that they exist.

Watching Fire Down Below with my kid, and a guy says to Steven Seagal, “You better bring me something!” And Seagal answers in his patented acting style, “When have I not brought you something?” so my kid and me yelled simultaneously, “Like RIGHT NOW!” My best fatherhood moment.

Watched Fire Down Below with my kid yesterday and when I told him I saw it in the theater he couldn’t believe it wasn’t straight-to-video. Gonna have to show him some straight-to-video Seagal now so he can truly understand.

Every factoid I read about Veronica Cartwright suggests some manipulative director didn’t tell her some horrific thing was going to happen when the cameras rolled, and now I’m wondering if at any point she actually knew she was being filmed.

I require no further knowledge of any factoids about the making of Pulp Fiction.

Time to watch a movie in Chace Digital Stereo!

I wonder how many brownface comedy screenplays Rob Schneider has optioned and is sitting on right now.

If the movies have taught us anything, it’s that the cure for cancer will involve giant anacondas, sharks that swim backwards, and Sean Connery misplacing it somewhere in the jungle.

The SyFy Channel sequels to Anaconda are certainly the worst of the franchise, but at the same time are in no arguable way the worst of the SyFy Channel creature features. We live in a cruel, crazy beautiful world.

I imagine Spaceballs 2 will be to Spaceballs what The Jesus Rolls was to The Big Lebowski.

Am I gonna see some Rambo…uh…prequel thing that has some rando instead of Sly Stallone? Yes. Yes, I will.

The third Shaft TV-movie is the perfect choice if you are in the mood for montages of Richard Roundtree walking around to the sound of funk soul jazz and lots of actors saying the name Simmons every two minutes.

Wilford Brimley was 48 years old when he appeared in John Carpenter’s The Thing.

The Rock got casted. share.google/uDG1vZtf3btz2PO…

You can take the clerk out of the video store, but you can’t take the video store out of the clerk.

This tracks, right?

Name that movie! “The popcorn you’re eating has been pissed in. Film at eleven.”
