On TV years and years ago. That one was a pain to find when I was younger. Thanks to DVD & the internet I have no excuse anymore... I remember liking it but I remember liking an awful lot of not-very-good-stuff when I was younger... -remember revisiting Return of the Living Dead, Part II, the nightmares and shame will not go away...

I've always loved this one and thankfully it's in the Criterion Collection so that aids me when I try and convince people this movie is actually pretty entertaining and not nearly as bad/cheesy as it's reputation says it is. It's in the Criterion Collection so therefore it's art! -Just recently watched what people have been calling the Japanese version of The Blob, 'The H-Man'. It's not like The Blob very much at all as a matter of fact. But that's a good one too (I'm a big fan/sucker for Japanese sci-fi/fantasy/monster movies so your mileage may vary.).

He's cool in that sort of way. Fun fact about OLD DOGS: Features the last film appearance of Bernie Mac. He died shortly he did his scene.

I'll totally be there for MAJESTYK: THE MOVIE. RRA: If the wretched trailer for that upcoming film with Travolta, Robin Williams and Seth Green is any indication of the movie itself, Green owes me one serious bit of self-mockery.

So it holds a special place in my heart. Cracked is my favorite location for crazy factoids that I would never know about or care about otherwise. So it holds a special place in my heart.
