Starting my day off with the classic Das Wachsfigurenkabinett (1924). Hopefully I like it a bit more this time around as opposed to the last time I saw it.

Rainin' this mornin'. Work just canceled (who knows, might call me back in). A day off in the middle of the week is a nice little present.

Just finished Wishmaster. Something like the third time or so I've seen it, and it's always been a good, albeit b-movie quality, piece of fun.

Pff. I have been branded shit taste for like 10 years and I accept it, laugh with you all and roll with it.

People need to be less sensitive. Imagine if people laughed at themselves more... very healthy thing to do.
Jiggy hated on TCM2, pretty sure he's got that crown pretty firm right now :P
Not my fault it is an absolutely shit movie. :P
That's some good ballot-box stuffing there :P

When watching Cyborg last night, I got to wondering what would be my favorite Cannon film, and I couldn't think of one that could rank higher than TCM2. Surprisingly there was a filter on Flickchart, and sure enough, TCM2 sits at the top, Bloodsport not far behind it, then Cyborg, then Kickboxer for 3rd.

Then I got curious what Canon films were considered the greatest, and TCM2 was praised very high on most sites, but this one ranked it first (and Bloodsport 2nd, though Cyborg was at a paltry 15th, boo).

I can't sit through Superman IV anymore though, I've tried but never could like it. Even as a kid.

I'm also not a big fan of The Evil Dead or Motel Hell. Stuff away. :P

Finished the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake just twenty minutes ago or so. Can't believe how utterly blah it felt. Definitely didn't love it when I first saw it, but now, it just seems so bland.

Was going to finally watch Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation, but I'm having a bitch of a time finding the uncut 95-minute version. Best I can find is the cut 86 minute version.

If I'm going to watch a shitty movie, I'm going to watch the best version of it I can find. :P

Apparently the uncut version was released in Canada with a Lion's Gate logo on it, while the most commonly released version in the US is the cut version. May have to try and track down the Canadian DVD before watching this one.

VHS would be nice, but at the moment, I don't have a way to play any vhs tapes.

Wasn't big on the remake, liked it okay at first, but rewatches just kept getting worse and worse. The only things I consistently liked were Ermy and Daniel Pearl's cinematography.

Not sure if I've seen that version or not.

It's expected to hit that again Saturday. Sucks cause it's low 60's today.

You can watch the extended bits online. You aren't missing anything. Renee Zellweger has a couple minutes in the beginning with her abusive stepfather, then it is just a bunch of 30 second cuts for time. Letherface putting on lipstick for 30 seconds, 30 seconds of redundant dialogue, 30 seconds more of running during chases, etc.

Is the movie shitty in a good way? Still enjoyable? I don't think I've seen TCM past part 3 accept for the one with Jessica Beil because she has a great ass. Lol

Mathew Macaughnahay is pretty spectacular, but that's it. The choices they make with Leatherface is insulting, and the twist in the end is more "wtf?" rather than "give us more of that!"

I need a movie where the same illuminati that control the Sawyer Family and Michael Myers also developed the Voorhees worm demon.

I think it is safe to say we all want proper sequels to JGTH, H6, and TCM:TNG, as they are all such stellar installments.
