Lulls suck ! How about this .....?

[Rants Mulliniks]

LOL. I was doing that in a crowded bar one time, looking across the other side and crushing people's heads. This one drunk guy (whose head I had just crushed) walks over and gives me a big hug and says "I LOVE the Kids in the Hall"! Ha ha ha....

I really loved that movie when I first saw it. I watched it recently and I didn't recall how much the fight sequences looked like choreographed dance. It kind of took me away from the movie a bit. Such an interesting story otherwise.

 

[nsleaf]

oh noes!!!!!!

that means you've seen Pepe Le Pew, I really hope it didn't turn you into an overly aggressive womanizing misogynist jks

below is an actual comment on FB in regard to this latest "outrage controversy"

Yea, I was a naive kid at the time, but times have changed, I guess.

Selected it mainly because Daniel Day Lewis is my favourite actor. There aren't many who do a better job of getting into a character.

It's weird how seeing so much un-curated content recently mostly through Youtube and a new filter of calling out bigoted/destructive/subversive/marginalizing humour has soured a lot of past entertainment. Even stuff from the 90s I once loved.

All 4 characters in Seinfeld it turned out were sociopaths as admitted in the series finale. It pushed the Overton window and not for the better: it amplified the snark, the narcissism, the nihilism, etc. all while being an amalgam of the best sitcom techniques of the previous 40+ years.
Now we discover that every Disney sitcom child actor/actress is an emotional mess who may or may not have suffered abuse.
Every sitcom with a laugh track or audience laughter feels completely off now. Many faux documentary sitcoms now look completely dated too: its performers mugging for the camera has been completely played. Every product placement in Friends including pornography presented as a mainstream pastime. Every time Carla insults Cliff, Norm and Woody just seems mean. Every time disaffected Jeff insults Britta, Pierce and the Dean makes me sad. Then came the race-baiting (and gender-baiting) sitcom humour of the late 2010s when everything went completely off the rails.

Wow Butch at number 1 eh. I recently watched that movie for the first time. was great. Shawshank at 2 is awesome. I feel The Good The Bad And The Ugly is missing

Agreed. That one season though was amazing. Every episode was a classic.

 

[moon111]

Haven't had a T.V. hooked up to satellite in probably two decades? But still managed to enjoy:

• Vikings
• The Walking Dead
• Fear the Walking Dead
• Sons of Anarchy
• Mayans
• Westworld
• Stranger Things
• Orange is the New Black.

There's a lot of good movies could add that other's have already listed, but admit really enjoying the guilty-pleasure of an action movies without a huge plot.:

• Star Wars
• Transformers
• Rambo

Maybe one that isn't an action movie that I really liked that I find some haven't seen is:

• Come and See

 

[meefer]

I'll only offer sports:

1. Ted Lasso, if only because I just finished it and damn it, being a decent human being has merit, and it's funny as.
2. The White Shadow.
3. Major League
4. Breaking Away.
5. Raging Bull.
6. Caddyshack.
7. Rudy.
8. Slapshot.
9. Bull Durham.
10. The Hustler.

Honorable mentions:

1. A League of Their Own.
2. Chariots of Fire.
3. The Longest Yard. (Burt Reynolds)

If there was a feature to double the total amount of likes a member has, I'd do so for having included The Hilarious House of Frightenstein. LOL. Loved that show! And really, it was the only show of it's kind I could stomach. Sid and Marty Krofft gave me the heebie-jeebies as did most of that kind of show. I was a little kid and if I recall it was on...CHCH? Didn't watch it when it first came out but did in reruns in the 70s.

Now if you were able to find the intro to Black Belt Theatre (Kung Fu Theatre?) from Ch.29 Buffalo, I'll find a way to double those likes even if I have to do so for your next 5000 posts.

Memory Lane's worth it.

Maybe my all-time favorite film. It's perfection.

Perhaps an HM to The Natural? Remember feeling the chills during this scene:

Canadian shows that persevered despite awful production ... Beachcombers and King of Kensington.

Fan of This Hour has 22 Minutes. Been to the live studio production several times, lot of fun.

CHCH Saturday mornings. Followed by Spider-Man and Harrigan (leprechaun)

CHCH is now retro between 9-5 weekdays. They have warning messages before shows like Brady bunch and Gilligans Island, hahahah crazy sad times (sorry Teeder I don’t mean to derail the convo into something else)

How about Memphis Rasssslin

Memphis rasslin’ is fantastic but as a kid, it was Maple Leaf Wrestling which showed the best of the NWA, AWA and WWF. Good times

Anyone remember The Forest Rangers?
