Here's where we talk about movies in the challenge! Mostly it will be gifs and jpgs.

I'm thinking I might make one to keep in the trunk of the car though. Might be nice to have hot water if I ever have to watch a Matthews compound for 3-4 days hoping to get the drop on Sergio Frenchi. - Neon Bolan

Nobody else is doing it this year. It would just be you and me and I'm just going to say I watch the 6 episodes of Battlestar Galactica that are on Comet every day and claim that's horror because killer robots.

I'm watching the colorized version of Night of the Living Dead for the first time because (1), I like the movie and it's generally a part of my October watching; (2), I've never seen this colorized version; and (3), I want cheezits from Amazon (check the deals forum).

I...okay, I don't give a shit that this was done. I always have my Criterion Collection Blu-ray to go to, but...this was pointless. For one, it's not even cleaned up. It's soft as fuck. Second, I can't put my finger on why exactly, but this film works so much better in black-and-white. I'll admit that that could be just because that's how I've seen it countless times, but I don't think that's all it. It just loses something.

Anywho, still a good film, but stick to it in black-and-white. Unless you want some cheezits.

And it ALWAYS bothers me that...

Yes, I'll use a fucking spoiler on an 80-year-old movie. Some people might not have seen it. LET PEOPLE ENJOY THINGS.

This Thread is broken. AR is quoting himself and there is no like button.

The thread I would make would have been better than this thread. My thread would have been best of all threads.

You know that could just mean I hope you DON'T give Covid. Nothing's final yet. :(
