Not entirely sure how spoilers go, BUT ... as the creator of the thread, how about just spoiler tag whatever you wanna discuss @Emblazon

Well yes, but if no one else has seen it, there's not much point in posting the spoilers. 

I fucking LOVED it. Seriously, go see it so I can talk about it. So many theories!

looks like a twisted merging of The Ring and It Follows

It's exactly that. In all the best ways. 

Sooo damn good. Easily my top horror film of the year so far. That. Fucking. Finale. 😲

Holy shit. The run time is 148 minutes. This is going to be EPIC. Got my tickets for Friday night. Can't wait!

Dahmer was dumb. Like really really dumb. I had a difficult time watching the show because he was such an idiot. It took an astounding level of gross incompetence across a not small number of people for him to not have been caught 20 times over. 

I want to see a show similar to this, only about the Chicago Ripper Crew. That would be terrifying. 

Just rewatched the first one to prepare for the second, and I almost forgot just how good the movie is. Watching it now I really started to notice just how many common horror tropes and cliches the movie flips around and reverses. Ridiculously well done. 

Between 2, Smile, and Grimcutty, we're in for a wild two weeks!

And in the 80s no less. It's going to be amazing. Going to see Pearl this weekend. 

It's horrible that their worst live action remake is the first to get a sequel. 

While I enjoyed it, it felt like the film was trying to do too much. It also required pretty much everyone in the film to do stupid things just for the movie to move forward. 

It's very similar to Don't Breathe... but I'd say Don't Breathe is quite a bit better than this movie.

The name is dumb, but the functionality looks good.

It's functionality that looks good that's still covering up a giant black part of the screen. There's nothing "Dynamic" about that spot when watching video. 

It's also been how Galaxy devices handle notifications for about half a decade. 

And here I've never been happier to NOT be on iPhone. "Dynamic Island"??? GMAFB. 

Fuck. Yes. My most anticipated horror movie of this Halloween season. Rather surprised they didn't increase the production quality, but it's not going to take away from my enjoyment of the film. 

I have last year's Buds Pro, and they're great bedtime earbuds because there's no physical buttons on them. The one real downside they have is they're really not great for working out, as they're just not secure enough. My Beats Fit Pro are still my favorite earbuds, and the only thing that hold them back are the buttons when trying to sleep. Though, I do believe you can disable the buttons in the settings.

I wouldn't mind seeing how the HD audio is with the Buds Pro 2, but I can't really justify that expense with all the other headphones I have. 

OK. This phone is just ridiculous. It's a one handed device when I want it, and a tablet when I need it. And dare I say, multi-tasking is set up better on the Fold 4 than the iPad Pro. I have yet to find a single thing about this device that annoys me. Even crazier still - the Samsung split keyboard is better than Google's version. Gboard has some of the same letters on both sides of the keyboard and it fucks with my brain.

I bet @Emblazon don't give a fuck given what a pumpkin whore he is.

I'm already putting out Halloween decorations. I've been having Pumpkin Ale and Keurig Pumpkin coffee for a good month, already.

I don't see where it mentions the Paramount + streaming version.

I never said anything about FREE streaming. Rent & Purchase VOD is 8/23. That's all I care about.

Don't count on that 8/23 date, pretty sure they removed it. 

8/23 is officially locked in as the streaming launch date. 

They announced their new Flip, Fold, Watch, and Buds yesterday. 

I've got the S22 Ultra, and I've never seen a screen scratch so much so quickly... and I work from home. 

I also have the Watch 4, which I really like, but the battery life is abysmal, and it's got some of the worst charging times I've ever experienced. 

So, I ordered the Watch 5 Pro, which fixes both those issues, got $200 off with the trade in, and a free dual wireless charging pad. 

I also once got a new car when my windshield cracked... so I ordered the Fold 4. The deal was just too good:

• Unlocked

• $1000 trade in (which is crazy good for a Samsung phone)

• Free upgrade to 512GB

• Free kickstand case with S Pen

• $300 in Samsung credit

Im looking forward to both the smaller form factor and the ridiculously larger screen and added functionality that comes with. 

I already have the Buds Pro, and they're great but you absolutely can't workout in them. They're basically my bedtime buds because I can lay on my side and it's still comfortable and the lack of buttons don't pause what's playing when pressed against a pillow.

My son keeps asking when this movie comes out because he wants to watch it at home. I hadn't checked on its status lately but I figured it was still making money in theater. Crazy.

I want to see it sometime soon.

8/23. I'm counting down the seconds while still trying to get out to see if for that 5th time. I would kill to see it in 4DX. 

I'd go so far as to consider this movie "1B" in the franchise in terms of ranking.

Were you a skater? I was in the 80s and 90s. I watched Thrashin’ a lot.

 

 @SimpleG

I raced BMX, and dabbled in skating. I could watch RAD on an endless loop and never tire of it.

I've heard it's a well made show but I have a problem with this "dramatic retellings" of real events that are completely false especially when the people who actually lived through these events are still alive. It's why I haven''t watched this OR Winning Time on HBO. I don't really see the point and would rather watch real fiction. This article actually turned me off of watching this show despite the fact that The Godfather is probably my favorite movie of all time.

 

Peter Bart: ‘The Offer’ Spins A Mafia Tale About ‘The Godfather’ That’s Really More Fiction Than Fact

DEADLINE.COM

---

The Offer is based on anecdotes supplied by The Godfather producer Al Ruddy, but differ from the accounts of those who made the movie, Peter Bart writes.

 

Meh. I still hold Braveheart to be the greatest cinematic masterpiece of all time, despite its inaccuracies. Dramatic films aren't intended to be 100% historically accurate. They're meant to entertain. Otherwise it'd be a documentary. 

Watch it. Enjoy it. If it gets you to go to Wiki and other sites to learn more, all the better for it. 

Monster Squad. 

Another Shane Black classic. No way in hell it gets made today with the same script, but seeing wolfman get blown up, and then his body reassembles? Win.
