Finding New Shit on TV

Anyone see Magic? I think it came out in the 70s. Creepy ventriloquist doll comes to life.

No, but I read a Goosebumps book with the same exact plot line.

One of the better scores at the Scholastic book fair…right on up there with my Lamborghini poster

"Some dude in a goofy mask comes at you with a knife, dude’s getting shot."

Jeep says run towards a gun, run away from a knife.

My little brother had over 100 Goosebumps books, organized perfectly in his room.

Your ventriloquist doll is at the :40 mark:

Yep. 100%

Well unless you have a gun. Then shoot them, right?

I love Jeopardy! and watch it almost every night. Gonna have to skip it next week though. joe buck is hosting. I even watched that shill, dr oz, but I can't watch joe.

Bummer.

Jungle Cruise was a great flick, but I fear we fucked up letting our 5yo see it. Some creepy Pirates of the Caribbean type stuff in there…

[jfish26]

Builds character.

Mrs 99 and I went to see it last week. I told her it was "The African Queen" meets "Pirates of the Caribbean".

[jhawks99]

When our first kid was little, we took her to see "Mars Attacks" because I thought it looked funny. She kind of freaked out at the end when all the Martians heads were exploding into green goo. It was a long time before I lived that one down.

Anyone planning on watching the new remake of Fantasy Island? Probably no little guy in a white suit.

[sdoyel]

Looks good.

Definitely inspired or informed the Chucky series. Also seems like it inspired this allsome pinball game. Played it a lot in the early 90s.

Kind of Spoiler alert for Succession season 2:






I saw that shit coming but even though I did, man it felt good to see Kendall play his hand.

[Deleted User 89]

watched first season of Dirty John on netflix

pretty good, and loosely based on actual events

[jhawks99]

TCM had Barbarella on last night. Yup it's on the DVR.

The Walking Dead Season 11 (final season) begins next weekend. 24 episodes remain and it will be split into 3 segments. Fall 21, Spring 22, Fall 22.

I finally got to watch the last 6 episodes of Season 10 this past week after a long hiatus. I didn’t get to see them when they were originally released (plus they had filming delays due to Covid anyway). It reminded me just how damn good this show is/was.

I've been a pretty die hard fan of the series, but the last few seasons haven't been very good. I'll watch the final episodes, just to see how it finally ends. When Rick Grimes left, it just hasn't been the same.
