I have this little gem on tape, having picked it with my pile of VHS horror tapes a little before October last year. I haven't gotten to it yet, but I now look forward to viewing this dreck, come this years annual horror feastAck wrote:

Not a film, per say, but I watched the documentary footage that came out with Untold History of Japanese Game Developers.
Some really fantastic, rare, exclusive footage of Japanese video game history. After reading a bit into the making of the book/film, it sounds like there is some controversy surrounding John Szczepaniak's time there. But regardless, some of the footage and history presented in this nearly 4 hour long series of footage is priceless. As someone who is fascinated by Japanese video game history, this feels like a grail of sorts.
Anyone else either buy the book, film, or both? I havn't purchased the book yet, but i'd really like to in the next month or so.
Also, anyone else know of any obscure/rare video game history documentary/films. I've seen most of the well known ones, but if anyone has any recommendations, let me know!

Super interested on people's expectations of 50 SHADES OF GREY.
Will it be the next SHOWGIRLS? Do you want to see full bush and simulated sex on a huge screen? Would you take your significant other to see this? Is it a "first date" movie? Have you seen the author of the book? Does it turn you on or off that it's a story about a rich guy using a middle class gal as a sex slave? Ya think it's completely stupid that the actors have cgi genitalia and don't actually f*ck, when the movie is about f*cking? Do you totally not give a f*ck?
Something a bit odd; a lot of my guy pals don't like their gals watching MAGIC MIKE or wanting them to see 50 SHADES OF GREY. It's as if they are afraid their wife is going to live out or even think out a fantasy sex dream.

Grizzly
There is a bear in the woods. For some people, the bear is easy to see. Others don't see it at all. Some people say the bear is tame. Others say it's vicious and dangerous. Since no one can really be sure who's right, isn't it smart to be as strong as the bear? If there is a bear.
Vote Ronald Reagan.
I prefer to think of this as Masturbating Bear: The Movie, because the bear prefers to eat women and breaths heavily while doing it. There is also a lot of creepy stalker POV shots from the bear's view while he's sneaking through the bushes and checking out women(one of which is scantily clad). Yeah... Also, it's a Jaws rip off, and despite being a killer bear movie, there was not one exploding yellow sleeping bag. I was upset.
Grizzly features a bit of blood, a lot of extreme closeups and jump shots to simulate bear attacks, and a prehistoric grizzly that changes in size from 15-feet to 18-feet and was played by a grizzly that was only 11-feet(which is still massive). They piped in roaring effects because the actual grizzly had been trained not to roar, and they fed it marshmallows and then held one in front of its face and filmed it as it reacted. Any of you guys seen the "bear attack footage" in Faces of Death? Yeah, it's kind of like that, only not as stupid.
Basically an ancient bear wanders down into a national park and gets a taste for people. So the park rangers have to try and fight it while dealing with a schmuck who doesn't want to close down the park or give the park rangers any help while yelling at them for not finishing the job, because he wants to be a congressman or get appointed to work in Washington as part of the national parks or some such nonsense. Who knows? The important thing is that the heroes have to take out the bear with no help beyond a bunch of men, a bunch of random hunters, a helicopter, a bunch of rifles, and a rocket launcher that Christopher George pulls out of his ass. Yep, a rocket launcher
The end result is a bear-sized crater. Christopher George, star of Mortuary, Graduation Day, Pieces, City of the Living Dead, and Enter the Ninja, kills a giant bear with a rocket launcher after seeing it maul his friends. Phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal. I admit, I slow clapped.
It's unfortunate that the sequel, Grizzly II: The Predator, never came out. I would have loved to have seen Charlie Sheen and George Clooney take on an invisible giant bear that stalks through the South American jungle using its heat vision so it can find and take trophies of its prey. That would have been awesome.

I'm happy to hear about John Wick 2.J T wrote:^ That pretty much sums up how I felt about John Wick as well. It was good if you're looking for some badass shooting and action.
Now, I just hope all this stuff makes enough money because I'd love to see an Equalizer X John Wick movie.

When Worlds Collide
Was this the first doomsday disaster movie? It did influence whatever followed it that's for certain.

That does suck as I see George's father starred in the original there.Ack wrote: It's unfortunate that the sequel, Grizzly II: The Predator, never came out.

Intruder(1989) Unrated Director's Cut
Loved this slasher flick it's like every grocery store workers nightmare . Basically the night crew at a small town grocery store chain gets terrorized by a sadistic killer who commences to dispatching them in the goriest ways possible with a variety of weapons and shop equipment.
This movie was very cheaply shot, but they did an amazing job with it. Basically the whole movie takes place inside the market with only a few scenes getting as far away as the parking lot, and the actors aren't super impressive in their performances. However they really have fun with the setting and the characters while hokey as hell are fun to watch. They also put an insane amount of detail into the deaths the gore is definitely gag worthy in a few spots and the slasher has a thing for dismembering and posing the bodies. The ending is also priceless in just how logical but screwed up it is.
About the only thing I don't like about the film is the box for this release. For one thing they really hype Bruce Campbell's 10-15 second appearance at the very end of the film. They also have a idiotic selection of pictures on the back one that almost reveals the slashers face and a picture with Bruce Campbell's face Photoshopped into a scene
.
Overall I highly recommend this movie to anyone who likes B-movies. Plus if you have ever worked night crew for a grocery chain or retail store this movie is especially fun.
Things I found funny:
1. The store is having financial problems in the movie and has been losing money for months, but the managers can't figure out why. Well maybe it's the fact that everyone on the night crew is eating/drinking merchandise every other minute .
2. Everyone is oblivious to the fact that a murderer is loose for pretty much the whole film so they go on with their usual jobs not noticing body parts/blood/etc. all over the place .
3. Each character literally spends the entire film restocking the same exact item over and over. There is literally a box of detergent that gets knocked over and put back on the shelf probably 10-15 times in the span of the movie .

Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
Oh man, that sounds awesome! I've worked the late shift in a few places, and I can tell you a lot of crap happens during then, some of it far less than savory.
As far as the box is concerned, I'm not surprised. I just watched the trailer, and it is much worse in terms of how much it gives away.
