It's the sixth version of The Swamp. What could possibly go wrong?

If you have an Apple TV you can screen share. Although that doesn't sound like an option.
Warning: This is the new version. Repeat, do not record this one.DSafetyGuy wrote: ↑Mon Mar 16, 2020 6:15 pmThank you for reminding me about this. I did a little checking for future airings before my flight home changed, so I will be on this plan. Pausing/editing for TV may create some minor issues, but nothing serious.
Tango & Cash was snuggled up with Point Break in the box where I found the latter.brian wrote: ↑Tue Mar 17, 2020 11:39 am I think we can all agree Roadhouse is a perfect movie for the second pass at this, whenever that ends up being (maybe soon if Point Break goes well).
Let's come up with a list of some ideas for future ones so that people can either DVR them (if they're playing on cable) or purchase/borrow the DVDs with some lead time if they are not on any major streaming services. We have to be cognizant of not doing anything TOO obscure (which I'm going to break with one of my suggestions, but frankly it's a movie that everyone should own anyway).
Here's a quick list of some ones that I think would be fun:
The Room
Rocky IV
Over The Top
The Big Lebowski
(I think what we're looking for here is movies that would be fun to talk about, not necessarily "bad" movies. I don't really consider Roadhouse and Point Break to be "bad" movies, frankly.)
Right now, I need movies that get me the fuck out of our current situation. Times like this make me realize all of the shows I watch have a darkness to them. Even shows I think are fun goofball shows like Avenue 5 and Brockmire, all dark. Why don't I watch any happy shows?

That's about the right level of seriousness. I watched a web series he did a few years ago, no doubt I found it here. And his bit about why the Buffalo Bills are so great someone recently posted is fucking gold. I can't help wonder how much is an act, and how much is just him being weird. He is totally self aware, but I can't imagine he isn't weird.govmentchedda wrote: ↑Wed Mar 18, 2020 1:23 pmGo seek out Joe Pera Talks With You.

I'll do it, but only (and I'm not joking) because that was Peak Nicole Kidman.DSafetyGuy wrote: ↑Thu Mar 19, 2020 10:03 am Saw that DirecTV has Showtime and TMC free for a week, starting today.

Part of my interest is that a friend of mine does a podcast about bad movies with a couple friends/co-workers. They did an episode about a year ago on it and it was interesting hearing them talk about a movie so old that I was familiar with, but had not seen in a long time. The cultural changes that have happened in that time make for a much more interesting look back at a classic "80's" movie (it came out in 1990, but holds much more in common with the previous decade for obvious reasons).brian wrote: ↑Thu Mar 19, 2020 10:05 amI'll do it, but only (and I'm not joking) because that was Peak Nicole Kidman.DSafetyGuy wrote: ↑Thu Mar 19, 2020 10:03 am Saw that DirecTV has Showtime and TMC free for a week, starting today.

I stumbled across it a couple of years ago and watched the last half or so but I don't remember a whole lot, so I agree with the premise. Maybe Bronto will join in.DSafetyGuy wrote: ↑Thu Mar 19, 2020 2:22 pmPart of my interest is that a friend of mine does a podcast about bad movies with a couple friends/co-workers.

Yeah, it definitely would be good to have our resident NASCAR expert in the crew.brian wrote: ↑Thu Mar 19, 2020 2:52 pmI stumbled across it a couple of years ago and watched the last half or so but I don't remember a whole lot, so I agree with the premise.

These work too.DSafetyGuy wrote: ↑Thu Mar 19, 2020 6:38 pm I wasn't trying to think of a nominee for Movie #3, I just thought it would be something stupid we could comment on. Deep cast, directed by Tony Scott (Top Gun, True Romance, etc.).
That said, I did think of a suggestion for a future movie. Good movie, works well with a large portion of the Swamp due to age, and I know it's been talked about here.
I think the "once a week" thing works. "Road House" is (unsurprisingly) going to be aired by AMC shortly. I think watching it live and edited for TV (or recorded and played at the same time) could be entertaining because we can grouse about things being cut.
I do have the DVD for that one. The Kevin Smith commentary track was a selling point, but is surprisingly disappointing.DSafetyGuy wrote: ↑Thu Mar 19, 2020 10:26 pmI think the "once a week" thing works.
