String together movie titles: The Game

List a movie title and use the last word in the title as the first word in another movie's title to make the longest, most ridiculous movie title out there.

Example:

The Premature Burial Ground: The Nihgts of Terror Training Day of the Dead Man Walking Tall

and don't reuse a title. Let's see what you can come up with.

Sci-Fi / Fantasy Challenge

Because somebody's got to host it.


No exceptional rules this year. 1 point per minute, movie or tv counts.

---

EDIT: It appears that the title of the thread isn't enough to indicate that the movies or shows watched must be of the SCI-FI or FANTASY genre.

---

Begins 12am September 1st
Ends 6am October 1st

The winner gets fakes money.



Make your spots.

A word from box...

Not much news going on lately as I indifferently approach the would-be best time of activity for the site. I think COVID made a lot of people even too lazy for the internet, but we'll cross our fingers that the October Challenge shows the return of at least a few familiar faces. Try to spam it to your friends and family. If you have ideas on how to make October great again, then speak up.


As I juggle my time between stupid work and stupid school, I am (slowly) working on some dumb shit I may as well mention.

Users will have a credit and inventory system, basically trash dollars to gamble and buy virtual items here on TE. While some of these items will have site-specific shennanigans attached to them, most of them will be used in a D&D/pokemon type of collecting/battling system I'm working on. However, instead of collecting pokemon, you'll collect people and characters from the TE database, and you'll battle other users and their random-ass trash characters.

To me, this is a stepping stone project to further game development, but I'm in no rush to spit out something subpar just yet. I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

Part of the appeal is also to generate activity, perhaps through the characters that are collected (relevant topics, reviews, etc) as well as giving incentive for challenge participating. I think it can be fun, but it makes more sense in my head than to spin it into a yarn that makes sense on here.




In my obsessive stupor, I've also been nerding out over Marvel Comics as I try to sort through character lists. That company is a glorious mess, but they must be awful to work for. The movies left out so much.


Tronald Dump vs Sleepy Joe Hiden, Batman has COVID, masks masks and more masks, racism galore... 2020 needs to fuck off.

What movies have you bought lately?

Since I haven't done this in so long, I'm just saying lately instead of this week. I've really been busy with a lot of other things.

I have bought a lot of movies in the past few months.

Super Hero Draft

Okay everyone, since the superheroes seem to be the topic of choice lately, I thought we could do a super hero draft. If you're interested sign up here and I will get it started once we have enough participants.

Official Trash Epics Top 100 Horror Movies (result)

10 TE users including myself made a ranked list from 50 to 100 movies. I used a simple points system meaning the top movie in a list of 100 got 100 points, the second 99 and so on with 1 point for the 100th movie. For lists with less than 100 movies I recalculated the positions as if it were a list of 100.

The result was a list of 452 unique movies. I shall for now just post the top 100. When movies ended on equal points, the movie which appears on most lists will come first. If that is the same too the movies are ranked according to the highest positions on the lists.

Trash Epics members Top 100 Horror Movies

As the title already says I would like to create a top 100 of horror movies from individual lists from each who likes to make a list.
Tromafreak created an individual top 100 horror a while ago, that's the kind of thing I'm talking about. He could actually use that one if that hasn't changed til now.

Now I understand that for some it might not be possible to come up with 100 so I set a minimum of 50 movies.

So these are the rules:

• Those who want to provide a list reserve a spot here where the list can be typed or copy pasted

• Only full feature horror movies no shorts or TV shows will be accepted
• The movies should be ranked and numbered, number 1 is your best, 2 second best and so on
• You must provide a minimum of 50 movies and a maximum of 100. This means you can provide any number of movies between 50 and 100 if that suits you better.
• You get a week time to compile your list (not from today but from the moment enough people signed up for this project).

I think this will be fun, so sign up horror & trash lovers.

Ok you all get until Saturday 22nd August 2020 to finalize your list.

Red Velvet (2008)

You guys, this movie was made for us. It has a pathetic rating on IMDB, 4.something. But I'm pretty sure that's just because most people watching it wouldn't understand the references. I think it's pretty interesting.

The beginning makes me think of Harold Pinter plays... just the way the two main characters talk to each other. Well, like Harold Pinter, but FUNNY. Henry Thomas is hilarious. I shouldn't say too much about that.

I am gonna hope that a few people here have already seen it, and might have things to say. I will just say that it was clearly made for horror fans to appreciate. I could see little homages to Suspiria, Toolbox Murders, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, random Rob Zombie movies, The Shining and/or Donnie Darko, Pet Sematary, David Lynch stuff of course... possibly a little Pieces... possibly a little Witchboard... probably some other stuff I'm missing.

Just start watching, and see if you get hooked. I thought the conversation in the laundromat, which evolves into a lunch date at an Asian restaurant, was really, really funny. Just the way they were being really sarcastic to each other, almost snarling at each other at times. Then it takes things in various unexpected directions... I was sort of correct when I guessed about what the ending would be, but I certainly didn't catch everything they had going on.

Your Favorite Long Songs

Songs at least 10 minutes long.


"The Long One" by The Beatles. It's almost a cheat, but the flow is pretty magnificent.

"Dogs" and "Pigs" by Pink Floyd. They have a few songs like "Shine On" and "Echoes" that are also great, but these ones groove more.

"I Heard it Through the Grapevine" by Creedence. It's easy to zone out to, just like "Stranglehold" by Nugent.

"The Land of Canaan" by Therion. I never know wtf they say in their songs, but I love the transitions. It's one hell of a song.

"Child in Time" by Deep Purple. Starts off calm, but goes nuts every so often.


Add your own. If it's not 10 minutes but close enough, count it.
