Arrow

Okay, so I know a lot of you probably aren't a fan of the cw or it's shows, but Arrow is honestly one the best shows I have ever watched. Sure it has a couple seasons, like 4, 5, and 6. I barely remember what those seasons were about.

Now I haven't always been a fan of Arrow. I watched a few episodes when it first came on, and I couldn't stand watching it. Four years later, I discover flash, who is my favorite super hero. So I binge flash, and of course this show has cross over with Arrow, because its the cw. It's alwasy been their thing. But I fell in love with the green arrow. So I binge the green arrow, and then a new show comes out. DC's Legends of Tomorrow, and then super girl, and batwoman, and now star girl. Next year brings a superman and lois show, and Arrow is getting a spin off as well called green arrow and the canaries.

Arrow spawned a whole universe, called the arrowverse. Everyone of the shows connect, and its just fun to watch. Arrow is serious, Flash is a combination of serious and funny, and Legends is so cheesy but it work. Super girl works her feminin angle which most of you probably dont like, but it works for her show. Batwoman is just crazy from what I have seen.

8 years, 8 seasons, and so many fights, deaths, and twist and turns. They even connected the DCEU to the Arrowverse. This is where DC is getting better. So if you haven't watched these amazing superhero shows, then go and watch them. Its fun to binge. And if you have watched it, I would love to hear your opinons. Even if you have only watched one season, more. And even if you hate the cw, give the universe a chance. If you love superheroes like me, then go give it a shot. All seasons are on netflix.

Suggestions?!

Hello everyone! I hope you all are doing amazing. I just wanted to make a quick little post and hopefully you all can help me out!

So I decided to finally host a challenge! I'm actually hosting 2 in the next two months. I am super excited! For the most part I have my July challenge figured out, but I am stuck on the slasher challenge for next month! Now I know and I talked to Snowy and usually the slasher challenge is only for 2 weeks? I wanted to change that into a month because I really like slashers and I thought it would be fun to make it into a month. Now if ya'll want it to stay 2 weeks that's fine as well. I want to accommadate to ya'll!

I could also use some suggestions for what to add in the challenge, so if ya'll want to let me know some ideas and let me know if the month things works for ya'll please do!!

I am working on the rules and all of that fun stuff as we we speak, and I want to be able to have the rules/sign up thread posted by May 25th!

Shoutbox is Being Modified...

I'll be restructuring the damn thing to optimize it for a new feature I'm working on: the multiplayer turn-based arcade. I'm building a whole lobby/room system for it, which will also provide new shoutbox rooms for basically any page, so bear with the bugs and I'll try to make the downtime as quick and unnoticable as possible. You've been warned!

The Florida Project, 2017!

One of my go-to sources for great recommendations had mentioned this A24 indie a few weeks ago, and when I saw it was on Netflix, I couldn't pass up the chance. This is not so much a story as it is a collection of incidents with seemingly legitimate white trash Florida characters living in a motel run by the great Willem Dafoe.

Primarily, we follow a free spirit named Halley, played to perfection by Bria Vinaite, who I've never heard of before, but hope to see more of in the future. She lets her daughter Moonee run amok while Bobby (Dafoe) is the motel manager with the heart of gold who is more leniant to their derelict behaviors than he ought to be.

This is a children-at-play story, but it's also tagged as a "social issue" drama that covers controversial topics like how to raise a child and how to make ends meet at any cost. Now, I've been in places where this fucked up shit seems natural, so this film pulled my heart strings a bit. I think it has great characters and feels very real. Also, this movie made me fall in love with Bria Vinaite, but what do I know, other than how I feel about sexy broads with soulful performances?

Fans of arthouse white trash, Harmony Korine type shit, and A24 ought to check this out. It's been a while since I've wanted to watch the same movie again in the same day, but I'm a sucker for heart felt sleaze.

Something funny on Youtube

I don't know where to post this. You COULD watch it on TV, if you want, so I'll post it here. This is just something funny that happened last night. I was watching as it happened. Two... um... I was gonna say "chicks"... well, OK, two chicks, one of whom is an astrophysicist and the other of whom is a PhD candidate in biology, were hosting a little Youtube show they do sometimes. The name of the show is Drunk Science. God bless them for doing this. They don't seem to get totally hammered, but you can tell by the end of the show that they have been drinking. Anyway, I had set a reminder to watch this last night, because they had another astrophysicist as a guest and they were gonna talk about black holes, which I have always thought are pretty cool.

OK, so, so far this probably doesn't sound like an intro to a really funny story. But, just give me a second here.

I was watching their channel and waiting for the show to start, last night. I was doing other things too, so it wasn't like I was wasting time, but my point here is that I, and everyone else watching, were just sitting there for HALF AN HOUR after it was supposed to start, just killing time in the chatbox on the side. The ladies who were doing the show actually HAD started on time, but they did something wrong and it wasn't streaming live. So, apparently they talked (and drank alcohol, so, thank God for that) for a whole half hour before any of them realized that no one could see or hear them. I love the fact that they are all brilliant scientists, but they just totally screwed this up anyway... shit happens.

Watch the chick/lady/astrophysicist in the upper left hand corner. She is Sarafina. Apparently she has just figured out the problem on her own, somehow, and hasn't yet told her co-host or their guest until she starts talking here. Just watch her face, it's so funny. I love how she just SNAPS at :45 and says "Oh my GOD this is soooooo bad!" Pretty hilarious. So anyway, you can all figure this out, but just to say it, the co-hosts are named Sarafina Nance and Imogene Cancellare, their guest is Hannalore Gerling-Dunsmore, the show is called Drunk Science, and they show it on Sarafina's Youtube channel. Just watch the first minute or so if you're not into black holes, I think it's hilarious.

How Many.....?

I am curious y'all, how many of you guys want the Stephen King mini Challenge again this month. You can count whatever you watch on both challenges

At the Earth's Core (1976)

This might be worth giving a shot, for some of us here. It's not exactly a horror, but... Peter Cushing, Caroline Munro, and MONSTERS. Close enough, right?!? I mean, jeez Louise, what the hell do you want?!?

Especially for Yakko and anyone else loving dead bugs coming alive

When seeking for some good movies from the early 1910s I found an animated short which really blew me away. The original name is in Russian (and hard to remember) as that's the creator's nationality I stick to its English name: The Cameraman's Revenge.

The animation is not done with puppets but real bugs. Sure they are dead but you wouldn't say so if you see how fluently they are moving. The setting is like our world and they act and interact like real humans. It feels so natural sitting on a couch, painting, driving a car or bike, carrying a suitcase etc. And there's even a story of adultery and revenge. See for yourself:

Frankenstein's Monster's Monster, Frankenstein

I can't really post any footage because the trailer for this 30 minute Netflix film will spoil everything, but this shit is pretty funny. David Harbour plays himself investigating his father's shitty Frankenstein melodrama teleplay, which reeks of old Dark Shadows vibes. Imagine VHS footage, lousy commercials, arrogant thesbianism, gothic sets, and inept plot twists. That's Frankenstein's Monster...'s Monster, Frankenstein!

Mall Bitches, by WKUK

I haven't posted this in a long time. It just cracks me up, it's one of my favorite short videos on Youtube. I will really bum out whenever they eventually take it down. If you haven't seen it before, just make sure you pay attention to what is happening for the first three and a half minutes or so. If you do, the last thirty seconds could be one of the funniest things you've seen in a long time. It is for me, anyway. And, somehow the Spanish subtitles make it all even funnier.
