Ideas for 2020!
Hey guys! Since we are in the last month of the year, and decade, I thought we could have a thread for Challenge Ideas, Trivia Ideas, it even games! I have been talking with @box and @ballz about challenges and we have so good ideas, but we want to hear from you guys! So if you have some challenges ideas let us know here and we can have fun challenges next year! For sure we will have the Trash, Turkey, Sci-Fi, and everyone's favorite the Horror one. But in the months those aren't we would love to have more.
Also I have been working with box on getting a trivia thing going, and would love any ideas on what kind anyone likes!
As for games I know @der has done some fun ones! Ready Aim Fire, and Roll to Dodge are just a few examples! So even if the idea is simple, just tell us!
I hope everyone has a fantastic last month! And here is to making TE even better next year!

What kind of comedy type are you?
We all have a different sense of humor. Well there is people around with no or little sense of humor but I guess (hope) they are a minority. We need humor otherwise this planet would be a sad place.
I'm just curious what kind of comedy you like. Me I don't have a clear favorite. Satire is not really my cup of tea, as it often requires to be up to date on a certain subject. When a subject does not interest me I'm not really going to catch the latest news on it. I already expressed a few times that toilet humor isn't funny to me.
While I can't really pinpoint what kind of comedy certainly works for me, I think it's more of a mood thing for me. Also it does work much better in company of others. That is more encouraging to let go that laughter. A good example happened last weekend when I watched Dumb and Dumber To with friends. I would really get annoyed with Jim Carey making silly faces whenever he can and would switch channel if I were alone. In company though I found it pretty enjoyable. Even toilet humor would become more bearable.

Rhinestone is a turkey?
In 1984, a few random-ass ingredients crashed into each other. The great Bob Clark directing, Stallone acting/screenwriting/singing, and Dolly Parton and her huge jugs would proudly unite to bring us all a film about what it is to be a cowboy singer.
So a New York business mogul is desperate to bang Jake (Dolly), but she's stuck in a contract with this "villain". If I were him, I'd want to bang her too. Her tits steal every scene that they're in, and her waist is an anomoly. And this guy wants that in his life. An option for a pardon from this contract comes her way, and the stakes seem fair. She has to turn some "average joe" into a bonified country singer in two weeks. If she fails, he keeps her longer. If she wins, she's out. Movies with premises based on bets are always great. They're always the same, too.
After sifting through some neighborhood bums, they opt for the next and most regular New Yorker they can find. A cliche of Italian stupidity. An arrogant guido who'se basically a bum. Nick (Stallone) is a loud mouthed lovable rascal who drives a cab, and his main goals are to fix the cab he totaled, but when he sees Dolly, he also strives to bang her.
Switching gears to Tennessee, Nick and Jake live the country life to learn things the country way. This consists of everyone wearing stupid outfits and learning how to sing and act like a cowboy.
Epic actor Tim Thomerson appears as a scheming former lover of Jake's, because why not? This dude is amazing.
After a few performances throughout, he might be learning a thing or two, but basically, it's all just working up to when they'll fuck. Of course, this movie is only PG, so it can only be inferred. There are a few sexual jokes made toward Dolly, so today's connived standards would likely rank this PG-13. Too bad it wasn't rated R with bonus sex scenes. I'd watch Stallone put it in Dolly, because who wouldn't? But instead, we have a more light-hearted romp. A social mismatch of country music and taxi drivers.
For what it's worth, I wouldn't classify this as a turkey. I think it's a pretty decent movie. I discovered it back in the day when I went to an actual store for Deep Discount. I bought quite a few horror classics online from them, and a few more in that store. And this title was from Anchor Bay, and I figured it would be a disservice to my habit of blind-buying Anchor Bay titles if I didn't get the one with Rambo and Dolly, so I got it, and I don't regret it. But a 3.8 on imdb? It definitely deserves better than that...

Blood Freak '72: A Legitimate Turkey
Just rewatched this one, and I don't know what's up sfpx's butt. This movie has all the makings of a trash epic. It's extremely boring, drawn out, and our protagonist Herschell reminds me a lot of our best friend Tromafreak. Of course, they both live in Florida and turn into evil turkeys when they smoke pot, but that's beside the point.
The point is that this movie is awful. The lighting and sound design are awful. The redundant stinger sound effect when the turkey is killing is awful. The editing is awful. The acting is terribly unenthused by most parties. I honestly think some of these actors had to refrain from laughing when they saw the turkey monster coming to get them.
The best part is indeed the ending. Our boring narrator has been interrupting this film on and off with his mindless musings on god know's what... I zoned right the fuck out every time he was on screen, but he kinda looks like a medley of Sean Penn and Vincent Price. This dude just preaches anti-drug shit and goes into a coughing fit because he's been chain smoking this entire movie.
And of course, at the very end, it was all a dream. This movie couldn't get any dumber, which is why I nominate it for the turkiest turkey award, which I just made up. This is a turkey slasher that epitomizes the turkey qualities welovehate most.

An old episode of The Bionic Woman
From 1976. The idea of this episode was that everyone thought there was a ghost running amok in these people's house, but it was actually a girl who didn't really know that she had telekinesis, and was causing all kinds of mayhem via her unconscious mind, as she slept. The commentary here says it was inspired by The Exorcist, but of course it had to be at least partly inspired by Carrie. The family name of the telekinetic girl is Cory. I mean, come on.
https://bionic.fandom.com/wiki/The_Ghosthunter
The book Carrie had come out in 1974. The movie Carrie came out later on, in the same year this epsidoe of TBW aired, 1976.
Aha, here's some commentary:

Horror Anthologies (books)
check this out, this is a great resource. You can find enough short stories and novellas on this page to keep you happily reading for the rest of your life. I was looking for a webpage or blog about 90s horror authors, novels, and short stories, which I know very little about. But I found this... good enough for me.

Medicine
Hey guys, I am just curious about something. Recently I had my mom 'borrow' some of my medicine and use it herself. I found out this morning, and called her on it. She said she had every right to take it because she needed it, and she was going to replace it. I was completely pissed off, and told her that under no circumstances should anyone take anyone else's medicine, and I got called selfish and told that I was overreacting, and she did nothing wrong. I guess what I am saying is do you guys think it's okay to take someone else's medicine as long as you will replace it? And any parents on here, would you do that to your kids knowing your kid needed it? And if you guys think I am overreacting tell me, I just can't fathom that my mom would do this, because she needed the medicine for herself and couldn't care less that I needed it, and it was my prescription. And the funny thing is, if she would have talked to me, and asked for some I would have given it to her....
