Up-date-a-ling-a-ding-dong
Well the month of May is trying to kill me but the end is near. 4 more days of school for the kids, volunteering for track and field day, recitals, end of year gifts, club-soccer tryouts, a church youth camping trip I am chaperoning, popsicle social for the neighborhood and trying to do a flower garden and fix our backyard landscaping and then we're good haha.
Also don't forget PIB EXTRA BUTTER TIER LIVE TONIGHT! We'll be watching the TNG episode "Data's Day" and then just chatting. I'm sorry it has to be late and will be at 8PM MST. My older kids have soccer tryouts so i'll have to get me little one to bed before I can start. I hope to see you there, I always love our hangs!
AAANNNDDD Still planning on Pop Quiz Trivia Night for Patrons only on 6/1!
In other news-3 POLLS went LIVE! Animated Poll 1 and 2 for me-top votes will go to a final poll! aaannndddd an Animated Poll for Carly ( I think we will watch the top 2 and do an ANIMATION WEEK)
I hope you are all filling your freezers with popsicles and your porch with flowers! I am still loving Alias and yay for Season 3 of Bridgerton (such a guilty pleasure) and I told you how much I liked Fallguy right?

best movies are chitty chitty bang bang harruy potter and the goblet of fire ghostbusters frozen empire sent film's to my best friends is Cassie and Carly both are wonderful Ladies
mmmmmm... Das boot! Two German Movies I recommend: Stalingrad and Katarina Von Blumm. I wonder if Cassie will do Run Silent run Deep or Greyhound or the enemy below?
Hey cassie, comes today your reaction of the movie: Das Boot?
Are the first 2 season 4 episodes still going on Youtube? I thought they'd have been up by now, or did they get held up with Cassie being ill?
Pay no attention to the critics of wolverine origins it's a good movie,watch the after credit scene with Deadpool and you should also watch X-Men first class and the other newer X-Men movies that followed it tells the origins of the other X-Men characters including professor X and magneto
I am actually of the mind that Fassbinder is the definitive Magneto and that they should carry him through to the new XMen/Persons/ Individuals/Folks series. I thought he killed it and had an air of ever-present danger and simmering hate that McKellan seemed to underplay.
Have you got a 4th option of 'NONE' ... maybe ask for other suggestions????
Looking forward to the reaction to Das Boot. As to the question of which version, Theatrical or extended Director's Cut, I prefer the Director's Cut (extends the intensity and the tension), but it is long and because of that may be impractical for a reaction. As to the question of Sub or Dub, I've only watched the film with the Dub option. Although I don't understand German, I enjoyed the movie with the original German voices. Took almost no time to get used to reading the dubs and it was not a problem for me.
Definitely not a Trekkie, but more Star Trek...TNG, Voyager, Discovery, Picard, and Strange New Worlds! I rejoice in hearing their lamentations!
Personal preference... IMO - Not a fan (at all) of Discovery. Seasons 1 & 2 of Picard were only so-so, season 3 of Picard was better. Not actually much of a fan of Strange New Worlds -- kind of feels like Star Trek Lite to me and not a fan of the lack of decorum on the bridge (and the "musical" episode was just too much). For a ship that is a generation earlier than NCC-1701, how is it that everything looks like 200 years more advanced and why are the crew and other ships spaces so much larger and luxurious than on NCC-1701? Though it usually doesn't get a lot of love, I do like many things about Star Trek: Enterprise and sometimes I think I like it second to The Original Series (i.e. maybe even more than TNG).
I'm so excited about Pleasantville! I think you're going to really like it.
Which version of Das Boot are you watching? Sub or Dub?
I just watched 'Logan' so I can't wait for your reaction to that some day, though rumour has it it is worth a watch before seeing Deadpool 3 for some context about a certain character. The Wolverine movies are a mixed bag but Jackman is always a treat to watch playing him
Still think you should get back to a few sports romance ones. Free on Youtube now,,, ill put $3000 down if you dont like it :) Just sayin,,,, https://youtu.be/DC0bt7wJEV0?feature=shared
Dude, I will watch a Hallmark Movie for $1,500 and I HATE Hallmark movies (so, yes, I have a price. Now watch them and only them for a year...I think we're looking at Million$). 🤣
I like the x-men films but the time-line got confusing to me. Can someone recommend a video or article to help me get the franchise sorted out?
Honestly I did a little laugh - because trust me, we're all confused! The X-Men timeline is a complete shambles, so you just have to accept there's some timey-whimey nonsense going on. But if you want general chronological order? Well... Good luck. Especially with how many flashbacks/crossovers/alternate timelines/resets the movies have!
Any mention of director's cut or theatrical on Das Boot?
We asked during the watch along last night and she was hesitant on the director's cut because of the length. She was encouraged to go ahead and watch it, she assumed she would get more "backstory" with the extra length.
I dunno how you can manage all that and still find time to film, you have maximum mom energy my friend. Plz tell me you at least take a nap at some point in the day to recharge
Mothers, in my experience, tend to be the most hard working people on the planet. My nan and mum especially.
Wolverine origins is a terrible movie. I just try to ignore it exists.
You know what else would be great? A second Asian Martial Arts poll! Just so Cassie will get to watch Enter the Dragon when it inevitably wins.
Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story would work - in a bio-pic poll. Not really a martial arts film.
HEY, I know what we need! A Classic Horror poll! I'm glad I thought of it!
Original Night of the Living Dead, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Whoa! That’s a lot to do! Cassie, no one can say you don’t live life to the full. Great line up of movies/trek, can’t wait. I rewatched TNG best of both worlds yesterday. I must of missed it the first time, but half way though, when you said “give the Borg a ouchie to slow them down”!! I almost wet myself laughing 😂 that was brilliant 😂
"Well the month of May is trying to kill me" Hence the expression: "Mayday." :-P "I hope you are all filling your freezers with popsicles and your porch with flowers!" What?! I could have sworn I was supposed to put the flowers in the freezer and the popsicles on the porch! Darn that infernal jester!
Oof I'm there for all the X-men, but we have to power through origins. Jackman is fantastic as Wolverine but it's rough.
I honestly enjoyed it more when I leaned into the idea that its terrible. You get to have a laugh at the terrible CGI and dialogue, and future context makes 'that character' much more tolerable.
Wheeee! What a fun week to be part of this group!
I actually think the opening credits scene of Wolverine Origins is among the best for super hero films, only outdone by THE WATCHMEN.
Agree. The opening credits are superb. If only the rest of the movie had been as good. Not that I thought it was bad, as many others believe. I just thought it was ok. But that opening credit sequence was boss. As for “The Watchmen”, I’m in the seemingly small minority that really likes that movie.
Hey Cass… I mentioned earlier about planning to go see The Fall Guy again. I know you’re very, very busy outside the Channel and would most likely not be going, yourself, back to the theatre to see it again. Since you mentioned again, how much you liked The Fall Guy… I just want to make a point to mention… BEFORE You decide to watch The Fall Guy again, anywhere… (I’m laughing as I type this by the way) You should really check with Us, the PIB community first. There is a film that you REALLY need to see, before watching The Fall Guy. I don’t want to mention it now, just in case you know what I’m talking about, and hopefully you will have forgotten about Whatever it is, by the time you want to watch The Fall Guy again. So, to reiterate, Don’t Watch The Fall Guy, again, before seeing “Another Film First.” I feel Stupid making this comment, but part of me feels compelled to make it. (Still laughing by the way… at the ridiculousness of this situation.)
React to the Jackass quadrilogy
Please make the foreign movie poll a consistent monthly thing. Too many films on that list and too many foreign films besides deserve to be watched especially cinema Paradiso.
Correct..... especially a certain swedish movie 🥰🥰 perfect as PPOTM 🥰🥰
Really looking forward to all these, Wolverine was hated by lots of people but I really don’t mind it. Yes there’s lots of issues but I just enjoy it for what it is. Das Boot has been on my list of movies to watch for ages, I tend to put off subtitled films because of my eye condition (Keratoconus) I find it difficult to keep up with the writing. But I’ll finally going to give it a shot.
Maybe there’s a dubbed version that you can watch? I don’t know, I’ve never looked.
Star Trek watchalong again ☹️
Only three more seasons and, what, seven more movies and the long nightmare is over- hopefully.
I'm glad "Data's Day" is getting a reaction, though I worry that doing it as part of a live chat event will distract from the actual episode.
It would only be a distraction for you/us. She makes a habit of not looking at the chat during a watch along.
Wolverine origins??? Wow ok then this will be interesting. Just be sure to watch first class after the Wolverine 1 and 2
Actually First Class is before Wolverine 2
This is how much of a hypocrite I am: part of me wants to say “DAS BOOT is too intense and will scar you for life!” while another part wants to say “you need to tear down your house and replace it with an IMAX screen with surround sound so you can see this movie the way it was meant to be seen!” Anyway…I think you’ll enjoy Pleasantville and am really looking forward to your reaction to it. Last Action Hero (a film to which, as I mentioned before, I made a very minor contribution as a music consultant) is no masterpiece, but I think it’s the nostalgia trip people thought they were getting when they voted for Total Recall. This is the goofy Arnold we want.
i kinda loved it! wait! post the part you helped with!
Haven’t seen S3 yet but Penelope & Colin are my fav couple from Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton series. Also love Ruggable’s Rose Rug from their Bridgerton collection - got a couple small ones to brighten up my new house. Chris Claremont co-created two of my fav X-Men characters Gambit (and Rogue) but as for Origins - interested to see your reactions.
i loved gambit in x men origins actually!! but it also broke my heart! i need to read the bridgertoon books! I have one huggable and love it too!
Here is a vote for a July 4th movie poll. It is more than a month away so there is time. My vote would of course would be for a classic like YANKEE DOODLE DANDY (1942) with Jimmy Cagney, a great rousing patriotic musical, but I also would love a reaction to a more modern musical, "1776" (1972). This is almost a history lesson about the Fourth of July because it is about the signing of the Declaration of Independence. You can't get more relevant than this movie, and it is a great movie and musical. What I wouldn't like is for BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY (1989) the Tom Cruise biopic, which I wouldn't like because it is an anti-war film primarily, and really has nothing to do with July 4th. Good movie, not relevant for the holiday in the title. Of course, Popcorn In Bed being an international channel, maybe there wouldn't be a demand for a focus on this American holiday, but I sure would like to have that this year. I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one who had ideas about a Fourth of July poll.
1776 all the way. Watching that movie is my annual 4th of July tradition.
Cassie! Did you take a breath during that first paragraph in your post?! Yikes…you are a busy woman! I don’t have as much on my plate as you do, but I do have a big graduation party for my daughter coming up in 2 weeks 😳. Like you, I’ve been busting my buns trying to get the yard into shape, hopefully in time for her party. Looking forward to the live tonight! I actually don’t mind the late start time because Ive got a few things to to after dinner, so it works out fine for me. Nice line up of content coming up! Can’t wait for your X-men journey to continue with Origins. And I barely remember Das Boot, so this will be a nice refresher for me. Love the idea of an animated movie week. 👍 I’m hoping to go see Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes this weekend. Can’t wait for you to start this movie series, hopefully in the near future. See you later on the live! Ciao!
I would like to see her react to these five: Planet of the Apes (1968) + the most recent four (Rise, Dawn, War, and Kingdom).
I still haven't seen THE FALL GUY, but really want to. I'm old enough to remember the original TV show with Lee Majors and have been interested in the movie ever since they first announced it. It has gotten good reviews but unfortunately is not doing terribly well at the box office. :-( I did see the new KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES and really liked it. Not quite as good as the last two Apes movies (DAWN and WAR) but might be better than RISE (I need to revisit that one again). Of course, it doesn't equal the original film with Charlton Heston, but then what does? While LAST STAND was the first misstep in the X-Men franchise, I still think it's a decent movie. Not sure I can say that about ORIGINS: WOLVERINE. Jackman is great as always and it does provide some helpful background to the character of Logan, but it is in so many ways such a massive miscalculation of a movie that they all but ignore it in subsequent entries. I predict it will hold your attention but in the end will probably be your least favorite of the series so far (if not your least favorite of them all). DAS BOOT is a fantastic film. Directed by Wolfgang Petersen (who also did IN THE LINE OF FIRE and AIR FORCE ONE) I daresay it is the greatest submarine movie ever made. It will be intense, but it will be worth it. I would recommend the German language version (not dubbed) of the director's cut as I think it is superior to the original theatrical cut, but either one provides you with a viewing experience that will not be a waste of your time. Looking forward to this week. As always keep up the good work. :-)
Saw The Fall Guy last night and it is a JOY. Cassie and Carly should definitely give it a watch ASAP because it's SO FUN. Even though I bought it, I'm gonna take my mom and dad to see it this weekend cuz it's so good.
Probably should've skipped that XMen movie. Its awful
I'm pretty sure they will not have that reaction to the movie.
oh man... sorry you and Carly had to watch the worst X-Men film. Origins is just... so cheap and awful. But it'll make watching Deadpool that much more enjoyable...
It just means they are a step closer to First Class Days of Future Past and Logan
Ah yes, the peanut buster parfait is my favorite! Good luck with the club soccer tryouts. The intensity level is very different than rec soccer. Lots of traveling, but it opens up more scholarship opportunities for later on.
i have so much anxiety about the whole thing but we’re giving it a try!
If you liked Fall Guy check out the orginal series with Lee Majors it’s just as much fun maybe more!
I grew up watching The Six Million Dollar Man series
Looking forward to the TNG S4 episodes. Always looking forward to TNG. Will watch Data's Day at the Live tonight. Looking forward to the Das Boot reaction, but was hoping for The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo. I watched some of the German TV series Das Boot (begin 2018) and liked it. Even though I am a fan of Hugh Jackman, I may skip Wolverine but will be on the lookout for Logan.
Logan will be at the end of the X Men run she’s doing them in release order so next one after Origins is First Class
hey cassie, if you watch the movie Das Boot, then it's best to watch the director's cut because it's even more intense than the theatrical version
Alias? The show where Jennifer Garner wears black leather occasionally?
Hoping you might be able to get the X-men 3 download sorted out
on it!
Looking forward to both the “Wolverine” and “Das Boot” reactions. “Wolverine” is definitely inferior to the first two X-Men movies and has plot problems and probably the worst CGI claws imaginable, but it’s not as bad as many people say. It’s middling - ok, but nothing special. But, I think the allure of this reaction will be seeing the ladies be exposed to Logan’s origin story. As for “Das Boot”, I hope, hope, hope Cassie’s watching the director’s cut. Just a really fantastic film, but the theatrical version leaves out some important stuff in the interest of expediency.
Agree with this. Jackman and many of the cast make this movie interesting. The consternation lies for most people, I think, with obvious opportunities and characters (Wade and Remy, esp) in the story that were not leveraged enough or at all.
Ooh, I forgot there was the Butter live tonight, it will be so much fun to watch Data's Day with you! Also looking forward to the other Trek episode this week (the one I didn't vote for, lol, but any Trek is good Trek!) and really looking forward to X-Men Origins. I don't think you and Carly will have a problem with the movie, it is great for a first time watch, no matter what you may have heard! (Oh yeah, there is a foreign movie this week I've never seen, only you Cassie could have gotten me to watch this one after a lifetime of hearing about it!)
hahaha i’m so excited to watch das boot together first time!! and we watched origins wolverine and really did enjoy it. i can’t figure out why people don’t like it so much! see you tonight!
Watched alias several times....guilty pleasure. What season episode are you on?
i just finished the quentin tarantino episodes where they have sd6 hostage
Oh x man Orgins Wolverine ..im sorry in advance
Still Singin’ the Praises of The Fall Guy myself. Planning on going to see it again soon.
Dang Cassie! This is the first time in a long time I'll miss Butter Live, especially for an episode of TNG I love. Sadly though I'm in Spain for work and will be in bed at that time 😢
have sooo much fun, eat lots of cheese for me!
Yeah yeah. This is cool. Hehehehe.
Das Boot (Das Boat) is a nerve wracking movie. One of the great movies out of Germany
Yes. Put it with WINGS OF DESIRE and THE LIVES OF OTHERS and you have an amazing triple feature, and the urge to utter selected German words and phrases for no reason whatsoever! 🤣
That's busy. Be careful of the heat and stay hydrated. Thanks as always for sharing your reacts. 🌞
