I think, after 3+ years, I’ll have to resign myself that ‘Friday Night Lights’ won’t ever get done. Real shame.
Happy (???) anniversary chatters!
shattered with TOM BERRINGER
Patreon are outdoing themselves now. I just added a comment to AA Dave’s post below. When I went back to it and loaded replies, my comment was at the bottom, but all other comments were inverted last to first. Confusing much? This was on my iPad, by the way. Haven’t seen that on my pc.
It’s like they have brain-storming sessions - “how can we make things more confusing for the users?”.
Btw I wonder if cassie and carly are Supergirl fans??? Want them to see that.
Carly and you must see OBSESSSION. It's out now on youtubers everywehere seeing it. It's really a good romance movie!! promise.
Yes, Cassie, Carly can watch "The Blues Brothers". It's an outrageous over-the-top comedy. It is not a raunchy comedy.
Hi Cassie, why didn't you pick my movie!?! Love, Every Patreon Pal 🤣🤣🤣
I know why she didn’t pick my movie……it’s because she hates me. She really hates me!!!
You guys are great!
Cassie! 3 weeks into the World Cup and still no soccer footy movies? Let me save you the trouble of a Pole (they didn't qualify). There's only one film you really need to watch to repay the beautiful game in full and that's Escape to Victory, 1981 - Michael Caine and Sylvester Stallone as PoWs who play a high profile propaganda match against the best of The Bosh. Stallone is no Pele (that's Pell-ay, not Peel), but that doesn't matter because Pell-ay is in the film too.
No one wants that!
I'll never understand people's aversion to B&W movies. Does color really make *that* much of a difference?? 🤷♂️
Sometimes it does. For example, there was a famous moment in a televised snooker game in the 1960s. To clear things up for the viewers, the commentator said, "For those watching in black and white, the blue is directly behind the pink." That's a true story from our sporting annals, folks, right up there with the cricket commentator who introduced Michael Holding (the bowler) and Peter Willey (the batsman), by saying "The Bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willey." As for the movies, I think the absence of colour is secondary. Pre 1960s, there's an adjustment that needs to be made for the acting, which is often far more theatrical than it is today. If you can make that adjustment, there are some true gems that were filmed in black and white.
Hate that Grindhouse came so close only to lose out. That said, as a lifelong fan of Robert E. Howard, I’m curious to see the winner. His Conan stories are at the pinnacle of pulp fantasy.
FML, GRINDHOUSE WAS THIS CLOSE TO WINNING!!!??! I swear this popcorn frying pan is rigged as hell.
Does seem to go to dramas and romance a lot doesn’t it? Conspiracy!!!!
I didn't see my pick pop out, but Cassie mentioned Full Monty late on, so I was rooting for that.
It's been, what, a year and a half, she should watch it already.
I missed it live, but watching the VOD now. Just noticed the Cassian pop figure by the lamp! I'm very much not a pop vinyl fan, but there are a few exceptions of figures which tickle my fancy and I think Cassian might be one of them. (I have a limited edition Conan O'Brien as Pennywise pop vinyl which was a Comic-Con exclusive I got for free a few years ago, where I was in the same room as Bley(Conan's social media/podcast guy), just hanging out upstairs at one of the clubs downtown. it's the only pop vinyl I have.) Also, thanks for panning across all the movies before the draw Ben. It's always much better when we can read/see all the films in the running before the flick is picked, rather than the camera being mostly zoomed out. Whoever picked The Fountain/Bicentennial Man/Cellular/Dogma/Hugo/Monuments Men/Con Air/Rocky Horror/A History of Violence/Hidalgo/The Long Kiss Goodnight/and who also picked my pick, Sunshine... good on you! Also, whoever picked The CORE, you're hilarious! Such a silly film. It's funny to me that most of the time the last 5-6 films left on the board and winners have been mostly movies most people don't remember, and definitely not pop culture or currently living movie star films. We got close with Grindhouse and Magnolia this month though.
Welp... Xanadu will have to wait.
Hey Cassie, I just got home after spending 4th of July weekend in Disneyland! I did not witness the kid jumping out of the top of the ride formerly known as Splash Mountain. Amazing that he not only survived but was released from the hospital with minor injuries. Then I come home to find out that my pick-a-flick was in the Top 10 for the second time in four months!!! AAUUUUUGGGGHHHH!!!!! Cassie, you're killing me! "Dark City" will find its way on PIB some how!
I really hate that my pick won't be reacted to. Dogma is such a fun movie
Yeah, it is, but it is very hard to find on streaming platforms, if you can find it at all.
I saw this in the theater. I remember it being really boring. But luckily Cassie is a big fan of Conan the Barbarian so I'm sure she'll absorb a great deal from this magical film that a really smart patron has demanded that she watch.
I detect a note of sarcasm in your comment….. :-)
FYI to Ben or whomever else might see this. My pick was showing on the wall with the wrong image (and I know it was my pick because I saw it fall off the wall and my username show up in the list at the same time). There are two movies named Now Voyager that are completely unrelated. I picked the 1942 Bette Davis movie and the correct image shows in the section where I select it and has showed correctly on the wall all the other months that I've picked it. But tonight it was showing a cover from a 1985 movie with the same name starring Barry Gibb - not the same movie. lol Just mentioning it in case there is an issue with the picker not correctly incorporating the year when grabbing the cover image. :)
Yeah, as soon as I saw that in the stream, I did a double take, and thought, "Wait, is that Barry Gibb??" 🤔
Another weird movie
It'll be a great eight days, have a safe and nice trip to Canada Cassie! "church calling" for the kids, that sounds great.
For a second, I thought Grindhouse was gonna win; I was laughin so hard. She would love that. I have never seen The Whole Wide World, but I love Renée Zellweger and movies set in the 30s, like Cinderella Man, which she was also in, so I'm curious.
I was hoping Grindhouse would win. That would have been a fun reaction.
I am not familiar with this movie. This is unusual.
It's fine. Cassie will enjoy it. It is 90s melodrama
June PAF winner = "The Whole Wide World" (1996), Romance/Drama, PG, 1h 51m I saw Clarence and Cole pop out early. Larry and Richard a little later.
I was watching while driving. (Don’t try this at home. ;-). I couldn’t see where I was on the wall like I normally do. Once I got home went back and saw myself fly off the wall. Crap.
Damn, I was hoping for Grindhouse out of that last 5.
Me too. Eyes were locked on it.
Crap. At least I was top 92
I highly recommend again that you watch Dick Tracy (1990). I great film based on the famous comic. Al Pacino’s wacky performance as Big Boy Caprice is worth the watch. You and Carly would love it.
Cassie said Pee-Wee wasn't her least favorite.
Good enough for me.
Is there a link for this yet?
not yet
So this week I had a book publisher reach out to me out of the blue interested in workign with me, referred me to a top Canadian agent who seems to like my stuff -- could this be the month that I am the last kernal popped?
Congratulations!
With 563 June PaF entries, the chance of winning is about the same as the chance of being born with an extra digit (nub or fully formed).
That would be cheating. With one extra digit, you could count to 22.
563 entries in the June PAF. Besides my own pick, I have identified another 37 films I would watch a reaction to. 🤞
So you have about a 6.5% (or 1 in 15) chance of a movie being selected which you would watch the reaction. Not the greatest odds but better than 1 in 563. I typically have about a 30% chance of being satisfied (happy) with the winner, though June seems less than 30%, yet I didn't do a count this month. In any case, I have watched full reactions of most PAF winners (not all), thus including some I am not happy were selected.
Feelin' lucky this month!
Well do ya’ PUNK!?!
the pan will sizzle my excitement and then eject me straight into a bowl of ice cold water ruining my day after I dont win
Can you post Peewee at some point in the 21st century please?
She said her uploads are running Wed to Wed...so still a couple of days. I was hoping for Andor by now also.
Good luck fellow PaFlickers! See ya in the big hot pan.
So your saying there's a chance?
Get this in before the big game :D
I will be there for my 1 in nearly 600 chance to win. (Please stop rollover month to month...ask people to re-engage)
100%, it’s not that much to ask. And if they can’t do it then they don’t really care.
See ya then!
Wait but Force of Light Entertainment is doing their podcast at 6:30 EST!!! GAH!!! (But I’ll always choose you Miss Cassie)
Do I dare hope that I might win? Hmmmm.
“This is my hour!”
Cassie yes indeed
