Upcoming this Week!
Ok sorry this is late, the holiday threw me off and I have had a headache that won't let up the last 48 hours-I know I know, I need to drink more water ;) Happy September! I freaking love September, I just want to pretend to be Anne of Green Gables and drink hot chocolate and eat pumpkin bread!
Lows: I finished Ted Lasso, don't want it to be over. Above mentioned headache. I tried to DIY paint my built in shelves and they look like a 4 year old did them and I also dipped my entire ponytail in my paint bucket.
Highs: I finished Ted Lasso. Perfection. I wore a sweater, I LOVE FALL. I organized my linen closet, what a grown-up high!
This week should be fun, with some big names. Austin Powers and Alec Guiness? Same level right? I kid.
Don't forget to vote in our Animal Poll this week-Ok lots of comments The Revenant isn't an animal movie, that is my bad I guess? I legit thought a bear was the main character. We'll roll (roar) with it!
The Trivia night for Patreon will be 9/19 at 7:30 PM it will be so much fun!
The Butter Tier LIVE will tentatively be 9/29!
Next week is Four Factor!
Thank you all so much for being the best there is!
Cassie

Harry Potter and the goblet of fire first tie watching movie Reaction
Saving the best movie for last!
The Bridge on the River Kawai, and Lawrence of Arabia!
And let's not forget Lean and Coward's brilliant "Brief Encounter."
Open up your mind and let me step inside....
Queen, "Play the Game".
The Game is one of the greatest thriller movies, I think so too
The Game is a great movie. Makes zero sense, but it's great!
She's been exposed to 60's music. So maybe???
The Game White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane one of the greatest songs of all time.
Will She recognize it? She has heard it before… very recently. I hate to say it, but I think music goes in one ear and out the other. Still Luv ya Cass.
I truly hope Carly gets to watch The Game with you!! Looking forward to the trivia night!!
Far a field...movie not related to any poll. You and Carly would enjoy Gregory Peck in The Big Country.
Yeah, baby!!
The Game!!!
Been waiting for that one!
Idea for Theme week, before Summer is completely over or at the End of Summer… What I did on My Summer Vacation Week Summer Rental (1985) One Crazy Summer (1986) Summer School (1987) White Water Summer (1987) The Great Outdoors (1988) Weekend at Bernie’s (1989) Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead (1991) Out on a Limb (1992)
Earth Girls Are Easy (1988) Sci-Fi musical romcom with Jeff Goldblum & Geena Davis.
Don’t really have any lows this week but the high for the week is that football is back! 🏈
Let's Go! 🏈
Highs: One of my photos making it on a billboard in Time Square, NY. Lows: Ants in my car. Cool, huh? haha.
Congratulations Philip Alan! Everyone should check out his work. Amazingly talented artist.
Really looking forward to The Game. The reaction should be spectacular. Trivia Night is on my birthday, and I'm going to miss it, because I'm flying home and won't make it in time! Sigh. Oh well, I probably wouldn't have won anyway. I'll be able to watch some of it by the time I get back.
I watched The Game a few months ago figuring it would get a reaction at some point soon. I thought it was ok, but I do agree, it will be a really good reaction.
Stick figure is correct about Lawrence of Arabia. It is ART on film, and won 7 Academy Awards. Another great week of movies....well, two outta three ain't bad. 😉
Whoa! Austin Powers, The Game, and River Kwaii! What a spectacular week!
After you watch The Game, I highly suggest watching The Man Who Knew Too Little (Bill Murray), which is a comedic take on a similar story.
The game is one of Top 5 recommendations for Cassie. Can’t wait😊
Interesting lineup this week. AUSTIN POWERS should be fun now that you've seen the Bond movies and will know what they are spoofing. THE GAME is a highly underappreciated flick. It is an excellent suspense-thriller (while also being a clever satire of the genre) from the brilliant mind of David Fincher, director of SE7EN, ALIEN 3, CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON and FIGHT CLUB. Also, BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI is a great film and will finally introduce to the channel the epic yet simultaneously intimate filmmaking of the Great British director David Lean. Hopefully this is a gateway to you eventually seeing his masterpiece LAWRENCE OF ARABIA. Really looking forward to this week.
Lawrence of Arabia has some of the best cinematography ever put on film. It was way ahead of it’s time.
All looks Good, but… just so you know, there will be a Number of jokes and references in Austin Powers that you won’t get, because they are from a bunch of the James Bond films you haven’t seen yet. I’m curious to see how that will go.
River Kwai all the way. One of the top 3 WW2 movies ever. Who can forget Alec Guinness in this epic
The Game, great! Michael Douglas, such an actor! Hopefully, you will watch Basic Instinct at some point.
One more thought. With THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI coming, there will be 13 reactions for the 50s, but with only 10 reactions for the 60s it is becoming such a forgotten decade. Any chance to give the 60s some love during the autumn/winter? I have suggested it before but dropping in the idea here again: TOP 50 FROM THE 60s A random draw from the top 50 movies just from this decade going to a poll. 3 poll winners could make for a great theme week as well. Here is the filtered list: https://popcornrequests.com/filters_binary/eyJjdXN0b20iOiIhKG0ueWVhcj49MTk2MCAmJiBtLnllYXI8MTk3MCkifQ==
Dr. No (1962) and Thunderball (1965) would help. Just sayin’
Have I asked for Classic Horror and Asian Martial Arts polls yet? Oh, I have? Well I'm going to ask again! Because persistence pays off (I hope).
Hmmm.... I'm not sure, but I may have mentioned a certain swedish movie a couple of times and a poll with non-english movies from Europe. 🤔🤔🫣🫣😬😬 Please Cassie 🥰🥰
I get sinus headaches from allergies and find that caffeine helps with the headaches.
Sorry about your headache.
Next Classics poll needs to have Charade (with Carey Grant and Audrey Hepburn). She liked North by Northwest, and it has quite a similar feel. (And a great one for a Cassie-Carly watch!)
That’s what we need for the next FOUR’s week. "Four from Audrey Hepburn.”; wrapping up with Audrey Hepburn in the 1989 film, “Always”.
Tbh you can be forgiven about The Revenant as quite a lot was made about the Bear scenes, probably just check out the YouTube edit on that one. As I thought it was way to long and overrated but definitely interested to see what you think. It’s probably a great time for you to watch Austin Powers as you’ve just finished the Bond movies. As it kinda pokes fun at them a little. I loved Ted Lasso and I thought they finished it perfectly also definitely looking forward to rewatching The Game as I’ve only seen it once way back when it was released. I’d kinda forgotten about it so it might be like watching it for the first time again 😂😂.
Finally Austin Powers, looking forward to that lol
Beloved wife gets to visit friend in Denver, same lol
Gee, nice lineup of movies! Sorry you have a headache Cassie, hope you get well soon, and hope you got that paint out of your lovely hair, sorry that happened to you! No highs are lows for me this week, same ol' same ol' lol! Well, you are right that a bear is involved in The Revenant, but it's based on a true story about survival and revenge! I put in my vote on the animal poll and made some suggestions of other films involving animals! Looking forward for Austin Powers, it's hilarious! Never seen The Game, but I know of it! Bridge on the River Kwai is a good movie, pretty long, but worth the watch! Platoon was a good, but hard to watch reaction I admit! Still haven't seen Parenthood "yet", but eventually! Looking forward for your reaction to The Abyss! Gosh, I'm having such bad luck when it comes to participating in your Trivia Night Games or your Butter Tier LIVE streams, I work both those days😭 Looking forward for 4 factor, watching the 4th installments! Hope you have a great Wednesday, love and support and God bless you and your family🥰😁😉😇🙏👍🌹
"Bridge on the River Kwai" is excellent through and through. Had to find a better movie out there. Though i will stick with "The Searchers". Austin Powers is great as a Bond follow up and it's been forever and a day since I saw "The Game".
The Game, she'll be perplexed, but she'll like the ending.
I love THE GAME, it is kind of an underrated movie and hope it would make for a good reaction. It has been on my top 10 most requested movies for a while. With THE ABYSS last week, and LETHAL WEAPON 4 coming next week, three from my top 10 in three weeks. I'm happy. 😊 AUSTIN POWERS. Hmm, can't decide how that will be received, especially with Cassie's track record of spoofs. I guess we will find out. Sadly, 7:30 PM MDT is 3:30 AM for Europe, so another trivia night I won't be able to join. 😞 Maybe next time.
I'm looking forward to all of these reactions this week - they're all great movies.
Austin Powers was partially formed after Roman Polanski of the 1960's take a look at his wedding photos.
Austin Powers is ok as a movie - definitely a spoof so I think she will appreciate it after watching the Bond movies,... Roman Polanski however - Not really a great role model,.... On March 10, 1977, 43-year-old film director Roman Polanski was arrested and charged in Los Angeles with six offenses against Samantha Gailey (now Geimer), a 13-year-old girl: unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, rape by use of drugs, perversion, sodomy, a lewd and lascivious act upon a child under the age of 14, and furnishing a controlled substance to a minor. At his arraignment, Polanski pleaded not guilty to all charges but later accepted a plea bargain whose terms included dismissal of the five more serious charges in exchange for a guilty plea to the lesser charge of engaging in unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor. He fled to Europe (France primarily) in 1978, when he found out he would probably get jail time and has avoided coming to the United States and has been avoiding visiting ANY countries that would extradite him to the US for his crimes since then.
Also: Cassie, we need photos of the painted pony tail episode! 🖌 + 👱♀️

Alec Guinness gives one of the best performances I've ever seen in The Bridge on the River Kwai. An astounding film.
While many patrons seem excited to get randy with Austin Powers, I personally am ecstatic that Cassie will finally see _The Abyss_, which I think is an incredibly underrated science fiction movie! 😁
Hope for a first watch it's the theatrical cut. Well-paced and tighter film (and without some distractingly bad wave special effects that were rightly cut). Save the Special Edition for a re-watch someday.
Sorry to hear about your headache. Hope it goes away soon 🤞 Looks like a good week ahead! Feel better Cass!
Not much beats Elizabeth Hurley in a head to toe black leather jumpsuit. God almighty ❤️❤️❤️
In that outfit, Ms. Hurley may well have been the sexiest human being that ever lived.
Bridge over the river Kwai is a cinematic Masterpiece
YES!
Before Austin Powers there was if looks could kill from the year 1991 category action comedy rated PG-13,,,! It's a great movie that's kind of making fun of James Bond but one thing I remember for sure that the principal that was in kindergarten cop is the second main villain in the movie it looks could kill from the year 1991
I repeated a line from that film to my Grandad when I was a kid. The part about a certain piece of anatomy being on fire. I’ll never forget the look he gave me. It wasn’t good. Great film though. :-)
Health and holiday comes first we and myself understand get better soon Cassie 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
The Game. I first found out about that maybe uhh 5ish years ago or so! Great movie. Loved. That's gonna be your sleeper.
Oh behave! 😁
Austin Powers is a funny spoof on James Bond, but it is dumb. Fart humor dumb. THE GAME, very tense,but impossible to do that. Come on, that could not happen. BRIDGE ONE THE RIVER KWAI, yeah, a good movie but heart breaking ending.
The toliet humor of Austin Powers didn't get really bad until the second one. 1 scene I remember. The rest is just innuendo.
My low was the long wait for a Cassie update on these week movies. My high was receiving a Cassie update on these week movies. 🙃
The Game! An underrated film in David Fincher’s oeuvre (imo). It came out between Se7en and Fight Club, so perhaps understandable that isn’t so well remembered.
This is a solid line-up of films, I will enjoy every one. Will Carly sit in on the POWERS film as it is a spoof of the spy genre and you two have watched so many spy films together? The Game will be a very exciting watch and thank you for honoring your commitment to watching BRIDGE! I know many viewers will suggest other worthy David Lean films.
I will be so sad if Carly doesn’t join in on POWERS. (Just saying.)
I’m a Ted Lasso fanatic… I loved this series and it found me in the best of times and worst of times. It showed us both the best in people and the worst actions of people (Rupert). I hope that when this writers and actors strike is finished they possibly create either a new story or atleast a spin off for the AFC Richmond cast. I would love to see how everyone progresses. I have a working theory from the series finale but I’m not gonna get my hopes up.. I would love to hear your thoughts on the whole series.. favorite characters and episodes. This whole series was one big roller coaster.
This series was perfection. Wonderful and a true joy to watch (especially in these too often trying and divisive times). Looking forward to rewatching through Cassie's eyes.

As you watch Bridge on the River Kwai (an absolutely fantastic movie, btw), keep in mind that the actor that plays Colonel Nicholson (Alec Guinness) also played Obi-Wan Kenobi in the first three Star Wars films.
Oh surely Cassie will recognize him, wouldn’t she? :)
Getting to watch Austin Powers is basically the dessert after watching Bond
You never saw Austin Powers???!!!!!!! Wait why am I surprised it's cassie! Lol jk jk
She hasn't even seen Bond yet before this year. How would anyone thing she would watch Austin Powers??? 😂😂😂😂😱😱😱😱
THE GAME (1997). Perfection!
If you can watch Austin you can handle the American Pie saga and Bad Santa this December 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bad Santa is such a great movie!
Austin Powers will be………..interesting!
The Game. Ooooohhhh. Love that movie. Lot of fun.
Underrated and too oft forgotten film. I remember seeing it at the theater.
Be well all 🤞🙏💙
Austin Powers !! And bridge
I swear it's not mine.
That's not my bag, baby! haha
Yeah baby, yeah!
Do I make you ho*** baby? Do I?
I'm not sure "ho" is really better than the full word ;-)
