The movie you just watched
Battle Beyond the Stars: Roger Corman produced Dollar Store attempt to ride the coattails of Star Wars. John Sayles penned this one and after seeing it you'd never imagine he'd go on to make Lone Star. James Cameron did the special effects on a shoestring budget. George Peppard shows up to cash a check while waiting for The A Team to become a thing. The Millennium Falcon analog looks like a flying set of boobs. File under "so bad it's good."

They missed a golden opportunity to get tons of great drops out of the Cat metal band game by not dropping the music.

Thread for people banned from DT till coronavirus goes away
Yeah if someone is posting racist nonsense and being allowed to get away with it that's bullshit but precisely what are you going to do to "take a stand"?

Most of the women in your state voted for a child molester over Doug Jones. Physician, heal thyself.

Go fuck yourself. You're drawing battle lines where there don't need to be battle lines. Maybe all the white men in your shithole state are like this but in civilization they're not.

Coronavirus Political Victory Lap
Yeah. I am not understanding this line of thought from Trumpkins. Mental acuity and proclivity for sexual assault are a push for the two major party candidates but the Trump people act like he's a smooth talking trial lawyer at the top of his game.

The classic film I've never seen
That list needs LA Confidential on it. Also, is Vertigo really a crime film?

People have been digging a grave for the theater business for a long time. People want to get out of the house in the evenings/on the weekend and going to the movies is a pretty low effort way to do that.

How on earth did Russell the ticker guy ever convince anyone to give him a job talking on the radio for a living.

I know in all the nature documentaries I watch the gazelle usually sits down and says "There is no lion! The lion is a giraffe hoax! There will be zero lions soon!"

The mayor of Orlando pretty much said "Fuck it. Y'all figure it out!" as far as opening Disney World goes. The Shanghai park is preparing to reopen with social distancing guidelines. They'll be able to dump some of their movies in theaters this summer. That's really all the positive news that's out there and none of that justifies the price being roughly where it was at this time last year.

Oh yeah... Disclaimer: If the kid was robbing houses then obviously he absolutely should have been punished but not by an extrajudicial vigilante squad.

Thank goodness some good guys with guns were there to stop that horrible negro who had the nerve to run through their neighborhood!

Also on the AMC front, the chain just announced they are going to refuse to screen any Universal releases because Universal has decided that they're going to continue to release on VOD at the same time as theatrical release after the pandemic is over which means that anyone who wants to go to see a Universal movie in theaters will be going to a not AMC theater to see it.

Stocks only go up and interest rates only go down. It's like those "Don't back up over these spikes!" things at the rental car lot exits.

AMC just issued $500m in debt and they already had a shitton of outstanding debt to begin with so I don't think the outlook is all that great for them but, say it with me folks, it's already priced in!

What the fuck man? I hate Trump as much as the next guy but this is absolutely off the reservation.
