This is a multiday catch up. I watched:
Terrifier (Amazon Prime) 2016 horror movie. I have been well aware of
this franchise for a while now. I've had no interest in watching any of these movies. But I went to a horror convention this weekend and the
star of the franchise was there so I decided to watch them. First up
David Howard Thornton stars at Art the Clown. He never speaks and
pretty much just tortures and mutilates people throughout the movie.
Not my thing. I mostly avoided looking at the screen and just listened
to the screams. But I got it out the way.
Terrifier 2 (Amazon Prime) 2022 sequel which picks up where the last
movie ended. Art the Clown was killed at the end of the first movie,
but he's supernaturally brought back by an evil spirit or something. I don't know. And he's once again silently torturing and mutilating
people, this time on Halloween. And they've added a young brother and sister to the story to go up against Art. Still really not my thing,
but I'll say this was trying something. It's sort of like how the first "Friday the 13" was a straight slasher flick, then it morphed into a supernatural slasher film series. I think they were trying to do the
same thing here with this franchise. Once again I mostly avoided the
kill scenes and just listened. There's a third movie that came out last year, but Amazon doesn't have it.
M3GAN (4K disc) 2022 movie about a doll with AI that bonds with a little girl then goes on a killing spree. The movie holds up very well.
Child's Play (4K disc) 2019 remake that swaps out a cursed doll voiced
by Brad Dourif for a doll with AI voiced by Mark Hammill. The AI bonds
with a little boy then goes on a killing spree. This was not good. It
was mostly background noise with the director's commentary. I could

one point on the commentary he even said he didn't know why the doll was doing what it was doing, but it was in the script.

the scenes. The series is full of celebrity cameos. It's sort of like

It's less "the agenda" (thought that no doubt plays some part), and
more that Disney is now massively overpriced, and middle class families can't afford going there anymore.

The scriptwriter wasn't taking calls? If more dialog was needed to
explain motivation, then he should have demanded revision or written it himself like many directors would do.
be in charge between the director and the writer.

Action was terrific. The satire was wicked. The writer jokes were
hysterical. They hired the wrong writer because they forgot the name of
the guy they really wanted. The prostitute gave him, uh, special
motivation to produce the final draft of the script. They wouldn't pay
him the overtime he was entitled to, so they made him a producer. Then,
that joke was paid off: He yelled at a crew member on set, who
subsequently died. The executive producer congratulated him on becoming
a real producer, having killed his first crew member.
Is The Studio funny or not? You didn't say. I still have trouble
picturing Rogan as the executive.

Does it bear any resemblance to “The Last of Sheila“ which “The Player“ Is
a direct rip off of?

I never heard of "The Last of Sheila." I'm going to have to track it

I recently noticed that when my Internet goes down. I am unable to invoke the inline schedule. I guess the data for the schedule is seperate from the TV signal?
I also watched an episode of million dollar password with that fat pig slob >> from Blue Bloods was the "celebrity' with an unbelievably cute contestant. >> She gave him the clue "conservative"Âť and he replied "crazy" which threw her

I'm not sure which dumber, "conservative" as a clue, or "crazy" as the response.

It’s a good film. With a great cast:
James Mason (which is why I took the GF to see it in the theater)
James Coburn
Raquel Welch
Dyan Cannon. (I think this is the first time I saw her)
Richard Benjamin
Joan Hackett
And beautiful horror star Yvonne Romain as “Sheila“
Just watch says it’s on several services but apparently not free on any of them. :-(
