I was listening to a movie podcast that mentioned this quote from Roger Ebert - even though it was aimed at movie franchises, I did think about 'Burbs fandom: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1192222-a-lot-of-fans-are-basically-fans-of-fandom-itself "... Extreme fandom may serve as a security...

I haven't seen Tom Hanks' movie A Man Called Otto yet - but my wife sent me this from the IMDB trivia: "In the cars scene with Otto and Reuben, Tom Hanks' face was digitally de-aged to make him appear in his mid thirties. The VFX team used footage and stills from The 'Burbs (1989) to create a...

A couple days ago I was listening to Little Steven on Little Steven's Underground Garage. He often mixes in movie history between songs - and this time he had a segment on Bruce Dern. I listened to him read off a long list of Bruce Dern's acting credentials, waiting for him to mention The...

I recently had my soil tested for a new septic system - they had to dig several holes all over the front and back yards. Now I have grave-sized dirt mounds all over, and I wonder what the neighbors are thinking. If anyone needs night crawlers feel free to drop by!

Lately there's been some forums marked as "New" even though there are no new messages. Today every single forum shows up as New - is anyone else having this issue?

Is anyone here particularly passionate about the NBC late night line-up? I've generally either been out of the house or sleeping at that time of night, but the monologues have been interesting. Conan is supposedly working to book "A-List" talent before the Olympics start ... including our own...

I was talking to my former college roommate over the weekend, and he mentioned how I used to watch The 'Burbs and M*A*S*H reruns almost exclusively at night. Even though I kept the TV quiet, he said that he always woke up due to increase in volume when the "Machine" guitar kicks in - has anyone...

I guess this is just a common case of stock sound effects.... When Ray, Art, and Mark are spying on the Klopek house with the infrared scope, there is a sound effect as the Klopek's furnace is shutting down. The same sound effect is used in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom right after Indy...
