In 1973 the Lutheran Society commissioned an age discrimination PSA film. To do this, they hired George A Romero! He proceeded to make a 50 minute piece about an old man going to a life-like amusement park where all the rides seem specifically designed to taunt, intimidate, extort and/or terrorize elderly goers. The Lutherans thought this went too far (why else would you hire Romero then?!), so they nixed it from release. It basically sat in a bin from that point on until shortly before Romero died when he showed it to someone from the Turin Film Festival, and then they played it for his wife
After his death his wife started the George A Romero Foundation and made restoration of the film priority 1. After two years, a plague, and a very limited theatrical release from last month, The Amusement Park finally is available for fans to watch and to stream exclusively on Shudder
As with most older Romero works, this holds up surprisingly well! An overloading of sensations between the camerawork, soundtrack and pacing that increases the uncomfortableness of the experience, it's basically a Romero-directed Twilight Zone episode, including opening and closing narration from the star (Lincoln Maazel, whose only other role was in Martin, another Romero film)
For historical purposes, this is necessary; pre-2019 few knew The Amusement Park even existed, let alone realistically hoped it'd be released. For Romero fans, they won't be disappointed; despite lacking (much) blood, this still feels pretty tense throughout most of the runtime and stands side-by-side with the best of his early work in that department
I keep thinking of a Letterboxd review I saw, so I'll close this recommendation with that: "Stare long enough at capitalism (or mortality) and you'll see either a horror movie or a sick joke. Romero, of course, sees both."

I am here to report that I just completed another watch of Fright Night (2011) and it still fucking bangs.
The only criticism I have is, I wish the movie gave the book pages on Paimon and a couple of other brief but important textual details like, a quarter second longer to sink in - especially so for the fact that Paimon is frequently pictured carrying three heads, which I totally missed up until looking his mythos up after the film

Hi movie I’m dad
What an amazingly stupid movie
We'll probably watch Fast Six this Friday
Oh yeah! I forgot this was coming out!!
here is stalked, from 1969
5 is probably the least stupid of the New Testament section of fast and furious canon, tho still the best
My wife and I know we watched the first one, but we cannot recall a signal thing about it other than Samuel L. Jackson was the hitman and Ryan Reynolds was the bodyguard.
We can remember more about RIPD than we can about this movie.
Our group really liked 6. I think because we expected 5 to be the one to go off the rails completely and it let us down a bit in that regard. 6 delivered the extreme shark jumping. 7 was almost too stupid. We'll probably watch 8 this weekend.
that's horrible, shame on you, think of the poor executives
also how hard was it to do how hidden in the cancel button
I wanna say it was relatively simple, account->subscription->cancel or something along those lines (and being monthly I was able to do it well in advance and keep using it till it expired).
And if the execs wanted me to stay on for another month they shoulda put another Godzilla movie the next month!
It was such a hyped moment watching that in the theatre.
Great catalog, interesting slate of originals. The app (especially on PS5) is buggy as shit, but it's the only streamer I use daily. Which I really didn't see coming.
what else you need??
But it easily has some of the best movie selection for like, if I have no idea what I want to watch
also because i bought too much media on dvd lately so i haven't really used any streamers
The best way I've found to keep streaming services in line is to buy a gift card for the amount of one month and use that to subscribe
For movies my favorite streaming platform is HBO-Max
For everything though my favorite streaming platform is Tubi
I agreed with this and then realized about 10 seconds later that I've watched two movies on Midnight Pulp in the last week.
Overall I'm mostly working my way through the insane number of movies I've bought on disc over the last year. When I do watch something on a streaming service it's usually Shudder, or lately Midnight Pulp. But HBO Max is surprisingly good and the best of the major streaming services for movies.
what, you don't like it soft crashing every time you pause for more than 5 seconds? or when you try to rewind a little bit? or when you click play on something??
Why, Everwood and Gossip Girl, of course!
Speaking of, I peeped the trailer for the new Gossip Girl. It seems like it's gonna try to be good, which feels like a mistake. But the usage of Frank Ocean's "Super Rich Kids" was very, very choice.
The only problem I had was there's no option to cancel on the app. You have to login to their website and go into account info. Which isn't awful but was a little aggravating
