Russelmania - The Afterglow....
Here it is:
Film 1- Tango and Cash- hated this movie when it first came out and it still goes- walked out after 20 minutes of this ridiculous, dopey, retarded waste of a film. Great cast in the wrong movie. Shitter #1.
Film 2- Breakdown- haven't seen this since it first hit vhs release. Excellent thrill ride of a film. Really enjoyed it.
Film 3- Used Cars- been dying to see this on 35mm and I finally got my chance. Always loved this one and it was the first time as a child I got to see titties on television. My favorite of the entire marathon.
Film 4- Executive Decision- was meh about it when it first hit vhs, and it still goes. Loved Seagal, though he's gone really early, and loved the fucking terrorists getting their asses handed to them after over an hour of lollygagging on the plane. Other than that, kind of too long and rather boring.
Film 5- Escape from LA- I groaned in absolute agony when the title came up on the screen. Hated this waste of a sequel since it first came out, and have loathed it's existence ever since. I promptly got our check and split, because I refused to be subjected to this shitter.

Quick Take: The Devil's Backbone
Never seen this before and I wish I hadn't. Crawls at a snail's pace, incredibly boring, could care less about any of the annoying characters, and I could call what was going to happen next quite easily. What was a 100 minute film felt like 3 hours. At least there was multiple child death in it. And if this wasn't on 35mm, I'd be even more angry about it.

Screening Check: Suspiria (uncut and in Italian)
I first saw this over twenty years ago and hated it. So I figure to give it another go being on 35mm. Guess what? Still hate it. The print looked amazing, but that's all it had going for it. Extremely slow paced, not much happens, and I was utterly bored to tears. Folks say it's Argento's best, but I must vehemently protest. I even had to shush some hood rat woman for speaking extremely loud with retarded comments like, "Oh my god, she's bleeding!" It was a Key and Peele sketch come to life. Luckily she and her man left shortly after I shushed her dumb ass. May she get Ebola.
