what is the one horror movie (beyond the standards that of course we're all likely gonna have) that you think we all have in common in our collections?

Probably Halloween. I feel like that maybe the one that is at least liked by damn near everyone. And I pretty much assume most of use still go out of our way to own our copies.

I was watching season 2 of Netflix's Queer Eye reboot, and I came upon the first thing one of the Fab 5 guys said that triggered me. He, the decorator one, was going through this person's things and noticed they had a lot of movies. He comments "someone's gotta teach this family about streaming." I lost my shit and all Alli could do was laugh.

Physical, even a digital copy, will always trump streaming, dillhole. Flaws in streaming: lack of selection, internet can go out or be glitchy, and just because you might've streamed it before ... things get removed...usually when you're in the mood to watch it again (subsection of Lack of Selection though).

Night of the Living Dead. Even if you didn't intend to acquire it, you probably accidentally did when some family member knew you were into horror and got you one of those shitty mega collections of public domain horror.

Foostradamus predicted it! My queer minions are merely spreading the word. It is weird to have your home look like a Best Buy.

I feel like I could be Lord of the Gays. Gays love wrestling. Basically the entirety of gay culture is built upon a bad imitation of Dusty Rhodes.

The lack of control is the underlying monster, here. With streaming, you control absolutely nothing about what is available, when it is available, the quality of your stream, the quality of your internet or the overall selection of movies. In a way, I'm glad movies are mostly shit now, because if this movement started happening in 1980, I would rage.

This is why netflix, and any other streaming feature will never see a dime of my money.

BTW, I was interviewing some people for the restaurant a couple weeks ago and one guy was a pro wrestler. He had a match recently with The Godfather and he was stoked about it.

halloween and night of the living dead are such safe standard bets. :P you guys think that only a small percent of people have those two flicks? maybe it's worse than i thought.

I use it as a general convenience, but when I *know* I'm going to regularly watch something, I buy it to own, so I don't deal with any of them bastards going "oh we don't have it" or "we did have it, but removed it last month."

Was also thinking between us, lol. NOTLD and Halloween are probably our safest most-common-part-of-collection movies.

fair enough. you're probably right. there's a good chance that we all own the remake too, or at least had owned it at one point. :P

I don't. It was one of those "yeah it was good....but I feel no need to revisit it any time soon" movies. It was refreshing to finally come upon an asian horror that wasn't the same redundantly lame ghost story. Luckily I found other good ones since.
