I went to Taco Bell for some late night, sleazy food. I heard they had stopped selling the fiery doritos locos taco. Which bummed me out. I dug that one. But I go to order and to my horror, I found out they stopped selling the tostada. The tostada has been one of two go-to items from Taco Bell for me. Ever since I was a wee lad, I always got the Mexican Pizza and the tostada, but they stopped selling the tostada. A Mexican Pizza without a tostada is Simon without Garfunkel. Brady without Belichick. Taylor Swift without me. It just isn't the same.

I am hurt.

Not that I got it, but I thought the Tostada was a standard...

For 30 years, sure. 2019? Not so much. :(

You know you're in for a shitshow if Joe Castro is involved. He struck gold with Terror Toons, but it must have been a fluke, 'cause everything else he touches is garbage.

Still a few weird sex scenes.
I watched that in this Challenge what are the odds
If it was because it’s available to stream I guess reasonable. :D was definitely old school horror.

Deadly Detention

Man, the only thing that could save this would be an epic sex scene with slutty girl and they even neutered that. :D what a mediocre film. It could not play more to stereotype if it tried. I genuinely expected an Asian math geek to drop in midway through to talk about chess club.

Also it’s 2017, how are they unable to do anything resembling real special effects on ANY kills. Like, fucking try!

Sweet Christ. The ending is even worse than the film. Turns out NOBODY FUCKING DIES.

Spoilers I guess. Though I’d like to think I saved you all from a wasted 1hr25.

Ooh. Cinema trip today, watched Ready or Not. That was more like it. Proper fun, good bit o gore. Some random Satanism, mix of violence, tension and a really bloody good finish.

Ready or Not was pretty good. Samara Weaving's on the rise.

Alien will be shown in theaters for a few days next week. I'm going on Tuesday. Always wanted to see it on the big screen.
