- Why, as I just mentioned earlier today, Pulse (Kairo) nearly made my list of 20 faves. It perfectly encapsulates my 2020 pandemic mood.
- I have never seen Ghoulies and let's face it, I probably never will. But! I am more inclined to since I just learned that Lisa "'Jennifer' in the movie Jennifer" Pelikan is in it?!
- Of Piranha 3D, a reader said: "Watching Jerry O'Connell's dismembered penis being spit out by a fish in 3D was one of the bright spots to my existence."
- Of House of 1000 Corpses, a reader said: "I am straight up ashamed that I love this stupid broken awful movie. Maybe it's because Chris Hardwick gets scalped in it."
- Lifeforce is so goddamn bonkers, it is perfect 80s and perfectly cocaine.
- YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT KILLER WORKOUT AND SMALL BUSINESS OWNER RHONDA JOHNSON.

Life mother fucking force. How did I leave that off my list?
I didn't have any 2s, but I am one of 3 with Eyes of Laura Mars (waves to EoLM friends).
If I had seen Pulse just three weeks earlier, it would have made my list. I am SO glad I saw it before listening to the GoD episode.
In the past month I've gone backwards in the podcasts from 99 to 60, and all the love for Rhonda Johnson is still very fresh to me!
Also kicking myself for leaving Lifeforce off my list. Gonna pop it on right now to atone for my sins.
Lifeforce! See the blood drained out of Patrick Stewart! Pyewacket... I wish I’d seen this.....
I demand they do a remake of LIFEFORCE with Alexandra Daddario in the Mathilda May role.
Lifeforce! Lifeforce! Lifeforce!
I love Lifeforce. I've read reviews contemporary to it, and I do not get how they were confused by the movie.
I love how Tobe Hooper just let movies end pretty much where everyone is still in freakout mode. I don't believe that Spielberg directed Poltergeist, but I I think Spielberg was responsible for the ending at the hotel where they set the tv outside. Hooper's end was when they get in the car and drive off after picking up the freaking out teen daughter.
@matango - Yeah, the whole 'Spielberg v Hooper' debate will never truly die. Some folks have said that Hooper was so off his trolley on coke that Spielberg was forced to step in and guide the movie.
Spielberg himself, ever the mensch, publicly stated that it was Tobe Hooper's movie.
I like to think of it as a near-perfect melding of two sensibilities.
Somewhere out there is my Piranha 3D triad!
I denied Piranha 3D its rightful place on my list and I have no good excuse for why.
PULSE aka KAIRO is a goll-durned masterpiece, goll-durnit
I don't want to be a Neil Degrasse Tyson but Piranha 3D was made and directed by Alexandere Aja. Piranha 3DD was 2012. Also nobody went to the bathroom.

The world's premiere Piranha 3D fan
Thanks! Fixed.
