Do you believe in the paranormal?

And everything that comes under the umbrella of paranormal like ghosts, extraterrestrial life, unidentified flying objects, unexplained phenomena, psychic abilities, conspiracy theories, haunted houses, demons, cryptids etc.. ?

I for one believe in all this stuff. I have a rather large collection of books from everything to U.F.Os/alien abductions to unexplained phenomena to conspiracy theories. A lot of people out there are (rightfully) sceptical, and might consider those who do believe to be weirdo's or something 😄 However, I really am fascinated by it all, and I feel there is just to many stories/reports/evidence out there for it to be all made up in my opinion.

As the tagline for The X-Files goes: "The Truth is Out There" ....

Anyone a believer?

How good is your computer?

I'm working on something that's almost 10 years old. When I go to certain webpages, the computer hums loudly, because it can't handle the javascript. I can't play games, and I think the thing is finally starting to crap out. Everytime I start it up, I pray that it works. I do a rain dance just to make it turn on, because sometimes, it really doesn't want to.

I haven't even been able to use Unity to try to develop any games lately, because my computer wont run that program anymore. Also, I can't watch some videos on here, because the video gets fucked. I think I might need a new computer soon... I hope old Betsy can last me a few more months.

What do you browse the net with? Desktop or mobile? How good is your device, and what else does it do for you?

2018 TE Black & White Challenge Progress Thread



Welcome to the 6th annual Black And White Challenge. This is also the 2nd one to be featured on Trash Epics. This is the place to make your spot. Again, new rules, this year. We're doing a point for every minute. Anything black and white counts. Movies, TV shows, serials, shorts. Tinted films count, as well as movies that are partially in color as long as it is outweighed by the B&W. Beginning January 1st at midnight. Ends when January ends.

I'll be adding cool shit to the Trash Epics Theater all month. So, keep an eye out for that.

February Challenges

Anybody got anything in mind for February? Black History month? Valentines Day & love themes? It's a short month, so we don't have as much time.

If nobody has anything better, I'll host a love week from Feb 11-17, like @Amon suggests here https://trashepics.com/post/128/7/ , using his criteria. It could lead for a fun week. I'll probably just watch My Bloody Valentine '81 and '09, because I can't think of much else relevant, but I guess movies with "Kiss" in the title might count, so that opens it up a bit... to porn maybe. ☹️ Not sure. Maybe I'll watch "Valentine" with David Boreanaz again, even though it probably still sucks.

RoboCop, the Future of Law Enforcement!

1987 was a great year for movies. It was the start of some great franchises like Predator, Hellraiser, and Lethal Weapon, but most importantly... it gave us... RoboCop!

Peter Weller is awesome. Most people might look at the character design and think it's just a cheesy movie about a guy in a clunky suit, but the story is just wonderful. Back in the 80s, we still had some great sci-fi, like Blade Runner, The Terminator, Aliens, Predator, and this guy. Alex RoboCop Murphy. There are so many great concepts in the movie, as well as characters, special effects, and did I mention gore? It was initially rated X, and they had to trim it down to R. Funny enough, there was also a PG-13 version out there at some point.

According to the IMDb parent guide https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093870/parentalguide , this movie has severe levels of "Violence & Gore", "Profanity", "Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking", "Frightening & Intense Scenes", and only moderate levels of "Sex & Nudity". Aka, not for kids, so what do they do? They made children's cartoons out of it, and toys, and video games, and comics... all stuff for kids. Weren't the 80s great?

This movie is so good. I've seen all the original movies, both live action tv shows, and the shitty remake, but none of them are nearly as good as the original. Now, here's where things get interesting:

Purely theoretical at this point, but a man can dream! I can dream of Peter Weller making a comeback, or at least voicing the part. I can dream of Nancy Allen making a return. I can dream that something great is on the horizon, because this is the new trend. Blade Runner made a comeback. The Terminator is making a comeback. Halloween is making a comeback. Hollywood wants to keep the old shit alive, and a new RoboCop... ignoring that god awful 2014 remake... well I'd buy that for a dollar!

Voyager

I've been watching Star Trek: Voyager on Netflix. Pretty good show. I was pretty happy when Seven of Nine showed up, and glad to see that not ALL of her implants were removed.

Equinox (1970)

Mostly something to watch as a curiosity for the early career of Dennis Murren. Stop motion monsters and demons mostly filmed in minimal locations in the woods.

It's alright it's not the worst movie but most of the entertainment you'll get out of it is if you go in with the mindset that it's a low budget production from early career filmmakers.

Shudder Interested in Reviving Joe Bob Briggs' "MonsterVision"!

"The Drive-In will never die!"

TNT's "MonsterVision" began in the early 1990s, but it was when Joe Bob Briggs took over as host in 1995 that the show really became a beloved Saturday night staple for horror fans. Essentially, Briggs played the role of horror host for the show, introducing different horror movies each week and popping up to talk shop throughout.

Briggs hosted the show until it was removed from TNT's lineup in September 2000; the final episode aired on July 8, 2000, and included Children of the Corn II.

Now, 18 years later, Briggs himself has taken to Twitter to let his followers know that the streaming service Shudder is considering a reboot — and he needs our help.

"The Shudder network says they might revive some version of MonsterVision if we get enough video testimonials," Briggs tweeted. "Weird, right? You can send them to joebob@joebobbriggs.com, but my position remains: The show was cancelled, so NOW THE PEOPLE MUST SUFFER."
