You hadn't watched Dawn of the Dead before tonight?

I know, it's shameful. I can't get my wife to ever watch scary movies, so it just got put at the bottom of the list. If it were up to her, we would probably just watch Far and Away repeatedly.

But I pick up pills today, so tonight I should be able to sleep again. I will sort of miss this.

I remember one time I couldn't sleep and was going through the channels and found the big lebowski on.I hadn't seen it before then.That did not help me go to sleep.Instead I decided to rent the movie since the tv version is heavily edited.I thought the unedited version was hilarious.I then eventually bought the dvd and it remains one of my favorites,dude.

I think the best 2 am movies are the friday the 13th's and nightmare on elm street movies.

Godzilla movies are the best in the middle of the night.

Well, I have medication that is suppose to help with sleep and headaches. And it only takes up to 30 days to start to work.....WTF????

Anyway, Batman Begins will be shown tonight in the Man Room.

I saw Orson Welle's "The Stranger" one night at 3 am and was completely enthralled. It remains my personal favorite of his films even though I realize that it is flawed overall and even he didn't like it much. Something about watching it that late just got to me.

Oh totally!

Back in the pre-DVD, pre-internet, pre-_____ day, when I actually had HBO and Cinemax - I must have watched every crap movie, B or otherwise, ever produced in the 80's. Some still sucked, even though I still got sucked into watching them - but a few actually became guilty pleasures.

Vincent Price was always my favorite.

Batman Begins was maybe the best Batman yet. The first was great, 2nd was good, the rest was crap. This one made me wish for more. This is how they all should have been. I was truly amazed. I give it a 2 am 10/10. Of course, I watched it early, but at 2 am it is definately perfection.

Took a pill, and now in 29 days, I'll be able to sleep well again. Unless the medication doesn't work. But until then, I have my lovely little thread to keep me amused.

Time for TV, but I smell a rotten movie coming up as well.

So what's on?

Me too! My formative years were spent watching some really entertaining movies between the hours of 11 PM - 3 AM, until the goddamn infomercials took over. If not for late night movie viewing, I probably wouldn't have the interest I have now in old movies, especially Film Noir and classic monster movies. I guess this is another example of the destructive power of money.

I ended up just catching up on Tivo material.

Also, any horror movie is great in a theater after midnight. I went to a midnight showing of a pretty bad slasher movie called The Pool a few years back and it was great. Saw the same movie on DVD later on and it lost all its charm. Also, saw the 2005 House of Wax at a midnight show (actually 12:30) last May. There were only two other people in the theater, so there was a weird creepy 'isolated but still out in public' feeling. Best theater experience I'd had in years.

Sounds like the midnight screening of Hulk I went to.

Just got done with Land of the Dead. Great middle of the night flick. I was disappointed with the ending in two ways. First they wuss out and let the dead go because they are "just looking for a place to belong" or whatever crap they spewed from their mouths. Yeah, their looking for a place to belong with live humans so they can eat them. DUH. Also, the other shows ended with a little snippet that always let you know "while you may think it ends nicely....it really super sucks to still be around, and they probably all died." That was always cool. So I watched all the credits to see if Romero would do this again, and instead I read a bunch of names that mean nothing.

Next up, I watched a show about the life of an old gospel singer. I enjoy gospel music, and so naturally I enjoyed it, but beyond that it was really nice to watch the life of an old guy and simply learn more about him. But to be honest, it would have been better during the non-cryptic hours.

Well, 2:45 am, and I can't sleep. Time to look for something else.

Last night (actually this morning) I watched Friday Night Lights. Probably one of the best High School football films I have seen. Varsity Blues was good for someone looking for the antagonist coach, wild group, and cliche' players. Remember the Titans was pretty weak as far as a football movie goes. Radio was more aobut the coach and the mentally retarded boy. The System was more about corrupt coaches.

This was a good show. And one note about Billy Bob Thorton. In his "real" life, I just can't stand the guy. Don't really like anything about him, but he is one of the few actors that can make me forget everything about "him" and just enjoy a movie. He really is a great actor.

Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama

The Wicker Man is phenomenal at 3 AM. (And earlier, it still owns.)

HBO showed Robot Jox at 5:30 am the other day, I caught the beginning and was properly entertained into slumber. Man how I love that movie.

Schindler's List is great at any time. But at 2am, fantastic entertainment!

I feel the same way about Robin Williams. I really love him in movies (particularly his serious roles), but when he's being interviewed I just want to smack the hell out of him.

Yea but you could have done all that and more out of your ONE BEDROOM APT.

Seriously, I am so thankful for TIVO. If I didn't have it recording crap all day long, I would be watching infomercials every night, and knowing me, I would buy a fair amount of it.

I have to break ranks here and say that bad movies are the best on Saturday mornings/afternoons.

There should be more movies like this, except done really well. Robot Jox was pretty good, but I imagine things could be sweet these days.

I stopped by Hollywood Video tonight on a quest to find some B-looking horror movies, just for this reason. The girlfriends out of town, so I'll be hitting up hooters and watching:

Monkey Shines
The Black Gate
Bloody Mary

Hopefully the late night, wings, beer, and halloween boobies make this a quality night.

The guy had Jolie on tap - you have to respect that.

Last night.... I SLEPT!!!!

I would like to tell you it was wonderful, but I had a headache by 2 am and decided to just keep trying. I continued to sleep, but it was not restful, and I had a nasty headache today. Back to the old schedule.

You're being shelfish taking those pills, kvrdave. Let the thread live!
