    Feel like there are a lot of examples from that era. Some songs were so iconic people don’t realize they were written for the movie ie. The Breakfast Club.

    St Elmo’s Fire has a particularly funny accompanying music video for the John parr song:



    Another great media offshoot from this movie is the doc Andrew McCarthy made where he tracked down all his old co-stars and bitched at them why he isn’t as famous.

    I went to a Shrek musical last night to support a co-worker's kid and it was actually a lot of fun. Small community theater had some decent production value

    So I always thought Brosnahan was hot as Ms Maisel but every time I see a Superman commercial she looks kind of weird to me.

    great movie but suffers from that early time of movies where it has a kind of insane ending and it ends like 4 seconds later and doesnt breathe at all

    I missed this, came out about a month ago from Kazakhstan



    A brutal story of an unlikely duo who will stop at nothing to find what they are looking for, Adilkhan Yerzhanov's award-winning film Steppenwolf is "a nihilistic, hyper-violent redemption tale filled with social commentary" (Molly Henery, The Blogging Banshee) and "a must-see for fans of ultra-violent, vicious and unforgiving revenge films" (Gary Gamble, Moviehooker). Tamara (Anna Starchenko), a young lady consumed by trauma, searches for her missing son, Timka, in a small town dominated by riots and violence. In a desperate attempt to get him back, she teams up with an amoral former police investigator (Berik Aitzhanov) whose methods prove to be frequently cruel and sadistic. Quietly determined, Tamara decides to complete the mission with the nihilistic detective, no matter the cost, as the pair embark on a bloody and bullet-riddled road trip in their combined search for salvation. Winner of the Golden Raven Grand Prix at the 2024 Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival and the Outstanding Performance Award for both Anna Starchenko and Berik Aitzhanov at the 2024 Fantasia Film Festival, Steppenwolf is the latest film from acclaimed director Adilkhan Yerzhanov (Cannes-selected The Gentle Indifference of the World and Venice-selected Goliath) and Oscar-nominated producer Alexander Rodnyansky (Leviathan).

    Between Mean Streets and Serpico.

    If you haven't seen either I would rather watch Pacino fuck up some dirty cops.

    Really weird scene... Rewatching this now. Also the scene ends with that punk kid reciting Merrill's hs baseball records which might be the most unbelievable part of the movie

    I don’t think my brain is wired well enough for jump scares to typically work. When that alien walks across the birthday party I remember jumping out of my chair in the theater.

    The people that saw the cinemacon presentation are saying this trailer doesn’t do any justice to what they saw. I think it looks pretty good so that bodes well for the end project. Now hurry up and finish spider verse you two.
