Watchin' Trailerz with Doug (Oct. 18)

The sun is shining. Leaves are changing colors. It's #ScaryMovieMonth, goshdarnit! LIFE IS GOOD. That being said, let's look at trailerz for some of the most depressing horror films out there (*Note: most of these movies are quite good and/or I find them enjoyable; it might just be their endings that are soul-crushing). Quite a twist, eh? Bet you didn't see that one coming.

Watchin' Trailerz with Doug (Oct. 19)

Only 13 more days of #ScaryMovieMonth left! Bittersweet, no? For this second-to-last Friday of October, let's take a look at some ZOMBIE FILMS from the past! Probably one of my personal favorite subgenres of horror, and, yet, there are SO MANY BAD ONES. Even the master himself, Mr. Romero, has laid some mighty big turds. Stop it already, George!

Two quick notes: 1.) If you're planning on attending the MASSACRE at the Portage Theater in Chicago this weekend, stop by and say hi! According to JB, the first 20 fans will get an "F This Movie!" button. And, as we all know, buttons are the currency of the future! 2.) Don't forget to take part in the Scary Movie Challenge III! LET'S CRUSH THIS THING.

More of Our Favorite Movies (400th Post!)

Can you guys believe it? 400 posts! It seems like just yesterday we were at 398. Let's celebrate by busting out some more of our favorite movies of all time!

F This Movie! - F Zombie Movies!

Scary Movie Month continues as Patrick and JB discuss their favorite zombie movies. And eat brains. BRRRRAAAAAAAAINS.

Watchin' Trailerz with Doug (October 7)

In honour of SCARY MOVIE MONTH, I'll be featuring trailers from classic(?) horror movies* throughout October. Sorry fans of new films coming out roughly between December 2011 and March 2012! Furthermore, today is ma burfday, so consider this a GIFT (that's how birthdays work, right? The birthday boy gives strangers/movie nerds who read websites at 2 a.m. in their underwear theoretical, half-formed "gifts"?). You're welcome. Also, DOUGTOBERFEST!

*Note: because many of these trailers were uploaded years ago, the image quality is pretty poor, and the volume is all over the place. Apologies in advance!

Thanksf'ing #3: Five Movies for Which Doug is Thankful

It's November, and that can mean only one thing at F This Movie! -- it's time to celebrate the holiday of Thanksf'ing. Throughout the month, all of the F This Movie! crew will be sharing the movies for which they are thankful. Because the Mayflower.

Today's entry comes courtesy of Doug:

1. It's a Wonderful Life (1946) - Because who doesn't love Christmas? And Jimmy Stewart? Seriously, if you don't love Jimmy Stewart, you need to go trip and fall. Donna Reed's not all that bad to look at, either, if you catch my boner. My family has watched this movie every Christmas Eve for as long as I can remember. Simply put, it's the ultimate feel-good holiday film (that also gets pretty dark at times), as if that means anything. To me, it does. "Happy New Year to you ... in jail!"

2. Starship Troopers (1997) - This movie kicks butt, and you know it. None of the actors in it (who all appeared in Melrose Place in the 1990s, no?) seem to know exactly what kind of movie they're making, with the hilarious exception of Doogie Howser M.D. And that means director Paul Verhoeven is able to have a LOT of fun at their expense. Flip six three hole, Klendathu, Gestapo bug experimentation ... need I say more? The effects still look awesome today. "Come on you apes! You want to live forever?!"

3. The Blues Brothers (1980) - I love Chicago, and so does this movie. The best SNL spinoff movie (followed closely by Superstar [1999]), featuring two comedians at the top of their game. Excellent music (and dance numbers), with a laundry list of celebrity cameos. The director's cut is unnecessary (do we really care how the car gets its "magic" powers?), and Blues Brothers 2000 (1998) needs to abort itself, but the original still rules. My brother and I used to quote the entire movie on family road trips to Lake Wazzapamani. "Fix the cigarette lighter."

4. Night of the Living Dead (1968) - The only movie I've ever watched and completely forgotten where I was (the answer: trapped inside the body of an awkward 16-year-old boy). I was introduced to this movie during a horror unit in high school, and it changed my life. Super simple story, effective monsters, surprising hero and an annoying woman who just won't shut up. "We're them; they're us." Thanks, remake -- we get it.

5. The Kentucky Fried Movie (1977) - First time I saw boobs in a movie. And boy, did I. According to my sister, when the jugs in question appeared on screen (pressed against a shower door, mind you [boy-oy-oy-oing!]), I ran over to the TV and kissed the glass. Of course, I have no recollection of this. I do, however, remember being punished afterward. Thanks Ali (narc). Oh, and, by the way -- the movie's a giant piece of pie (garbage pie). Fun fact: the second time I saw boobs was in Vacation (1983). Thank you, pre-plastic-surgery Beverly D'Angelo.
