Hello good sirs,
August FLEW by, FLEW!! I can't believe it's almost over! I hope you are all having a great week. This week, if you saw my instagram you saw I conquered a cold plunge, but lost to a 10 year old's cleat! We are getting back into a groove with back to school (ish) and I'm looking at my cozy sweaters and cool weather clothes like Scottie looked at Madeleine Elster!
Tonight we have the monthly LIVE, we are going to do a watch-along to Parenthood, I am excited, feel like I needed a lighthearted movie before the next two of the week. I wanted to possibly watch one I have already seen and loved with all of you, but that would be a patreon exclusive and I need to get ahead on YT content, so two birds, one steve martin stone!
There's going to be a poll for an upcoming theme week dropping this week-you will see but they have one thing in common but surprisingly span many different genres! vvvaaaagggguuuuee
We are also going to have a Four Factor Week in Septrember-I'll be watching Indiana Jones 4, Lethal Weapon 4 and John Wick 4!
All good things, all good things!
Thanks for your support and kindness always!
Cassie

Looking forward to reaction on The Abyss (a long time personal favorite of mine). However, for a first viewing, I'd recommend the theatrical cut (rather than the Special Edition). Hope you find a good copy, and enjoy the viewing! (and yes, as others have said, with your sister!)

2023-09-01 08:34:09 +0000 UTCOk. Did you know that when filming The Abyss, James Cameron shot so much feet of film, that the (ru)ntime of the Slashed raw VIDEO added up to a total of Slashed 6,265,927,764,545 seconds, before being put together the right way. That’s some High Quality filmmaking, right there. Seriously, but not Seriously. Ok. And don’t forget, John has a long mustache.

2023-08-30 17:18:13 +0000 UTCI am really missing Blockbuster with The Abyss coming up right away
Cole Jennett
2023-08-30 15:41:02 +0000 UTCDonnie Brasco is my fav mafia movie. A Bronx Tale is good as well.
David Collins
2023-08-30 14:24:26 +0000 UTCThe Abyss is so good that I can't even begin to tell you! I hope your sister is with you for the watch!
Lamar Savage
2023-08-30 10:18:04 +0000 UTCMaybe a Mafia week at some point? You could watch 'The Godfather Part 3' and finish that trilogy. Regardless of what people say about it, and I have some thoughts too, no one likes to keep things lingering, you gotta finish it at some point. There are good things in it too. Then you could do 'Casino', which you could call Martin Scorsese's spiritual sequel to Goodfellas. Some actually prefer it to Goodfellas. It's also based on real life. De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Sharon Stone all give terrific performances. Then you could wrap it up with 'A Bronx Tale' which has Mafia elements in it and takes place in that environment, but is really more of a coming-of-age film that touches on themes such as role models, wasted talent, and interracial relationships, among others. I think you'd really like that one. That would be a good balance within that genre IMO.

2023-08-30 07:27:15 +0000 UTCParenthood is such a gem. A truly underrated and realistic look at family life. They don't make movies like that anymore.
Rodger Johnson
2023-08-30 02:26:51 +0000 UTCOk okay ok. Did you know James Cameron has made $62,659,277,645.45 (at the end of it all) off of The Abyss since its release all over the world in 1989, across all continents, from Europe to (Ru)ssia to the Americas. Ok, I may have inflated that amount a bit, but it looks a little better in my opinion. I mean, between all the slashes and hacking of it’s gross worth, there’s a great “video” to show still. Also, Fun Fact. The End Credits for the Abyss were shortened during its Theatrical Run in 1989, so that theaters could maximize their showings. The DVD went back to the original 10 minute credits for the Theatrical and Extended versions, while some television channels kept the credits which run 5 minutes shorter.
Larry Darrell
2023-08-30 00:28:06 +0000 UTCParenthood & The Abyss are both so good! Please watch the extended version of The Abyss because it’s the director’s preferred version and it answers more questions
Robbie
2023-08-30 00:19:02 +0000 UTCMy thoughts exactly. He’s gonna need to make money off of his catalogue, now that his last Avatar sequels have been pushed to the next decade.
Larry Darrell
2023-08-29 22:00:39 +0000 UTCI really hope James Cameron gets his head out of his @$$ and releases The Abyss on 4K or blu-ray. It’s a long overdue release.
Tim Raths
2023-08-29 21:51:59 +0000 UTCI know it’s probably not happening today, but I keep checking Patreon just in case the abyss was posted. I can’t help it. I am so freaking excited.

2023-08-29 20:13:00 +0000 UTCGee-wiz, lots of fun stuff coming up, can't wait for your reaction to The Abyss and Platoon, I've actually never seen Platoon, at least not all the way, plus I'm familiar with that iconic image that you see in the movie! Recently watched your Kindergarten Cop and Red Dawn reactions and loved them both, left some good commentary on both for you to check out lol! Yes, August sure flew by really quick, now we getting into September, my birthday month😁 Looking forward for your reactions to the triple 4 lol, Leathal Weapon 4, John Wick 4 and Indiana Jones 4! I know a lot of people are saying Indy 4 is a huge no no, but I'm glad you're at least gonna watch it once, I admit myself, it's not perfect, it's no where near as good at the trilogy, but in my opinion it's far from being the worst Indy movie ever made! Have a Happy Tuesday, love and support always, sorry I couldn't make it for the watch-along last night, you (and Carly) are the best, [virtual hug] God bless you and your family, and as always [snaps fingers & winks] stay classy Cassie🥰😁😉😇🙏👍🌹

2023-08-29 19:59:50 +0000 UTCInteresting HH, thanks. "A history of the Korean War, written in 1963, it is a study of what happens when a nation neglects the basics of war fighting." I knew a Korean War Veteran (in fact I've known Vets from WWI through to Afghanistan). Terrible stories from Korea, including he was pinned down as a heavy mounted machine gun was firing down on him and shredded away much of the tree he was hiding behind just above him. When that position was taken, he went to that machine gun and pointed it as to where he was ... the mounting didn't it allow it to shoot any lower, where he was, so that saved his life. Anyway, clearly the lessons of Korea were lost upon President Johnson as to what he did in Viet Nam. BTW, President JFK did ask Gen. Douglas MacArthur about Viet Nam right as the French were losing control, and his advice was to stay out of it. I doubt JFK's approach would have been the same as LBJ. Another great quote from MacArthur was "you can't win a land war in Asia."
Richard Bourne
2023-08-29 19:22:18 +0000 UTCWithout re-litigating Korea and Vietnam, I'll take the opportunity to plug There Will Be War, Ted Fehrenbach's classic and readable history of the Korean War, and especially Proud Legions, its standalone 25th chapter. [The book is definitely worth buying (or checking out of your library). Alternately, the Proud Legions essay is available in Volume II of the worthwhile There Will Be War anthology. But until you obtain it, you can also read it here: http://space4commerce.blogspot.com/2006/05/proud-legions-by-tr-fehrenbach.html ]

2023-08-29 17:58:45 +0000 UTCI'm literally the only person I'm aware of that dislikes the director's cut of The Abyss, mainly the ending. I gave it multiple tries, but it always feels amateurish compared to the rest of the movie. The acting, the effects; even the music score sounds like synthesizer sampling - it's like a Youtube creator decided to add onto the original "real" movie.

2023-08-29 17:27:38 +0000 UTCMacArthur and President Truman had their differences in the Korean War once Red Communist China (as opposed to Formosa, now Taiwan) sent in hundereds of thousands of troops. As what later happened in Viet Nam the President would not allow pursuit of Chinese aircraft as they escaped back to China, nor any bombing in China. MacArthur was ready to use nukes, up to 30 of them depending on what stories you hear, and the World would have been a different place.

2023-08-29 16:49:31 +0000 UTCI don’t get the hate with die hard 4. I like it significantly more than 2 and 3. I choose that over the absolutely abysmal Indiana Jone 4.

Happy Hanukkah
2023-08-29 15:43:26 +0000 UTCThe obvious defence of these movies is that they aren't meant to be documentaries but rather Art, perhaps in the service of a Greater Truth. The problem is that (i) veterans of this conflict understandably can become upset at what they view as a negative distortion of their experiences, and (ii) as people become more ignorant of the actual history, they accept the fictionalized versions as the default truth.

2023-08-29 14:41:59 +0000 UTCSurprised to see, "The Abyss" as it can't be found on most streaming platforms. Is that going to be the Theatrical Version or the Extended Version?
Miles E Coburn
2023-08-29 14:15:23 +0000 UTCI managed to find a DVD of Abyss at the beginning of the year. I grabbed it when I saw it because they are hard to find and I new we would get to it someday. Looks like that day has arrived. I remember some of the movie. But, it has been a long time since I've seen it. It will be nice to rediscover it and see if it is a good as I remember it from 15-20 years ago.
Rick Williams
2023-08-29 11:25:34 +0000 UTCEvery vet I've talked to about Vietnam movies, including my brother-in-law who was there, hated Platoon. But there isn't a clear consensus as to why they hate it. I thought it was stylized to a fault, like a war ballet, and that it tried to have its cake and eat it too by condemning atrocities while also making them look like a macho adventure. And while the story it tried to tell is that racism and jingoism are bad the story it showed was centered on fully developed white characters while the non-white ones were marginalized. But while I prefer Apocalypse Now that is also problematic. And while The Deer Hunter had a lot going for it its actual depiction of the war was cartoonish. So far the best movies about that war are those that don't try to replicate the battle experience but address its effects on veterans and the culture of both countries.

2023-08-29 08:19:35 +0000 UTCCassie is really good at building suspense, huh? I still wonder which version she's going to watch. I hope our messages have gone through and I'm really crossing my fingers for the SE. I lived through that with ALMOST FAMOUS and hope not to repeat it this time.

2023-08-29 06:05:29 +0000 UTCOK Opinions vary. It showed the ugly side of the war to the extreme which some people I know did not appreciate as that was the exception not the norm, so to speak. Thanks for your service!
Richard Bourne
2023-08-29 06:05:17 +0000 UTCWow, wow, wow, it is coming! I'm so happy to see you finally react to THE ABYSS! For me this movie is a masterpiece. You are in for a treat. 😃 I'm still hoping it is going to be a reaction to the longer SPECIAL EDITION cut. 🤞🤞🤞 It adds so much more depth and meaning to the story. It's like a whole different movie. Also, very happy to read Lethal Weapon 4 is coming in September. Can't wait to see that reaction. It seems Indy 4 is getting a lot of dislike in the comments, but to be honest I'm fairly certain Cassie is going to enjoy it and even love certain aspects of it, especially for a first-time watch. I did too, even though I have my fair share of issues with the movie after subsequent watches.

2023-08-29 05:14:27 +0000 UTCO.M.G. THE ABYSS? YEEEEESSSSS!!!!! I have been waiting for this reaction since I first started watching this channel! This is one of my all-time favorite films. I think it is easily James Cameron's best movie and I know you will love it. :-) But for the love of God and all that is holy... Please, please, PLEEEEEAAAASEE... WATCH THE LONGER SPECIAL EDITION. That's all I have to say about that As for the other movies, I am confident you'll enjoy PARENTHOOD. It's fun. PLATOON will be rough, but it's a good Vietnam movie (not as good as APOCALYPSE NOW, but still worth seeing). I'll hold off on my comments about Indy 4, JW 4 and LW 4 for later. Keep up the good work.
Stick Figure Studios
2023-08-29 05:12:53 +0000 UTCAbsolutely, positively and unequivocally THE SPECIAL EDITION!

2023-08-29 05:03:54 +0000 UTCJust an offhand thought. Perhaps an Al Pacino week?? 1) Any Given Sunday (for the football movie checklist) 2) Dog Day Afternoon (the winner of one of the recent live polls) and 3) Frankie and Johnny (runner up on one of the polls and a rom com for Cassie to finish the week off)

2023-08-29 04:29:14 +0000 UTCSome great choices this week Cassie. Can’t wait for parenthood. Did you pick that one because of all the talk about it in the Philadelphia reaction? I’m guessing yes. The 4’s week sounds fun. I will be skipping Indy 4 cause it’s god awful. But Lethal weapon 4 you will love!! You picked some great movies this summer. Can’t wait for Halloween. My favorite month and my favorite genre of movies. Horror!!!!!! Hope you have a great week and everyone else.
brooke atkins
2023-08-29 04:24:15 +0000 UTCI'm also for Die Hard 4 over Indy 4. One reason is that it's a significantly better movie and also, I don't want Indy 4 to taint her love of the Indiana Jones saga.
Shawn Kildal
2023-08-29 04:15:50 +0000 UTCWell, this is an Oliver Stone movie and he tend to push what is "reality" to an extreme. When a movie pushes an agenda in an unbalanced way, I think you can hate it for that. Did terrible things happen in Viet Nam, you bet. My Uncle was a doctor on a medical ship and some of the worst wounds were soliders shooting their commanding officers at point blank range. Yes, that happened, as referenced in ANIMAL HOUSE at the end. Drug use, again, just watch the movie AMEICAN GANGSTER. It was such a terrible conflict, fought by many who were drafted and didn't want to be there. Korea was similar in some ways. Douglas MacArthur in the movie of his name said "This isn't war, this is half war", due to the insance restrictions put upon him. FLIGHT OF THE INTRUDER makes this point in Viet Nam when Nixon finally allowed the bombing of Hanoi.
Richard Bourne
2023-08-29 03:25:04 +0000 UTCThe longer SPECIAL EDITION is a lot better movie in every aspect. It is one of, if not the best film of Cameron. While the theatrical is rather at the weakest end of that list for me.
Gábor Árki
2023-08-29 02:59:02 +0000 UTCDefinitely Die Hard 4 over Indy 4. Not even close.
Kirk & Dawn VanWinkle
2023-08-29 02:55:59 +0000 UTCSometimes people don't like to see the truth and reality of events that occurred ,you can't hate a movie for covering things that took place ,there are bad people on all sides ,you just have to be safe in the knowledge that those people don't reflect on everyone

2023-08-28 23:39:29 +0000 UTCDC cut, how can you not when it's Janes Cameron. But the story makes much more sense in the Director's cut and has better balance. The theatrical cut was just made because of producers thinking we couldn't watch anything longer than two hours. It wasn't done for creative purposes. So in all aspects DC cut is the way to go.

Maybe this is a sign I need to upgrade my patronage, though that just might make me more frustrated when my choices would be voted down and I will come to realize that my taste is considered weird and dated by the majority - oh well....it's about Cassie after all. In any case Kindergarten Cop probably is the best of the Governator's comedies (though I'm one of the weirdos who actually saw and liked Last Action Hero,) I do have to register my extreme disapproval of Red Dawn, but since you are going to seeing that work of rightwing Cold War propaganda whether I like it or not I can suggest a couple of films you can see afterwards to supplement your sampling of the zeitgeist of that era, like WarGames, which I think you would really enjoy (it's a thriller about how a couple of teenage computer hackers try to help the government circumvent a rogue A.I. program from starting WWIII); The Killing Fields, a drama about the darkest period of Cambodia's history - which is related to both Vietnam and the Cold War. It's intense but with its heart in the right place, with incredible acting. And then there's Dr. Strangelove, which treats the kind of macho, Red Dawn-like mentality that has brought humanity to the brink of extinction with the level of respect it deserves.

2023-08-28 22:15:51 +0000 UTCFor another great Steve Martin movie, check out My Blue Heaven, co-starring Rick Moranis and Joan Cusack. It is a comedy about a mobster put into witness protection.

2023-08-28 21:57:51 +0000 UTCSpecial Edition has my vote. It felt like a fuller more meaningful film.
ROBERT CLARK
2023-08-28 21:56:20 +0000 UTCOMG Platoon, my favorite Viet Nam movie, I just got out of the army when this movie came out. the director, the writers and the actors got it right. some scenes will be disturbing but that's how it was. no revisionist history here.

2023-08-28 21:55:33 +0000 UTCI'm wondering if she'll watch the theatrical cut or the extended director's cut. Personally I prefer the director's cut, even though I grew up with the theatrical, but I know some people prefer the theatrical version.

2023-08-28 21:54:01 +0000 UTCDefinite Yes for Varsity Blues and Any Given Sunday!
Zane From Canada
2023-08-28 21:52:03 +0000 UTCI'm in the minority. I only ever saw the director's cut. Similar to Justice League: I only ever saw The Snyder Cut.

2023-08-28 21:50:26 +0000 UTCKeep the meme alive!
Matt Rose
2023-08-28 21:49:35 +0000 UTCTHIRTEEN DAYS is fantastic.
Matt Rose
2023-08-28 21:49:04 +0000 UTCthat'd be a contender for sure.
Matt Rose
2023-08-28 21:48:47 +0000 UTCSpecial Edition all the way. The theatrical is good but the ending is severely lacking the context to make the entire film gel. The Special Edition version is arguably Cameron's best film, in my personal opinion.
Matt Rose
2023-08-28 21:48:11 +0000 UTCSuggestions Varsity Blues (1999) Any Given Sunday (1999) Gridiron Gang (2006) The Longest Yard (1974) - please not the 2005 remake with Adam Sandler. The Waterboy (1998) North Dallas Forty (1979)

2023-08-28 21:40:58 +0000 UTCIt Happened One Night is sure to win that poll.
Zane From Canada
2023-08-28 21:38:44 +0000 UTCTheatrical, I hope. The director's cut is very disjointed. But I'm thrilled we finally get The Abyss.
Cliff Endicott
2023-08-28 21:36:50 +0000 UTCI’d say the theatrical since that’s what everybody has seen. She might as well watch the one that everybody fell in love with.

2023-08-28 21:35:45 +0000 UTCHell yes! I swear I have suggested this like 30 times
Michael Lynch
2023-08-28 21:34:25 +0000 UTCDon't forget Lukas Moodysson. He made the best coming-of-age movie ever. Fcuking Åmål aka Show me love. And "The girl trilogy" is also good. Trollhunter, The king's choise and The wave from Norway. Flickering lights and The hunt from Denmark. And and and.. ... 🤪😜😅
Björn Karlsson
2023-08-28 21:34:22 +0000 UTCThe program is a pretty cool football movie. LATTIMER!

2023-08-28 21:33:51 +0000 UTCAnybody want to chime in on the Abyss - theatrical vs directors cut
John Drake
2023-08-28 21:33:37 +0000 UTCThe Waterboy! 😁
Zane From Canada
2023-08-28 21:32:45 +0000 UTCOh my God! THE ABYSS!!! I am so excited. I’ve mentioned this movie so many times, and I wasn’t sure it was ever going to happen. This is one of my favorite movies. Let’s see how many people you recognize. It’ll be good to see Viggo Mortensen again lol.

2023-08-28 21:28:13 +0000 UTCIn the meantime the best option (if possible) would be to download the reaction via the download link!
Cassie
2023-08-28 21:27:17 +0000 UTCBut, yeah, I do have a list of foreign films I wish she'd do reactions to. A little Fellini, a little Herzog and don't forget Bergman.
Jeffrey Schmidbauer
2023-08-28 21:25:25 +0000 UTCTotally off topic, but I’m hoping Grumpy Old Men and its sequel get seen at some point. Since the debates are going on, how about another Presidential poll. I’d nominate either My Fellow Americans or Thirteen Days.
Andrew Hogan
2023-08-28 21:24:47 +0000 UTCI believe Silver Linings Playbook could qualify under football movie😊

Dave
2023-08-28 21:22:22 +0000 UTCOf course. Cassie has no problems with subtitles 😀
Björn Karlsson
2023-08-28 21:20:19 +0000 UTCThat stinks. I wish I had helpful advice. Good luck!
JC762
2023-08-28 21:19:25 +0000 UTCWith English subtitles, of course. Otherwise, Cassie will just have a blank look.
Jeffrey Schmidbauer
2023-08-28 21:19:05 +0000 UTCWhat time is the live watch along?

Björn Karlsson
2023-08-28 21:16:09 +0000 UTCYouTube can sometimes, unfortunately, place ads on videos even if the creator isn't partnered. If you're not yet subscribed to the channel that the watchalongs go on, please do so because it's possible that if they get the channel partnered, this can be sorted.

Robin Craft
2023-08-28 21:15:15 +0000 UTCPoll suggestion: Classic Screwball Comedies.
Matt Rose
2023-08-28 21:15:05 +0000 UTCCold plunges are much more tolerable in a beautiful mountain lake over a freezer filled with water and ice cubes. 😂 I've been doing some cold plunges with a friend of mine at a lake near our town. Though we might only be able to make it to the end of Sept now before the water and air gets too cold. I had a good chuckle at the videos you shared.
kaiielle
2023-08-28 21:14:53 +0000 UTCStarted cold showers after seeing Cassie rocking that ice bath like BOSS!
Uncle Phoenix
2023-08-28 21:14:25 +0000 UTCyes! What would you want to see on the poll?
Cassie
2023-08-28 21:14:09 +0000 UTCI know! WE ARE SO BUGGED and have tried everything, apparently youtube can, even on unlisted videos which is DUMB! We are looking into alternatives, but then we have to transfer our whole library AGAIN !! (mad face)
Cassie
2023-08-28 21:13:57 +0000 UTCOoh. The Abyss!
Wes
2023-08-28 21:13:24 +0000 UTCAny chance of doing a football movie poll since football season is on the horizon? 🏈
Tim Raths
2023-08-28 21:11:45 +0000 UTCI don’t know if this has been brought up in other places already but I’ve noticed the last few full reactions on Patreon Exclusive channel in YouTube are now interrupted with ads, which has never been the case before and it’s kind of a pain. Is that fixable or is this the new normal?
JC762
2023-08-28 21:11:38 +0000 UTCFirst!
Jeffrey Schmidbauer
2023-08-28 21:11:20 +0000 UTCPerhaps a non-english from Europe poll? 😉😁 lots of genres represented in that 😉😄
