Up karma karma karma khameleon-ing
Added 2023-06-22 01:51:03 +0000 UTC
I wrote this all up yesterday and forgot to send post, sorry to keep you in the dark this week a bit! Camp took it out of me for days, it ended up being a good experience but cooking for 20 and trying to entertain teenagers ended up feeling like a solid month in the wilderness (not dramatic at all I know)
Welcome to the Thunderdome baby! Disaster Days have arrived!
Ok is it wrong to be so excited about disaster movies right? You know I love a theme! Carly joined me for Deep Impact (thats what she said) SORRY EW! and im crossing my fingers she can watch Dantes Peak with me too!
We have a Ben Birthday Bash Poll going on right now, its CLOSE so make sure to cast your vote!
In other news I'm on a reading streak....mostly chick-flick-a books but they are nice to fall asleep to, let me know if you want some reccs ;) I want to take Ben to the movies for his birthday this week, but it needs to be something I wouldn't watch for the channel-any suggetions? I'm also knee deep in a princess party planning (not ben's birthday) so don't be surprised if I'm covered in glitter during reactions!
LAST THING! The Top Tier LIVE will be a watch-along this month. I'm going to give you a clue with the emojis of what the movie will be
Ok sorry again for the late update, see you at the movies!!

2023-06-27 21:45:24 +0000 UTCGo to "The Edge" building it's quite impressive with no long lines. This might be better than going to the Empire State Observation deck I would go to "The Edge" building it's quite impressive with no long lines. Also, you can go to the "Highline" walk path. https://www.thehighline.org A more centralized water experience is to take the NYC water Taxi. It's like $2.50 and it takes you all over the city. Rockefeller Center is where the X-mas tree gets lit and it's amazing year-round. Near to that is the Apple store as well as 5th Ave Shopping. Also go into Saks 5th Ave store, the displays alone are amazing. You can also go to Macy's but that might be a bit overwhelming since it's 7 floors and maybe 100 mini stores inside (you'll see when you go in) There is a floating garden known as "Little Island" on Manhattan's West side of Manhattan. Little Island, the brand-new public playground off West 14th Street, on 11th Ave in the Hudson River

2023-06-27 14:47:05 +0000 UTCStarting a NYC Suggestions thread. For the tourists: 1. Looking up = sure sign you are a tourist. 2. Take cabs when it is too far to walk. 3. For a nice dinner - The River Cafe in Brooklyn (looking out at Manhattan from the east) or Ruth's Chris in Weehawken, NJ (looking out on Manhattan from the west - take a water taxi from near the Javits Center). 4. The Staten Island Ferry is NYC's #1 Cheap Date (free - both directions) - weather permitting. 5. The 9-11 Memorial still packs a punch. For the movies: 1. The Yankee Stadium that Kevin Costner pitched in has been torn down (RIP), but the new stadium is still Baseball's Cathedral. 2. Plenty of Chinese restaurants with the take-out boxes you crave. 3. The observation deck at the Empire State Building - b/c Sleepless in Seattle/King Kong/Independence Day/Elf (for the interior).

David Forbes
2023-06-25 09:04:34 +0000 UTCCan't answer that well without spoilers, but I try. The line delivery of some actors is pretty weak. Not sure if the casting works. The pacing is a little off. It's questionable if this story should be told as a movie at all. That said, I like it. Somehow, if a movie has an awesome looking sea and a few men who like their boat, it has allready won my heart. Boat kino works just so well for me.

Richard Maurer
2023-06-23 16:57:17 +0000 UTCI don't think so
Bill W
2023-06-23 15:44:31 +0000 UTCApparently it's Romancing the Stone, since you asked. I'm not taking credit for figuring it out though that was someone else. I'm always the guy who sees a emoji puzzle and says "yeah, I'll let someone else get that".
Richard Maurer
2023-06-23 14:10:15 +0000 UTCIt's a crazy universe, my kind of universe. Anyway monsters could technically be considered disasters, couldn't they?

2023-06-23 02:34:13 +0000 UTCIn yet another universe Pretzels in the Hammock is having a Christopher Lee Hammer horror week with Curse of Frankenstein, Horror of Dracula, and The Mummy. I am now desperately trying to get to that universe.
Richard Maurer
2023-06-23 02:20:48 +0000 UTCYes, it's so boring I could only get through it 5 times.
Richard Maurer
2023-06-23 02:09:53 +0000 UTCMike Lemon It's a mashup of Dante's Peak and Towering Inferno! =D Dante's Inferno should go on her reading list.

Bill W
2023-06-23 01:49:19 +0000 UTCDante's Peak. Dante's Inferno is a very different movie. It would make for an interesting reaction though.
Mike Lemon
2023-06-23 01:34:39 +0000 UTCYes! It will be available to everyone just like normal!
Cassie
2023-06-23 01:01:20 +0000 UTCWill the top tier watchalongs (of movies not yet seen) be available at the salt tier at a later stage? As a full reaction I mean.

2023-06-23 00:46:40 +0000 UTCCassie, Cassie, & Carly (?) If you are indeed doing Romance in the Stone please refrain from chatting with each other during the opening scenes the first 7 minutes set the tone for the whole movie. They are a must-see to understand what's going on. Loved deep impact. Can't wait for the rest of the week of disasters!
R Harper
2023-06-23 00:13:02 +0000 UTCI never knew the thing you throw in Curling was a Stone. I knew it was something heavy and smooth, but that was it. Never thought any further. Learn Something New Everyday. Thanks Cassie.
Larry Darrell
2023-06-23 00:02:13 +0000 UTCHard disagree on that one. They were only slightly less boring than Moby Dick.
Mike Lemon
2023-06-22 23:55:11 +0000 UTCThe 'Deep Impact' and Dante's Inferno' films are fine disaster movies. For me, disaster movies are not meant to tell challenging and thoughtful stories, or develop deeply-grounded characters. No... disaster movies are best devised as visual-emotions rollercoasters to create excitement... suspense... kinda like horror movies. However, as is often the case in these polls, one or two movies will be included, but are rarely selected in the voting, as voters prefer excitement to depth and challenge. Here we have the great fortune of Cassie opting to react to the movie that came third- 'The Perfect Storm.' Thank you, Cassie! Please enjoy this exceptionally written, brilliantly preformed 'true story' classic film. It's brilliant! And I hope you'll agree that it's more than just a disaster move.
Terry Yelmene
2023-06-22 23:03:00 +0000 UTCShe said movies she wouldn't watch for the channel, not movies she shouldn't watch under any circumstances.
Richard Maurer
2023-06-22 22:58:10 +0000 UTCTake him to see. Asteroid City. Between Mercy and me, or Last Castle in the Mirror. These look like good movies that wouldn't be popular enough to make the channel. Or you can see Transformers: Rise of the Beast for good action fun.

2023-06-22 19:11:10 +0000 UTCI'll be waiting on that Romancing the Stone reaction.

Burrito Jimmy
2023-06-22 15:13:04 +0000 UTCNo one should watch F & F or Transformer movies beyond the first ones, and then with the caveat that they're dumb fun not to be taken seriously, The rest of both franchises (that I've seen, taking other people's words that they don't get better) are just money grabs with increasingly ridiculous plots.
Richard Maurer
2023-06-22 15:10:55 +0000 UTCNot my cup of tea, but have fun.
Richard Maurer
2023-06-22 15:04:10 +0000 UTCVolcano is even more cheesy than Armageddon, and that's saying a lot.
Richard Maurer
2023-06-22 15:02:33 +0000 UTCMad Max is way underrated. While most people seem to get their 80's nostalgia kicks from the big budget Hollywood fare, I get nostalgic over the low budget independent movie scene of the 80's, of which Mad Max was one of the originators. I like Mad Max just as much as The Road Warrior, maybe even a little more.
Richard Maurer
2023-06-22 14:58:57 +0000 UTCI watched the original series on Jen's channel,she came back for a 2nd vote for another 6 episodes and gained a good number of subs and a lot of respect from me,"boldly go where no one has gone before! "

2023-06-22 13:31:51 +0000 UTCLove Deep Impact, Love Dante's Peak, Hate Perfect Storm. For War Movie Wednesday, Gene Hackman in Bat21 is an under rated treasure!

christopher b swanson
2023-06-22 05:12:59 +0000 UTCI concur. The Road Warrior is one of the best action movies of all time. She can skip Mad Max if she chooses
Bill Maurer
2023-06-22 04:54:08 +0000 UTCI'd love some romance recommendations from you Cassie! 😊 I have finally found my reading groove again, my reading comes in BIG WAVES, I'll read every day for a few months and then not pick up a book again for a year. It's a bit frustrating LOL. I finally finished the Sarah J Maas series: A Court of Thorns and Roses. Would very much recommend if you are into fantasy and lots of smut. 😂 I'm about to start reading the Ahsoka novel and then will move on to finally finishing the A Song of Ice and Fire books (Game of Thrones). I read the first book a few years back, started reading the second, then fell off my reading wave. I also have The Expanse books to finish as well. Sigh. Just like movies to watch, there are too many books to read! Hope you enjoy your movie time with Ben!

2023-06-22 04:08:48 +0000 UTCMovie you should take Ben to: I’ve heard good things about You Hurt My Feelings, a comedy about a married couple starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus that doesn’t sound anything like what you tend to watch on this channel.

2023-06-22 02:45:01 +0000 UTCOnly good movie this week you likely wouldn't watch for the channel is probably Past Lives, but it's mostly a love story so don't know if it would be his jam or not. Great movie, though!

Celeste McAllister
2023-06-22 02:16:19 +0000 UTCBack in 1988, I named my Blue Merle Collie puppy Max, and his AKC name was Blue Ridge Raggedy Man; I bought him from a breeder in the Blue Ridge mountains of NC. I had Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome on Laserdisc, and I watched the absolute hell out of that movie. If you want to see what Max looked like, and why I gave him that name, just to go my Facebook page, Photos, Albums, and look for Max the Blue Merle Collie. If you have seen Max Max Beyond Thunderdome, hopefully his name will make perfect sense to you. “Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls... Dying time's here.”
Gary David Holbrook
2023-06-22 02:15:41 +0000 UTCI would argue for the order most American's over 35ish saw them- Road Warrior, Thunderdome, then Mad Max (Australian version, stay away from the awful American dub).

2023-06-22 02:09:06 +0000 UTCPerfect Strom is a great movie, probably one of Geroge Clooney's best along with a young Mark Walhberg supporting him.

Kuskesh Haramzadeh
2023-06-22 02:05:48 +0000 UTCBill, while Mad Max isnt quite as good - it gives his background for WHO he is and what his back ground is,... and it is a classic still,... The Road Warrior is the standard for this series, by far,.... so I can definitely understand why you would want to start there instead of Mad Max.
ENC SW DV Rush
2023-06-22 02:05:45 +0000 UTCDEEP IMPACT and ARMEGEDDON (1998) are basically two movies at about the same time, same basic premise, VERY different directors. Armegeddon is a wild ride, starring Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck, Liv Taylor, Owen Wilson, Billy Bob Thorton, and several more you will recognize. It is over the top action vs. DEEP IMPACT which tries to be more realistic.
Richard Bourne

2023-06-22 01:58:56 +0000 UTCFor good movies in theaters right now that you're probably unlikely to watch in theaters, I'd check out Sanctuary, The Machine and The Blackening. Also, I hear Past Lives is great, but I haven't had a chance to see it yet. The smaller movies move out of the cinemas so fast these days...
Stranger2Reality
2023-06-22 01:58:49 +0000 UTCSounds like you could have made your own disaster or horror movie in the wilderness! “How can a Youtuber reactor survive 20 teenagers on a wilderness camping trip!” I’d pay to see that one! Speaking of Disaster Days, save me a seat on the front row! I’m going to love this week!
