Sunday Post 311

I just want to say I really enjoyed everyone sharing their summer memories last week on my Sunday Post. I had reminisced about a favorite memory of mine and had asked what some of your favorite memories were, and so many of you responded. I appreciate you all sharing. And in other news I finally finished Big Little Lies. Amazing, I know.  

The big news this week (for me, anyway) is that I finally wrote a Movies That Suck post. Yes, one is coming this week. However I'm sorry to report that my first choice of movies- The Lost Continent- is sadly unavailable. Or, rather, it's available but super pricy, considering it's out of print basically. But just so you can see what you're missing, here you go. .       
  
\

A shame, right? I mean that is tailor made for Movies That Suck. Never fear, however, if I ever manage to snag a copy of that bad boy I'll be sharing it. Okay, so I had to look elsewhere. And I came up with... Dragonslayer! Yes, that little gem is getting the Movies That Suck treatment this week. Enjoy... or whatever. 

 In other other news I found an awesome short film this week based on Lord of the Rings. Honestly, this is GOOD. I actually found two of these things- the other one is below - and while both are good, this one is phenomenal. Seriously, give it a try.

This is that other short film I was referring to. Seriously, the acting (and the actors, frankly) are on point in this. I thought I'd try a few minutes of it and ended up watching the whole thing!

    Dragonslayer! I saw it at the drive-in with my parents and brother when it came out. I can't believe I remember that . . . Actually what I remember is my little brother flirting with these two teen girls in the truck next to us. My brother was all of 4 or 5 back then. Haha

    I hope you enjoy Wilder Girls. I am curious about that one.

    Beautiful artwork. The first of the raft ones is gorgeous.

    I hope you have a great weekend, Greg!

      Right? Should fun. And that's funny! I remember the drive-in- vaguely.

      I like those too. :) The middle one for me was my fave- something about the sky, it just looked real!

    Haha, I love that there are movies tailored made for your Movies That Suck feature. You're right though, and what a shame the movie is pricey, because that's definitely one I'd love get the MTS treatment. Great art pics this week too, love the gloomy ominous feel of a lot of these.

      I agree- I SO want to review that one. I'm miffed it's like $60 or something used on Amazon. Oh well- I just thought of a few more MTS candidates today, so I think I have some good coming up lol.

    I missed your post last week so one of my favorite summer memories is going to the beach with my extended family, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and being so waterlogged, I could still feel the ocean waves as I tried to go to sleep at night. Lol. Lots of boogey boarding!

    Okay that horse with the faces is TERRIFYING and I am pretty sure Lincoln rode it in S1 or something. Or at least, should have. Also I'm cackling at your Movies That Suck "enjoy... or whatever" bwhahah. Super sad about missing The Lost Continent- I didn't think it could be *that* bad but I literally snorted when I saw the trailer 😂😂😂 The gunshot wound on fire!? I am DYING. I mean, I guess it's obvious why it is no longer in production but WOW they should have done you a solid and let you rewatch this mess. For like, the sake of humanity or something.

    I think I've seen Dragonslayer. I'll have to go look it up, but I'm almost sure. Wondering what you thought of Big Little Lies. Not sure I want to do the 2nd season. Oh, a Lord of the Rings film? I'll have to check that out! :)

    I'm not going to lie, both choices for your Movies that Suck post I've never heard of it. I'll be interested to see your thoughts on Dragonslayer though. And I've still not even watched all of season 1 of Big Little Lies. I just keep getting distracted by other stuff!

    Hihi, seems half of your work for your Movies that Suck post is already done *lol* Your choices are totally new to me, though. Hope you´ll have fun while writing your post.

    I am not sure if I have seen Dragonslayer or not. Sometimes those old movies are really pricey. I wanted my daughter to watch a movie I used to enjoy but didn't want to pay the prices when I actually looked for it. Hope you have a great week!

    I’m one of the few that wasn’t impressed by Big Little Lies (too Americanised for me) so I haven’t bothered with the second season yet. I’ll probably get to it eventually. The Lost Continent sounds vaguely familiar.

    Have a great reading & watching week:)

  28. NicciAugust 18, 2019 at 9:40 AM

    I don't think I've ever heard of Dragonslayer so I'll be sure to stop by and educate myself! :)

    I've yet to watch Big Little Lies... I'm torn as to whether it's something I'm interested in watching because I want to or because everyone is talking about it so part of me feels like I need to.

    I tried watching The Lord of the Rings movies and just couldn't get into them. I don't know what it was about them but I stopped halfway through the first movie. I found it soooo boring. Maybe one day I'll revisit the movies and try again.

    Thanks for the ambient. 🎧

    I will be looking out for what you think of Wilder Girls because it has really been getting mixed reviews. 📚

    Dragonslayer! I love that movie. I saw it in the theater with my college housemate and then took my little sister. It was one of those movies that I would watch every time I saw it was on TV. 🐲

    I will definitely be watching those LotR movie shorts, and the raft images are wonderful. 👍✨

    Have a wonderful week. 🌞

    Too bad about Lost Continents. It does sound perfect but I don't think I'd want to spend some real money on it! The LoTR movie shorts look interesting. I'll have to watch the when I have just a bit more time. Have a great week!

    I'm still waiting to read the book Big Little Lies before watching the series. I know I know...it sounds crazy but I still always like to read the books before watching the movies. Your post reminded me to jump on the bandwagon!

  36. Lindsi August 18, 2019 at 8:27 PM

    I'll definitely be watching The Hunt for Gollum! It's been ages since I read/watched LOTR, so I definitely need to remedy that soon. I haven't watched Big Little Lies, but I've heard it's trippy. Can't wait to read your review for Wilder Girls!! That ending, right??

    Love how you relish movies that suck! I watch very few movies - quite poor really my viewing. I did recently watch something called The Book Club with what I thought would be good actors, but it sucked and I only half watched it!

    I'm definitely going to have to watch those LOTR shorts! I need to find Dragonslayer, that looks like I would enjoy it. I love old fantasy movies, because they are either pretty awesome or so bad it's good.

    I'll have to come back and watch that LotR film later when I have more time (it's short, but not THAT short). I love it when you stumble across a gem like that without ever planning to!
