I watched "Kiss of the Tarantula" on DVD from Netflix last night,
a shlocky low-budget horror film from 1976. Lousy acting; plot holes
big enough to drive a truck through. Probably made its money from
drive-in showings.

It's about a disturbed young woman with a spider obsession who
wreaks revenge on people who have taunted or otherwise offended her
by killing them in gruesome ways that usually involve hordes of
tarantulas.  Kind of reminiscent of "Carrie" or "The Bad Seed". The
poor actors had to put up with having real live tarantulas crawling
over them during the filming; there was no way they could have done
it convincingly with CGI in the 1970s.

I can't think of many good reasons to watch this.  The only reason
I did was out of curiosity regarding an indirect connection with
Grex, which might occur to you too if you scroll through the acting
credits on IMDb and happen to remember everything that's been said
on Grex for the last 20 years or so. ;-)

Under the Skin (2013)
"A mysterious woman seduces lonely men in the evening hours in 
Scotland. Events lead her to begin a process of self-discovery."

Available on Amazon Prime. It's one of those movies where nothing 
makes sense. Long scenes where nothing happens. A person starring at 
a mirror. The sky. The main character played by Scarlett Johansson 
"The Female" (she has no name) drives around in a van picking up men 
with the criteria that they are alone. She brings them to a house 
with the lure of having sex. She disrobes as they disrobe. As she 
walks in a straight line, the men sink into a black watery abyss. 
When they are under, she walks over them and out the door. What 
happens to the men? Why is she luring them there? Who is she working 
with? WHAT IS SHE? What is the agenda? How long has this been going 
on? I don't want to spoil the end but I will say that none of these 
questions are ever answered. My takeaway: other than seeing 
Johansson completely nude, there are no redeeming qualities 
whatsoever about this film. Two stars. One for the nudity and the 
other for the effort.

I'm new here, I've had an account for a while, but still new to all this. And
BSD. But a recent movie I've seen was Ted 2. If you don't mind crude humor
than you would enjoy this movie. I liked Ted 1 and Ted 2 pretty much follows
that same story. Don't think about what's going on too much, just like a
family guy episode. I wouldn't buy the movie, but if you're looking for a good
laugh I would recommend a rent, or getting it free on Netflix or something.

Nice website, Martino
What do you think of the CISA proposal?  More bad than good?
