Next week we'll begin posting our "Best of 2016" lists, so let's use this last day of the year to talk about all the ways that 2017 is going to be great. The only way we're going to get through this is by thinking good thoughts and having each other's backs.
Thank you all for being here. Thank you all for being the best. We love you. Happy New Year.
The first rule about Fthismovie is "Don't talk about Fthismovie!". But as I look around it obvious people been talking
ReplyDeleteWith all the negative stuff this year this community has still remained positive and friendly and has kept growing, next year I am genuinely scared of what will actually happen once DT takes control, as a Brit and you guys are the only Americans I really chat with and are all intelligent I still don't really understand how it happened? It felt like a joke watching from afar, now it does actually feel like an episode of Black Mirror!
No matter what happens 2017 is the year I get my dream, my 4 disc bluray of Xtro! They can't take that away from me
Happy new year everyone!
We're not that awesome over here. Unlike Xtro.
DeleteThank you to all the F This Movie! Crew, this year has sucked BUT as long as we learn and smile and look out for each other we CAN do 2017 well... This site and the podcasts have helped me through some bleak times, keep up the great work and a BIG HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all!!

ReplyDeleteI'm torn on my feelings for this year. I suppose it's just that I'm on board with the idea that it's been pretty miserable for the general public, but it's also been the year that my sister got married and then a short time later I became an uncle for the first time, so that's pretty cool. :)
ReplyDeleteBut at any rate, happy new year, everyone! Here's hoping your 2017 kicks dick!
Happy New Year, everyone! Thank you for being the best film fans on the internet!
ReplyDeleteKeep doing what you're doing the way you're doing it.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to each and every podcast.
Happy New Year
New year means another F This Movie Fest to look forward to. I'm still in if you guys still are.
ReplyDeleteDespite negative events, any time with friends like these is time that has prospered.
ReplyDeleteHere's to new years and better things,
All spent with friends like these.
New Twin Peaks in 2017, that's about all I need to be super excited for the coming year.
ReplyDeleteI hope all of you wonderful people have a great New Years Eve!
Please God, let 2017 be better than 2016. It won't take much to clear that exceedingly low bar, but for some strange reason I've been feeling more cynical lately.
ReplyDeleteOn a brighter note, I saw "Sing" yesterday and enjoyed the heck out of it. Yes it's predictable, yes it's corny, but when an animated pig voiced by Reese Witherspoon launched into "Shake It Off" I smiled more than I have in many, many months. Also, respect to any film that uses "Golden Slumbers."
Happy New Year, you guys rule and make my work days immensely more tolerable!!
ReplyDeleteSomeone give the CGI Peter Cushing a wooden stake and a mallet....this year needs to be put down like a rabid dog.
ReplyDeleteHere's to better times in the near future for all of us. <3
I'm planning on watching Cloud Atlas or maybe The Warriors then wandering the NYC streets with a couple buddies and Chinatown sparklers and drinking booze from coffee cups.
ReplyDeleteAnybody else got fun plans?
My first piece of tiramisu in many years because 2016.
DeleteTiramisu is da bomb
DeleteYo, Deepwater Horizon is crazy intense!!
ReplyDeleteNot gonna make it but 9 away from 5500 lifetime. Down year movie watching for me which I think is good considering what I got done this past year.
ReplyDeleteYou've been counting since your first movie? Canadians really are better people.
DeleteHaha, nah, I started a checklist a few years ago so I'm sure I'm missing or forgetting a few. No idea what the Canadian comment means.
DeleteSeriously, no shade intended. Pretty much every Canadian I've ever met has been the nicest/sincerest person (except for maybe Hawaiians) I've had the pleasure of meeting. I literally thought you had started a list as a child. Wasn't joking and wouldn't be surprised, our northern brothers/sisters truly rock! Happy New Year!
DeleteNah man, I wasn't offended at all! Cause I'm not Canadian! Haha Happy New Year!
DeleteNo shit??? What kind of coolness you running?
DeleteI'm from Northern VA, right outside of Wash. DC, brotha.
DeleteI love that you thought I was though :) Canada is a beautiful place and wish to visit there one day.
DeleteFucking A! My sister got her masters from John Hopkins! US is already looking up in 2017. I'll grab a wave for my east coast fam today...then of course some movies.
DeleteHang ten my man, haha!
DeleteCongrats on the years accomplishments! I also grew a 1/2 in, on my waist, plus I'm angling for a couple new toilets this years (totally not joking). Where can i buy a copy of your new album? Sticking with the water theme so going Deepwater Horizon based on your comment. Thinking it'll be slightly less spiritual but a fun time none the less. Would have watched it sooner if it was called "Atlantic is Falling".
DeleteSeriously, Deepwater Horizon is crazy, exploding in your face, intense. I really liked it. Thanks for the interest in the new record! The press is going to start this month for pre-orders so the record isn't out yet (Feb. release) but in the meantime if you follow https://www.facebook.com/brahmofficial/ you'll get all the updates. Lots of surprises coming with the record including videos directed by a genius :)
DeleteI'm super excited for you! I'll buy not only the new release but everything put out by you. I don't want that free download shit, I want to support. Show me the way.
DeleteWow! I'm overwhelmed with the sentiment of support and it's much appreciated man. You can get it direct from the label HERE.
DeleteIf you want CD's You can purchase them on Amazon (Brahm - A Thousand Curves, Built To Be Brought Down and my side projects were Night is Invisible and the Indie band I was in The Out_Circuit.) The new record is going to be limited 300 vinyl!
Done. Congrats man.
DeleteThanks, Cullen! Honestly super unexpected. In honor of your support I am bypassing my planned film for the night and watching North Shore as I promised a while ago. Will follow up.
DeleteNorth Shore started out super fun but then just kept dragging on. Being a PG movie I was surprised at the whole Strip Club scene in the beginning! I guess not being into surfing I prbably didn't get some of the cameos and references but my best take away from this one is that Nia Peeples has never looked better. My oh my. I'm glad I watched it! Thanks Cullen!
Deletehahaha! Nice. No doubt that was some prime Nia Peebles. If nothing else it moves the needle for 80's completionists!
DeleteEnded up getting ATC, BTBBD and NII on iTunes. They're all loaded up on the phone and I'll dig into them once my daily commute begins again tomorrow :)
Nice! Thanks man!
DeleteSaw Moana today and just LOVED it! Granted I'm totally bias as most of my life has been spent in Hawaii. However, the inclusion of the Polynesian culture in a manner palatable to folks from the mainland is just wonderful. The visualization were truly wonderful. However, the inclusion of Polynesian dance, tattoo, music, connection to the sea, mythology and Island culture were nicely adapted for mainstream. It makes me so very happy. Couldn't have been a better theatrical sendoff to 2016. If not your jam, I hope you found something similar. Happy new year peeps. CHEEHOO! Going forward is going to be alright with people like you in the world.

P.S. From my Ohana, Thanks Maui

I am looking forward to catching this one. Growing up in NZ, Maui was huge part of my childhood. I'm thinking I might have the same bias :)
DeleteCool, so I guess you're Maui Built! I think you'll have some fun. Enjoy :)
DeleteHappy New Year all! Just got off work and checked Amazon Prime for something to watch. The first recommendation it had for me is Gozu from Takashi Miike, so that's what I'm watching.
ReplyDeleteWell that... that really went to some unexpected places. There's a bit of a Lynch vibe to it (not as well constructed though obviously) and while it's a little slow through most of the movie (but with a lot of oddity throughout) it gets pretty far out there by the end and in some fairly uncomfortable ways. It's not going to be leaving my head anytime soon, so I guess for those who have Prime and a bit of patience maybe check it out. I can't promise anybody will like it as much as I did though. Crazy movie to start 2017 with.
DeleteLove Gozu. My 2nd favorite Miike movie!
DeleteIf I had to guess your favorite, I'd go with something like Dead or Alive 2: Tôbôsha rather than any of the obvious choices.
DeleteNice guess. I actually only like DOA 1 not the sequels too much. My fav Miike is Fudoh!
DeleteHappy New Year! Tough year, but the fthismovie experience has only gotten better. Thanks for everything guys. My resolution is to not go out of town during fthismovie fest. I can't miss it again. Xoxo xtro
ReplyDeleteThis might be the first year I am not working for fthismovie fest! I hopefully will be able to watch a couple of movies with the time difference and all!!!
DeleteHappy New Year, everyone! Cheers to the best movie community on the whole internet.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year bud!
DeleteHappy New Year Heath!!
DeleteHappy New Year everyone! 2017 brings us the first new Edgar Wright movie in four years, three Marvel movies that could be great, the sequel to John Wick, new Fast and Furious, LEGO Batman, a new Gore Verbinski R-rated horror movie, Logan, Belko Experiment, a new movie from the Bone Tomahawk guy, new Scorsese, Free Fire, Ghost in the Shell, new Alien, new Blade Runner, new Planet of the Apes, new Nolan, Dark Tower, Annihalation, Rian Johnson's Star Wars, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, Mute...I for one think this will be another good year for movies, if nothing else!
ReplyDeleteLooking back on 2016 is a lot like waking up with a hangover; It's a little bit hazy, and sure, maybe some good times were had, but mainly you just really really want to have a shower and forget the whole thing happened.
ReplyDeleteHere's to a great 2017 and all the best to the whole F This Movie community.
Very useful info, thanks
