Good Lord. I came back to this book with the new film approaching rapidly and I couldn't put it down (so to speak). Weber nailed the narration and the story is every bit as frightening and evocative as it was when I was younger. This is Stephen King at his finest, and definitely one that you should just experience for yourself. Whether you've read it on print, seen the 90s TV special, or are seeing the film later this year, picking up this audiobook is still highly recommended.

Fun fact! I grew up in the town they filmed this movie in. The town was pissed when it came out because it was rated R. And no, I was not an extra because they wanted people to wear jackets when it was 100 degrees (F) outside.
Basically, this movie was a stereotypical late 90s teen movie, and was perfect fodder for Not Another Teen Movie. I definitely preferred Chris Evans' whipped cream bikini scene in that movie to the one in Varsity Blues.

Yesterday was the first time I've ever watched this film to completion. Normally, I always catch it with the whole jell-o shaking on the spoon scene. I can definitely see why it was cutting edge at the time, the SFX were pretty good for 1993. The story was interesting, and I definitely think I would have had nightmares had I seen it when it came out in the 90s.
My one thought after watching this...why would you need to follow up this movie with any other films?

Kurt Cobain is at his literal best (1 more)
They play more than just their own music giving the album a diverse sound
This is the ultimate unplugged experience, being challenged only by maybe Alice in Chains. Kurt Cobain is at his literal best. His voice is so powerful throughout the album as he takes on Nirvana classics as well as covers of songs that inspired him, from David Bowie to the Meat Puppets and more. Nirvana Unplugged is essential listening for any rock fan, especially fans of grunge and 90s Alternative.

Ended too soon
Where the big boys come to play
Watching reruns on the WWE network WWE main rival during the Monday night wars when wcw nitro was beating raw every Monday night due to the popularity of the new world order and Hollywood Hulk Hogan but over time it got stale and repetitive and silly due to stars egos eventually wcw was brought up by WWE and no more nitro which was a shame. Still classic 90s wrestling nwo for life
David McK (3425 KP) rated Sharpe's Challenge (2007) in Movies
Dec 10, 2019
2-part TV movie that takes, as it's basis, the earlier-set (India) but later-written of Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series of books.
As the actors have aged somewhat since the 90s, this has to take a few liberties with the plot (and covers several of those earlier books), such as setting this after the Battle of Waterloo instead of in the late 1790s, and by replacing Sergeant Hakeswill with another such like character: unfortunately, as there's no real history between that character and Sharpe, the animosity between the two characters never really sits right.

This brought back memories
Damn. I skated in the 90s and listened to hip hop this was me. Absolutely corker of a film from Jonah Hill, a kid meets a crowd of skaters deemed the wrong crowd but they help him in his transformation from kid to teen but are his heroes delinquent from their own trauma rather than just being cool?
Everything from the soundtrack to the direction is spot on. I loved it.
