Real talk, I have sat down to watch Scanners three times for this challenge, and have fallen asleep at the half-way point each time.

That has been my history with the film for years. I can't not fall asleep to it. It's like cinematic melatonin for me. On Tuesday, I was like "I'm doing it! I'm staying awake! This is exciting! Ha ha, yes!" and then Robert Silverman's character is murdered, I blacked out and woke up to the end credits.

So tonight I'll try once again, from Silverman's death, to watch it to it's conclusion.

I dont think Scanners is very good. Its almost good but its boring due to the lead. Ironside is awesome but it doesn't make up for the rest of it.

The better Scanners is Brian De Palma’s The Fury.

I can’t recognize who also made that connection on Discord, but I share that conclusion.

This makes me want to watch that.

 Death Proof is one of the most underrated Tarantino’s. Right now I put it higher than pulp fiction.

 The closure is that Patrick Bateman is a loon

 I vote for belladonna. I barely watched it but what i saw from the scorpion movie, yikes. That was a garbage 15 mins for me.
