So the title might seem a little strange until I explain! 🀣

I've been gifted soooooo many DVD's that my only option was to store them under my bed. They are nicely (and safely) tucked away under my mattrass where nobody can tamper with them. And when I say nobody I mean the kids πŸ˜… and when I say tamper I mean move them out of alphabetical order 😑

Anyhoo! I was thinking we should have a poll every month to watch the movies hiding under the bed. Hence 'Under the Bed Poll'

For the first one I've chosen 8 movies completely at random but for the future UTB polls I'll use the same random generator I use for the monthly Patron Pick after I get them all added to a spreadsheet 😏

Voting ends Thursday night (25th April)!

You know what 'ol Jack Burton says on a dark and stormy night....

Am I the only geezer who remembers Big Trouble flopping in 80's theaters, because it was a flailing incoherent mess with mainstream audiences who weren't yet geek enough to have heard of A Chinese Ghost Story? (Like, someone else who might fit that description?)

I do remember it getting critically panned for the most part at the time but wasn't aware it was a box-office flop. The "yet" in your comment was funny. There are "mainstreamers" who transition to "geekdom"?? I thought we were all born this way!! πŸ˜„
