Ooooh yes, and the other way around too. I’ve watched an absolute assload of apparently obscure bullshit, but absolutely never the same obscure bullshit people want me to have seen.
Have you seen Ninja Bachelor Party?
No, have you seen The Big O?
Are you talking about the anime? Because I think any nerdy anime kid in their 30s would have watched that on adult swim.
That’s fair, I am. I never had access to adult swim; I came across it on Netflix when they were first streaming stuff and they got rid of it pretty quickly. Took me forever to track down a copy of it back then, so with nobody I’ve asked knowing what it was, I assumed it was more obscure.
But good to know.
It is a shame it’s fallen through the streaming cracks. I have the DVDs but that requires me plug in something that can play DVDs lol.
Thats not obscure! Its on my plex server right now!
It’s obscure to the people I know; I have no other gauge on these things. But in fairness, that is why I put “apparently obscure” in my original comment :)
It’s on my Plex server as well and has been for a really long time, but that’s not unexpected there :p
Have you seen Swiss Army Man? I'm not saying it's the best performance Daniel Radcliffe ever delivered, but it's definitely a performance.
Yes, actually, that movie was really fun!
If you like fantasy series at all, have you ever seen The Lost Room? It’s got a kind of warehouse 13 vibe to it.
Nah. I haven't watched so many things. Even mainstream stuff people consider a "must watch". Thing is, my brain is like a sieve. Sometimes I only remember I already watched a movie when I'm 60 minutes in.
You should add Miami Connection to your list. Karate rock stars fight against ninja bikers for...reasons, honestly I can't recall the plot, it's just 80s campy greatness.
