Donald Sutherland died?! Aww. This was a fabulously disturbing movie.
I liked him in . . . what was the spy movie he was in? Not Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy . . . .
Hang on.

I immediately thought of him in Animal House when I heard he'd passed.

Was he in Animal House?

^^^
"An irreverent story about warring fraternities at an early 1960s college campus, Animal House was almost never made because Universal president Ned Tanen hated the script. When producers Matty Simmons and Ivan Reitman convinced the studio they could make it for a paltry $3 million with Saturday Night Live star John Belushi in the lead, the studio still insisted they get a second big name involved. As it turns out, the film’s young director John Landis had made a fateful friend early in his career while working as a production assistant on the 1970 WWII flick Kelly’s Heroes."
"Said Landis, “Ned Tanen said, ‘If you don’t get me one goddamn movie star, I’m not makin’ the picture.’ So I thought, well, the only movie star I know really well is Donald Sutherland. So I called Donald and I said, ‘I want you to be in Animal House,’ and he said, ‘What’s Animal House?’ I said, ‘It’s a movie for Universal.’ He said, ‘Well that’s MCA, I can’t do that for scale, you gotta pay me.’”
"Sutherland initially asked Universal for $250,000 dollars (a hard no from MCA), then went down to around $50,000 dollars. The studio counter-offered $20,000 plus two percent of the picture’s back-end revenue. The actor had zero interest in becoming a profit participant.
“I told them, ‘No, you need to pay me my daily rate,’” Sutherland explained to Variety in 2014. “So I got $25,000 for the day, when I could have ended up with $14 million.” That final number is sometimes reported as $35,000 to $45,000."
"Fortunately/unfortunately, that small role—little more than an extended cameo—which Sutherland did as a favor to a pal (while also shooting Invasion of the Body Snatchers in San Francisco) wound up being in one of the most successful comedies ever made."

It's been something of an emotionally fraught week.
Normally that means bad sci-fi, but tonight, on recommendation, it's bad slasher.
Phantom of the Mall (circa 1989).
My goal is to sleep tonight, so this may be a terrible mistake.

That was very 80s. And . . . surprisingly unscary.
(Except for the guy with the earring arsonist.
)
It was, however, in no way conducive to sleep.

Running and a weights class. 
There is something oddly satisfying about getting so slicked up with sweat it's difficult to peel off your workout clothes.
I am now drinking my body weight in water.
After which, I will try to tame the couple of acres around the house.

It was cute! The actors were so young! I hardly recognized the ones that went on to become more famous.
I am now wondering if slasher flicks were sorta to the 80s what romcons were to the 90s. (Or was it the aughts?
) Something of the same vibe? Or is that sleep deprivation talking? (Just not sleeping well at the moment.)

Thing I have learned:
If one teases about the possibility of asking for pics.
One may get teased back about the possibility of them being sent.
One guess who backed down in that situation.

That was . . . interesting?
Better than expected special effects. Sort of like a low budget Sharknado.
With prehistoric monsters.
Well, sorta. Pteranodons, but giant octopi, giant alligator, massed spider balls (), giant anacondas, and a few unidentifiable . . . things.

Next up?
The Jurassic Games (2018)
My expectations are not high.
I really need to find another way to relax. I think I'm rotting my brain.

Perhaps you should leave the creature movies on the shelf for a while and go back to good ole' evil humans . . . perhaps
"House on Haunted Hill" (1959" . . . The film is perhaps best known for a promotional gimmick used in the film's original theatrical release called "Emergo."In some theaters that showed the film, exhibitors rigged an elaborate pulley system near the theater screen which allowed a plastic skeleton to be flown over the audience during a corresponding scene late in the film.
