How do you guys plan on celebrating? I'll definitely be watching the first film, and over the coming days the sequels and the show.

I would like to watch some of them though.

I'm off today for the holiday, so I watched the first film this morning. It felt really great watching this for the 25th anniversary. It's actually been a while since I've seen it (probably a year and a half or so), so sitting down to watch it again was like hanging out with old friends for the first time in a while. This is just one of those films that I will always go back to and embrace the way I did as a child. A wonderful cast of oddball characters, excellent creature effects that still hold up perfectly today, and a fantastic sense of 50s monster movie fun with a bit of a modern twist. I love this movie.

I watched Tremors 2 almost immediately afterward, and plan on watching 3 tonight. Not sure if I want to jump into the series first or go straight into 4 after that, though.

I'll be spending the anniversary week writing about Tremors but might try and sneak in a rewatch at the weekend...

It's been a while since I watched that in full.

captbart: Hi, guys. Just an update .... I'm going in for surgery on March 1st. I don't know if folks still check the site as only a few of us still seem to show up except for a few spam posts. I'm thinking of some stuff to add to Burt's Weapons area when I'm done. Feb 25, 2024 11:36:26 GMT -5

captbart: Just an update: surgery was successful. I'm recovering at home - hurting some but finally off of the "GOOD" pain meds and doing OK on Tylenol. One more procedure on the 19th and then I should be OK for a while .... I hope. Mar 9, 2024 10:54:44 GMT -5

project412: Glad to hear that your surgery went well! Wishing you all the best on the 19th! Mar 11, 2024 18:12:25 GMT -5

captbart: Thanks, 412. Getting old (75 in May) can get tough. Docs just told me there was cancer so now I've got more tests and stuff. Mar 11, 2024 19:39:14 GMT -5

project412: Oh god, I am so sorry to hear that. How are you doing? Apr 4, 2024 12:17:58 GMT -5

captbart: 412, stressed, of course, but otherwise OK. Treatment board meets tomorrow and it's either chemo and then surgery or surgery and then chemo. 6 to 9 months of medicine and surgery and feeling weak and poorly. Better than dead but not looking forward to it. Apr 10, 2024 19:07:38 GMT -5

captbart: looks like 3 months of chemo followed by surgery. I'm going to be rather low geared for the next 4 months. Apr 11, 2024 18:13:24 GMT -5

project412: Trying to do my best to keep ahead of those bot/spam threads when I see them, locking them when I notice them pop up. Unfortunately I don't seem to have the mod ability to actually delete the threads, though. May 8, 2024 9:32:59 GMT -5

captbart: 413, yep, taking care of that kind of crap gets old in a hurry. I still check the board, I just wish we had more folks interested in the shows and board. Thanks for still keeping things going. May 9, 2024 12:29:25 GMT -5

oc: Hi guys! Time to time I check the board, but so far, I hadn't looked at the shoutbox, my bad. Fingers crossed for captbart that all goes well! I'm going to be mostly offline till August, but then I'm willing to help keeping bots/spam at bay, if I could. Jul 13, 2024 12:43:26 GMT -5

captbart: Guys, Thanks for the support. I've completed my chemo series - tests show cancer still growing and more doctor appointments tomorrow and friday. 412, I hate that the spam clowns have found us. hope to be posting again soon. Jul 17, 2024 13:11:59 GMT -5

Mr.ELBlanco: Hey guys, sorry I have not been super active lately - I actually temporarily couldn't remember me email password or this one for that matter. captbart I am sorry I just now read through your chemo process going on, I hope everything is going well for you. Oct 24, 2024 22:00:34 GMT -5

project412: Exciting news about Stampede regaining the rights to the original Tremors script! Even if nothing comes of it (though I would LOVE for something to come of it!), it's nice seeing the rights to a piece of the pie back with the original creators! Oct 29, 2024 9:35:29 GMT -5

project412: Hope that Tremors Fest 2 was a fun time, Mr.ElBlanco! Oct 29, 2024 9:35:48 GMT -5

project412: captbart, I continue to wish you all the best with everything going on right now! Oct 29, 2024 9:37:40 GMT -5

oc: Me too, fingers very much crossed. Oct 29, 2024 19:43:23 GMT -5

Mr.ELBlanco: That is exciting news. Currently I would really like to see a limited 8 episode wrap up of the tv show I think. Tremors Fest 2 was a blast! Lots of good memories made. Oct 29, 2024 21:00:58 GMT -5

oc: Congrats to you all there for a POTUS much less inclined to idiotically ban guns. If only we had somebody like that here... Nov 7, 2024 8:31:55 GMT -5

captbart: Folks, I'm between chemo infusions and this series seems to be producing better results. Nov 9, 2024 14:00:26 GMT -5

oc: Hope it would turn to best results soon. Godspeed! Nov 10, 2024 19:50:53 GMT -5
