People who knew Armstrong said the depiction was more or less made up out of whole cloth and that he wasn’t an unfeeling automaton like the movie depicts. Also it was weird that the movie aimed for an aesthetic of hyper-realistic immersion but blatantly fudged stuff to make it seem cooler. The new movie looks like he’s doing a David O Russell impression, yikes Jewmanji fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Sep 13, 2022 |

I don't think he's unfeeling, I took away from it that the whole point is that he's singularly focused and driven in what is a rather absurd situation. Armstrong himself was a pragmatic and gutsy person, the fly-by-wire nature of some of the poo poo he was doing on pure instinct and understanding of mathematical principles or engineering is just insane stuff, like he's a very un-normal person but not a showboat at all. Probably a hard thing to depict. I think the film really works to demonstrate a sense of how cold and alienating space exploration is, especially with the brute force nature of 50s-60s cold war mechanisms, and how weird it is that we spend so much money to send people up there in order for us to come to the rather normal realization that this planet is all we have. The juxtaposition of the Gil Scott-Heron poem in that one scene comes to mind. Shageletic posted:The biopic movie is the one that seemed middling to me. Anything in particular that made it get out of the mediocre biopic ghetto? Incredible sound design, score, and sense of visual texture. And great production design. Also, it's one of the only aero-space films I can think of that doesn't feel super nationalistic or ideologically loaded. BeanpolePeckerwood fucked around with this message at 22:56 on Sep 13, 2022 |

The juxtaposition of the Gil Scott-Heron poem in that one scene comes to mind. I agree with all of this. Also its almost a nihilistic look at the drive these fellas had. They are all living in a solitary suburban neighborhood with one another and each of them keep dying and they just show their crying wives and this dull drive of the others to press on. Its very dark and creepy, and an interesting look at it. Also the SOUND DESIGN

I highly recommend this video on the programming of the apollo guidance computer and the importance of the infamous 1202 alarm. It does a great job of showing how Armstrong, heroic as he was, has been inflated by the narrative that he basically did the Death Star trench run when in reality there was an incredible amount of innovation behind the scenes to make his life much much easier than the films often depict. I promise this boring-sounding lecture is worth everyone's time, it is riveting.

As fun as it probably will be to watch Margot Robbie do another variation on Faye Dunaway's performance in Bonnie and Clyde it's starting to feel like it's the only the note she cares to play

True, but I think that's fine. Range isn't the only criterion to evaluate an actor by. Some just excel at a certain type. When's the last time Brad Pitt attempted anything other than cocky and self-assured? Still charismatic as hell every time. Margo kinda does the same thing but as a woman. (I guess the answer to my rhetorical question is Ad Astra which was very enjoyable, but you get the point).

Chazelle rules. All 3 films are good stuff so far, and this one looks like a lot of fun. Also like how he has constant collaboration with same composer.

It's also the only one that's really connected to the first one. I'd still recommend it with the caveat that the first half isn't too involving. Trailer looks like it's pulling some stuff from the second film as well.

Yeah, the first Hellraiser is definitely worth a watch if you're into freaky bloody horror poo poo. It gets hosed up, but in a good way. I don't remember much about the rest of them, but I know once your horror series has gone to space, reboot is basically your only option left, so I'll probably check this out.

The second film is a good-faith attempt to capture the spirit of the original which I find succeeds and fails in equal measure. The third turns Pinhead into 90s Freddy Krueger. If you're ok with that it's perfectly acceptable popcorn entertainment. The rest are mostly ok examples of super low budget horror. Some interesting concepts, none of which could be described as good but it's only the most recent two (Revelations and Judgement) that are objectively garbage.

I'm surprised I've never seen someone edit the first two movies together into one single film (which I would totally watch because they're both equally good).

This is a good description. I liked the ideas behind the two that kind of took a Silent Hill type turn, (inferno and hellseeker) but the execution left a lot to be desired. 1 and 2 are good, inferno and hellseeker are eh, and the other ones I'd probably skip.

Prince of Darkness was creepy AF even watching it on VHS with a friend. I was only sad that there's a transition from night to daybreak right at the peak which really breaks the tension. If the storyline had played out before sunrise hits I'd have been creeped out until the end but even as a kid I wondered why JC made such a baffling choice that whiffs the ending. Uh, spoiler tagging a 35 year old movie as we're currently recommending it to someone who maybe hasn't seen it.

Yesssssss! This is based on the book "The Cabin at the End of the World" and I loving loved it. It was one of those books that got the rights purchased but I just assumed would never get made. Kind of excited to see Shyamalan take it on. Hopefully he does a bit better with rails. But it's definitely material made for him.

I feel like they should have left anything about the apocalypse out of the trailer if possible and just leave it to the imagination what they've been called upon to do and why, just that the family has to make a horrible decision for ~reasons~. But maybe that didn't test well and they're fighting against people rolling their eyes at any M Night twist.

Yeah I feel like if you leave that out then it just feels like generic home invasion-y stuff which it definitely is not. Gotta let the audience know it's something else. Also (book spoilers) it's introduced pretty early on in the book so it's not a big twist... also the book has a grim as gently caress ending which I wonder if they'll keep.

Cabin in the woods is the first one to come to mind, but hasn't the "Sacrifice to prevent the end of the world" been relatively common in horror lately?
