Wow Dream Child might have the only decent dad in the entire series. The lovely and alcoholic parents in the first one were some of my favorite parts.

it was funny when I found out the beautiful pageant girl from NOES5 was in Twin Peaks but I couldn’t puzzle out where or when—it’s because she was the actress on Invitation to Love

Fate Accomplice posted:I was walking downtown in Austin getting ready for formula 1 this weekend when I see Texas Chainsaw Massacre playing at the paramount theatre. fun postscript to this, the next day I messaged a girl I'd recently matched with on a dating app to tell her about my good fortune and she said: "enjoying a movie like that is a serious red flag. I don't want to meet you anymore." it's too bad cause otherwise she seemed cool and thus far was the first dating prospect I'd had who was wiki-worthy, but judging someone on the art the enjoy is enough of a red flag for me that it's for the best.

are we just completely disregarding the idea that the art you enjoy and media you consume also leaks back into you to some degree? Yeah I'd be totally chill about dating someone whose favorite films were like, I Stand Alone, Irreversible, and Man Bites Dog, lmao

so like, if your favorite films demonstrate comfort with like...graphic rape or horror that involves sexual assault, that says nothing about you as a human being? I'm not saying it's an absolute truth, but it's enough of a probability when you're like, let's say, trying to date a white dude or something.

Doltos posted:I can fix Asami quote:Time seemed to be flying by at many times its normal speed, and then again it seemed to have stopped completely. She slid her hand inside his shirt and explored the skin of his chest with plaintive, quivering fingertips, like a blind person reading a long-awaited letter. Her touch was like a gleaming scalpel slicing open his breast, and then again like the miraculous, gentle touch of a healer. He couldn’t distinguish the border between his body and the outside world and was aware only of the points where her fingertips touched his skin, and of the hitherto unimaginable sensations emanating from those points. Her fingertips were like ice, and then again like molten lava. He found himself standing between the two beds with his sweater in his hands but no memory of having stood up or removed it. His shirt was completely unbuttoned, exposing his chest and stomach. Yamasaki Asami undid his belt, then plucked gently at his zip and slowly pulled it down, like a surgeon opening an incision.

Some girl was very forcefully making out with me once and I was not exactly ok with it and voiced my hesitancy but she wasn't really hearing it, so I was letting it ride for a bit until she told me Adam Sandler comedies were her favorite movies and I shut that poo poo down fast

Toni Collette is absolutely capable of subtlety as well but those scenes in Hereditary are absolutely not asking for it. She is going through some pretty loving horrific stuff in that movie such that it's hard to call anything an overreaction

Dream Child was fine. Yeah it was kinda boring at times but it had some decent scenes, some silly fun, just needed to get cut down. Freddy on a skateboard in a comic book put a smile on my face. I liked the kid becoming dream Punisher, characters trying to use dream logic against Freddy is always fun. Definitely one of the lesser NOES though yeah. I feel like NOES as a series at least lends itself to some extra creativity what with the idea of dream sequences, and even when that isn't executed they still at least have some interesting/fun practical effects. Like it all interests me more than any of the Guy With a Knife series (but tbf I haven't watched much of those). Even in Dream Child, the kid's death as a comic book character is more verve and creativity than I might expect watching some random horror movie. Put "FASTER THAN A BASTARD MANIAC! MORE POWERFUL THAN A LOCO MADMAN!" on my tombstone.

Speaking of people who get off on torture...WHY BONER NOW posted:Someone on the forums linked to a youtuber going to McKamey manor, which turned into an ongoing series. Interesting if you can stomach the youtuber. long story short, the manor itself is compete bullshit and doesn't actually exist quote:•The original Manor in California was originally a regular-rear end haunted house attraction, until Russ McKamey decided to go the extreme route for attention. But Russ and his staff repeatedly went way too far; brutally injured and abused customers, ignored safe words, violated all sorts of safety regulations and health codes. The haunt community hates him, even the extreme haunt crowd. He avoided charges because waivers included gag orders & lawsuit threats, and he used his online cult following to discredit, doxx, and threaten anyone who said negative things. All of his staff left him, and his wife divorced him but kept most of the props since she paid for them. They're currently deciding what to do with the footage, but several people have copies now. I'm sure there are legal hurdles, especially if victims don't want to be named, but they may just be able to send a copy to the police. Bonk fucked around with this message at 21:36 on Oct 22, 2023 |

What's annoying is that I think Doltos is near to a reasonable point. Porbably the major thing I don't like about Hereditary and Misommar is how they try to steamroller you with grief. The very emotive performances are certainly a part of that thing which I didn't like, but that doesn't mean they're in any way bad performances.

People don't do *quite* as much screaming in real life as they do in horror movies, but it would be immersion-breaking if someone in a movie reacted in a less visible/instantly recognizable way. Weirdly, a more diverse and realistic presentation of people reacting to pain/shock/fear etc would probably come off as 'fake' because it would seem so different from what cinema has trained us to expect. Being slightly less realistic is a lesser sin compared to taking the audience out of the story.
