Slasherfan posted:At the time parents where outraged over a movie showing Santa Claus killing people and protested the movie (Even though it's not really Santa). The movie ended up being pulled from Cinemas after a week even though it was doing well (opened higher then A Nightmare On Elm Street). Oh wow, that's nuts! I hadn't heard about that before. I'll have to watch that video when I get home from work.

The biggest part of the controversy had to do with the TV ads showing the killer in a Santa outfit, basically everything in the murder scenes up until the actual kill, and the fact that they aired during the day when kids could see them. As for the movie itself... I thought I was watching an unrated cut when I first saw it a few years ago. It gets away with a lot of graphic violence, some of which is pretty brutal rather than 'ha ha, Jason skewered those two idiots having sex with a flagpole.' And yes, the second movie is a riot. 'Garbage day' isn't even the funniest thing in it. "Part II" was originally intended as a re-release of the first movie, just with some extra footage thrown in of the killer's brother narrating over everything. At some point in production, they decided to make it it's own separate movie, but with 45 minutes of the first. Robert Denby fucked around with this message at 17:43 on Mar 28, 2012 |

Slasherfan posted:There is a documentary on slasher movies called Going To Pieces and it has news footage of people protesting, I looked around and couldn't find any of the footage online. This is really interesting. I kinda went, 'Eh...' when that one guy was talking about the fact that critics always blast horror movies because 'Horror movies allow people to experience their humanity. Critics don't understand that. The slasher genre is the easiest genre to criticize.' when I personally think it has less to do with critics experiencing their 'humanity' and more with yes, the vast majority of slasher movies are in fact (often disturbingly misogynistic) trash.

You're not kidding, that looks like a drat video game ad. I want to be hopeful about the Total Recall remake but I can't see the guys who gave us Salt and Underworld making anything special. Even if it does have Cranston as Cohaagen and Nighy as Kuato.

The short story only covers the first 15 or so minutes of the film, up to the realization by the doctors that he has the suppressed memories. And it still mentions Mars and explicitly says that his memories were of being a secret agent on Mars.

I don't really think anyone's been complaining about that-- the only complaint I raised was the writers and directors haven't done too much to inspire hope, and other people brought up that if you're going to make Total Recall without Mars, why even bother.

I haven't seen much beyond that Japanese trailer/commercial but I'm more interested in their take on futuristic cities right here on Earth than more Mars stuff. The levitating buildings are a cool idea.

I saw the trailer for the trailer () for Total Recall and I really liked the look of it. I have no clue how good the movie will be, but the sets and costumes looked really nice. I can't think of many actors with less charisma than Colin Farrel though.

I'm just trying to think of movies I've seen him in and all I can think of are a bunch of early-mid 2000's movies like Alexander, SWAT, and Daredevil and they were all awful. I'll add In Bruges to my que!

I think he's pretty great in Fright Night actually, he plays up the sexual predator angle of that character quite a bit. So it's a shame the last 3rd of it basically has him playing the Boogeyman.

Were they offended?

Prior to seeing Fright Night I wouldn't have believed it possible.
