Yeah I saw Tetsuo recently and it was amazing. I need to see the sequels.

Both Tetsuos (haven't seen the third, it looks really bad) are weird to me. I feel that they're good movies with a lot going on for them, but they just feel far too wrong and unpleasant for me to be able to enjoy watching them at all. The only Shin'ya Tsukamoto movie I've seen besides them is Tokyo Fist, and I liked that more. It's violent and ugly as well, but in a completely different way. e: Body Hammer is an amazing title for a movie though.

Body Hammer is awesome, Bullet Man is a movie you need to see for yourself to decide how you feel about it.

And Trent Reznor did the theme to The Bullet Man! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wu9bm-RJMWM I watched this one at a friend's house a few years ago. I already had a headache that night and the movie just amplified it a bunch. I don't remember too much about the movie now except for there being a lot of really surreal, disturbing body horror in it.

I once watched that movie on TV and the station identification bumper actually claimed the film as "starring He-Man and Skeletor" instead of Dolph Lundgren and Frank Langella.

Walking through the lobby of a theater near me, I did a huge double take: They were indeed showing the first movie, and I'm kind of amazed I didn't know about it until I saw that poster.

IMO Return of the Living Dead is still the best horror comedy of all time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mO9ZKzF9EmM&sns=em It's a near perfect mix of horror and comedy, and Tar Man is a work of practical effect genius.

Ez posted:They recently gave him his own spinoff sequel and it was so confusing. They didn't even mention Spiderman once! I'd heard about this film, oscar bait blah de blah but the thing that made me go wait what?? is who wrote it. Danny Strong, man that name sounds familiar, and a trip to IMDB later tells me it's this guy:  Jonathon. Danny Strong, who I've known for years as ^^that guy, has won an Emmy for his writing work. That's cool as hell, and good for him.

He randomly shows up in Buffy (or at least the first two seasons, I gave up after that), and he's a no-talent hack in Mad Men that gets hired anyways due to office politics. I'm pretty shocked he wrote The Butler.

I'm pretty sure he sticks with the show at least through graduation, because I remember he gave the speech that their graduating class had the lowest fatality rate of any class in Sunnydale history. And I think he comes up again later as part of a trio that gets way too deep into bad poo poo.

Yeah, I first found out and went "whoa, Jonathon" when I saw him onstage accepting a Golden Globe for writing "Game Change". He's also writing the next two Hunger Games movies. As for Stoker, that movie is really carried by the direction, not so much the script, but good on Wentworth Miller anyway.

I think the script for 'Stoker' always had a certain tone in mind, and they were lucky to have a Director who totally understood that. In the wrong hands it could've come off way worse. It's one of the aspects that I think doesn't work in 'Jennifer's Body'. I think it's a pretty good script, and the direction is gorgeous, but I'm not sure the tone was right.
