Raskolnikov2089 posted:I think what bothered me most about The Sacrament is that the characters seem to exist in a world that never experienced Jonestown. Found footage isn't particularly effective when it takes place in an alternate reality. Yep. I think that's kind of a funny joke about horror movies, vampire films often feel obligated to talk about Dracula whereas Night of the Living Dead does not exist in zombie films (with a notable exception). However, As Above, So Below takes place in an alternate reality, and it's perfectly fine.

I always think about that when I watch TV shows and the characters are pop-culture literate but hey here's guest star Colin Farrell not playing Colin Farrell and now if anyone in this TV show ever references anything Colin Farrell has ever done reality breaks down.

I'm not so sure. Jordan Catalano again?!

I don't know if this got mentioned but a ton of Woody Allen just got put up. Before there was only Annie Hall, Manhattan, Purple Rose of Cairo and Scoop. But now there's also Zelig, Sleeper, Bananas, Alice, Shadows and Fog, September, Love and Death, Interiors, Stardust Memories, Radio Days, and A Midsummer's Night Sex Comedy. edit: I forgot Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex TrixRabbi fucked around with this message at 15:16 on Oct 14, 2014 |

Yep that child rapist sure made some good-rear end movies. (full disclosure, I've never actually seen a Woody Allen movie. Always found him kind of irritating even before I found out he hosed a kid.) (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Wagner was a filthy racist, but Siegfried's Funeral March is still my mother in law's ringtone. Most people hear his name and think of Apocalypse Now, not antisemitism. Art transcends the artist. Raskolnikov2089 fucked around with this message at 02:39 on Oct 14, 2014 |

Sometimes. I can watch Chinatown without thinking about Roman Polansky's awful crimes. But because of the subject matter, good luck doing the same while you watch Manhattan.

Love and Death, Sleeper, and Take the Money and Run were three of my most watched movies as a kid, wore the the tapes out kind of watching. I've come to realize that kind of appreciation is really hard to break. Girlfriend is going to have to deal with a lot of Woody Allen this week.

Going off the tell-alls of that era, the only thing that makes Woody Allen unique among his peers is that he didn't stop when the 70s ended.

Love and Death is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen, and I'll definitely be putting Shocktober on pause to give it a rewatch later this week.

Dang. Dead End Drive-End was awesome. Great environments, great concept, great clothes. More recs for similar stuff on instant? Obviously I've seen Mad Max. Netflix recommended Death Machine which looks maybe cool so I might check that out next. Also, thanks to whoever recommended Resolution a lot of pages back. Really loved the film's vibe. Would make for an interesting companion piece with Cabin in the Woods, I feel?

blood_dot_biz posted:Netflix recommended Death Machine which looks maybe cool so I might check that out next. Excellent. Brad Dourif somehow manages to consume half of the set. I've loved it since I bought it on VHS, sight unseen, from a display on the counter of an off license years ago (the true mark of quality.) It's the movie Alien wishes it could have been.

I just watched Zelig last night. I'll probably be going through a lot of these over the next few weeks because I'd only seen a small chunk of Allen films and from what I've seen I really love his early comedies (which thankfully make up most of the Netflix selection). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVU47Q86q4o

I can't see someone ask for "foreign" and "action" and not at least try to recommend them Ip Man.

I'll try Ip Man and B13, though I was searching for something more modern. I guess I was just hoping there was The Man From Nowhere sequel hidden somewhere.

Just watched the newly added Witching & Bitching, a little Spanish horror comedy by the guy that directed The Last Circus. Movie is pretty drat solid! No real scares, but got a lot of laughs out of it and the story's something new which is saying a lot for horror these days. I highly recommend you watch it!

Good news is, if you like Ip Man there's like three sequels of varying quality as well. The fighting is very similar to the kind found in The Matrix

I did notice there's a few times that the subtitles seemed to fly by super fast, but it wasn't often and I never felt lost!

If you haven't seen The Chaser or I Saw the Devil, then you're in for a treat. More crimey than actiony but both superb. The Vengeance trilogy (Sympathy for Mr Vengeance, Oldboy and Lady Vengeance) are all compulsory viewing too. Poignant, beautiful and thrilling.

Watched Filth got bored 2/3 of the way in. Maybe I just thought it would be something it wasn't; but by the end I was just glad it was over, no matter how "shocking" the "big twist ending" was.

I tried twice and couldn't get past the first twenty minutes. Trailer gave it a Snatch/Rock N Rolla vibe, but it was nothing close to that.
