From what I remember of the first Leprechaun movie, it was just a shittier Pumpkinhead. Watch Pumpkinhead instead.

I've never bothered watching a Leprechaun movie. Are any of them worth a watch, or do the titles pretty much tell the full joke?

The one in Vegas is good because it has the astronaut pen guy from Seinfeld in it but other than that no

none of the first four Leprechaun movies are good, but if you want to be a true student of bad movies you're going to have to grapple with them at some point.

Desert Heat? I thought it was Dessert Heat. No wonder it tastes so bad.

The only time I watched Leprechaun in the Hood was St Patrick's Day a few years ago when I downed a fifth of Jameson, ate all the marshmallows in a box of Lucky Charms, and ate half a raw potato. All of these were roughly equally good ideas. Half my family tree must have been rolling in their graves that night.

no poo poo, there's gotta be like 9 or 10 of those Puppet Master movies by now and after like the third one they get pretty unwatchable. I think the second one's genuinely "not bad" though.

I do have the bizarre urge to do a Subspecies marathon now

One time a guy stole some downhill skis out of my jeep and I was so mad I punched a mailbox. I'm against crime, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
I've only seen the Demonic Toys where they fight the puppet master. It was terrible. I saw a big DVD set at Wal Mart with like, 12 Puppet Master/Demonic Toys movies and even though it was cheap there was no way I'd ever subject myself to that poo poo.

If the Leprechaun movies are mostly comparable to Demonic Toys, then I feel comfortable in avoiding these.

i don't know that it's really supposed to be scary.

that director had a weird career. Begotten, Shadow of the Vampire, some crappy looking serial killer movie with Carrie Anne Moss and Ben Kingsley, and then nothing that I know of for 15 years

my posts are as bad the Current Releases review of Gone Girl

The opening scene of Begotten is one of the only times I've had to pause a movie to get air and calm down, because I wasn't expecting the way the actor moved to be so visceral.

Hodgepodge posted:

I think that's basically how the Guild Fold-Ships were designed in Dune. "Look we're mutated freaks who get really high and bend space into origami until we're were we want to be. Make the place look like Dracula would have trouble sleeping a night here."

I always liked the scene in Lynch's Dune where you get to see space travel from the navigator's POV while he's tripping balls and envisioning space folding as vomiting wormholes onto ships.

That was me with the first time I saw Eraserhead. By the time I got to Begotten I was bored with it. Which I'm not saying as a complaint, I really wanted to get into the groove of that one. Felt like a bunch of dudes running around in hoods.

That lead me to this classic, which I haven't seen since the 90s:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pukbzCC3cfQ

Kind of awesome as a short film in its own right.

quote:

"According to Santilli, a set was constructed in the living room of an empty flat in Rochester Square, Camden Town, London. John Humphreys, an artist and sculptor, was employed to construct two dummy alien bodies over a period of three weeks, using casts containing sheep brains set in raspberry jam, chicken entrails and knuckle joints obtained from S.C. Crosby Wholesale Butchers Smithfield meat market, London. Humphreys also played the role of the chief examiner, in order to allow him to control the effects being filmed. There were two separate attempts at making the footage. After filming, the team disposed of the "bodies" by cutting them into small pieces and placing them in rubbish bins across London.

It's kind of funny how many movies with utterly awful 90s CGI have really good, kinda understated practical effects. Mortal Kombat, Spawn, Alien 3, and Hellraiser 4 all have some of the worst CGI I've ever seen, but the non-CG effects are all pretty okay in all of them.

there's only one CG effect in Alien 3 actually, and it's when the Alien explodes at the end. the funky looking alien is actually a rod puppet.

Star Trek 6 is the same. There's an early scene with absolutely awful CG blood floating in zero g, but there's a ton of great practical effects in the rest of the film.

Also, it's embarrassing how upset this question made me.

I feel like if you could afford CG back then, your budget was probably high enough to afford the good practical work.
