Dammit, I want to watch The Black Hole without buying a copy.

I watched it out of curiosity, but I wound up liking a movie on Netflix called Time Lapse. The synopsis:

Three friends conspire to use a mysterious machine that takes photos 24 hours into the future for personal gain, until dangerous images develop. What if you saw what was going to happen to you 24 hours from now? These roommates do, and it's kind of frightening.

It's one of those movies where just by the synopsis you can kinda figure out where things are going (complete with a Final Temporal Twist that I'm assured to never quite wrap my head around), but the last minute or so of the movie was a pleasant gut-punch. The only name actor is John Rhys-Davies in a cameo role, but Danielle Panabaker looks super familiar and I can't place where the hell I've seen her in.

Prime is loaded with 1960s-70s exploitation films if you're in the mood. You might want to just pay $5 for the Shudder add-on subscription in Amazon for the month: https://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&hidden-keywords=-B001CWSLTW%20-B001EPJO5M&page=1&rh=n%3A2858778011%2Cp_n_subscription_id%3A12744440011

Netflix is pushing Most Likely to Die on me under horror. It looked like a fairly garbage slasher flick. I was intrigued by the 3* rating (pretty good for horror), so I went ahead and watched it and yeah it's a garbage slasher flick.

E: summarizing my horror recommendations from the last year or so: Don't Look Now (prime), Starry Eyes, Last Shift, We are Still Here, The Hallow, Bone Tomahawk, At the Devil's Door

I watched that a couple years ago and yeah it's quite solid, reminded me of a (much lesser) Primer.

On Prime if you have the Starz add-on (which is a good deal anyway since they get some good movies, Star Wars 7 just went up and they have Inside/Out and stuff) loving watch the gently caress out of Blunt Talk starring Patrick Stewart as an out of control sex and drugs maniac talk show host in LA. Jesus, I hope Patrick Stewart never dies.

Anyone have experience with Shudder's official site? It seems to be easier to navigate and has a bunch of movies that its Amazon version doesn't have.
For some silly reason though, you can't link your Amazon account to their official site. :psyduck:

Might cancel the Amazon Shudder subscription if the official one works decently.(subtitle support is fairly important)

Also adding Baskin to the list of decent horror for October. I was mildly critical in my initial review, but over time my impression has improved. It's a chilling and impressive piece of filmmaking.

Ok, I'm gonna be a little bit of a spoiler on this. Sorry.

The movie is alright. It seems really bad at first but give it 15 minutes. It starts to get interesting.

The male lead being a former military grade scientist is casting against type. I didn't think it worked very well but YMMV. The female lead is great, really sells the character. Despite that, their relationship didn't really work for me.

The premise is also fairly original. No, not the time loop, but (spoiler for a pretty good part of the premise) what if EVERYONE gradually realized they were getting groundhog day'd?

The time stuff has one huge problem that I'll spoiler below:

the twin reveals at the end is that the time loop has repeated thousands of times, and the time loop only extends about 200 feet from the ARQ. Well the problem here is that the main bad guy, Sonny, calls in people/robots from outside the loop! So from outside the loop, the perspective is: the same guy keeps calling for a pickup every couple of hours, eternally, and whenever they send robots they disappear or are otherwise prevented from interacting with the house. So how the hell does that work?

If anyone still hasn't watched it, Stranger Things is so freaking good. The child actors they used are really well directed and don't come off as insufferable as I was expecting during the first 15 minutes of the first episode.

Trying to decide what to watch between now and Luke Cage on the 30th. Prefer something short or easy to pick back up after I marathon LC.

Every once in a while I like to find the worst movie I can on Netflix, so I'm pretty glad I found Casting Couch (looks like it's on Canadian only).

The premise is like a douchebag version of Takashi Miike's Audition, only the plan works perfectly and everyone gets laid.

Aside from being technically incompetent on multiple levels, it's racist and homophobic in addition to being very misogynistic. For example, there's a female character who is in on the scheme, and ends up dumping her boyfriend for one of the guys behind the fake auditions because her boyfriend was surly about the fake movie's gay director constantly trying to rape him. This is seen as a sweet moment because the guy she ends up with had "his" girl stolen by another character after that character decided he would prefer to have sex with a white girl instead of the asian he agred to gently caress in order to not seem racist.

The real punchline comes during the end credits, when you find out that the actors in the movie are also the guys who wrote, directed, and produced it- meaning that they made a movie about themselves making a movie in order to cast girls to gently caress, as a way for them to actually cast girls to gently caress.
