Also, to reiterate a point from many pages back: Scream loving rules. Scream 2 is fun, but it's obvious they re-wrote the back half of the movie partway through production, because it twists so goddamn much and feels incredibly contrived.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:I'm not sure whether to be disappointed or impressed with Get Out. It absolutely botches the big twist - but that big twist is, bafflingly, that it's not actually a film about racism; it's about elder abuse. Quoting from way back, but it's interesting you bring up elder abuse as the first thing I mentioned to my roommate after seeing this was how Chris' friend is the embodiment of "gently caress you got mine" seeing as how he works for a type of law enforcement (TSA), and he's introduced happily telling a story about harassing an elderly woman. The movie kinda felt like it was pro-conformity into the established hierarchy. Chris' friend isn't there to thematically rescue him, he's there to say "I told you so.".

FreudianSlippers posted:The dude from the 19th century has the body of a old man in his early 30s because he has been working 14 hours a day 6 days a week since he was 4. Is constantly drunk because unlike all the drinking water alcohol doesn't have poop in it. Has a bunch of parasites. In Scandinavia it would be because of a different reason. In medieval times people drank low alcoholic beer all the time (because it had less bacteria and more protein than water) and when stronger stuff was introduced people didn't change their drinking patterns. This lead to what is called (losely translated) The Great Nordic Buzz which was a period from the 17th century to the 19th century were more or less every scandinavian walked around constantly toasted.

I was initially confused to hear the one of the two guys installing a tile backsplash in my kitchen giving a full recap of Fun with Dick and Jane (2005) to the other, because who even remembers that movie, but it appears to be part of a larger discussion of films featuring revenge pranks on lovely bosses, so it's all good.

Basically every actor ever from the 90s was on a Tales from the Crypt episode. There was an episode where Agent Cooper and Detective Bayliss killed each other over a girl.

For some reason my favorite scene in all of Kill Bill may just be when the Bride first meets with Hattori Hanzo, and they're both playing these parts of the chirpy tourist and the ingratiating bar owner, and Thurman is just so freaking charming she manages to hold her own with Sonny Chiba. I honestly feel she should have gotten at least an Oscar nod, because while it's an extremely un-"realistic" performance it relies a lot on being able to command attention and project personality. (Really, the movie as a whole seems to be best seen as an experiment in QT ditching "realism" altogether and making a film out of purely melodramatic elements- and well, it works.) I saw this at a double feature yesterday- both movies in 35mm, for 3/5 at the Drafthouse- and it got me thinking, I may actually not have a "worst" Tarantino picture. (Before anyone says Death Proof, no. Death Proof has Zoe Bell and "I'm okay!" which is the payoff to all the slowness that precedes it.)

Speaking of things that start with "Tales from the" I watched Tales from the Hood again(?) last night. It was great. The (?) is because I'm not sure I've seen the whole thing before. If I have, I may have been really drunk. I also watched "Steven King's" Thinner, which I had never seen before. Wanted to see it since I was a kid. It was... not good. Except the makeup, which was pretty great for the time and the budget. edit: Maxwell Lord posted:For some reason my favorite scene in all of Kill Bill may just be when the Bride first meets with Hattori Hanzo, and they're both playing these parts of the chirpy tourist and the ingratiating bar owner, and Thurman is just so freaking charming she manages to hold her own with Sonny Chiba.

I didn't dig Deathproof when it came out. But I was like, and idiot 20 year old. Upon rewatching, it's really good. The slowness isn't there. The dialogue and visuals are great for the whole movie. I think Pulp Fiction is my least favorite Tarantino. It's not bad, but I think it's pretty over-rated. Snak fucked around with this message at 21:14 on Mar 6, 2017 |

I've been out of town all weekend and now that I'm on my way home I started to read some reviews of Breath of the Wild to hype me up to play it, and I can't recall the last time I've read such universal, effusive praise for anything. Like, the absolute worst reviews for it still say "this is a must play video game that takes a thing everyone loves, drastically changes it, and made it better". I'm sure that there are people out there that don't like it but apparently not a single one of them professionally review games for a living.

To be sure one problem with video game reviews is that video games take a while to complete these days, and a game with a brilliant start may fizzle out. (Indeed many do- developers know that most people rarely finish video games, so they put their best foot forward, and the endings are almost always rushed.) The AV Club at least is doing a thing where there's a review, and there's also a series of someone writing impressions as they play. But yeah, "So far so good" seems to be the case for Breath of the Wild. Maxwell Lord fucked around with this message at 21:34 on Mar 6, 2017 |

Another problem is the wildly incestuous relationship between video game journalists and developers/publishers. Basically don't pay attention to any game coverage that isn't Car Boys, Monster Factory, or Touch the Skyrim.
