Is that the movie where keanu reeves says "you just sit around and gently caress my mom and eat pancakes" ?

Probably. Definitely sounds right.

Glover's performance is so great though. "KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF CLARISSA, MAAAAAAAAN"

The script is really great. Also excellent cinematography by Fredreck Elmes, who also shot Blue Velvet, which was also released in 1986. River's Edge is like the anti-John Hughes 80s movie.

Speaking of which, also worth noting that River's Edge is a true story. It'd make a great double feature with Bully and/or Alpha Dog

I still haven't seen Bully (that is a Larry Clark movie correct?) yet. I need to correct that someday. Alpha Dog was good.

Yeah. They do need to fix that. It's basically unusable when GOT is on. I guess everyone wants to watch The Deuce. CYE comes back tonight too so I bet it's gonna be real awful in a little while.

Raw is going to be on US Netflix starting October 4. Female lead is a vegetarian who goes to vet school, gets hazed into eating meat, but that leads to some unexpected cravings. Slow burn with lots of tension and there are some pretty gruesome scenes. Strongly recommend!

Raw is very good and also extremely gross. Horror movie gore usually has no effect on me, but I actually had to look away at several points.

I didn't much care for Gerald's Game, the acting's alright but I think the story would be much better adapted as a play. The protagonist's situation is horrific at first, but that wears off after a while and the psychodrama elements are rote.

If you stream Amazon Prime it's really easy to pick up Shudder as a $5 add-on, and Prime makes it super easy to cancel subscriptions so you can just cancel after Halloween.

I researched Alpha Dog when it was mentioned in this thread a few days ago and was surprised to see the reviews were kind of tepid when it came out. I remember it as a career high for several of the players: Emile Hirsch, Justin Timberlake, Anton Yelchin, Shawn Hatosy, and holy gently caress Ben Foster was a force of nature.

I think about that movie sometimes when I wonder why Ben Foster isn't a megastar. Alpha Dog and 3:10 to Yuma came out at about the same time and it seemed like he was incredibly gifted.
