MisterBibs posted:

You know, the people who are in the movie to get eaten because it's a friggin' zombie movie, and nobody is there for whatever variation on "witness man's inhumanity to man" message injected in to try and claim it's something more than a zombie film. Again, it's about what you're watching the movie(s) in question for, and you're not watching a zombie film for it's subtle takes on the human condition.

Even for MisterBibs takes, this is loving stupid as poo poo

I first watched it in my early 20s after hearing about it non-stop since I was 10, and it was amazing how my 10-year-old friends had better comic timing for the jokes than the movie itself. Every single loving joke lands a second or so late, and when your movie is built around nothing but jokes, those misfires really add up. It was one of the most unpleasant movie watching experiences I’ve ever had.

So you’ve never seen the George Romero Living Dead trilogy, the movies that literally invented the zombie genre

Dude, the line about "zombie movies about zombies injecting 'witness man's inhumanity to man' to imply they are more than a zombie movie" is right there in the quoted post.

You're not watching even the Romero zombies, the most thematically rich of the zombie films, for hot takes on the human condition. It's the dudes who are eating the cast you're there for, and it doesn't make you a better person for saying you are.

Random thought: I miss when comic book movies were so rare and you'd get amazing set designs and costumes because that's the only way they'd get greenlit, now you see a screenshot of Captain America or Batman with their new gear on and go "oh, they cleaned up the suit, that's nice"

Housebound is a ghost movie without any actual ghosts and it's easily one of the best movies in the subgenre. Between that and Shadow of the Vampire I see no reason this wouldn't work for kaiju or zombies or anything else.

Frankly I'm surprised no one's made a post-kaiju movie where you don't really see the monster but you do see society's reaction to the aftermath. If such a movie exists, let me know.

You’re not watching Jaws for the characters, you’re watching it for the shark. That’s why Deep Blue Sea is the better movie, it has three sharks instead of one, and they’re all very big.

Not sure about set design yet but Black Panther certainly seems like it's going to deliver the costuming.

I forgot how great Series 7: The Contenders is, it fucks HARD.

If you haven't seen it, it's basically Battle Royale, done as a government-supported early 00s game show a la Big Brother/Survivor.

The ending in particular is great, after being ravaged by testicular cancer and already having attempted suicide, dude's about to sacrifice himself so his high school sweetheart can have her baby back when she gets shot suddenly by his ex wife, so in revenge he shoots himself in the head. And then wakes up, the winner of Series 7, and just goes "poo poo."

man that movie owns hard. it used to be nigh impossible to find, too

loving hell, I've been putting off Star Wars because I wanted to go see it with my dad and today is the day I was going to see it on IMAX and...completely sold out. Same for tomorrow.

I think I'm just going to use my Moviepass and see a normal late night screening tonight. It's weird because I don't care THAT much about Star Wars but I still don't' want it spoiled in case I do end up liking it and the longer I go without seeing it the more poo poo I'm going to get spoiled even while trying to actively ignore it.
