Lurdiak posted:Well from what we've seen of Satan in the show he's a huge rear end in a top hat too, which kinda undermines that reading. I've only s seen up to episode 5 I think, and he's definitely come across as bad and wrong, but not just because Satan is the bad guy who is traditionally evil. It's because the Dark Lord's church is a patriarchal form of control and an establishment, which is a charge that can be leveled against Christian churches too. Threes a nuance that extends beyond "Satan is an embodiment of evil."

If you sincerely enjoy Nicholas Cage instead of laughing at him because of memes then you're uncool and not in on the totally hilarious joke.

Someone laughing to hard at a movie or doing so at inappropriate times, like when someone is singing along too loud and off key at a concert, is one of those things you just have to suck up if it's annoying you, because you are pretty easily the lovely killjoy in the situation no matter how you try to justify the other person or people just not getting it. Also that scene in Mandy that was brought up is in fact kind of god damned ridiculous and laughing at it doesn't even feel like it wasn't at least one of the intended reactions.

It’s probably actually because that was a wild goofball scene by an actor who’s cultivated a persona of providing intense-bordering-absurd performances. I like Cage, but if you’re looking down your noses at audiences for laughing at that scene, it isn’t them that’s being aloof.

I didn't see Mandy yet, so I can't comment on it specifically but I see the kind of thing I'm talking about all the time. I went to a Godzilla screening a few years ago and most of the audience was just yukkin it up until about half way into the movie when they realized how grim it is. A lot of people are just above liking things now. It's obnoxious and stupid.

It's a ridiculous scene but it's still one of a character breaking down into tears and hyping himself into bloody murder. I mean laugh away, but what's so high-larious to the point of knee slapping about that or seeing him close a fridge door? Cause that literally happened: nic cage closes a door, followed by prolonged laughter

He can make me feel so many different things in a scene and no actor alive can do that. Like the Hokey Pokey scene in Mom and Dad is both really sad but goddamn absurd because you have a grown man yell singing the hokey pokey while smashing a pool table as a metaphor for killing his childhood.

I saw Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (with William Shatner in attendance!) back in September and there was no heckling at any point. Same with Ghostbusters. But maybe that's just because half the audience was baked.

It kind of depends on what the movies is. If it's any sort of typical "nerd" movie then proceed with caution. I thought about it and more often than not repertory screenings are fine because of what the movie was or where it was. I've been to a bunch of poo poo at the Harvard Film Archive and basically because that's a kind of hoity toity place you don't have anyone being morons. But among others I've been to screenings of Aliens and the Big Lebowski and people there were insufferable although those were for reasons other than what I mentioned before. Still I feel like it's all the same kind of people because it's all just live memeing.

That's true, you take the blood and cannibalism out of the show and a lot of the conflicts between Sabrina and the church of night are just the same kind of conflicts you'd see between orthodox members of a judeo christian religion and someone Sabrina's age.

I guess I’ve been lucky with revival screenings so far, because most of them have been filled rooms where you could hear a pin drop. I remember seeing Alien and the only scene that got a reaction was Ash being decapitated. There is this obvious cut from a puppet to an actor in make-up, so that got a chuckle.

Lol, I got my partner a mycology textbook for Christmas, and it’s supposed to be a really comprehensive one that includes everything from instructions on growing mushrooms and using them as medicine to wild ravings about the political potential of mycelium colony-organisms. There’s even a chapter of just mushroom jokes in here.
