Maybe Oz can be a "counter earth" that always stays obscured from our vision by another planet like planet X in Godzilla vs The Astro Monster or the World of Gor books.

The Doctor seems to be the only character in pop culture who figured out the whole movement of the planets problem with time travel.

That movie actually exists and is super dope - it’s called Journey To The Far Side Of The Sun, and is about an astronaut who crash-lands on what he believes to be a mirror version of Earth on the other side of the sun (obviously).

Holy poo poo quote:Prior to a screening in the 1980s, a telecine operator viewed the print and, being unfamiliar with the premise of the film, concluded that the scenes set on the parallel Earth had been reversed in error. An additional "flop-over" edit restored the image to normal, which became the standard for all broadcasts but compromised the plot: if Doppelgänger is screened in this modified form, the viewer is led to conclude that the parallel Ross has landed on the non-reversed, normal Earth.

The Void if such an odd movie, the effects are decent and everything else is just so cheap looking. I understand that it's a product of how they funded the movie, but it's still weird to see.

I've always wanted to write a story where a detective has to go back in time to find and incapacitate the guy who invented the time machine, which is now loving up the entire history of everything because we've reached the end of actual time and, rather than die, we've been sending people back over and over to find new places and times to populate and now every place everywhere every time is jam-packed with people, because the more people get sent back, the more arrive at the end of time, creating a catastrophic endless loop of absolute overpopulation.

Okay, I think I cracked a big part of my story about the suburban explorers: a pistol. I'm just not sure if it's better for someone to get shot accidentally in the midst of an adventure, or if someone straight up steal it. Or maybe both.

If anyone is going to see Fighting with the Family, I highly recommend watching the Channel 4 doc I posted right after. It's not just that the movie is kind of run-of-the-mill feel goodery that takes all sorts of liberties, it's that those liberties become a meta-textual analogy for WWE's whole soap opera branding process. There's literally a scene in the doc where Bevis is making a joke about how WWE is writing her character that you could directly carry over to her character in the film. It's fascinating because, like, if you're a WWE fan, you could clearly just remember/look up what Paige's costume was for her RAW debut. It was totally not this badass girl next door thing, they literally just dressed her like a '80s metal video back-up dancer like everyone else.

If anyone's interested, the podcast I posted about a few weeks back is still going and we just had former Smug Film contributor and current Back Row Cine Blog co-founder Jenna Ipcar on to do an episode on Joel Schumacher's 8mm as well as a bonus episode on Elaine May's Ishtar if that's of interest to any of y'all. They're pretty good discussions I do think! https://soundcloud.com/numberonemoviepodcast/ep-9-weekend-of-2261999-8mm-feat-jenna-ipcar https://soundcloud.com/numberonemoviepodcast/bonus-episode-ipcar-on-ishtar

I wouldn't go that far I think it did what it set out to do how it set out to do it but with the restrictions that still only brings it to like a solid 6. It clearly soars above things like Beyond the Gates.

What does someone getting shot do for you, though? Is it for the climax? A death? Writing a character or two out as someone drags the victim off to the hospital? I'm not trying to downplay the idea at all and clearly it's inspiring you to do something. These are just the questions that spring to mind for me when I read your post.

By the way, that time travel thing SMG mentioned is like one of the major plot points (or whatever you'd call it in this context) of World of Tomorrow, a short that you all should have watched by now quite frankly.

To me that’s the moment everything goes to poo poo, like I’m working something out where the person gets shot by accident is the leader of the gang, and the shooter tries to pin it on the protagonist? I haven’t gotten that far yet As for what happens, they would leave them there and get their story straight as having gone too far and that they were shot by the homeowner, and later realizing it wouldn’t work as a story. It also introduces the missing gun as something to worry about.

This is much better than that first trailer. I am considerably hyped for this, now. Also, Milla Jovovich is forever and refuses to age. It's incredible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-VSALNwE3E

I haven’t gotten that far yet So it would be a pivot point where the whole focus of the movie changes? All right, I can dig that. -- So yesterday I crawled out from under the rock I'd been for the past few months and saw a movie in the theater for the first time in a long while. Turns out over half the previews I saw were for things I want to see as soon as they come out, like Captain Marvel, Us, and Godzilla. Feels pretty good to have fun things to look forward to after a year or two of being mostly unmotivated by the spring/summer release schedule. Also maybe Pet Sematary won't be bad. The Kid may be interesting. It looks like Starfish didn't get much of a limited release but will be available for streaming in May. Should be a fun few months!

The new Hellboy's mouth looks like a toothy anus, they should've went with the more hard edged mouth that Pearlman rocked and was more on model to the original character design.

All the characters in that trailer look kind of weird and uncomfortable in a way I can't quite put my finger on. This isn't necessarily a bad thing or inappropriate to Hellboy, though, it's just a contrast to Guillermo del Toro, who loves monsters so much that I don't think he's really capable of designing or portraying monsters who feel weird and uncomfortable about being monsters. I'm cautiously optimistic.
