Agreed. That's the state I saw it in and it hosed me up. The movie has what in my opinion is the best jump scare ever.

Thirding this as the preferred way to watch the movie.

Then follow up by reading The Tibetan Book of the Dead...then probably also read The Blind Owl which doesn't have anything to do with the movie but is a good follow up to TBotD

She was my favorite part. Cage is an obvious love but I really dug what Blair was doing. She nailed the confusion and utter disgust perfectly.

Pretty underrated/underseen movie all around, I didn't realize it was by Neveldine (or Taylor? I forget which one) until the end but it makes sense. I think Nicolas Cage said it was his favorite role that he's played in recent memory.

There's a great moment toward the end of Mom and Dad where Cage and Blair trap their kids in the basement and try to gas them to death. They look at each other with such relief and joy, and both of them absolutely sell it as chilling and yet strangely relatable at the same time. You really believe that they believe they're going to save their marriage by murdering their children. It also has my favorite type of horror movie ending, too: the immediate danger is over with but everything is still hosed and there's no going back to normal

Mom and Dad rules. It gets to a point early on where it approaches a very salient question (ie, should we curtail individual rights and empower regulating institutions to guarantee the survival of our species?) and then just fucks off and goes bonkers in another direction.

Mom and Dad also has my favorite special guest appearance in I don't know how long, Lance Henriksen showing up at the front door and just immediately macing Nicolas Cage in the face

oh also Grant Morrison showing up as a talking head on TV for like five seconds was a fun surprise

Yeah, Mom and Dad is a gem and Selma Blair stole the show. I thought it was gonna blow up a little more than it did, but if one predominantly VOD Nic Cage release of 2018 was going to break out, I guess the right one did.

I look forward to people discovering it over the years.

it was Brian Taylor. They split up for now, but are still good friends. I wish Neveldine would direct some episodes of Happy! which is probably my favorite show right now. I've been craving more Crank level stuff but nothing really nailed that level of insane creativity until Happy! (which is done by Brian Taylor)

Also I'm super glad I saw Mom and Dad in the theaters for the one night it was playing. Small audience, but we all had fun.

I've pretty much resigned myself to accept the fact that I will never have any loving idea what happened with MJ and any kids. I firmly believe that the LA district attorney's office had a personal vendetta to go after him and that much of their cases and evidence over the years was loving shady as hell.

But a request for arbitration is far, far far from anything remotely reliable as proof that the documentary is full of poo poo. Hell, the first allegation is a bunch of horseshit in both the heading and the first few paragraphs:


There is no court in the history of this country that has ever "proven someone's innocence" and just because an attorney says he is willing to accept a different burden of proof doesn't actually change the burden of proof in a case, let alone having a not guilty verdict being anything remotely similar to a jury having "found" that an attorney's opening remarks were right.

Again, there is serious shade to throw at all sides in this story, but a loving pleading is worthless in proving anything.
That's the lawyer grandstanding, but read after that. Can you dispute any of the facts related to their claims of the accusers put forth in that? And they're requesting it to be public, meaning they're not trying to hide when discovery starts.

Many people, including the court of law, have already said the dude is lying. Why are sensationalized grisly "details" given as much weight as the facts we know. Like that the parents slept in the same room with the children. Or that this dude was dating MJs neice, who mj hooked him up with, all the while him and mj were allegedly in love. There's just too much bullshit and folks are relying on tabloid folk tales to confirm biases.

Ah, that would explain the Grant Morrison cameo.

I haven't watched any of Happy! yet but Chris Meloni is good casting.

So far it takes a lot of elements from it, yeah, and it seems like the Cliff/Jane friendship will be the emotional anchor as in Morrison’s run. The show’s depiction of Mr. Nobody is great but meta in a way that will annoy a lot of people. But most importantly it’s just appropriately weird. Like real goddamn weird.

Like I said I think many of the cases against him have been bullshit. But courts can be bullshit in general and a pleading is just as biased and unreliable as that doc. I’d say the same thing about anything said in any court involving MJ. Assuming those kids were telling the truth just for a moment, MJ could easily pay enough money to make them look like liars in a court.

It happens every day in far less we’ll funded cases than these ones.


Again I don’t necessarily disagree with you but I highly disagree with using pleadings funded with massive amounts of money as proof of more than anything but that lawyers will say anything i a highly persuasive manner if you pay them enough. This goes for MJ and his accusers.

pokemon being bizarre and somewhat out of place creatures are more in keeping with that film's themes, while sonic was originally set in a world where his appearance fits right in.

Apparently, after the premiere of At Long Last Love, which went very badly, Wilder said you could hear the Champagne corks popping all over town. What was his deal?
He was jealous. I was young and successful. He was old and hadn’t made a picture and I hadn’t written about him or done any pieces praising him. He managed to gently caress up two pictures I was going to do. One was Private Lives. The executives asked him what he thought of the idea. He said, “Bad idea.” That was the end of that. You know what he did when Tony Curtis’s son died of an overdose? He sent him a telegram saying, “Like father, like son.”

Do you like burying assholes? When you see your enemies’ obituaries, what do you think?
Well, I wasn’t unhappy when Billy died.

I saw Killer Joe within the first month of moving to Chicago and enjoying all of the indie/limited release movies that I would never have gotten at home, so I saw it at the same theater as Battle Royale and Compliance, and let me assure you that nothing I have seen compares to Compliance

I don't ever want to watch that movie again, but I'm glad I watched it once
