Even though it's not as faithful to the book, or to Silence and Hannibal, I still prefer it because watching Red Dragon is like eating plain oatmeal while being reminded that the Quaker Oats guy is a rapist. I also love Brian Cox and usually enjoy Mann's stuff.

In Animal House, during the parade riot, Flounder's about to squirt Niedemeyer with a seltzer bottle. Niedemeyer puts a live round into his Enfield and shoots the bottle, which shatters. Bullet would have gone right through the bottle and continued right into Flounder. And probably gone all the way through him as well.

At one point in Animal House, Pinto is trying to decide whether or not to have sex with an underage girl on the football field, and a small angel and small devil appear on either shoulder to give advice. This is ridiculous and impossible and takes you right out of the movie.

Level 16: a movie that falls for the all too common trap of coasting on an interesting premise. It blew its entire load in the first half hour. IIMM about it: there's NO way the revenue they would generate by offering these facial transplants would justify an enterprise like this. Buying young girls, keeping them captive for their entire lives up until the late teens, maintaining the prison facility...all for the handful of people on earth willing to support such a thing to get temporarily smooth skin? There's no way this skin farm is economically viable

It’s astonishing that there are two Hannibal Lecter movies worse than Red Dragon somehow. There are also two better ones though, so maybe it’s meant to be.

I suppose I wasn't being fair, I was too focused on "would I pay for this" than "would dumb rich people pay for this". Like they could just go the normal plastic surgery route and get almost as good results, but it wouldn't be the first time people dramatically overpaid just to get "the best".

Maybe the skin slaves could double as batteries to power robots.Find some good synergy between sci-fi movie plots. But yeah, it's very difficult to raise meat eaters for any economically viable purpose, which is why every animal we eat en mass is feed cheap corn or grain. Maybe a crop of vegan girls? Is a all-plant diet good for your skin?

Been thinking of seeing the movie, and this just gives me an excuse. One of the things I really hate about streaming media is the lack of commentary, but thankfully on some bigger releases we get the option on the digital versions for commentary tracks now. I'd loving love it if netflix or amazon had an option to stream with commentary though. Stupid_Sexy_Flander has a new favorite as of 14:27 on Aug 31, 2019 |

I like when people say "A defenseless child" like it would have been any better if he'd given the kid a sword first so he could fight back.

The only defense against a bad kid with a gun is a good kid with a gun. Also if it's a kid shooting a kid it makes it less awkward for the adults.

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:What's the story behind either of these? To bring everything full circle - the director of Dog Soldiers, Neil Marshall, also directed the Game of Thrones episode Blackwater (and Watchers on the Wall), and the directors commentary on that has Peter Dinklage making fun of Lena Heady for not drinking. He also directed a post-apocalyptic cannibal movie set in Scotland, which has probably the greatest scene in cinema history:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XN7uqQnAxIc
