Demolition Man still looks really good today for a movie made in 1993 and they had a pretty realistic version of how technology would actually look in 2032 and were dead on about a few of their predictions. No contact greetings, Zoom meetings, etc Most movies of that era had predicted poo poo like flying cars, teleportation and all that by the 2030s. The most we'll probably have by then is ugly Tesla Cybertrucks

I mean a lot of the tech is still out there (Walls with anti graffiti lasers, cryo freezing prisoners and uploading skills into them before they're thawed) but for the most part for being made 30 years ago they held back quite a bit and were way closer than most would have been unless those things become reality ten years from now somehow. I mean Elon Musk is already working on a chip you put into your brain to stop seizures, erase bad memories and multiple other things when he's not too busy shitposting on twitter.

yeah that's why I kinda concerned nearly all our SciFi output these days is dystopian capitalist hell holes. I don't want that. I want more poo poo like the Jetsons.

I went to one of their stores, looked over the vehicles. Nearly everything in the menu on the screen was marked beta. And they have so much plastic cowling over poo poo I'm almost convinced the mechanics are cheap as gently caress parts barely rated for automotive use. I've been around automotive manufacturing almost all my life and it blows my mind what a fuckin smokejob those Tesla cars are. They're deathtraps.

Jump scare is a neutral filmmaking tool, it's neither good nor bad. It's all about the execution.

I think the one in Insidious is really good, something about the sunny day time scenery makes it even more shocking., same with Mullholland Drive's

Really twisted faces always gently caress me up for some reason I think I mentioned it before but that scene from the ring with the gnarly face jump scare out of nowhere was just disrespectful to my brain

Mr. Carlisle posted:Really twisted faces always gently caress me up for some reason I still think the Ring is the scariest movie i've ever seen, and the scariest of the entire series (including the book). I have never been so unsettled by a film, the horrendous tape with the writhing insect people and the mirror, and definitely the horrible twisted face. I love Naomi Watts and she takes the movie from pretty good to great, just a phenomenal actor

There was another set of twisted hosed up faces - I want to say it was the Exorcism of Emily Rose? I could be wrong. But yeah, that movie got me too.

Yeah, it's not just the surprise popping out of nowhere, it's the tension of the preceding five minutes of the movie dramatically snapping as it's modulated the tension level up and down in those five minutes. The part when they're talking in the diner brings the tension up and they pay and leave, but then it cuts to the outside and it starts ratcheting the tension back up as they come around the corner and start walking to the dumpster. It's masterful filmmaking. I had the pleasure of seeing Mulholland Drive in a theater maybe a year or so again and it was fantastic.

when something is very scary, my trick is to start yelling at it. And make fun of it loud. try screaming things like, "get the gently caress out of here, dumb rear end! you're stupid!" at the top of your lungs the next time you get "jump scared"

My favorite type of scares is when some scary poo poo is in the background that you're not even sure if you saw. Pt was pretty good at that

The first season did a lot of that very well. I’m not sure how it holds up after the whole slender man thing kind of entered the greater cultural zeitgeist, but at the time it was very compelling.
