I have an issue with opening credits sequences in the late 90s/early 2000s more than anything else during that period. Even something like the opening credits of Se7en, which are celebrated to this day and considered one of the best title sequences, to me feels cheap and just not cinematic at all. I'm sure a lot of it is just me having grown up in the late 80s when simpler more elegant credits were the norm ala John Carpenter.

FreudianSlippers posted:A lot of big 90s to 2000s dance acts were just like the same five dudes in Sweden with random hired models in all the music videos and/or concerts. Early 2000s nightlife was often a blast but the sad part (in the US at least) was how hip-hop and electro segregated hard, especially sad coming after the 90s where hip-hop and house often crossed over. Clubs would actually advertise that they were a "No Techno" establishment, you pretty much had to go to a rave or a gay bar for any electronic stuff, and good luck getting a gay bar to play any hip hop then. It was nice that barrier came down later in the decade. The whole thing had an extremely uncomfortable unspoken "blacks vs gays" undercurrent, too. Felt bad for any gay black folks!

Yea the guest stars are the real draw of the show from what I've seen so far. Price, Pleasence, William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Dick Van Dyke, Janet Leigh, Robert Conrad, Ricardo Montolban, and a lot more that I'm forgetting. I like that's it's basically a 1 on 1 show, each week you get Columbo vs. the guest star and there really aren't a lot of other characters involved. It's not like one of those modern cop shows where there's ten different main characters.

Jamie Lee Curtis popped up in an episode I saw last week for about a minute as a waitress. That was about a year before Halloween. Was weird to see her in such a small role.

SidneyIsTheKiller posted:Thinking about TCM really was kind of the quintessential early 2000s horror flick aside from maybe The Ring, like that is right smack dab the moment in-between hip funny teen slashers and the torture porn era. And to the other posters point about the whole era being about who can dress the trashiest, the whole thing (TCM) feels like it was an excuse to make Jessica Beil run around in a wet shirt.

Pope Corky the IX posted:The Amityville series is hilarious to me because I used to live five minutes from Ocean Ave and every single movie gets the landscape wrong. The houses are pretty close together, not on sprawling properties as depicted over and over again. What's even funnier is that one of the reasons the murders were so notable is because the houses aren't that far apart, which made the fact that none of the neighbors heard anything all night creepy as poo poo. I used to work right there (on 110) and always think about that, also. As far as Long Island suburbs go it's not that dense, but still.

Weirdly TCM 2003 has the same DP as the original so I'm gonna be interested if you can get any sense of that amidst the era's aesthetic when I rewatch. I rewatched the original last night and it's still incredibly rad. It's often hailed as a film that uses documentary style camerawork but it struck me how artfully composed, smooth and dramatic a lot of the shots are. It's this great middle ground between something that feels real but also has a dramatic visual style. It's a scary film, but I still crack up at "Look what your brother did to the drat door!", his disdain is so palpable. The ultimate example of the nu-metal horror for me is the opening of Freddy vs. Jason, where it has a scored opening sequence until the title appears and then NU METAL!

2000s brought gore back to horror, which was needed. The 90s had a far worse aesthetic where everything was like Dawson's Creek except people died but in extremely non gross ways. I think it was House of Wax that was just like "let's bring 80s gore back," and it gets credit for that for me. I like how Texas remake looks because it's the same cinematographer from the first and he was like "let's make it pretty this time," and it is.

I'm sure a lot of it is just me having grown up in the late 80s when simpler more elegant credits were the norm ala John Carpenter. In the commentary track for Se7en the director (I think) talks about how they did the opening. He started out doing it the Right Way and all the work it was taking to line everything up with the images and make sure they were stable, then thought 'huh, what if we just don't do that?'. And that's how we got the scratchy jumping around credits that we did: quote:As Fincher explains, the opening credits came from a “practical place.” “Oftentimes, some of the most mundane things inspire,” says the director. His crew wanted to get Findlay Bunting, who shot the footage for the opening credits, a pin register camera, because they believed the titles needed to be steady. Fincher questioned this and felt that a shaky, uneven, dirty looking opening credits would fit closer to John Doe’s mindframe. The director also felt these credits gave the audience an awareness of how ugly the film would potentially get. e: Basebf555 posted:Yea the guest stars are the real draw of the show from what I've seen so far. Price, Pleasence, William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Dick Van Dyke, Janet Leigh, Robert Conrad, Ricardo Montolban, and a lot more that I'm forgetting. And not one but two episodes with Leslie Neilson  Once he was the fiance of the murderer, then a few seasons later he was the killer.There's also a very slow Colombo thread in TVIV, but some good discussions and recommendations still live there: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3920575 Irony.or.Death posted:I'm not even that much of an industrial guy it's just, like, how do you be a teenager and not spend a bunch of time listening to Too Dark Park? Absolutely baffling I still remember some ancient Web 1.0 site that detailed the way you could tell if you had the original release of Rabies or the corrected remix  (thunder sound effect was at the end of track 10 in one, beginning of 11 in the other).

Clearcut ruled, this is my favorite movie on the folk horror box set so far. Graham Greene is absolutely incredible here, he just oozes elemental menace while still somehow being charming.

I hope there are even more jokes about how Jordan Peele is the GOAT and that Babadook is the essential modern “elevated” horror classic.
