Auto Focus owns. Glad to see Schrader made it back with First Reformed and Card Counter.

Norm special is good. As they say in the commentary afterwards there’s certain beauty and humor in his entire process. The killers, the duds, it’s all part of norms wild ride.

Auto Focus, First Reformed, and The Card Counter, are all completely amazing. Watch The Canyons if you want to see the sewer into which Hollywood flushed Lindsay Lohan. It's on Showtime!

Jose Oquendo posted:Autofocus is on The Roku Channel (which has been quietly getting good content. Saw Drag Me to Hell on Hulu and honestly I wish it had more Raimi ridiculousness and stupidity. It's almost enough. You've got that Evil Dead DNA, it's very nearly just flat out horror comedy, grotesque and hilarious and straight up Looney Tunes...but it's also kinda just trying to be a 2009 horror movie and that's the stuff that makes it kinda snoozy and basic when it isnt working. It's kind of just okay. Also having Justin Long in your movie Drag Me to Hell and not having him tortured, harmed, or dragged to hell...that should be a crime. Speaking of Paul Schrader, Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters is on the criterion channel and it's as gorgeous and fantastic as ever. His best film maybe.

TBH I'm a bit neutral on Sam Rami but imo Drag me to Hell is the best thing he has done by a long shot (no pun intended :/). It's got that wacky comedy element but is also actually a decent horror movie. Most of his stuff is way too campy and cheesy for me. I actually like the Evil Dead remake more than the original don't @me.

I've been watching a 80s horror doc "In Search of Darkness", and there are a ton of movies I've never even heard of. The best thing is most of them are available on Tubi!

But if you want something that fits the original description and is not a comedy, track down a subbed version of Lars von Trier's "Riget" (The Kingdom) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5McczZo-u4o

Raimi-chat, The Quick and The Dead is on Netflix, which can't be my favorite of his, but its not because I don't love it to bits. Just a perfect, ridiculous Western.

If you loved Bo Burnham's Inside special on Netflix, or haven't seen it yet: watch/rewatch it And then follow it up with the Outtakes Bo just uploaded to his Youtube overnight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XWEVoI40sE A new and just-as-fantastic hour of content with a, dare I say almost as great, alternate ending to the special where he sings about a chicken crossing the road

Field Mousepad posted:Army of Darkness is a goddamn masterpiece and I will die on this hill Army of Darkness was my entry into Sam Raimi. Rented it from the Super Duper Video because I read a review of it from Roger Ebert who had the following line: quote:Ash, you will recall, lost his left forearm in an earlier film, and has had the stump modified to act as a mounting for a chainsaw. He fires a shotgun with his right hand, and in case you're wondering how anyone could load a shotgun with a chainsaw, the answer is: It's not necessary, because the shotgun never needs loading. They could have fired up the searchlights and had a 40 story flashing neon arrow pointing to the VHS box and it would have been less effective on me than those two sentences.

RRR is a loving blast, and as ridiculous as anything you've heard about it, but it definitely also does as much for Hindu nationalism as Top Gun did for the Navy.
