Yeah. It has a gross af vore scene and it creeped me out. It showed way less then Nope did but I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

Crazy, I would never have guessed! Is it worth watching? (With the knowledge that I frequently post in the horror thread with you and so I am willing to subject myself to some real fuckin nonsense)

Also, never watch Attack on Titan if you dislike graphic scenes of being chewed up by a giant creature and realizing you are horribly still alive as its digestive tract mashes you, broken and shredded, down into a lake of stomach acid

Oh yeah no attack on titan is a no go for me.

Oddly enough Nope didn’t quite hit that same reaction. It kinda did and I was skeeved. But not as much as I’ve been from say stuff like that and The Final Prayer idk how to not spoiler that movie bc the whole movie is a FF movie that leads up to that lmao. If you know you know

Its kinda funny that people are talking about vore scenes in movies, because I had just watched Jaws 3D and there's a scene where the British nobleman adventurer gets swallowed whole and there's a shot from inside the shark's mouth and he's masticated until he becomes a red cloud. Then later on, in the film's climax, Dennis Quaid sees the guy's lifeless torso inside the shark's mouth with a grenade clutched in hand to setup the callback to the first film.

The true movie that hosed me up as a kid with that poo poo was goddamn shrek. So lord Farquad gets swallowed by the dragon and the movie ends.

But the home video dance party had a scene where he was very much alive still inside the dragon singing “staying alive” and idk man that was pretty gnarly to
me as a kid.

The part of this that was the most chilling to me in Nope wasn't the shots of the victims inside JJ, it was the fact that you could track it by the sounds of screaming.

Compare how loud the TMZ guy's screams are when he endos his bike, to how much louder they are coming from inside Jean Jacket

Exploration is ill-advised.
This movie absolutely goes all-in on its themes and symbology to a ridiculous degree.

I do wonder how much they might have been inspired by seeing one of those weird looking cameras and realising it looked like eyes.

Is that movie worth watching? Aside from the finale seems like there might not be a lot to it.

Saw the movie, it wasssssss alright? Felt like the high concept and emphasis on putting in thematic materials took away from the movie as a story. It’s fine as one of those films you watch over and over and dissect but for a Saturday matinee I was left nonplussed. I’m sure it’s good, but eh.

Also I don’t know what was wrong with the mixing or the acoustics of the theater or what but I had a hard time understanding what anyone in the movie was saying. Even Angel, the commercial/movie shooting people, and the director guy were often incomprehensible. Did anyone else have trouble with that?

The_Doctor posted:

Before I saw the film, I expected to get a full on horrifying sequence inside the ship à la Fire in the Sky. This was way worse :gonk:

I had no idea what the gently caress was going on. All I could see was people getting stuck in the worst bouncy castle ever. It was more confusing than frightening.

Maybe the line is different for different people but I thought the story at face value was engaging on its own

Alex Garland’s Men was one where the textual story suffered at the hands of serving the subtext

I had a similar problem with Annihilation

Spare batteries are pretty key.
I had no problem at all with the dialogue, and I usually use subtitles at home. So that was completely a "your theater" problem.



Also, totally agree that the digestion scene wasn't scary. Almost comical, except for the screams

It looks funny at first, then you start thinking about the implications and it becomes "oh no." It's the screams continuing on for so long and so loudly that pushes it into scary and makes you think back to what you saw and how screwed up that would actually be.

Michael Wincott was in a lot of movies in the 90s starting with the Crow. Like he still gets roles and such. Maybe he's just picky.

Yeah, he's got the same thing that Ethan Hawke, Stephen Dorff, and other actors his age have where there's a line when they're doing a movie for a paycheck and a movie because they genuinely want to be in it because of the director or cast.

I was under the impression that Michael Wincott was the one who was handling the gun when Brandon Lee was shot on the set of the Crow, which made me wonder if Peele brought him on as a specific reference to safety on a film set, but it was Michael Massee who was the unfortunate person involved in the Brandon Lee tragedy.
