I finally got around to seeing Malignant last night and, drat, that's my kind of wild grand guignol. Love a flick that still has me internally hooting the next day. Tonight will be a rewatch of Bug. Is Messiah of Evil the one with the coughing up creepy crawlies scene?

Hollismason posted:Cruising is real problematic film. I mean I like it but its got some issues. I'm not sure how you can have a problem with Cruising but not with Killer Joe. They're both based around bastard cops, but at least in Cruising nobody uses sex with their own sister as collateral.

Chris James 2 posted:The director of Fried Barry made a remake of Street Trash that's coming out next year Hell yeah, Fried Barry rules. Street Trash has amazing goop but it has aged very poorly IMO, a modern version with less rape and racist jokes would be cool as long as they stick to practical effects e: also obviously they need to keep in the scene where they play monkey in the middle with the guy's severed dick

Agreed on that, but I don't see much point in remaking it if they're not going to fight over a severed dick. efb

Chris James 2 posted:The director of Fried Barry made a remake of Street Trash that's coming out next year Normally I say no to remakes on principle...but considering what Street Trash was and the people involved this is promising to be more like The Thing or The Fly in terms of "remakes". Hopefully it's just a title and a vibe and maybe some shared ideas. Keep the goop, lose the racism. I'm a big Fried Barry fan so consider me excited.

Killer Joe made it so I can never look at cans the same again. I haven't even watched it in a while but just thinking bout that movie is rough. Everyone in that film is playing a Dumb Motherfucker (and a couple members of the cast dont really need to act to achieve that) but wow Thomas Haden Church might be the master of playing Dumb Motherfuckers.

Halloween Jack posted:I liked Cruising a lot, but I don't know how to feel about it. Because the film is literally a hate crime, if the staff at The Manhole are to be believed. William Friedkin got a gay bar raided so that he could go in and take reference photos to recreate it for the film. Jesus. Even by the really low opinion I had coming in that’s really loving bad.

I've never heard that rumor of Cruising. Like Friedkin filmed at actual gay leather bars that were owned by the mob. He didn't really need reference photos because he shot at the actual places.

I could see though if he needed reference photos specifically of a police raid, maybe he didn't want to wait around at those bars waiting for a real raid so he concocted one to save time. Pretty terrible if true.

He didn't really need reference photos because he shot at the actual places. From an interview with manager Wally Wallace in Drummer: quote:Wally Wallace: The film representative came into the Mineshaft maybe six months before filming. He wanted to do still photographs, but he said the ceilings were not high enough for a movie. I refused because we had a rule at the beginning about no photographs. We only let friends like Mapplethorpe take some...And then a couple of my staff got involved with the movie. Others on the staff didn’t want anything to do with it because it portrayed gays as murderers... There were other gay bars in the city, of course, but few to none like the Mineshaft. It was set up as an explicitly and exclusively masc-for-masc gay club that allowed hard BDSM on the premises. They let Pacino in to research his role, but balked at allowing any photography. Everyone please call me an idiot for reflexively calling it The Manhole. Jesus Christ.

Went to see Talk To Me tonight and got the full CINEMA EXPERIENCE (people on phones, 6 year old kids dragged by parents, someone getting in late and having to shuffle an entire row down because the first person who sat there got the wrong reserved seating, projector breaking down halfway through) but still enjoyed. Often a worry with the more serious/acclaimed horror that I end up actively disliking it, but yeah the comparisons to It Follows were good enough. That trailer for the new Exorcist beforehand though? Holy poo poo does that look like a complete garbage fire. Friedkin probably saw it and the ‘worse than Exorcist II’ possibility might have finished him off.

Really thought Brooklyn 45 was pretty shoddy (the dialogue and themes, movie as a whole, it was all pretty ehhh, very basic, and overall uncompelling for me) but I'm glad it worked for others. Gotta give em credit for ambition

Gave it a solid C. Was almost laughing at some of the dramatic monologues. Cool idea.

I mean I thought it was a great "bottle" movie. One real location and just relying on the strength of monologues etc.. I felt it worked. Its got a few weak spots but I thought overall everyone did a good job.

O it’s that time again, guess what I’m going to say : I think it would’ve been a better play. That kind of intimacy works a lot better in live theater. Still liked it. Everyone needs some Larry Fessenden now and again.

I appreciated it, not because it was amazing (it was on the better side of average), but because it knew exactly what it was and what it wanted to do. There's no massive stakes, nothing excessively flashy -- just some fun spooky moments, a fast enough clip to stay entertaining, and a good-rear end hour and a half runtime. I don't need huge masterpieces or big budget scares or whatever, just do something interesting, keep it moving, and wrap it up before it gets boring. It's the same thing I appreciated about Wrath of Becky and The Blackening this year, and what I hated about God is a Bullet and The Outwaters. Just keep the goddamn movie moving and interesting.
