It’s so dumb that people try to make movies that recapture the vibe of movies from the 70s. They should be trying to recapture the vibe of movies from 1999

Imagine a movie coming out today with the exact visual style and sense of cool as Dracula 2000. They would never do it, our hosed modern world is too cynical.

Putting a mirror in a hallway to trap Dracula because he casts no reflection so he doesn’t realize he’s walking into a dead end is insanely clever.

A little early to say mid-90s, but I just rewatched The Fugitive the other day for the first time in like 25 years, and it's still excellent. Great cinematography, great acting, a twisty murder mystery, and perfect escalation of suspense. The early 90s were some good years for some great movies.

Hey idiots, if the fake sidewalk you built for your actor to land on visibly bounces at impact, don’t show the moment of impact! Idiots!

Yeah but that was intentional. I'm talking about the part in Dracula 2000 where she's supposedly landing on a real sidewalk. She didn't even fall that far and she has vampire powers so we know she's fine, there was no reason to milk it for drama at all, let alone show the moment of impact.

1999 gave us Galaxy Quest and The Mummy, as well as Wing Commander and Wild Wild West.

In other words, it gave us tons of hits.

Regal Cinemas has reportedly removed the corny movie quotes intro from their movies.

Edit: AMC really hit some magical sweet spot of “so bad it’s good” with theirs. People are reciting Kidman’s lines along with her and cosplaying like her to the point that irony and sincerity are hard to separate

Not sure which but 100% sure it was either a war movie made before 1970 or a cowboy movie

The Orpheum was playing Metropolis with a live quartet today. It was extremely rad. The quartet had an industrial sound. They incorporated sound effects into to score. I’m probably gonna see them do The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari next month.

The only thing that kinda killed the magic was seeing Windows Media Player unpause the movie after the intermission.
