BIRTH/REBIRTH was cool, even if it felt a little like a drama with some hilariously gruesome body horror now and then. I appreciate a movie that tries to do some genuinely transgressive stuff like this one; continually getting yourself pregnant and aborting the baby as a reliable source of fetal tissue is loving GNARLY and this movie just sorta casually breezes past it like it's the most normal thing on the planet. I liked it, even if the ending felt a little flat.

I just watch Hello May Lou: Prom Night 2 and it was really fun. I've seen the original and I thought it was a decent slasher, but the sequel went in a different direction. I guess it's not really a sequel since it has nothing to do with the original, and they just added it to Prom Night for some reason. Michael Ironside was in it which is always a treat.

Mary Lou is here and she is going to squish girls in between lockers until spaghetti sauce goes everywhere. It's great and a good antidote if you have to sit through one too many "it's an allegory for trauma" elevated horror moodpieces.

Glad your safe CP but you know you now have to write a horror movie about the guy that hit you. Just like Stephen King did with that guy in the van.

Finally got around to watching Cobweb--it was a real wild ride; just ridiculous. Some really great atmosphere and aesthetic.  I liked the design of Sarah Cobweb, who I guess is not supernatural in any way, but just super limber and doesn't use conditioner huh It ended quite abruptly, and I guess they left it open for a sequel, which I do not think would be interesting or necessary, but I guess we'll see

Stink Billyums posted:just thought of a theme for october: movies you remember the vhs cover of from browsing the video store decades ago but never actually saw O I like this a lot. We just need to reshape it to be a bit more general. While each of those filled me with a little Proustian shiver, not everyone grew up sifting through stacks of VHS covers. Maybe a “watch it for the poster” kind of deal? Pick a movie entirely for the poster, VHS cover or thing like that and write a review specifically on how accurate the poster/cover is. Earnest critiques of how the robots in Chopping Mall don’t have knife-hands in the actual movie. They just have lasers, which are fine, but they’re no knife-hands.

Especially the MRI because you're trapped in a tube that makes ominous noises and before you go in they inject you with some color so they can see your veins better. CT scans are also neat because you're being blasted with radiation. FreudianSlippers fucked around with this message at 16:18 on Sep 11, 2023 |
