MechanicalTomPetty posted:You sure that wasn't The Howling 2? Also I only knew Christopher Lee from LOTR and SW at that point. So in my mind he’s about as high brow of an actor as you can get. So it was real shocking to see him in such trash. I later became a big fan of Hammer movies and got a better overview of his career, and it’s still the worst thing he was ever in. Also not posting the whole title is a real disservice to everyone. It’s The Howling 2: Your Sister is a Werewolf.

I saw it on a Saturday night double feature the local ABC affiliate used to run when I was in high school. Probably in 2005. It put me off so bad I didn’t watch the original until a few years ago. And YOU do a disservice by not referencing its original theatrical title, Howling 2: Stirba Werewolf Bitch

The sequel to Plane (the Gerard Butler/Mike Colter action movie) was originally supposed to just be called "Ship" but the producers are cowards and changed it to "Plane 2: Stowaway."

Yeah, it is unrepentant halloween'ish with all that entitles -the holiday not the movies- and it is brilliant for it. Sequel still seem to be pretty far along in talks, but haven't heard of filming starting yet, and with how long it's been in talks, not going to believe it until film starts getting shot.

what i remember most about brightburn is that billie eilish's "Bad Guy" had become a huge hit about two months before release and so they had "Bad Guy" play over the end credits (and in all the ads) in a way that was really dissonant with the actual contents of the movie that and the movie being extremely smug about its premise for no discernible reason QuoProQuid fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Sep 15, 2023 |

The Zero Punctuation guy summed it up pretty well when he put forth that Superman's most constant character traits are "morally unimpeachable" and "built like a brick shithouse" so in the Silver Age especially you could only shockingly subvert the archetype with two kinds of stories: "Superman becomes evil" and "Superman becomes fat"

I liked Dog Soldiers. I also watched the She-Wold of London TV series back in the day. Even the season where they moved to Los Angeles and the budget got slashed even worse than it already was.

There’s a Todd in the Shadows end of year list and the intro to Bad Guy is about that movie.
