I liked Nepo Baby Daddy's film where businessman RoboCop fights one (1) rat.

Which is the Phantasm where they bring back Reggie’s legit good acoustic guitar skills? Did that pop back up in 3 or 4? That was fun and silly. Now I’m imagining a cross between Phantasm and Patriot. I think that would rule, but I might be alone.

If we’re talking straight up bad movies, the new Exorcist is terrible. It’s just straight up bad. Not funny interesting or anything. Come to think of it there was another terrible Exorcist that I nearly walked out of the theater on. I can’t remember which one but I think it had Stellan Skaarsgard in it. My wife and I talked it over and I think we decided to stay but it was a near thing.

Mandy actually lost me a lil once it transitioned into the whole EPIC METAL vibes more than like...striking colorful 70s creepiness (whereas that first half i was just like oh my god this is loving incredible). Not that I thought that stuff was bad, it just ain't my thing.

The cheddar goblin was the moment the tone shifted and it turned into some revenge actioner that was way less interesting

I think the entire loving movie rules and the cheddar goblin and following scene are some of the most real and poignant and lifelike portrayals of how devastatingly unfair and tonally horrible grief really is after a giant tragedy

Snooze Cruise posted:its funny how people suddenly moved on from wholesome to cozy/comfy, did someone sent out a memo or something? from a while back but basically: it's a marketing term invented by YA publishers/authors looking for a new market because their old one is finally starting to stick in the average consumer's mind as "poo poo that sucks." "wholesome" got ditched probably because it makes the reactionary sentiment behind the move too obvious if it seems like the people pushing it are either explicitly opposed to the things that make horror horror, or breathlessly proclaiming the arrival of something horror's been doing all along, it is precisely because they haven't read or watched anything relevant and are just trying to capitalize on an existing audience's good will towards the label

I kind of dig how the two halves of Mandy are in slight tension with one another, but there's definitely a vibe in the first half that's lost.

the back half of Mandy to me felt pretty coherent with the first half, although not as strong (how can it be? it doesn't have the whole Linus / Mandy scene). but the back half is Cage giving us THE MOST in an already insanely stylish movie, which, like... that's why i watch movies hahaha quickly edited for clarity alf_pogs fucked around with this message at 05:40 on Oct 19, 2023 |

It's just a switch from a focus on a sort of semi-romantic human vulnerability to something more mythic. Schwarzwald fucked around with this message at 05:29 on Oct 19, 2023 |

I'm gonna say both halves of Mandy are necessary. The back half wouldn't make any sense without the first and the first half would feel incomplete without the second.

Mandy is also sort of an inversion of Beyond the Black Rainbow, which starts with high mysticism and several sequences that are almost completely abstract and then ends with an escape to the mundane world and the villain defeated by the power of BOOM rock to the head.

I have such awesome memories working in college radio. I would constantly play stuff just to pop myself since it was me and a handful of others listening and I got to play anything that resembled electronic music. Had a great time doing an all darkwave and horror set during October. I feel like I'd do even better nowadays with how much more I know about music and movies. I'm glad radio collectives like SomaFM do seasonal programming like their dark ambient station this time of year. Internet radio and weird college and independent stations are the love of my life.

When I did college radio one of our most loyal listeners was the guy who worked the ticket booth at a porn theater across town, he'd keep the radio on all day and called in frequently requesting Slayer. One semester I went in to do my show on Thanksgiving morning and he called in and we had a nice chat about the kinds of people who go to porn theaters on Thanksgiving morning. "Well, there's this pervert here. Yeah, what do you want?"

how did people here like The Outwaters? watched it alone very late last night with all the lights off which kind of felt like the ideal setting. kinda mixed on it but when it was good it was very good and while it never really scared me per se it did give me some hosed up dreams i can't quite remember.

There are some arthouse films like Skinamarink, Outwaters, Beyond the Black Rainbow, Heck, etc that you can definitely appreciate the cinematography the director tried to get across that really needed something more compelling to use all of it. I really like Mandy but couldn't really get into Outwaters just because Mandy felt like it had direction. Kind of like Eraserhead and Cabinet of Dr. Caligari versus Outwaters (unfair). They at least had something they were driving towards.

I saw The Outwaters in the theatre and it definitely lost the audience after about ten minutes of the flashlight stuff. There were a few really good moments (the visit back home and the moment on the wing of the airplane have stuck with me) but there was way too much of him just stumbling around going "uhhgngnhghn unhn gugnnhngh what's happening ugnhngnhn" and the self-castration at the end got laughs, as did the screaming worms. It was the opposite of Skinamarink for me - Skinamarink only got more frightening the more I thought about it, while The Outwaters just kind of deflated.

The Outwaters definitely couldn't match Skinamarink for me, but the two together did help me figure out that while my stance towards the trappings of the found footage subgenre could most accurately be described as "hostile," I actually quite like first-person cinema. So one benefit The Outwaters had for me was that it pretty steadily and without interruption got better as it went, as it pretty much dropped any pretense of being found footage for a purely subjective experience.

The Empty Man is fun because it's basically an uncredited remake of The Bye Bye Man, but actually good instead of just ironically good. Anyway they both kick rear end, someone should program a double feature.
