I'm starting my Alienated feature campaign tomorrow. I won't post the link here for uh, obvious reasons. SA's history with crowdfunding is very bad lol. I'll post an email you can email me at and I can make a big ol mailing list once I figure that out if you want to see how it's going.

Saltburn was really good right up until the last 10 minutes or so. Having it be implied that Oliver was behind everything would have been way better, the whole Keyser Soze bit just felt hacky and brought it down I support Barry Keoghan being a sociopathic weirdo in more stuff though, guy's like Steve Buschemi with lead energy

I think I had a rather atypical reaction to seeing Cat's Eye when I was little. I basically wanted my own mean little gnome that lives in the wall of my house.

I was too dumb and too young to understand how voice acting worked when I first saw this, but I liked the little gnome guy as well and felt like I recognized his voice from somewhere. Watching it again as a teenager was the first time I realized just how prolific Frank Welker is. It's also when I realized he's also the loving cat in that movie, too.

Yeah Frank's range is basically 1) every animal in everything ever 2) nibbler's gibberish noises 3) nibbler's very serious elocution voice 4) Dr claw/cave of wonders

My favorite anecdote about Frank Welker is from Rob Paulsen (and I'm paraphrasing) talking about when they were working on The Snorks and the director asked if Frank could make the sound of like, a "clam sneezing" and everyone being blown away when he did it. They had no idea what a clam sneezing should sound like, but all agreed that he had nailed it once they heard it.

It's a Wonderful Knife - the worst of the happy death day, freaky, totally killer trend in horror, mostly because the script. Felt rushed like it needed a couple more drafts to make the emotional beats better. Production was solid tho, love Justin Long as the hammy villain and the lead was good. There's some fun kills and a few decent gags.

Because of this thread I found out about Godzilla Minus One and decided to watch it in a fancy theater setup. (“XD” theater with “DBOX” seats, which I had never heard of). It was really really good. I’m so glad I caught it in the theaters. Those seats were really awesome for this movie, too.

Seeing Lost Boys in DBOX was awesome. Seats moved with the flying vampires and the under the train trestle was a blast.

On anthologies, one I haven't seen mentioned yet is Three... Extremes, which gives you one segment apiece from Hong Kong/South Korea/Japan. It's been on my mind a bit because I've seen some Park Chan-wook films recently and he's got one of the se gments.

It’s not much of an anthology, in the sense that it’s just three non-feature length films back to back, but each one of them is pretty good

Still gonna give it a shot tho why not, it's one of four or five movies to moviepass...I was pretty leery about it to begin with. But first, Minus One on Imax in half an hour....

It seems impossible but in a series with Takashi Miike and Park Chan-Wook, it's Fruit Chan's Dumplings that steals the movie IMO.

I only have a hazy (but favorable) impression of the others, but I remember the poo poo out of Dumplings. Didn’t love the feature though. The story didn’t need to be filled out.

Xiahou Dun posted:Not just any Japanese short : that’s a Takashi Miike. I almost mentioned Miike as well, I've just been more focused on Park. And, yeah, I guess there's no framing device, but Cat's Eye barely does aside from the cat appearing in all of them, and three or four stories is pretty standard. (You also anticipated my question about whether or not the Dumplings feature-length adaptation was necessary or not. It's also the segment I remember the most clearly, but it also seemed like the right length as is.)

Yeah, I’m not married having a little framing device, but I feel like that’s heavily implied by calling something an “anthology”. At least enough that I’d mention the lack in a recommendation. Really, I think the most important thing is just for stories to understand their own pacing. It’s the secret most important part of horror, and a lot of movies bloat themselves with padding. Sometimes a scary story is only going to be 50 minutes long and that’s fine.

Redwood Creek just launched their last restoration of 2023: Jean Epstein's 1928 The Fall of the House of Usher. It's historically notable because it was Luis Buñuel's first screenplay.

A fun anthology I watched for the first time this year was Tales of Terror. Great cast and you get a fun range of Vincent Price performances between all three shorts.

Was looking for any 2023 releases I may have missed and checked out Good Boy last night. It was a totally serviceable "girl meets boy and ignores serious red flags" movie but I was a little disappointed it didn't run harder with the premise. He could have basically been any kind of weirdo and it would have been the same movie.

What's the consensus on The Prophecy 2 and 3? There's a 4k set coming out but I've never seen any of the sequels. Although, as a physical media person, my experience tells me that when a box set gets released without the option to buy each film individually that usually means there's some garbage in there that they know wouldn't sell on it's own.

DTV trash, but not completely awful. Neither are as good as the first and that one isn’t exactly a classic to begin with. Walken is barely in 3 and I remember that one being pretty dull.

They’re okay and worth it if you want to see Walken continue to ham it up as Gabriel. The coroner (Kenny from Seinfeld) from the first one shows up in them as well.
