CelticPredator posted:Well he died It definitely did effect his career though, it's not like he died before he had a chance to direct something else. He had another directing gig all ready to go but the studio replaced him when they saw the bad box office returns for Night of the Hunter. So in the short term Night of the Hunter did prevent him from directing again, and then he died before another chance came around, which I'm sure it would have for such a respected actor as Laughton was.

I watched a gun for Jennifer today. A movie made in 1997 that looks and feels like an 70s/80s exploitation flick. It's about a gang of weapon killing/castrating abusive men.

Hell yeah Saw XI. If Tobin Bell is still down for these movies, keep cranking them out. It still stuns me that X was as good as it was. Like if someone said it was the best of the series, I wouldn't be taken aback at all by that take.

Perhaps a controversial take, but they should just reboot Saw, keep Tobin Bell, and not kill off Jigsaw this time.

Night Feeder whips rear end yallquote:The very first shot is a long, lingering look at a dead hooker, eye gouged out and in a pool of blood. With her titty out. So, like, that's what they decided to open with. It's lurid, it's patently offensive and it's artless trash, OK? But this movie kinda whips rear end though? It's Free! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt7t1ysCA74&t=8s

You would assume that, by now, the Saw franchise has reached that level where there would be Saw In Space. (See: Jason X)

Ok pitch. The next saw takes place in 2025 or whatever. Evil doctor lady becomes Elon Musk basically and makes a rocket to go to mars. She decides to stick it to John Kramer by keeping his ashes and using it for her cig ashes or kitty litter or whatever and brings it on her rocket A mysterious energy hits the rocket before it goes to the space station turning the organic matter back into John Kramer who then decides to do another game on the space station I don’t have a good pun title lol Misssaw to mars. Saw-pace station lol

TOOT BOOT posted:Perhaps a controversial take, but they should just reboot Saw, keep Tobin Bell, and not kill off Jigsaw this time. I'm pretty sure people involved in the series have said as much, that killing off Jigsaw so early was a massive mistake, and that's why X was so far back in the timeline, so they could just say "gently caress it, he's back".

I don't know which Saw it is, but the flashback to John Kramer meeting an author who claims to have escaped him is great. To make Tobin Bell appear younger they just have him dress like this: Also they should have the Cenobites resurrect him, God knows nobody's doing anything with Hellraiser right now.

Cenobites in an escape room seemed kinda fun until I realized they'd just enjoy all the traps and it would be boring.

Jigsaw should just show up and be played by Tobin Bell for the whole movie, make part of the film the mystery of how he's alive. Then at the end of the movie the cops catch up to him and he's like "I've got some new friends, officer," and the Cenobites help him escape in a pit of fire or something. That's a movie I'd go watch. The next movie would be him inevitably getting betrayed by the Cenobites and having to outsmart them, possibly by tricking someone else into taking the fall for him and getting dragged to Hell. Then you've got a resurrected John Kramer. This is still better than 90% of the Hellraiser movies and at least half of the Saw movies.

They already did "How are you still alive?!" with Jigsaw which hosed up the timeline and introduced yet another accomplice that was somehow missing from seven other films.

John Kramer should be the modern Dr. Phibes, you're never totally sure how he's alive and he starts hanging around a really fashionable lady who might be a demon. He can look at a picture of his wife every so often while having a bunch of Billy the Puppets perform a big band song behind him.

I don't wanna be a pest but just wanted to remind everyone that we're doing nominations for the 2024 Bracketology season. We'll keep doing them until Monday the 18th at noon EST and then we're gonna vote. So take part if you wish or lurk and vote quietly if that's your thing or ignore me. That's cool too. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4048730
