yeah I eat rear end posted:Evil Dead Rise: this could apply to all of the evil dead movies, but after just looking at the book, can you just...not? Don't read from it, don't play records from it, just put it back. If it was any good they'd be printing it on something other than human skin. Or at least the first record you make should be the one where you warn about reading the book. Don't make it the last.

The events of the Ash vs. Evil Dead TV show are kicked off because Ash brought a floozy back to his trailer and, in lieu of poetry, attempted to seduce her by reading from the Necronomicon.

Tenkaris posted:Interesting but perhaps the thought was about matching mouth movement because the teens in German are shorter like vier-zehn for 14, while 23 is drei-and-zwan-zig One of the action figure soldiers says it and I don't recall them having very detailed mouth movements to start with. Come to think of it I think with all the AI poo poo going on currently it's about due for one of those horrible 20 years later sequels.

You know, I was going to ask why no one ever tried, you know, just burning the cursed book, but now I realize... it's because Ash is the world's horniest idiot, isn't it? Also an IIMM about the Necronomicon in media: that the Necronomicon is always portrayed as a cursed tome that turns anyone near it evil/crazy. In Lovecraft's work, it wasn't, it was just a book written by a mad monk that, yes, it contained forbidden knowledge, but there were actually in-universe translations of it. Hell, there were multiple copies of it. The book itself wasn't evil, just if you did the wrong spells without taking proper precautions. It's like saying "reading from the Anarchists Cookbook will turn you into a flesh-eating zombie!"

He burns it at the end of the first one and the book isn't the Necronomicon but a different cursed book called Naturom Demento There's a big claymotion sequence where the book burning causes the possessed to melt into goop which was probably 40% of the entire films budget https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzv2EqTGG1w PURE CINEMA .

Yeah, Raimi and the Coen bros were/are friends and worked on a bunch of projects together in the early parts of their careers. Raimi co-wrote and was a 2nd unit director on The Hudsucker Proxy.

The Coens got their first feature made by following Raimi's advice and making a proof of concept and showing it to investors. Raimi made Within the Woods, a short Super 8 Horror film to raise the money for Evil Dead and the Coens made a fake trailer for their script Blood Simple. A fake trailer featuring their friend Bruce Campbell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9owNNoMRoxo

I watched the second Jurassic World movie, and... I feel like I'm a real dummy, like I definitely missed something. But -- is the idea here, that there is a giant volcano that will destroy the entire island. So the events of Jurassic World wouldn't have even fuckin mattered because these dumbasses built the entire facility right next to a volcano that was due to erupt in a few years anyway?

Road to El Dorado A Spanish character (from Spain) jokingly says that El Dorado must be a native term meaning big rock. That joke would only make sense if the guy was canonically (diegetically?) speaking English, rather than that just being a cinematic convention.

Jurassic Park has always been a 'man cannot tame the might and power of nature forever' story, but the World movies just completely gave up on any subtlety or craft present in the original and slapped on everything that metaphor could entail.

Shard posted:I love predator. I'm watching it again. But I am losing it over the idea that Dutch's team had to be tricked to do this mission. Unless I really misunderstand how the military works, why does Dutch get to pick and choose his missions? Or is his group a merc group that contracts with the military? I always took it as being that his team were requested by the General (and Dillon) and that they were being 'used' as cover to gain access to the enemy base. I don't recall anything that suggested that Dutch & Co. could say "gently caress you, General, we're not going to do it and there's nothing you can do about it", but I could be wrong.

I got some things that are annoying me in television! True Detective, Season 1. Apparently this kind of annoying quote, "time is a flat circle" isn't actually that old; it's based on old things but the quote is from True Detective. What annoys me is the term "flat circle." What the gently caress is a flat circle? A circle is already flat, so did he mean "a flat sphere," in which case he just means, a circle? Or was he saying that you flatten the circle down to the point where it just becomes a line, indistinguishable from another line? This quote loving sucks and people sometimes repeat it thinking they're being profound or whatever. Fargo, Season 1. What the gently caress tipped the cop lady to look in the washing machine? There was nothing off about it. She just walks into the basement and thinks, hey I wonder if someone stashed a murder weapon inside the washing machine, I'll just unscrew the back and pry it all apart. What the gently caress is this. Also, in the second-to-last episode, the fuckin bad guy's location is discovered how?? Because, entirely unrelated to everything else, a wolf happens to walk across the road? Give me a loving break.
