Fil5000 posted:That just reminds me of the Modron dungeon in Planescape Torment. The modrons are trying to understand why people go adventuring so they've made a maze to observe people doing a dungeon crawl. You find an item labelled "a clue" and when you read it it says "you now have a better understanding of what is going on". I love Modrons. Both the newer designs:  And the original even GOOFIER designs:

Ghost Leviathan posted:There's a lot to love about that movie even if, like me, you're too much of a baby to actually watch horror. The whole ship interior looking increasingly like some kind of eldritch Satanic temple, with the core looking like an imprisoned wheels-and-wings angel. Gives the impression that while designing it they realised it needed all those features to work and didn't realise what they were actually building. Closest thing we're ever getting to a movie based on the first Doom games

FFT posted:Wasn't it Laurence Fishburne's character, too? Pre-Morpheus going "nope, gently caress this, gently caress that, let's get the gently caress out of here." That was legit hilarious the first time I saw it. Because in pretty much all of these horror movies where the house is possessed or blood starts dripping down the walls or something insane, the characters refuse to leave because they sank all of their money into the house, or they have no or else to go, or any number of things. This captain gets it! I just wish we had pictures of the ship before it disappeared. Because you can't tell me all of those spikes and crazy things were used beforehand. Everything about the ship event horizon screams out don't go near me, and especially don't go inside me!

Phanatic posted:Literally this: And yet on the flip side, that's why the movie get out does so well too. Because there's so many little hints of foreshadowing and you swipe it away saying oh, they're just racist. I mean that's bad. But this is a horror movie so I'm pretty sure they're going to like chase him with a shotgun or something and he'll escape. But on rewatch and rewatch you see that there is so much more going on that you know isn't right, but it doesn't seem quite on par with a screaming hell ship. Bonus points to one of the visitors feeling up Chris's arm while telling her husband what a handsome and strong young man he is, and the daughter Rose even has to call her out on it and that kind of whisper of hey that's enough. Same with Nope. Alien abduction movies can run from scary to funny, but I don't ever recall one as strange as nope. But the character OJ in that, freaking genius when it comes to animals, hopeless when it comes to humans.

Wasn't that scene in event Horizon actually cut down quite a bit? I remember seeing some kind of making of the movie, and they hired professional s&m people to do that scene and the original version was way longer and way more gratuitous.

Some of the lost footage includes a great deal more of the Bosch-influenced Hell sequences and of the orgiastic video log that was found in the Event Horizon. These were shot by both director Paul W.S. Anderson and Vadim Jean, mainly on weekends. The video log took a month of preparation and about a week to film; according to producer Jeremy Bolt, real-life amputees and porn stars were dressed in extensive make up to make the sequence as grotesque as possible, figuring that "if you're going to go to hell, you've really got to do it. You can't tap dance." The infamous "bloody orgy" video was also much longer. Parts which are still in the scene, like one of the crew members sticking his fingers deep into other one's eyes, and a female crew member sodomizing a male crew member with iron pipe, were even more violent in original version of the scene. There were also a lot more extended shots of the Event Horizon crew naked and covered in blood having violent sex and raping and eating each other; a more graphic version of the scene where a crewman pulls his own intestines out of his mouth, one crew member is held and stabbed in back of the head with spike and part of his mouth and teeth pop out, another crew member is crawling on floor while others are hitting his legs with steel bars smashing them to pieces as he screams in agony and crawls away leaving bloody pieces of his legs behind, one woman has screws drilled into her teeth, another woman is restrained while one of her arms is broken and torn off with a hunk of metal, one more woman has her breasts mauled and then ripped off and eaten by another crew man who is raping her, another partly-clothed, blood-covered women biting into the shoulder of a man she is having sex with and eating his flesh, plus some other parts of the scene were also cut. The reason why this scene disturbed the test audience was because the filmmakers, in order to make the scene look more realistic and therefore a lot more violent, hired real-life amputees for the practical special effects scenes where the Event Horizon crew members had their body parts damaged in many ways, and porn actors were hired to make the sex and rape scenes more graphic. According to producer Jeremy Bolt and director Paul W.S. Anderson, during the screening of a rough cut of the movie, some audience members started fainting while watching this scene. During the filming, some of the film crew actually left the set after feeling sick. Uh, thanks, IMDB Trivia section...

Call me a party pooper but I think That Scene has pretty much the perfect length and amount of stuff shown. Sometimes less is more and a longer scene would make the "We're leaving" a bit awkward. Like, we're leaving... woah no wait, that guy is eating that other guy's spleen!

No he was in his jumpsuit when he showed that he'd ripped his eyes out, but then they shot him out into space and killed him. Then the ship resurrected him and I don't know if he's ever shown below the waist. I know his chest and arms are naked other than a bunch of cool carved satanic glyphs

Can we all just admit that the event horizon had an amazing cleaning crew? Because there wasn't a single sign of anything that happened on that ship. I do remember out of everyone in the crew, the only one that was vaguely nice to Sam Neil's character, was the woman who had the hallucination about her injured son calling her. Pretty sure that was the only person he actually seemed upset about that the ship killed. Then again, I think he went pretty crazy after that so maybe he would have grieved over some of the others, but I think most of the others are pretty jerks to him.

Yes it would be horrible to have your intestines pulled out and be played alive by one of your.also insane astronaut buddies, but imagine when all that's done and the crew was all dead, now you have to clean up the entire mess for the next group.

I recently watched Pandorum and it was a lot more fun than I was expecting, I ended up really liking it, except one thing at the climax: The big colony ship the movie takes place in is discovered to be crash landed in the ocean of the earth like planet they were going to colonize. Okay, I can buy that a colony ship carrying literally the last vestiges of Earth life would have a pretty strong hull made of freaky space composites, I can buy it not immediately getting crushed into a tin can. Where I have far more trouble suspending my disbelief is that when the obligatory Space Madness Captain shoots his space gun in the bridge and cracks the glass, allowing water to stream in, they’re all just standing in it like an unpleasant shower when in reality they’d pretty much be bisected by the pressure streams.

Now I want a sequel where the Event Horizon just doesn't give a gently caress and the people entering it for plot reasons find the whole Hellraiser shebang set up and working. And they still wont have a moment like Captain Fishburne in part one. What I want is Tucker & Dale vs. Event Horizon.
