It rules

It fuckin does. Starts out grimy 70s cop show complete with wockachicka-style soundtrack, ends up with hairier-than-usual Sonny Chiba doing wirefu somersaults at a bunch of army guys in a rock quarry. It felt a lot like the anime OVAs that Space Channel used to play back on Friday nights in the late 90s, poo poo like Tank Police or The Time Etranger

Also watched Poor Things yesterday, and drat, that just revels in its bizzarity. It must be fun as hell to be Willem Dafoe.

It’s not my kind of schlock.

But I’m still resolute in my belief that Part III is the best one so I’m doomed to be in the minority. (Because you’re all wrong.)

Law Abiding Citizen is a really stupid movie but I was just thinking about how close it veers to being a horror movie but doesn't quite get there.

I think of it a bit like action movie Saw.

Watching the Dentist duology, it’s genuinely surprising to me that they got multiple actors from the first one back for the sequel. The first one had the feel of one of those horror franchises where every entry has completely different credits.

I haven't seen Poor Things yet but I'm glad it's sweeping as well. We don't often get horror actually getting recognition, and for all my many many qualms with the Oscars this year (and every year) that is pretty nice to see.

“The Oscar-winning Godzilla series” has a very, very ring to it.

Surgery scenes, Bella just going ham stabbing cadavers in the face...

I'm not saying it's full-on horror because it's primarily a fantasy but it's got enough body horror bits combined with some of the production elements and the way the score is constructed that it crosses the bar for me. I mean it's a riff on Frankenstein.

I'm genuinely annoyed at how little the Dentist movies make use of the excellent "horror movie about a dentist" premise.

It really feels like a premise that has so much potential but The Dentist movies seem to exemplify every negative part of the dark age of horror that was the 90s.

Popular culture has passed you by.
I guess The Predator is fine if you, like, don't pay any attention at all. On the surface it has all the elements of a breezy Shane Black action comedy you might enjoy. But if you even so much as think about how these elements fit together, it all falls apart. You're better off watching Nice Guys and imagining that Matt Bomer is a Predator.
