I think it's extremely weird that people who are taking shots at Poor Things (it's not just this thread) completely ignore the fact that the character's intellect and personality are also evolving rapidly. By the end of the movie she's taken up interests in philosophy and socialism and become a surgeon. (Also it's not even the most perverted Lanthimos film, maybe it makes the podium and gets the bronze.)

Okay so there's a whole thread for discussing Poor Things. Discuss it there. Also we don't need to ad nauseum respond to some goofballs bad take on the movie in this thread. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4051007

Two questions: Is there any chance The First Omen is any good? Is there a reason we keep trying to make Omen movies? The first one is a classic, but that's about it that's must-watch.

The Omen would make a good series ala Hannibal. Make it basically a cross between Hannibal and House of Cards, Damien is a young politician who is also the Antichrist and he's murdering his way to the top.

How would you distinguish him from any other politician? (Also that's the plot of The Boys, particularly if you're a Republican.)

I'm pretty sure on that 2nd or 3rd movie with the plate glass kill they specifically say in the commentary it was stolen from THE OMEN. I also like the sequels for following through on the concept.

Yeah, the original trilogy is great. I agree with the OP that only the first one is really, really good, but 3 has Sam Neill as the antichrist and it's amazing. Also, yes, people don't acknowledge enough how much Final Destination owes The Omen. Is it the second one where the scientist is cut apart by the elevator cables? That death feels especially Final Destination inspiring to me. I saw the remake in the cinema when that came out and I can't remember much about it at all, other than it felt pretty pointless.

The Exorcist made a surprisingly great TV series.

I think I was conflating the two in my head, but yeah they reused that more than once, didn't they? quote:i've mentioned this before but the bonus features on the DVD for Final Destination 2 are some of my favorite ever, I've seen the thing where they explain getting the bounce of the logs right like fifty times. Definitely one of my favorite FX BTS, up there with THE BLOB and a few others.

Yup, they are. I love that whole dumb series, so I'm totally on board. As for The First Omen, I'm a sucker for Catholic horror, so between that and Immaculate coming out within two weeks of each other, we are feasting for Easter.

It has to be a lot of fun coming up with the Final Destination scenarios. All the fake outs and deceptions. Like making a murderous Rube Goldberg machine that pulls a switcheroo at the end.

There's a sense of fun to the Final Destination movies that's absent in pretty much every Saw.

Hollismason posted:I like Final Destination series more than Saw series. Both 2000s horror series but I just like FD more. Cosigned. They're both franchises that, at their low points, become little more than showcases for elaborate kills, but FD doesn't need to half-heartedly tie those to some Machiavellian human antagonist so even the weak installments are a lot less ponderous than Saw's.

I see the similarities but they are really different series. I think both can be fun, I find the over the top soap opera-esque melodrama of Saw very enjoyable.

Night of the Living Dead will always hold a special place in my heart for having utterly perfect atmosphere and build, but there are times where Day becomes my favorite. The soundtrack, the climax, the themes...So drat good.

It is so weird that VS did a UHD of Massage Parlor Murders after they’d already done a Blu-ray. Is there really a big MPM fan base clamoring for an upgrade? It seemed like a totally unremarkable example of a 70s NYC tit movie.
