You guys were slow on the draw this morning

Looks dope even if i usually don’t love real serial killers being involved in horror films.

Otherwise looks super good

Also Ralph inneson is the Goat when it comes to final fantasy Cids.

We shall dive down through black abysses... and in that lair of the Deep Ones we shall dwell amidst wonder and glory forever.



Finally getting somewhere where I can watch the Maxxine trailer properly :

This looks really good. And I say that as someone who was just firmly whelmed by X and Pearl ; they were fine, but not my slice of pie. For whatever reason this kind of stylization is jiving with me more.

Moderately excited to watch that when it comes out.

It’s weird as hell other countries have gotten the 4K UHD blu-ray releases of X and Pearl and the US hasn’t. I’m hoping when MaXXXine drops A24 will do a complete 4K trilogy drop

yeah they must be waiting for some $150 dollar set to drop.

That Stop Making Sense set was $70 for a 4K set of one movie. A24 is going to make this thing as overpriced as possible.

Not strictly horror but hey Jordan Peele produced it and I was deeply on edge the entire time: Monkey Man ruled, Dev Patel is great, some really gross violence and it's funny having this play in the room next to Godzilla x Kong

I'd hear slightly more about that. I've watched some trailers but that didn't communicate much beyond "Dev Patel punches people stylishly".

Yea with the second tier releases what we're seeing pretty often is a regular blu ray release and then maybe like 6 months or 8 months later you maybe get the UHD release and it might be an expensive boutique release. And by "second tier" I basically mean anything that isn't a AAA blockbuster, so most horror falls into that category. That's what happened with M3GAN, the 4k release was more than 6 months after the initial blu ray.

if they decide to do a bust of Mia Goths head and it opens up like that Alien Deluxe Anthology edition then I guess I'm tentatively in.

It's a violently anti-fascist action movie that's very heavy on Hindu folklore, very melodramatic (in a good way, to me), and has some spectacular, emotional action. You've seen a lot of these beats before but they're put together so well. I expected something like John Wick (which gets name dropped early on) but it's not really that at all, and good on Patel for striking a very blunt anti-genocide political statement at a time when that shouldn't have to be a brave move (looking at you Alex Garland)

That's a pretty legendary set so I imagine you'd have to drop some serious cash to own it these days.

Of course, part of the reason it's legendary is because of how wildly impractical it is, a lot of movie collectors don't like big bulky sets that can't fit neatly onto the shelf.

Oh man you should pick up the anthology Blu ray set. A few years ago it was going for 20 bucks at Best Buy and it has all the docs + new stuff and a restored alien 3 doc with the cut portion Wreckage and Rage that really goes in deep about the production

They also cleaned up the audio on alien 3 too by bringing back Weaver and Dance to re-record dialog

Might have to dig but it’s not super expensive

My sister-in-law recommended me a horror/mystery TV-series with the really bland title "From" that I'd never heard of, but it stars Harold Perrineau and I like him, so I've been checking it out.

The premise is people get stuck in a small town that's impossible to leave, and after sundown, creatures, who appear to be some kind of ravenous vampires that masquerade as kindly smiling people coming a-knockin', come out to kill anyone not indoors.

I'm on episode 4, it's entertaining and has some gory visuals, though I have very strong feelings all the mystery box elements (why do people get trapped? What are the creatures? Why are they held back by mysterious talismans one guy "found?") were written without any intent to resolve them, and apparently it's by some former Lost people, so that inkling is pretty likely justified. Still, might be fun for a single season.

From is great but it's the single hardest show to Google or search these forums to get options on haha.

From is solid. It gets bogged down a bit in S2 but it's fine. The real issue has always been its terrible name.

the last episode of the first season of From drove me nuts with how much it let plots threads dangle. is the second season worth a go if I didn't super vibe with the first?

S2 enters Lost territory where they keep posing more weird things happening but not a lot of explanation and ends on a similar cliff hanger. It focuses a lot on characters and the conflict between them instead of the overall mystery.

I'll pimp What If... Aliens from Marvel again if you like Burke. The plot is: Gorman's grenade went off close enough to Burke's cocoon to blast him free, and he was able to sneak back aboard the dropship while Bishop sedated Hicks. Once the others are in hypersleep he contacts the Company, and it goes from there. It's a really good look into Burke, written from a treatment by Paul Reiser himself.
