Hey I still wouldn’t watch it and bite sized isn’t the format for serious stories but I think if they went for creepypasta stuff or animation it had a shot with the people who are growing up as ipad babies

Punkin Spunkin posted:How is the League of Ungentlemanly Warring Gentlemen or whatever? I actually thought his Jake G Afghanistan movie was OK if incredibly bland, I just can't stand Comedy Ritchie anymore, thought that one with Matthew McConaughey selling weed was aggressively bad. I'll know more on Friday, but honestly I havent been too impressed with him either lately. Even Wrath of Man while having some really cool action set pieces was bogged down by a flat script and too long of a runtime. This new one at least has a cast I like and Ritchie cooks when he has a band of chuckle heads throwing snappy dialogue at each other and is filled with over the top comic violence. So I've got some hope this new one will float my boat.

Saw Abigail last night at a critics screening and thought it was really fun. BUCKETS of blood and gore, some actually funny humor, and there's more to the plot than the trailer that seemingly spoiled it all. I don't think it was anything groundbreaking, but it was enjoyable, total B or B+ movie horror movie. I'll be interested to see some discussion in the future on if the studio hosed with the movie a little bit before release. There's just a couple things that screamed 'studio interference' to me (including a lot of the blood and gore being desaturated or color-shifted to brown-ish for some of the more ridiculous scenes) that make me think maybe the studio or the MPAA made them pull back a little bit. But it does still have some bitchin' gore, some really fun performances, a handful of funny moments, and a little girl ballerina vampire. It was a good time!

this could be good but is not at all what I thought it'd be based on the synopsis; I'll spoiler it just in case there's a twist that makes that more accurate "A man and his daughter attend a pop concert where they realize they’re at the center of a dark and sinister event." based on this, I kinda thought the premise was that the pop star was evil and was going to sacrifice the audience during the concert as part of an occult ritual, or something to that effect

I have a theory about what's actually going on in this movie.

Basebf555 posted:They were really building something too with 5 and 6, which is what makes their decision even more baffling. It was totally in their self-interest to support Barrera, but they just really really wanted to step on that rake. Yeah it’s pretty rare for a franchisee to be building up a whole new generation of the story with connections to the past. And I thought they were doing a decent job. The films felt like they were doing something instead of just being another cash grab repeat. But now they flushed it and I dunno. I’m still such a massive fan of Craven and the franchise that I’ll probably watch the new one but at best we’re back to square one of “what’s the point?” Plus with the baggage of bad real life poo poo.

M Night never gives twists away early, let alone in trailers, so good on him for having a red herring there. And yeah the synopsis is very different/different enough from what's seen there that something's obviously up Trailer looks great from the fake-twist on. Here's to hoping it's better than Old

Good to see https://twitter.com/Variety/status/1781023682053407212 quote:Several “Scream” actors, including Mason Gooding, David Arquette, Matthew Lillard and Skeet Ulrich, attended the Los Angeles premiere of Barrera’s new horror movie, “Abigail” Wednesday night. “Abigail” is helmed by “Scream” (2022) and “Scream 6” co-directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, known collectively as Radio Silence.

It's a premise with enough to it to just be a tense thriller without needing much more complications and Shyamalan doesn't always have those massive premise recontextualizing twists nowadays.

If you aren't watching the Chucky TV show you really should be. Chucky is manipulating the President's son by pretending to be the spirit of his dead baby brother. And why is he doing that? Because he's dying and, after a failed ritual sacrifice at the Amityville House, decided that the White House is actually the house with the most murders directly related to it. It rules and this last episode REALLY upped the craziness.

I actually quite enjoy Shymalan's later career embrace of schlock. He had to stumble a few times (a few too many times probably) to disabuse himself of the notion he's a genius auteur, now he just makes fun nonsense.

Shyamalan has always had Spielbergs eye for directing the hell out of a thing, he crafts suspense just with framing. The early-career comparisons were well-earned. The problem is he got high on his own supply for like a decade and once he started adapting the (much better) writing of others (Old, Knock at the Cabin) he finally flourished. Don't love that he wrote this, it is very clear that the dad being a killer is NOT the twist, just like The Village there's gonna be a dumb second twist

It seemed to me like Shyamalan freaked out after the failure of Lady in the Water and The Happening, and made his situation worse by going for more traditional blockbusters(Last Airbender, After Earth) in response. He was like ok my personal brand has taken a hit, let me sign on to direct some big movies based on established commodities so I can get myself back on the horse again. And it backfired so then he was really at rock bottom.

Also his whole thing about "I'll only ever direct 10 movies" is predicated on how he maintains Kill Bill 1 and 2 aren't seperate movies, and I refuse to dignify that stupidity by going along with it.

Doesn’t matter to me one bit Also who cares if he only makes 10 movies. He’s right a lot of classic directors start turning in garbage movies late in their career. So it’s fine. He’ll make tv shows and books and that’ll be cool

Spielberg wants to make movies but I don’t think it’s unfair to say his output has been bad to mid as of late. Even tho I did love the fablemans. Ready Player One felt like a film by some hack journeyman than a film from one of cinemas greats

I know he's trying to avoid the twist stereotype but that movie just explained what was happening, it happened, and then it was over. There should have been at least a little doubt that Batista and his group was lying about the apocalypse.

I like auteur perfectionists but I also really admire the more blue collar directors in that John Ford tradition where you just keep pumping out movies and then you look at their filmography and it's like goddamn this guy made 100 films in 40 years! So that's why I don't begrudge someone like Ridley Scott for continuing to make movies that maybe aren't always great. It feels like a connection to a past era in Hollywood that probably goes extinct once Ridley's generation is done, which is mostly already the case because Ridley is one of the last left.
