Why does the poster for The Baby advertise itself as a comedic sex romp, when it's only that if you're Rich Evans?

Are you saying movie studios should make their movie posters only to appeal to rich evans? Seems like would be an odd move on their part.

The Last Drive-in with Joe Bob has a good episode for The Baby. That was the only way I could watch it.

Ever since hdr screens became common, subtitles have become really distracting. Having a bunch of white hot letters fill up the bottom third of your screen looks bad and people should turn them off. It is not like any of that poo poo is worth reading anyway.

This sounds really loving dumb, especially considering the video game was a disaster.

went to the alamo to see "the last stop in yuma county" from freshman director francis galluppi. a strangers-in-a-room desert crime thriller that wears its influences on its sleeve (coincidentally, it's almost thirty years to the day since the release of tarantino's "pulp fiction").

it was middling, and I'm baffled by the positive reviews it's getting. the references to tarantino (and specifically pulp fiction) are crassly obvious, yet the dialogue and editing have none of the pep. there's very little tension at any given time; the characters are exactly what they are shown to be from their introduction, and none of them are interesting. there's no intrigue or politicking between characters, nothing to drive the scenes forward. when the big powder keg goes off it feels lifeless. gave me flashbacks to bad times at the el royale, except this is even more bland.

it looks really good; shouting out dp mac fisken and production designer charlie textor for a superb display of their abilities, since the look of the film is the only thing you can latch onto as enjoyable. I can so clearly see the good version of this film in my head, the only they needed to change was the edit.

you're giving me flashbacks to a terrible movie that I barely remember

it was in the early days of free movies on On Demand, and I was all excited for this everyone-wakes-up-in-this-room no-one-is-who-they-seem possible cube knock-off
instead of no twists there were too many twists to the point that it was hard to follow and impossible to care about
I think the entire thing was filmed in a single room of a disused factory or water reclamation plant or whatever but I mostly remember it as a blur of yellowish-brown color grading and disappointment

all in all I do not recommend whatever movie it is I'm thinking of

just watched I Saw the TV Glow as part of the seattle international film festival. i liked it but was disappointed with the ending. the q&a with Jane Schoenbrun was decent but short. Cool visuals, cool soundtrack, good acting, crazy cameos (fred durst!), but didnt blow me away.

Kojima all made sense for me when I realized he's just the Japanese mirror image of a western weeb.

I think there's strong evidence that Konami in general maybe was full of reverse weebs. someone there clearly had the tape hookup for every Arnold movie. I imagine that's how we ended up with silent hill having kindergarten cop textures. they did a lot of games based on western properties too. could it all have been kojima influence? ....yeah maybe
