public service announcement: Mayhem is loving amazing Shudder has been on god drat fire lately with their exclusives, the only one I can think of lately I've disliked was Downrange and that was... mostly personal taste.

The Breadwinner recently went up on Netflix (Germany, but I think US should have it too). It's an animated film about a girl in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, and it's really loving good. Go watch it.

I have no love for Wall Street, but a lazy joke is still unfunny. Mayhem is the only movie I've seen this year that I disliked so much that I turned it off after half an hour.

Ali Wong’s new comedy special is up. It’s more of the same and not as good as her first special, but some of the later sections about motherhood and her struggle to “have it all” made me and my wife laugh. I don’t know of another comic who approaches that material with her POV. I figured it probably doesn’t pop up on a lot of peoples recommended, so if that’s your speed or you liked Baby Cobra you should give it a spin.

veni veni veni posted:Watched Stand Up Guys on Amazon, which is a Mob comedy starring Al Pacino and Christopher Walken and It's easily one of the worst things I've ever seen put to film. I was sort of in awe at how bad it was. Which I think is the only reason I didn't turn it off 15 minutes in. That's the one where Bill Burr was one of the bad guys henchmen, isn't it?

Prime has A Ghost Story, an excellent film. Only for people who can handle films with almost no dialogue that play merry hell with time and how you experience it in a film.

I remember reading the book, but I never saw the movie. & the first thing to scare the hell out of me was original the Salem’s Lot miniseries. In terms of movie I think it was either Phantasm or Motel Hell.

The first thing to scare the poo poo out of me was The Ghost in Mr. Chicken. I still can't believe it myself but I lost sleep for what felt like weeks over it when I was probably 5 years old. There are still parts of it seared into my brain. Nothing tops the Felicity episode of tales from the Crypt though. Goddamn that messed me up.

That part with the hedge clippers jammed into the bleeding portrait (right in the loving neck!) while the piano with the bloodstained keys plays itself? Yeah, that's tough to process when you're only six years old.

Wow I'm glad I'm not the only one. The funniest thing to me, is that at the end of the film, the murders/spookiness were all some sort of big prank on Don Knotts and everyone was ok. At least as far as my memory is concerned. And to this day I don't know if that is actually how it ended or if that was something I fabricated in my head to make myself feel better while I was hiding under the blankets.

I, Tonya is real good. The part where she looks at the camera and says, "You are all my abusers," is powerful. And Allison Janey owns in loving everything she is in. Tangentially... *Margot Robbie plays Tonya *Tonya's boyfriend is played by Sebastian Stan. *Sebastian Stan is the son of Mark Hamill. *Mark Hamill has played the Joker. *The Joker's girlfriend is Harley Quinn. *Harley Quinn was played by Margot Robbie. I just thought that was kinda amusing.

The joke is that Sebastian Stan looks exactly like Empire era Mark Hamill, and there has been some internet support for Stan playing a young Luke Skywalker.

I actually started to make my boys watch it with me earlier this year and had to let them go do other stuff because the movie did not age well, despite my terror of a second organ being played by hobo joe or whatever. And yes - the movie reveals all the horrors as gags and gently caress that noise I'm 99% positive that there's STILL somebody in the basement just waiting to prank me to death.

I have a tinder netflix date and I’ve gotta pick a horror movie to watch. I want something fun but also not so captivating we won’t want to fool around. So I’m thinking maybe Friend Request, but I don’t know if that’s even in “so bad it’s good” territory. Any recommendations for stuff like that on Amazon or Netflix?

Apparently I'm the only person who liked the new season of Arrested Development.  My girlfriend had never seen The Invitation so I watched it with her and man that is such a good flick. Even knowing what happened beforehand it was still great.

Field Mousepad posted:Apparently I'm the only person who liked the new season of Arrested Development. New season was... tiring. I binged through the first four before going to the new one. Seasons 1-3 felt absolutely breezy, season 4 (recut) was a lumbering mess and season 5, while not as bad as 4, was just kinda there. Arrested Development worked for me because it was a lightning fast attack of tightly constructed interlocking jokes. It was exhilarating how clever and effortless it all seemed. Season 4 and 5 don't have that. It's like seeing an uncle you haven't visited for decades and your last memory of him was when he was in his 30s. Now he's in his late 50s and he's starting to shuffle around, make weird noises when he tries to get off the couch and he calls the DVR his son, your cousin, bought him "the xbox" for some reason. It's kind of depressing, but you're still glad you came.
