I've been trying to find out if this movie that I'm thinking of is an actual movie or if I'm just making it up -- It's (if it exists) a horror movie, the scene that I remember is of a man on a gurney, in a tunnel, and then an air-raid siren comes on and that's when everything turns evil/the monsters show up/etc. I haven't been able to find out anything about it by searching for it online, and all of the people that I've asked about it have had no clue. It seems like I'm probably making it up, and it's a hybrid of real movies (Jacob's Ladder/???) but I remember it really vividly and it seems like it's something that I saw. I thought I'd ask here, maybe someone knows.

I probably got the siren from Silent Hill then. It's so weird, though, like I even remember someone talking about the movie on tv, like one of those "SCARIEST MOVIE COUNTDOWN" type shows. I wonder how I got that memory if it never happened.

Magic Hate Ball posted:Yeah, it's really more of a pastiche to that general style. Also, am I alone in thinking that The Meaning Of Life is the best Python film? The humor is so wonderfully, uncompromisingly cruel. That one's my favorite. I especially love the universe song...!

935 posted:Why did netflix streaming decide to start carrying so many softcore porn vampire movies? Because they're cool  Really I like this genre a lot, it's an interesting mix of European arthouse aesthetics and, well, lesbian vampires or whatever. Edit: I'm talking about movies by Jean Rollin and the like, I don't know if there's been a recent resurgence of softcore vampire movies.

So when she went back to being a little girl she still remembered everything after that? I remember her going back in time but not her keeping the memories. That would actually be kind of neat since you'd retain all of your knowledge and everything, you'd be the smartest kid in the world.

caiman posted:While we're talking about labels we hate, is anyone else bothered when a movie is labeled as "art film" or "art house"? It really bugs me. No, I think this is pretty useful. My #1 movie-labeling pet peeve is when people differentiate between "movie" and "film". Ahhh the snobs!

caiman posted:How is it useful? What's the qualitative, defining difference between an "art film" and a "regular film"? I don't think there has to be any defining differences between the two, but "art film" to me speaks of the filmmaker's motivations more... a film made to be a work of art, vs. a film made to tell a story or entertain. These would be more non-narrative or experimental things, though of course that's not always the case.

caiman posted:Every movie I've ever seen at an "art house theater" has attempted to tell a story and/or entertain me. I can't think of a single exception. I could maybe see how heavily experimental movies like Un Chien Andalou could accurately be labeled "art films," but I still think there are better terms to use. The way I see it, film itself is an art form, so by definition every movie is an art movie. Why can't a movie made to be a work of art also tell a story and entertain? I didn't say that they don't. Movies can also be experimental without being totally abstract and avant garde. The two examples you listed I wouldn't think of as art films since they've got pretty standard narratives and aesthetics... though I also wouldn't guess that people would call them art films so who knows.

caiman posted:You guess I thought you implied it with: "a film made to be a work of art, vs. a film made to tell a story or entertain." Oh naw, I just meant maybe the true intention of the filmmaker... like, I wouldn't say that Pirates of the Caribbean was ultimately made to make an artistic statement, whereas Tree of Life which is also coming out soon certainly was, that sort of thing. So yeah, when anything slightly less... I wouldn't even say "mainstream" since both of those examples I'd call mainstream movies, so maybe just lesser-known, and especially foreign stuff is automatically labeled as arthouse that's weak. It does have its use as a descriptor though, I think.
