Kal-L posted:The only thing I disagree is that the project went wrong.For any war metric, it is very succesful. Unless it's in a civilian enviroment, then yes, it's a failure. Is it successful if they failed to contain it though? I would think that in a combat setting, it's entirely possible and even probable that David would cause massive collateral damage on both sides if let off his leash. I guess he could kinda be used as a bomb that way and not as a part of a team though.

I just wish there were a cut of this film that didn't have the stupid scenes early on that tip you off way ahead of time that Men In Black are looking for him. From what I understand those were added later and the director didn't really want them in there.

I would've thought the director put them in on purpose to strengthen the parallels between Lance Reddick and his character's overt reference to Nick Fury and SHIELD. In The Guest they're sitting at conference tables in shadowy, vaguely governmental organizations chartering secret flights and organizing strike teams to neutralize David. In the second Captain America film SHIELD designates Cap a rogue agent and organize strike teams to neutralize him. I enjoyed the parallels

Wait wait, Adam Wingard is set to do a remake of I Saw the Devil? That's a foreign film remake I'd actually be really curious to see. It seems like the kind of movie that Wingard would absolutely kill if he's given enough control over the project, it's so his kind of movie.

I finally watched 'You're Next' this last weekend, and what a nice take on the tropes of horror and home invasion movies. Not as good as 'The Guest', but I would consider it one of the best horror movies I've seen in the last 5 years or so. Glamorama26 posted:This first. Your first reaction should be 'yawn another kids in the woods movies'. Then you see Barrett is writing with Wingard directing, the movie moves to the top of your must see new horror movies. Also I don't want Wingard to do remakes. I just want him and Barrett to do their little projects. Fun fact I just realized today that Wingard was born in the town that I work in, Oak Ridge, TN.

Choi Min Sik & Lee Byung Kun are both great in ISTD, and even though you are all right about the runtime/pacing & missteps. some of the scenes crazy taxi 360 stabfest are downright amazing.

A lot of Korean thrillers have an extremely jarring but ultimately hilarious shift into a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

It's a movie that's less than the sum of its parts. There's lots of terrific scenes and great touches (as a minor point, I love that, when he lines up all the possible suspects, the right one is the second last guy, not the last one) but it somehow adds up to a messy movie that's way too long and left me pretty unsatisfied.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:A lot of Korean thrillers have an extremely jarring but ultimately hilarious shift into a Bugs Bunny cartoon. I'd actually forgotten that the director of the Vengeance trilogy directed Snowpiercer when I finally saw it, but I was reminded when people started pulling machine guns out in a schoolhouse after there was a big goofy singalong with kids. Although I guess the big fight before that was straight from the hallway scene in Oldboy. e: Also yes, I know that Kang-ho Song was in it too so that should've been a giveaway.

Park Chan Wook was just a producer on Snowpiercer, Bong Joon Ho was the director. He made The Host and Mother and a few other things

He made The Host and Mother and a few other things Park Chan Wook's best film is still, not Oldboy, but rather Thirst. It's on Hulu streaming, not sure where else. It's probably on YouTube honestly if you dig around, like most Korean films.

I like Thirst alot, but I lean towards Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance. That changes weekly for me, I really like all of Park's work honestly. I'm A Cyborg...and his short from 3 Extremes are great as well.

I loved You're Next and The Guest, but that teaser doesn't look like anything special at all to me  I guess I'll see what the big deal is when it comes out, I'm sure there's more to it than just "an evil [THING] is in the forest killing people".

King Vidiot posted:I loved You're Next and The Guest, but that teaser doesn't look like anything special at all to me To be honest I refused to watch You're Next at first, because I took it as another typical 'people trapped in their own house being picked off one by one by crazies' movie. It actually took seeing The Guest to get me to watch it. So I agree while it might possibly look very vanilla on the surface, the names attached point to it being a fresh take. nate fisher fucked around with this message at 19:41 on May 10, 2016 |

Loved this movie. The climax was really good. Soundtrack is awesome, but OP mentioning the 80s revival stuff and not Front 242, Clan of Xymox and DAF is a missed opportunity.

Just saw and really enjoyed The Guest. Note to all future directors: this is how you reference Alice in Wonderland.  Be Subtle. Don't draw attention to it. Use the imagery of being through the looking glass, but don't call her Alice or make jokes about purple cats.  Put her in a uniform that evokes it, but don't have her wear it all the time. Call her Anna, not Alice. Have her go through mirrors, have her stand on a chess board and be directed across it in the company of a knight, let her get advice from a smoke blowing caterpillar who turns out to be a deadly butterfly... Good poo poo. Thanks for the recommendation!
