Schwarzwald posted:Having never seen the original film, the impression I get from this is that those helmets are VR, and that the aliens and the attacking human are fake and the bored woman is upset her boyfriend is so hardcore about this alien FPS. Spoiler for the first movie: the aliens suck out people's brains to use for their alien tech or something, I forgot the details. But I guess they can't suck brains through a motorcycle helmet E: Oh yeah there's bright lights too

In like 5 years we can have some guy homebrewing a version of the movie with "good-enough" quality effects to replace the cute squid with its true gigeresque form. I for one look forward to the true de-disneyfied Monster Trucks that will scare kids sleepless for a decade.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1y5Viz2EsA Nightmares for literally 5 years. I guess it actually is pretty scary even if it looks kinda bad when you're an adult. I remembered it as the scariest thing in the world. I was too old to be scared when I got to see ET & those, cause we didn't have money when I was little & so could only watch what was on TV & didn't have a VCR until I was 10. I must have been at least 12 before I saw ET. Carthag Tuek fucked around with this message at 23:49 on Jan 6, 2017 |

FreudianSlippers posted:Doesn't the Brother's Lionheart and with the kids throwing themselves of a roof to get back to the fantasy world? It starts with them throwing themselves out of a window cause their building is on fire & the younger brother has tuberculosis. The older brother dies, but saves the younger brother (cause he lands on him). Then the younger brother dies from the tuberculosis anyway. Then they both show up in Nangijala (no idea how it's spelled in English, this is the Danish, not the original Swedish, spelling). Okay that's fine, but then after the whole Nangijala thing with Katla the dragon and the medieval thing & stuff, I think one of the brothers die, and then the other brother is just like "welp" and kills himself and then he meets the dead brother in Nangilima The message being: If your life is poo poo or your people are dead? Just kill yourself and hang out with them. It's very hosed up.

The opening of The Happening is really well directed though. Creeping horror done well & you don't yet know that it's a comedy. Do yourself a favor and watch this clip all the way through: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2f22rpTm_0

Improbable Lobster posted:Sleep paralysis is a very specific thing that triggers a panic response because you can't move and your brain thinks there's something near or on you. It's very distinct from dreams. Sleep paralysis can be weird as hell too. One time I woke up to my dad stepping on my throat with shoes on, I couldn't breathe. I realized what was going on, but even so it doesn't matter what you "know" and what you experience & also I was on so much adrenalin that for a bit I just laid there in my bedroom and cried out. That was worse than all the usual supernatural monster ones put together. And my dad is chill as hell & he's never hurt me or anyone so far as I know, so I have no idea why my brain thought that that particular paralysis vision was a good idea.

DoctorWhat posted:Fortunately, if you're intellectually aware of the phenomenon and especially if you've experienced it before, you're lucid enough that you can recognize what's happening and minimize the negative experience, but I've seen devil-dogs impersonating my puppy and other horrors. Not fun! It can help, but it's not a guarantee. I guess it depends on how woke (lol) you are, cause sometimes it's easy to fight, and other times, it's like a nightmarish prison. You lie there telling yourself "this is just sleep paralysis, no big deal", but also there's a rotten meatgolem lurching toward your immobile body.

Femur posted:I am not questioning if it's a real distinct thing found by medical science, I am saying, in the old days, it comes and goes, iirc, pretty quickly, why wouldn't people pass it off as a dream? do people feel, this is the line that I have woken up? i mean most days its obvious, but sometimes i remember the residues of something, think something happened, then slowly clear my head. You are definitely at least like 90% mentally awake. You're way more aware than if you're lucid dreaming, which is pretty aware. At least in my experience, lucid dreams just get put in the old dream-box so I have to write them down fast when I wake up if I want to remember them for later. In sleep paralysis, everything works in my brain. Memories & language/spelling (spelling doesn't usually work correctly in my dreams, even if lucid). I'm just trapped in a dead body & there's a goddamned presence nearby.

Femur posted:I guess the problem for me was that I assume my experience is everyones. like I don't dream like you at all. I don't even believe I dream at all. I just wake up and the day goes on. sometimes I think I experience something, than wake up worried/scared, until it clears and relax that it wasn't real. I assume this is just dreaming. So like if i eeriely can't move, a great pressure coming over me, then suddenly I can, well, to me, the before was a dream. To me all those things before was whatever dream. I thought people in general would just do the same throughout history. Gotcha. You do dream; everybody dreams (it's a natural process), but your brain is real quick to flush it out when you wake up. That's natural, too. Dreams aren't supposed to be saved for posterity, it's basically just your brain imagining things & trying things & going nuts while you sleep, and then it gets deleted. Even as someone who is pretty good about remembering dreams, it takes a lot of effort. My method is keeping my eyes closed as I wake up, then going over the locations in my mind, the persons, etc, working down to the plot (or lack thereof). My brain is 100% gungho on just deleting eveything. Sometimes I can feel it happen, I feel like going "wait but the islands and the weather!" or something, but it's being deleted, so now I only remember those words, and not what they mean or signify. I'm surprised you've never experienced that. Waking up to a dream that you wish you could remember, but nope?

Also: Dream interpretation is bullshit. You can use whatever in the dream as conversation starters if you're an actual psychologist, but there's no 1:1 symbolism a danish newspaper had a feature or something about dreams, and i sent in a dream i had & they picked it. so they got 4 diffent professional "dream interpreters" to look at it, and it was increddibly pedestrian like, at one point in the dream i was taking a chemistry class in italy & a guy from my class stole a chemical, it was kinda viscuous, glowy. anyway in the dream i was then suddenly in a forest near a cave with my younger brothers. for some reason i smeared the radioactive green chemical poo poo on my face to scare them, but then it started to burn a little & i scratched at it & my skin started to flake off & i pulled the skin & muscle off my face, leaving just the skull Dream Interpreter: "you are afraid to lose face before your brothers" like a: of course nobody wants that and b: "lose face" wow you really paid attention good job

Skwirl posted:Nah, it's modern American Evangelical Christianity where God reveals himself to the lost and the fallen constantly, not Old Testament book of Job God. Swap the aliens for literal red devils with horns and Mel Gibson for Kirk Cameron, Kevin Sorbo or that Baldwin who went crazy and it's basically one of a dozen movies that are released direct to video every year. Yeah the weltanschauung of Signs is 100% weird American protestantism. Everyone is Job, but also everyone kinda deserves it (until they figure out the secret clue). It's really well put together though, and Joaquin Phoenix in particular is great

Skwirl posted:It's less about quality control than trying to produce content for as many different demographics as possible. I don't give a poo poo about Fuller House, but the people who were excited about it probably had little interest in say, Master of None. This makes a lot of sense, and tbh I think it's good they're trying even if they gently caress up a lot. There's a lot of demographics that don't get enough tailored media.

Sometimes I wish there were two greenlighted threads; one for comic book movies & one for other movies. I really don't give a poo poo about comic book movies, but I guess the other thread would just be dead anyway so I'll probably stay subscribed to this one & just wear out my scroll wheel. Anyway apparently von Trier is working on a new thing with Matt Dillon & Bruno Ganz: quote:USA in the 1970s. We follow the highly intelligent Jack over a span of 12 years and are introduced to the murders that define Jack's development as a serial killer. We experience the story from Jack's point of view, while he postulates each murder is an artwork in itself. As the inevitable police intervention is drawing nearer, he is taking greater and greater risks in his attempt to create the ultimate artwork. Along the way we experience Jack's descriptions of his personal condition, problems and thoughts through a recurring conversation with the unknown Verge - a grotesque mixture of sophistry mixed with an almost childlike self-pity and psychopathic explanations. The House That Jack Built is a dark and sinister story, yet presented through a philosophical and occasional humorous tale. I kinda have an idea why this was greenlit tho.

muscles like this! posted:Stallone has announced that he's dropping out of the next Expendables movie. Apparently even he realizes that they suck. He should do an earnest Cobra sequel. I think the market is ready for it. Just him, Gary Busey (or Jake if Gary is retired), Judge Reinhold maybe? Some kinda LA crime gang is tattooing drugs into hot babes and the only way to stop them is to get Cobra back in the game It takes place in 1991, no gimmicks, no winking at the camera.

Lobok posted:Might as well just jump on that Netflix money train and do a Cobra series. Now we're talking! Start out slow, make it possible to do more seasons, à la House of Cards. Framework is always the same: Marion "Cobra" Cobretti (holy poo poo I remembered his name without checking) is unemployed, eating pizzas with scissors on his weird beachfront property. Angry black police chief needs the case solved stat & they gotta bring him back in. Sunglasses, toothing a matchstick/toothpick, that big old Harley. Cobra fixes it up, with the help of this season's guest starring actor (thinking someone like Gregory Elliniovitch for the first season), then retires. For good. Until the next season. Also all the criminals use Tek-9s, no exceptions.

I completely forgot Sam Rockwell was in that movie. Sam Rockwell is on my personal top 10 & I forgot he was in it.
