I really enjoy how this movie chooses to give you no true backstory for Red or Jeremiah, content to let you fill in the blanks. I keep thinking back to one particular line during the Mandy acid trip/talking to Jeremiah scene, she says something like "I hear the reaper coming" So obviously, she's aware of some time in the past where Red hosed some people up with a crossbow, and this is corroborated by the scene with Bill Duke. But we don't get the cliche revenge movie "this guy is the real deal! Ex-special forces with 100 confirmed kills!" dialogue.

Also, did some digging and the movie's opening title card of "When I die, bury me deep, lay two speakers at my feet, put some headphones on my head and rock and roll me when I’m dead." Were apparently the last words of an executed convict in Texas? Is there any other source for that rhyme?

Free Drinks posted:Seeing as it's only 15$ Amazon to preorder I'm 100% willing to toss that much down the well even if I somehow end up hating it (I can't see how I could be anymore than disappointed). Heck, I want to give it money just so Cosmatos can make more movies. He seems like someone that has a vision that really appeals to me but still needs some gestation to be truly great. Though the potential is so loving there. You can rent the movie right now for $6 on Amazon. I would recommend doing that and not reading anything else about the movie until you've seen it. This is a movie that benefits from a blind first watch.

Class Warcraft posted:-Playing Dungeons and Dragons turns you evil? Check (don't try and tell me the Horn of Abraxis and The Dagger of the Pale Knight aren't some nerd D&D poo poo In one of the interviews posted earlier, Cosmatos says he spent time reading D&D manuals while writing the movie. That 80s idea of fantasy is definitely embedded in the movie's DNA.

I mean both things are true, we are given the super acid explanation but the bikers are also summoned by blowing a horn and one of them pulls an arrow out of his neck without it bothering him. It's firmly within magical realism territory.

I don't think a major release was ever really intended for this movie - they didn't bother submitting to the MPAA which I think still locks you out of the major chains. I do think Mandy will continue to get screened as a Midnight Movie for years to come.

There was a Business Insider article yesterday or so about how Mandy is actually making a ton of money for what it is and how few theaters it played in: https://www.businessinsider.com/surprise-success-of-nicolas-cage-movie-mandy-causes-shift-in-theater-release-strategy-2018-10

Shudder is the best value in streaming right now. $5 a month and tons of great movies every month.

Can’t decide if my favorite black skull is the dude with spikes all over his body or the guy who takes an arrow to the neck but keeps staring at the fire
