When I was watching the film, I assumed the Jar given to the bikers was blood. Probably it was just the lighting, but it looked darker and less viscous than the lcd hoard. Plus, I thought the bikers' request for blood was worded like they were seeking more blood (though I may have just heard what I wanted to hear).Class Warcraft posted:In my mind its like a fever dream of all the dumb poo poo conservatives feared and believed were real in the 1980's: Actually I think the movie is distinctly trying to take the opposite approach. Our heroes are two honest people sure. But one of the introductory scenes is of Cage deliberately turning off a Reagan speech, and of the two sitting around watching a horror movie. Not to mention the metal t-shirts and fantasy artwork belonging to Mandy. Meanwhile the cult is a bunch of christians deliberately undermining Christ's teachings for personal profit/pleasure. In conclusion, Jesus Freaks are a land of contrasts.

A good way of putting this film is that (despite being shot digital) is that it is a 16mm film, given 16mm resources, yet carries itself like a 70mm epic, to the goal of presenting love letter to all of the 8mm and 16mm shlock of the 60's-80's. Also, did you guys know Cheddar Goblin has a twitter?

Plus RE: The gross: this film had a really atypical release between the number of limited, one night showings in most markets and it's same day digital release. The people behind this film are going for both the long game in multiple markets rather than the quick buck off the domestic circuit. Considering that this weird tiny film is close to making $1 million is probably cause for celebration.

ringu0 posted:I'm going to see Mandy on Saturday in a local Alamo. I have no idea what this movie is about, and I have no intention to find out beforehand. However, there is one important question I would like to be answered, and it's "is Mandy a popcorn movie or not?". Just eat the popcorn, Quiz Boy.

Just found out that Shudder inked a deal for the exclusive streaming rights for Mandy. A little bummed that this film won't have the huge second wave on Netflix that it deserved. But hell, Shudder is a pretty good service in it's own right. Hopefully it will bring some eyeballs their way.

Yeah, but like, have you wondered that maybe the mundane poo poo was the hallucination, and all the crazy poo poo WAS REALITY. Edit: Sorry, weed's legal in Canada now. It's like a whole nation is a giant hot box now.
