It’s wild that there’s a new Scream movie out but none of the other scream movies are available for streaming.

Makes about as much sense as HBO max having all the nightmare movies except for part 4 and paramount having all the Friday the 13th movies except for parts 3 and 4.

Really upset that Tubi has all the Lake Placid and all the Anaconda sequels, but not the Lake Placid vs. Anaconda crossover.

They have a “vhs vault” version of Day of the Dead on Tubi that’s a 4x3 center cut version that was either duped off an analog tape or has a video filter over it. Noticed the only other title available with that format was a doc about vhs horror.

They should get rid of the DVD in the mail pay tier and make that inclusive in the whole package again. I need to watch Urban Legends Bloody Mary and physical media seems the only place I can find it.

Have films ever been made with ad breaks, or is this a potential new Rubicon that we could be crossing with ad supported streaming tiers?

Typically the pipeline for a film to be aired on, say, free TV, would involve the films are edited into single units, which then have their airing rights sold to a chanel, which then re edits them into ad breaks. Or, at least, that's my experience of it.

But with the way streaming works, are we gonna see more, or possible all non-theatrically released films, come with built-in ad breaks?

Film reels are more or less 15-20 minutes and some filmmakers would pace their act structure for the reel change.

is anyone else feeling more or less lukewarm on The Bear? it's a pretty good hangout show and I'm enjoying lounging while soaking in the show...but it's so nothing. Beyond a few sketchy outlines, I feel like I know absolutely nothing about any of the characters.

Chicago deserves a better show :colbert:

We've already been blessed with Southside.



But yeah, The Bear is just extremely okay. Too many cartoonish caricatures, it definitely feels like an outsider's perception of Chicago.

Yeah, it’s a movie called Prey, there’s a whole little sequence showing a cute bug eaten by a cute mouse who’s eaten by a mean snake, not to mention the hard cut from fun axe throwing montage to a hike with a bunch of skinned rabbits. A bunch of critters get the business in that movie.

After Hours isn’t quite what I’m looking for. I guess I probably didn’t need the “less emphasis on horror” amendment, I just meant that I’m not looking for pure horror movies. Sci-fi horror, action horror, something horror adjacent, in an urban setting. Like it’s not a haunted house or a setting where the characters are secluded and alone - the idea of a community having to deal with a crisis if some kind, be it supernatural, an otherworldly entity, government shenanigans etc is more what I’m thinking.

The People Under the Stairs and Candyman fit this quite nicely.

Prime Video is, essentially, the DVD aisle at Best Buy circa 2013. You'll find some good stuff, but you have to sift through a lot of crap.

Tubi is that mom and pop rental store that has so many movies they have to break down the video boxes and put them in flat sleeves in comic book long boxes.

Is Prey filmed in Comanche as the original language or was it filmed in English and dubbed Comanche?

It was filmed in English with a couple of lines spoken in Comanche on screen to pepper in during the English version, the Comanche dub is re-recorded and dubbed over, except for those few lines of Comanche in the English version, and the french spoken by the fur trappers.

I liked the part in she-hulk where they’re just smashing poo poo in a pissing contest while overall trying to relegate the destruction their rage-fueled power causes. Hulk just casually causing earthquakes that’ll gently caress up any sound based animals in the area. She-Hulk going clap crazy and just shredding any birds or small game animals caught in the wake, Hulk launching a meteor sized boulder and just not giving a poo poo when and where it comes down.

Awesome, insightful stuff.

It’s not that it’s unrealistic violence, it’s the fact that it’s trying to comment on realistic violence through Bruce’s trauma, then saying no, this is actually good and funny because tv violence has no consequence, so go hog wild and throw desks around crowded courtrooms with people, because it is tv, and so we get to enjoy this spectacle with no little or manufactured fallout. Like I said, insightful stuff into the mentality of the MCU.

I was looking at popular new streaming rentals on Amazon and saw "Barbarians" at the top. And that it was also free to watch with an AMC trial so I figured why not. I'll check out this new, highly rated horror movie (that I've never watched a trailer for). About half way through this boring rear end home invasion movie I try to google it and realize "barbarian" is the actual movie and "Barbarians" is some completely unremarkable thing from 2019. I guess it's getting some sort of renaissance from other confused people like me because why the gently caress would some mediocre rear end, movie from 2019 be at the stop of streaming rentals lol.

This happened to me with the movie Escape Room

I was really hoping you accidentally watched the 80s Barbarian Bros movie tho

I've only ever watched the very first Hellraiser but I'm curious if the series has sunk to a level of desperation such that one of the movies has a Pinhead origin story.

I can hear the pitch. "Sure, we all know and fear and *cheer* for Pinhead the Cenobite, but we've never gotten to know Pinhead the man.

He was born Pinkerton Head, the only son of a famous acupuncturist...."

His origin is revealed in part 2
