You Are A Elf posted:Oh yeah, this, too. Cruel torture porn when people are trying to tell me, “No, you see it’s a deep mythos movie about the Jigsaw Killer!” I don’t give a gently caress. As soon as I saw a dude in a contraption that twisted his limbs until the bones visibly snapped out of his skin, I noped out. Hostel movies are even worse.

Every new found footage style modern horror where most of it is in front of a computer screen comes to mind. I guess most horror in general even if it's the genre I veg out to the most by far. Most M. Night Shyamalan movies need no rewatch, and even stuff like The Sxith Sense it's only to review all the references to the twist you missed.

I'm Thinking of Ending Things was apparently pretty great but by the time it got to the long rant about A Woman Under the Influence I had checked out and thought the film had disappeared up its own arse. It was in all likelihood too smart a story for a dumb-dumb like me.

Charles Bukowski posted:I don't like watching kids murder each other unless it's like in a fun way like battle Royale or uhh some anime poo poo. Yeah, this is my reason too, basically. Great movie but it's just too heavy, maaaan.

Death Wish 2. The first one doesn't outright say "paul's descent into violence is awesome and good, and you, the viewer, should definitely emulate him", and the other sequels become wacky Cannon Films action movies that it's possible to enjoy them for their camp value and laugh at their insane political takes. They're so bad they could come off as intentional political satire if you didn't know any better So while all of the death wish movies are some variety of "this is what conservatives actually believe lol" and are kind of terrible, death wish 2 is a special kind of lousy. Its just an hour and a half of scare-mongering and sermonizing without offering a single man on fire, goofy one-liner, or gangster being poisoned with a cannoli. Gross, boring, ugly, repugnant, irresponsible, and thoroughly unpleasant from start to finish with no redeeming value aside from Laurence Fishburne looking like this the entire movie

Doctor Butts posted:I dunno. Enter The Void just seemed like the same old poo poo from Irreversible. Misery porn. Give No Country For Old Men another try with the idea that Llewellyn and Anton are the same person, and/or the whole story is in Tommy Lee Jones' head. It works in several ways.

Hyrax Attack! posted:Beavis & Butthead do the Universe. It’s ok but Do America is so much better, or just rewatching the reboot. Universe felt like Judge was shakily figuring out the characters again but it hadn’t quite clicked yet, it’s so much better when they’re interacting with a sane world, rather than existing in a zany world. Agree. The new series is way better than the new movie which was devoid of laughs for me. B&B Do America is evergreen though. I rewatch that every few years when I want to get real dumb. Happiness was a great movie with amazing acting but too icky to want to watch again.

I can watch No Country multiple times and what I like about it is the story works as-is without the need for any late 90s Shyamalan gimmicks. Characters do a lot of philosophizing, but the events on the screen are what happens. Llewelyn got in over his head. Anton did too but he had the benefit of sociopathic detachment and luck on his side. Ed might have outfoxed Anton a decade prior but the clues just didn’t click fast enough.

Anton and Llewellyn being the same person is a fun theory, and there are several clues supporting it. Not saying it's right, but after I heard about this my rewatch was interesting. They are never onscreen together They use similar weapons throughout There are scenes that focus on their boots/socks in a certain way Ed Tom (Anton???) regards "Anton" as a new breed of supercriminal and inflates his own idea of the crime It isn't my idea; I'll try to find where I saw it. There's more to it but that's all I remember. E: ah here we go. This dude plays with what-if scenarios and has a very keen eye for detail. His takes on The Terminator franchise (Kyle Reese is NOT John Connor's father) and Bird Box (it's a metaphor for childbirth) are interesting too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UadjAc-zXVI isaboo fucked around with this message at 16:46 on Feb 12, 2023 |
