I've still gotta see Deep Blue Sea, I do enjoy Deep Rising. Also gotta see Deerskin. Sympathy for the Devil is great, Renfield is not bad. Nic Cage renaissance continues.

Biff Rockgroin posted:How do you guys usually decide what you're going to watch for October? I dig into the ol' watchlist for horror movies, usually retro, and throw a few rewatches of old favs in the mix too. Definitely going on some whims and flights of fancy. And I try to mix in some B-movies that might be funny to write about too.

Snooze Cruise posted:this time, i will properly partake in the october challenge and not get distracted by me suddenly deciding that maybe i should do a michelle yeoh marathon. Any favs? I watched half of Yes Madam (will get back to it), and still have a couple other 80s ones on the list. I've enjoyed the 90s co-star films though etc. Actually I thought Heroic Trio wasn't so good, or just ok for me. But still, Michelle is great, that cast is great overall. For a shlocky Maggie Cheung I like, the 80s Iceman Cometh was my jam. Heavy Metal fucked around with this message at 23:32 on Sep 28, 2023 |

PKMN Trainer Red posted:If it's not horror (and it's a scab film), I ain't got time for it this October Now, that's one of the actors, Star Trek guy, the director/writer/actor is the surely very cool Paul Bartel. I've been meaning to see it too, sounds up my alley. I like how the October Challenge thread says thrillers count, and horror adjacent stuff etc. So I think if there's a weird and/or tense movie that's a bit macabre or something, it's totally kosher.

M_Sinistrari posted:New trailer. Always like it when a fake trailer becomes a real movie. That said, I hope it really leans into the funny. Trailers can be deceiving, I remember Cabin Fever trailers didn't show quite how funny that movie was, but this is definitely a lot less funny of a trailer than the original. Patrick Dempsey is inspired, I can see him being funny with the earnest ham. Tough to top Michael Biehn's moment, blood? "Son of a bitch...." I've always felt like comedy is Eli's calling, the screwy European vacation hijinks in the first half of Hostel is the best part of that movie by far. And Cabin Fever is still his best movie. But I get it's the more extreme grim horror movies that do it for him. Also I feel like the I guess kids texting on cellphones thing we see so much in modern horror movies just feels a bit samey, would've been cool if it was set back in the day too. So anyhoo, I'll just set my expectations lower, but it should be a fun time. This also made me learn Eli Roth is making a Borderlands movie, and Gina Gershon is in both that (as Moxxi) and Thanksgiving. Classing up the joint.

Here's a question, you're 50 minutes into a 1 hr 47 minute horror film. And it's not good, it's kinda boring and stuff. Do you A, soldier on and watch the rest? Or B, figure it's time to put the next 57 mins into another potential winner? (Yes I'm in the middle of A Blade in The Dark) I've enjoyed other Lamberto Bava movies, but this feels like he (and the writers) saw Tenebre and just kind of scribbled down some stuff over a weekend and made a really uneventful imitation.

Tomatoes are not a thing that I recognize, I'm like tomato agnostic. But I do hear about the tomatoes and even the fabled ratio of tomato versus popcorn every time I watch a movie with one of my best friends now. Hearing about these tomatoes nonstop has driven me mad, mad I tell you And get this, he roasts everybody who uses letterboxd (including me naturally), these tomatoes and their popcorns, it's madness pure and simple

Happy Halloween folks! Good horror movie times. Nerdy Jason question! The recap at the beginning of Friday part 4 mentions how Part 2 started "two months later" after 1, with the scene of an adult Jason getting revenge with the fridge etc. Then it skips five years after. But how is he an adult just two months later? Also the kettle bit is classic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcYN8phvjSY Call me crazy, I feel like I had headcanon'd or heard fans make this make sense, but the 2 months thing and his adult-ness seems like a goof. It's also funny that part 4 mentions this detail instead of just brushing it aside. Anyways gotta love Jason.

Origami Dali posted:Jason in the lake at the end of part 1 is a hallucination/dream. Part 1 takes place in present day 1979, but Jason drowned in 1957. That is a sensible explanation. I've seen a few fans say the five year time skip explains the thing, thus the 2 month thing being kooky, but that is a solid take. I think the memorable ending of part 1 is too cool to have not happened, and I like the ambiguous possibly supernatural aspect of slashers anyway. Though that applies more so to Michael Myers than Part 2-4 Jason. So I guess I want to have that ending fit even if it doesn't. Or, even if it didn't happen, maybe she's psychic like the girl in 7 so she's right when she says he's still there in the lake. When reading a reddit thread confused about Jason being an adult in 2, I liked somebody saying how in Jason Goes to Hell someone eats his heart, so clearly somebody ate the heart of kid Jason, and the guy in part 2 is a new body via the heart eating thing. Now that's some canon wrangling fun. In any event, our headcanon will ignore that toxic kid thing from Part 8. Also it is a little odd that he was an adult for decades in the woods there and never ran into his Mom etc with that version. But it all works, whatever gets us to glorious Jason mania. I'm just thinking out loud here. I also don't rewatch 1 much, and 2 infrequently though I like it, so I probably have a kooky memory of how it all held together.

davidspackage posted:For my high school's sort-of graduation party, you could choose to either come in costume or just fancy dress. Me and my sister and a third friend turned out to be the only ones who chose a costume. I came as the Crow. Glorious! I too have Crowed it up in my day, my fav low effort costume, and one of my fav movies for sure. Also, I appreciate that a goon's friend saw and liked the new movie, but everyone isn't going to like the same thing, we all have different taste of course. And I personally do not want to see that movie, it's also by the director of the Ghost in the Shell remake, which unfortunately I did see. That's my take. Another thing is, they keep rebooting and remaking all of favorite stuff, and the expectation is that you need to see it. But you don't. It's actually pretty ok to not see it.

The Warriors rules. Speaking of pulpy cool thrill rides, there's a lot of overlap in thrillers etc and horror, I think you fine folks would like 52 Pick-Up by Frankenheimer (based on an Elmore Leonard book). Also, Killer Joe by Friedkin, that movie is wild. I like to do a Freakin' Friedkin Frankenheimer double feature. And on The Warriors, Walter Hill has such a cool filmography, Streets of Fire is must see too, and the soundtrack with tunes by Jim Steinman is must hear.
