I remember a time when I was fairly young where I was enraptured by Aliens but I had trouble with the Wizard of Oz and Fantasia because the tornado scene and Night on Bald Mountain were both too scary. Kids are weird.

Us Americans really are a bunch of hooting pigs with doodoo rear end How well does the kettle work? I remember hearing something about how they don't work as well in America do to power differences but while that sounded like BS I don't know enough to be sure.

dorium posted:my palms were legit sweaty at the end. just excellently done. This is excellent stuff but I just learned that every single mall I used to visit in my home town closed over covid and are being torn down and that has weirdly colored my watch of The Rolling Giant. Like, yeah, the horrifying under ground mall is all dilapidated and poo poo, and yes, the 12ft tall animate puppet is probably murderous, but maybe it would be kind of cozy to walk around for a little bit? The narrator might have been a bit more relaxed in his subterranean hell realm if he took a moment to enjoy the vibes, is all I'm saying.

I kind of dig how the two halves of Mandy are in slight tension with one another, but there's definitely a vibe in the first half that's lost.

alf_pogs posted:the back half of Mandy to me felt pretty coherent with the first half, although not as strong (how can it be? it doesn't have the whole Linus / Mandy scene). but the back half is Cage giving us THE MOST in an insanely stylish movie, which, like... that's why i watch movies hahaha That's the thing, though — it's not like the first half is less stylish!    It's just a switch from a focus on a sort of semi-romantic human vulnerability to something more mythic. Schwarzwald fucked around with this message at 05:29 on Oct 19, 2023 |

I'm making title cards for my Plex collection of Creepshow (the TV series), and I'm wondering what you prefer, style A (with the comic titles) or style B (with a memorable visual from the episode)? Do a mix: style B for the top left but style A for the bottom right.

Shrecknet posted:It will never not astound me that they made a movie about giant robots fighting each other and it's mostly boring-as-poo poo discussions about player/fan safety in the Robot Jox events. Hollismason posted:Yeah sure that's a good point but here's my counter point "Giant Robot Chainsaw Dick". Robot Jox knows exactly when and exactly how to go hard, but it has no idea what to do the rest of the time. Still way better than Robo Wars. I saw that for the first time since renting it at Blockbuster a month or two back. Bizarrely racist, and the giant robot fight sucked.

Gripweed posted:Under no circumstances do you have to watch the Godzilla movies in chronological order. The ones from 84 to 95 have some continuity, but that's it, everything else functions as stand alone movie That's broadly true but some movies do acknowledge (certain) films that came before them. Ghidorah (the Three-Headed Monster) really benefits from following Mothra Vs, for example.

Erin M. Fiasco posted:I'm gay too but the story behind Aronofsky buying the rights to Perfect Blue only to directly copy shots from it for use in Black Swan means I'll always hate him for it At some point I'm going to actually have to dedicate some time to learning what all went on with this, because while the end result certainly didn't serve Satoshi Kon as much as he might have wished, the various anecdotes I've been told have made it hard to tell how much of went on was actually unethical. Like, I've been told on multiple occasions something along the lines of "people figured out Aronofsky stole those scenes after he loudly told everyone who'd listen to him." Is that Aronofsky being an rear end in a top hat or is that him being above board and giving attribution to a fellow director? How much of this is theft vs what would be a tribute if the other person were also a Hollywood director? To be clear, I haven't watched Black Swan* and I haven't really looked into what happened myself. It's just how the situation is usually described seems ambiguous in a way I haven't seen acknowledged. *edit: or Requiem for a Dream Schwarzwald fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Dec 17, 2023 |

Also it's wild that we're getting a sincere "making a movie about [thing] is an endorsement" takes from the loving horror thread. Y'all know Freddy Krueger is problematic?
