Mister Chief posted:The Criterion cover for Videodrome has a lot to do with me wanting to see the film in the first place. I loved the DVD box. It looked like a VHS tape in a slip cover. Didn't really translate to the Blu-Ray (Did they even bother? I don't own the Blu-Ray)

If you're going to watch one Cronenberg, DON'T watch M Butterfly. That's the only Cronenberg I've seen and holy gently caress is it boring and bad. That Videodrome box art looks awesome, but I don't really think I'd like body horror, and my friend has pre-emptively turned me off Videodrome by going on and on about it for several months of 2010. Maybe I'll watch it eventually, maybe I won't.

I hope this is a joke post, but if not... no, the Betamax was a VHS competitor (think Blu-ray vs. HD-DVD) developed by Sony which, while not popular with consumers, has continued to have a life long after VHS died due to its high quality and use in video production.

It was a clever little reference to Videodrome. You should go watch it immediately since you obviously have great reverence for obsolete media formats.

And you get to see Debbie Harrys tits.  There isn't much "body horror" though, maybe the final scene but it's nothing crazy. James Woods is loving fantastic in it too.

oldpainless posted:Yeah but its not very good. I watched it not too long ago and it was... decent. Far more of a monster movie then a dramatic tragedy like the first one but not a terrible movie. Its a far inferior sequel though, The Fly is really an excellent film.

I've never seen the Fly or heard of Videodrome. Wasn't allowed to watch movies rated more than a soft PG13 growing up.  I saw History of Violence and remember disliking it because it wasn't conventional and sort of ended abruptly with no closure (its been years, I could be remembering it wrong). I did enjoy Eastern Promises though, although Viggo Mortensens penis in blu-ray definition on a 65" TV was... something. Totally gonna check out Videodrome on Netflix though.

Vintersorg posted:And you get to see Debbie Harrys tits. The first half of Videdrome is practically a plot twist for all that movie has been built up as a body horror feature. It's so unpleasantly grounded that when the movie actually twists into gruesome insanity you can't help but almost feel relieved.

I think the only rule my mother had was no total front nudes when it came to movies,no tits and stuff. And if by any chance a movie had those she would only cover my eyes. Mom was so cool for letting me have nightmares. Edit: Wow.

Bloody Hedgehog posted:Why would that be illegal? I just meant that the owners/bosses certainly didn't know about or approve a bunch of 17 year-old employees and all their friends watching a movie after hours with booze and weed. It was 1983. Think Dazed and Confused. Jaws 3D is atrociously bad, btw and also has a horrible poster in keeping with the topic.

Apparently at some point at the end of the 'oughts' Hong Kong decided to incorporate Josh Hartnett (and also Elias Koteas, but nobody seems to care about him ever  ) into their movie industry. Which resulted in the following product:I Come With The Rain, in which Josh Hartnett's casually cool demeanor signals in the end of blue skies and the laws of physics.  Hmmm, perhaps I was in fact right. Look at the rain. I'm not sure if he's walking down a strange hallway or fall walking at us.  I'd like to think that mid-fall he's blasting at the ground, hoping it will shatter like a window. Okay, the soundtrack contains Climbing Up The Walls so I'm gonna assume it really is about bending the laws of physics. Because that would be subtle.  Let's see about this Japanese cover.  How is this not a gay porn? Dissapointed Owl fucked around with this message at 20:05 on Mar 23, 2012 |

All the cheezy lines, the swaggering brit Simon McCorkindale and his aussie thug assistant, the shark that has now become riduculously large, Lou Gossett Jr. putting on an acting job so bad it's like some sort of neo-minstrel performance, the "it's just a baby, the mother is still inside the park!". It's so bad it becomes good again. Unlike Jaws: The Revenge, which was just utterly reprehensible. Poor Michael Cain, the only bright light in a sea of poo poo.

The idea of a killer shark loose in a SeaWorld park is such a good concept. Jaws 3D doesn't do the best job with it, but drat, I laugh every time I watch it. I missed a chance to see it in 3D last summer, and I kind of hate myself for it.

Well, Michael Caine has been quoted as saying the following about it: "I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific." So don't feel too sorry for him

zenintrude posted:Started watching World on a Wire which reminded me that The Thirteenth Floor existed... That's such a weird movie. The premise is about a scientist who develops a virtual reality program that's based on the 20s but things start going weird including a killer escaping the virtual reality into a person in the real world. Then in the end it turns out that "reality" was actually another artificial reality created by some guys in the future and the main character (who turns out to be a computer program himself) escapes his virtual reality into the future "real" world.

My favorite scene of that movie is that not only Caine lives (after being taken underwater in his water plane by the shark) but when he climbs to the boat at the very end he's completely dry.
