This is also why I haven't done a new Political Theater episode in over a month, I have a half-written script sitting here. I remember when you wrote stuff for me. that was fun and cool and stuff. I miss that.

If I ever won the lottery, most of my extended family would never see a penny but I would fund a ton of CineD goon projects. That's probably weird of me.

Ti West's newest movie, The Sacrament, is out on VOD. It's a found footage movie about a dude who works for Vice going to see his sister in a Jonestown-esque cult while Vice does a story on the cult. I'm pretty stoked to check this one out, I like House of the Devil and I loved Second Honeymoon. I want to see what else he does with found footage. edit: And it has Joe Swanberg aka the husband from Second Honeymoon. Dear God, please let this man be the Jim Jones. edit2 He's not and I am saddened. BENGHAZI 2 fucked around with this message at 14:07 on May 22, 2014 |

It's also been playing at a number of underground film festivals, which I believe means they show the films below ground.

Fun fact: Half of my job is coming up with newer and more elaborate references to describe how subhuman my customers are. Morlocks is probably my personal favorite so far, although the store standby is just "mutants" because then we can make X-Men jokes.

I was making a joke about a conversation between Ti West and Joe Swanberg's characters in You're Next, but now I'm remembering a (possibly apocryphal) news story. The Paris police were doing a training exercise in the catacombs (somehow not the premise of a found footage movie) and they came across a fully functional theater setup. Projector, seats, a library of movies. Maybe they were the dwarves/morlocks we're looking for?

Yeah I'm still in the first ~20 minutes and it's just the right kind of creepy, where you know some poo poo is going to go down but you don't know what. Also, watching this reminded me of Safe Haven and now I want Gareth whatever who did The Raid/2/Safe Haven to do a full length horror movie. It starts with one monster and ends with the forces of hell unleashed on earth as we tremble in fear.

'Ride in the Park' was... an okay concept? The final alien segment is absolutely great for the kids' acting and the absolute onslaught of noises and lights, though.

I think I'm the only one who liked A Ride In The Park. That one had some of the more inventive, playful camerawork I've seen in a found footage movie. SPAA just kinda felt like going to a bad suburban haunted house.

Ride in the park had an okay set up but it didn't do anything interesting with it. The alien one didn't work for me at all either and when I was a kid aliens were my number one super fear so I consider that a supreme failure.

echoplex posted:I *love* Tank Girl. I heard it was pretty poorly received but yeah, it's a fantastic film and McDowell is always worth watching. It looks great, too, no idea what the budget was but it feels really authentically punky/alternative which is kind of rare on big budgets. The PD was Catherine Hardwicke and I guess she would have been fairly young at the time. Films of that size tend to go to older, more experienced designers. Cool post.

Yo The Sacrament kinda rules. I think a lot of it is because it sidesteps a lot of your typical found footage conceits. Like the footage isn't "found' at all it's a Vice Guide To that was presumably published by Vice, it's professionals so you get around that whole "I have no idea how to use my camera" thing, and for the most part (at least the first 40ish minutes) it's shot and presented almost like a normal film, just with a bumpier camera at times. It's probably the least intrusive usage of found footage. It rules.

Second Honeymoon is pretty much the only one from both movies I flat-out didn't like, even Tuesday the 17th managed to somewhat entertain me. Because I'm bored, I'd rank them like this: Safe Haven 10/31/98 Slumber Party Alien Abduction Amateur Night The Sick Thing That Happened to Emily When She Was Younger A Ride in the Park Phase 1 Clinical Trials Tuesday the 17th Second Honeymoon
