Have another Night of the Living Dead edit - this time I intercut it with two Edison Studios comedies: The Watermelon Patch and Laughing Gas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zNLUnJNISg

Or you can indulge in the fantasy that Zack Snyder enjoys your pain, in which case he did it to be stupid cuz he's stupid. Your choice, really. I know what the internet at large thinks at this point.

Goku died for our sins and was also a really absent father I watched VHS 2 last night and Safe Haven is super dope, as is Slumber Party Alien Abduction and the fact that the frame ends as a stupid comedy. The first two are just wet farts though.

Last of 2016: Out of Sight (rewatch) or Fences if it's the last thing I hadn't seen before - really happy with either of those as a close-out. First of 2017: Midnight Special which was really underwhelming. Magic Hate Ball posted:Yojimbo is so good. My first movie was a terrible David Blaine special that someone at the party put on. He poked an icepick through his arm multiple times and it was extremely gross. That special thoroughly rules. David Blaine pushing an icepick through his arm and giggling to punish Ricky Gervais for not reacting more to him sticking the card on the ceiling was sublime.

GoPro zombie is an absolutely incredible group viewing experience if there's at least one person who didn't know the gimmick of the short going in. I watched all of the V/H/S movies blind with the same group of friends and we all realized what was going to happen at the exact same time, it was great.

I would say the people he actually rescues in those movies would not consider their rescues ersatz. Like he arguably isn't doing as much good as he could but I don't think the film ever makes a case that he's bad. It's more a test of just how much he's willing to really sacrifice- to Batman and others, an invulnerable godlike alien swooping in and rescuing people is not proof of said alien being unimpeachably good, because it's not like he's really risking it all. And throughout the film Superman has that doubt as well- is he doing all that he can. (I didn't think it was a terribly good movie either, though. Once again the script is too busy and gets in the way of the major emotional/thematic thrusts- though in fairness this is based on the theatrical cut since that's the one Netflix delivered.)

It wasn't actively lame like ghost cybernetics, which squandered a solid premise, but it just didn't feel like it did anything especially unique in any meaningful sense. I think I just wish that the tone of comedy horror to 'zombie learns he can't eat a wallet' was the more predominant element, though that might be just because the ending leans way hard into pathos in a way that didn't work at all for me.

last movie of 2016 for me was Mad Max: Fury Road for the 4th (5th?) viewing. watched it new years eve with the surround sound cranked. i have the sub woofer behind my couch, so the engine rumbles actually rumbled the couch. it was dope. Hoping first movie of the year is going to be Predator.

Slumber Party Alien Abduction was one of the best films of that year and the rest of them were lame-o.

I don't think it's a hard lean at all. The film plays very interestingly with the conventions of 'point-of-view,' underscoring how the GoPro gives us the illusion that we're taking in a 'subjective experience,' but one which is functionally always 'above' the action, and which isn't influenced by external stimuli at the interpersonal level which a 'subjective' should communicate. "A Ride in the Park" is an objective account from the perspective of the videodrome, revealing symbolically that the 'undead' are really just 'sick people.' It's also the only short which explicitly parallels the frame narrative, both prominently featuring themes of isolation (this time domesticity rather than open nature), suicide, degeneration of 'traditional family values.' "Safe Haven" and "Slumber Party Alien Abduction" are both solid, solid shorts, but "A Ride in the Park" has just as much going on underneath the hood.

Let's all work to pursue our dreams in the New Year. Never one to give up, I have decided to submit a follow-up application to Candy.com. My last resume may have been a little too boastful, so I've decided to turn it down a few notches and focus upon communicating my experience with humility and frank honesty. http://tinyurl.com/zsnq9r4

I would hire you if I were Candy.com. As for dreams I am going to either go to film school or make at least one short film per month for each month of the year*. The second choice has the upside of being cheaper but the downside of me having to still do almost all the work myself and only having access to entry level equipment. *After I finish my current project of a found footage comedy series about potato chips that starts out like a vlog and slowly morphs into a conspiracy thriller after the protagonist is kidnapped by Doritos extremists. We've already finished filming the first 7 episodes and then the show will take a short hiatus while we film the final three since those require sets other than my apartment, a whole bunch of actors, special effects and by extension a shitload of planning.

I once wrote up a short script for a commercial for my friend for the Doritos super bowl competition that modeled itself on ISIS videos and followed a guerilla campaign to demand the release of Doritos 3D. edit: He also had a great idea for a cyberpunk dystopia commercial that took place in a red-neon lit factory where nacho cheese Doritos were being manufactured, and an old man monologued about the time in the past when people had the freedom to choose, only to be cut off by a punk with a neon red mohawk telling him that nobody wanted to hear his stories, and to shut up and eat his do-rashions like everybody else.

Great minds think alike. We actually contracted Doritos, or the franchise owners in Iceland, and got them to agree to give us a Doritos flag to hang in the background of our hostage/torture video in which the main character is waterboarded with Mountain Dew, has teeth pulled out and is forced violently to eat Nacho Cheese Doritos even if he thinks they are only mediocre. For some reason they bailed out at the last minute. The funny thing is that this series started out because we wanted to do something that was very fast and ultra-cheap since our last project sort of fell through , at least temporarily, but when we actually got into planning and writing the series it became a lot bigger and changed genres near the end.

A Ride in the Park had a cool and good gimmick, and it hit a note that otherwise bugs me in zombie films. A zombie waking up to being eaten and has to stop himself from being eaten by other zombies (and stop himself from eating himself) is fun to see, since you usually don't. Plus, the ending was  . Slumber Party Alien Abduction wasn't deep, but I loved the wall-of-sound-and-light-as-a-corraling gimmick. Safe Haven was one that never worked for me. It's been forever and a day since I've watched it, but I remember not liking that once poo poo hit the fan, it was creepy thing in creepy room, repeat a few times. And that ending, hah!
