COOL CORN posted:Things I didn't like about 31: To me it just felt more like it was lacking some of the spirit of his other films. Lords of Salem's clearly his homage to eurosleeze, House of 1000 Corpses/Devil's Rejects are the grindhouse/drive in, Haunted World of El Superbeasto's that making fun of the old scary cartoons we watched as kids. 31 just feels more like a 'let's get the usuals together and make a film'. It doesn't make it a bad film to me, just feels like a stumble on his growth as a director.

The only way I can describe 31 is, like, it felt made to order to me. Like if you had told me that Shudder had contracted Zombie to make that movie, I’d believe it. Kind of feels like a paycheck movie, or at least the closest he’s come to that.

Absolutely. I recall that Zombie wanted to make a hockey movie and got turned down, and soon after made 31. The movie feels like his response was "So you only want me to make Rob Zombie Style Horror Movies? Okay, here's your Rob Zombie Style Horror Movie gently caress you pay me."

Sometimes I think “enough already, we get it. You like TCM and Spider Baby” but then I remember that he grew up in some sort of redneck nightmare carnival and that’s probably just who he is.

He likes to have more colour, more Bill Moseley, and to have a bit of a gonzo feel to them, which are all characteristics of TCM2 more than TCM. Also I'm surprised it took this thread nearly 3 pages before he was brought into the discussion yet again.

Zombie is my personal favorite horror director currently working, but for me he's stagnating as a filmmaker. He made Lords of Salem(a near masterpiece) in 2012. So that's six years now of trying to get the next movie made, failing, deciding to slap together 31 basically on a whim, then making the decision to do another Firefly sequel for the next one. It's just worrying as a fan, he's not getting any younger and it seems like eventually he's gonna just decide that movie making isn't worth the trouble anymore. It's never been where his bread is buttered anyway. And that would be such a shame because I really thought that after Lords of Salem we had at least a few great horror movies to look forward to from him before it was all said and done. Now I'm not so sure.

I’ve been considering getting a fiberglass replica Jason Voorhees hockey mask, but I’m not sure which Friday the 13th movie version to get. Part 4 is iconic because of the cover art with the knife going though it, but part 8 is more wide, yellow, and has metal straps that makes it look cooler.

Pomp posted:Shin Godzilla owns so hard Shin Godzilla is a masterpiece. It's remarkable how it manages to feel like a complete 180-degree turn from the rest of the series while following the same basic beats as many of the previous entries. I love that within two years there were two Godzilla movies that took essentially opposite positions. The 2014 American Godzilla treats him with near-religious reverence, while in Shin he's a ecological problem. I love both of those movies.

Shin has unsettling visuals and genuinely upsetting scenes of mass destruction and was also the best political comedy of a the until Sorry to Bother You happened

I'll have to check out Shin Godzilla, but most other Godzilla titles are action comedies as if Jackie Chan was in that suit.

Fourthing Shin Godzilla as an absolute masterpiece. My rural rear end was lucky enough to be visiting a city when that released, so I managed to catch it in theaters almost on a whim and god drat. That's one of the best theater experiences I've ever had. Seeing laser on the big screen was beautiful.

Shin Godzilla really does have some scenes in it that are like Dr. Strangelove level comedy. Like when they give the order to fire on Godzilla, and then the order has to be filtered through like 8 different random staffers with ridiculous titles, and even THEN when the order comes through to the crew inside the heli it still has to be conveyed from like the pilot to the co-pilot. You don't see satire like that anymore.

I don't remember who just posted about werewolf movies, but I want to repeat what I posted in the last thread. Howl, on Amazon Prime, is a cool little fanger banger. I really liked the design of the werewolves, too. It's not one you see everyday.

Best opening scene is TCM with the narration, the camera flashes of the dug up corpse in the dark, to the corpse on the monument. TCM is also the best horror movie. Also, Jason Lives is the best. Phantasm I-IV are all good for dif reasons. Tom Atkins Linnea Quigley is best horror babe. Bram Stoker's Dracula is a hilariously bad mess, but a beautiful looking one. Suspiria is by far the most overrated horror movie, but a beautiful looking one. Black Christmas is the best slasher, and better than Halloween by a lot. Rob Zombie is just ok. Eli Roth has never been good. Evil Dead > Evil Dead II
