I was watching the documentary King Cohen and they touched on God Told Me To and Cohen is a loving insane person. gently caress it no permits , no permissions , film a cop parade and sneak a fake cop into the parade. A Fake cop who is a recognizable celebrity. King Cohen is super loving good btw.

Last weekend I rewatched Q: The Winged Serpent which is worth it just for Michael Moriarty chewing the scenery. I love that everything between him and Candy Clark feel like they're from an entirely different movie that's just a drama about a down-on-his-luck driver taking "one more job". Also, when jumping down the wiki-hole about Cohen, I had no idea he created The Invaders! I used to dig reruns of that when I was a kid.

My favorite thing from King Cohen is that during Q Serpent he just had dudes on top of the Chrysler firing machine guns and the police thought there was a terrorist attack. It even made all the papers and he issued a full page apology.

I caught Blue Sunshine and Brain Damage recently and really love how goofy they are about acid. Mandy and Beyond the Black Rainbow are both recent examples of great acid trip horror movies but is there anything along the lines of like Blue Sunshine or Brain Damage that I should check out?

When the limbs fall in the middle of the street from the first monster attack, there's a definite feeling that all the reactions are genuine because only a couple of people are actually paid extras, the rest were just people walking around when a severed foot was thrown from a building.

Saw The Prodigy tonight. I know it's been out for a couple weeks, but I just got around to it. Goddamn, that movie was way more fun than I was expecting. It was like The Book of Henry if Henry had lived and gone on to become a serial killer. I was laughing so hard at times in the theater. I had a feeling as soon as I saw the Orion Pictures logo that I was gonna be in for something wild and that's exactly what I got. It's probably not one of my favorite horror movies in years or anything, but it was still thoroughly entertaining.

Little late to the party, but yeah, alcohol has been an intrinsic part of our history for like for loving ever. Drugs on the other hand, seem to have mostly been discovered not by randomly eating stupid poo poo, but observing animals eating stupid poo poo and seeing when it looked like a fun time.

Soo, I was browsing through horror films the other day on Amazon Prime and stumbled upon Exorcist III. I've always been a big fan of the Exorcist but knew nothing about any of its sequels except that Part 2 was awful. This one, though... It was written and directed by William Peter Blatty, who wrote the original film, so I figured it was likely decent. And the cast was definitely impressive. I saw that George C. Scott (!!!) replaced Lee J. Cobb as Kinderman in the lead role, Jason Miller was back as Karras, and Brad Dourif was also in it, plus some other names I recognized from disparate places. I have to say though, I was not expecting all that much going into it. Boy was I freaking BLOWN AWAY, though, just utterly *blown away* by how goddamn original and amazing this film was. I mean, I have to admit that the scenes with Brad Dourif doing these masterfully written (and sometimes utterly insane and raving) soliloquies to a still-as-a-statue George C. Scott is just... amazing. Really and totally amazing. I was just mesmerized by what Dourif did in this film, I mean... He throws each and every ounce of his very being into this role. It's like a sort of black magic of its own - hot utterly convincing Dourif is, how he even makes ME believe that each and every thing he is saying is literally true. I have to say though... I was honestly surprised when I checked and saw that Silence of the Lambs was actually filmed at just about the same time as this film, and both were filmed before either came out! I really felt as if Jonathan Demme had been borrowing from the Kinderman/Gemini scenes when he was doing the Clarice/Lector scenes. Both involve a law officer interviewing an unblinking psychopathic serial killer, prone to talking at great length. Both films have the killers locked away in somewhat similarly deep and dank cells far from hope of freedom (yet both villains escape in their own ways). Both films also use somewhat similar shooting techniques in those scenes - straight perspective shots, where the camera is directly in the face of the individual speaking, and they are speaking almost directly to the camera, so it feels as if the viewer is standing right between the two characters in a given scene. Admittedly, Silence of the Lambs maintains this as a motif throughout the film while Exorcist III mainly saves it for the scenes in the cell with Karros/Gemini. But regardless, I really can't say how incredibly surprised (in a GREAT way) I was by Exorcist III. I really wasn't expecting that another film in that series would turn out to be a masterpiece in its own right. And I should add that even though the film impressed the hell out of me initially, it actually GREW on me, and got better with subsequent viewings. One notices all kinds of small details and references and bits of foreshadowing, and so on. It's a fairly intelligent film! It does feel a bit dated due to being made in ~1990, but it's really not too bad. I feel like it's got its own sense of timelessness. I do have some questions though if anyone knows... Was Brad Dourif's voice manipulated in terms of pitch/modulation/speed/etc in any way? I feel like it must've been. Also, the presence of Fabio, followed by a blind and pre-fame (and probably still heroin-addicted judging by his weight) Samuel L. Jackson, followed by Patrick Ewing laying down ominous tarot cards. THEN the horrifyingly frightening flashes of Pazuzo's dead white face.... *shivers* It just makes for an ominously creepy and deeply weird dream sequence that rivals David Lynch (well, not really) BUT they are still terrifying and good in their own rught

The whole reason I ever bothered to watch Excorcist III is because it was talked up so much by a bunch of goons in these here threads. Horror Thread has let me down a few times but I've seen a LOT more really good films because of the recommendations of you goons.

I wish more people liked Exorcist II, not just because I think it's good but because then it would act as more of a bridge to Exorcist III which is a near masterpiece imo. As it is, I think a lot of people never venture past the original because the first sequel has such a bad reputation. But I think if you appreciate the originality of some of the stuff going on in Exorcist III you should go back and give 2 a shot. In a similar vein, if anybody still is sleeping on Psycho II, watch it ASAP. You're missing out on something almost just as good as the original.

Excorcist 3 is fantastic. Like its the proper sequel to the original Exorcist and its one of my favorite horror movies. All of the Psycho movies are pretty good actually.

I think my issue with Psycho II and Exorcist III is that they are good movies but they aren't really good movies in their own series. Like, Exorcist III is a great horror film but a bad Exorcist sequel, same with Psycho II. I feel like a good sequel needs to be evocative of tone and context as much as content.

The usual video output from an old VCR is RCA (single yellow plug for video, red and white plug for stereo audio), with MAYBE an "S-video" output for higher end machine (big round plug with a matrix of pins inside). Since the usual TV these days will only have an HDMI input the question is are there adapters that convert RCA or S-video into a usable HDMI signal? edit, beaten as if I'd summoned the Cenobites

Yeah I'll grab a pic of my TV this thing has Coaxial which is what it was hooked up with at the store and then looks like those RCA cords. edit: Dammit my TV does have coaxial now I have to go back to the drat store.
