Clint Eastwood is a dick for a number of reasons but I think I could've done a lot worse for a horror movie partner. I'd help explain to him the rules of survival and he would punch the monsters.

If I wanted to just hang out with a decent person before we inevitably get eaten by the monsters I'd go with Lea Thompson.

Honestly, Dirty Harry vs the Evil Dead would’ve been a hell of a movie.

Most famous for me is Kylie Minogue, so I guess if I need to stop the monster by convincing her to have an affair with it I'm covered.

LOL at having Kylie Minogue stop the monsters in any way other than getting them to all do the Loco-motion and then sneaking away.

EDIT: lol posers itt having to edit their post because they forgot the hyphen in Loco-motion.

there's a decent amount of autopsy footage, real animal violence, and at least one really nasty newsreel clip of a motorcycle accident. the staged stuff also looks like absolute poo poo, so you can basically figure anything that looks real, probably is.

e: with that said, though, I feel like having your weird uncle show it to you as a kid is probably the ideal way to have seen FoD. it's not something i'd ever suggest pushing a kid towards, but i also can't really see anyone getting much out of it beyond very morbid children (think Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes, or Wednesday Addams) and really, really hosed-up adults.

One of the later ones opens with R. Budd Dwyer's press conference, but it's honestly all pretty tame compared to ten minutes on /r/watchpeopledie nowadays. Goddamn there's a lot of OSHA violations in India and China.

i dunno, the bit in the first movie where you see the motorcyclist who crashed into a bus is... unpleasant. and real.

the faked executions are mostly just funny, though. oh noooo they pulled a guy who was halfway through brushing his teeth, squirted some red food coloring on a blindfold, and made him spit up all the toothpaste-foam, oh nooooo i'm so disturbed~

By modern standards, it's much easier to tell what's real and what's faked. Like I said when I watched it for a challenge in the October Ironman viewing, when you're watching it on a who knows what generation VHS copy with the mythos of all this is real death back in the day before Rotten.com or Ogrish, it's a different experience.

Speaking of which I wish a movie based on Thief could be made but like just based on the original game and none of the sequels.

-film noir story structure but in a medieval fantasy setting

-industrial soundtrack/foreboding ambiance for miles

-the big bad is some rich noble dude but it turns out he has machinations that are insanely low stakes and personal by modern fantasy flick standards, he's actually an ancient force of nature tricker god sort of thing performing a crazy long ritual to open a gate and summon all this stuff so he can get revenge by....just taking control of a single city

-Various small heists in rich folks' estates but also like swanky opera houses, decrepit ruins to find odd relics/etc.

-Lots of Lovecraftian god/stuff speaking directly into one's brain/ancient ruins stuff on the fringes of the story

-Heavy metal religious zealots

-Massive cool looking locations

-The protagonist ultimately triumphs with oldest trick in the book simple stuff the bad guys aren't expecting


Fuckin' owns



Like basically there's Conan the Barbarian, Conquest, are there any other movies like this that are good?

I never read it, but I remember Abarat being pushed really hard, possibly even being considered culturally relevant.

This is from a few pages back, but yeah, when it was originally announced, Clive signed a huge deal with Disney to turn the Abarat books into movies, theme park rides, etc. Nothing ever came of it beyond the books and even those look to be unifinished, just like nearly every other series of novels from Clive. :sigh:

I'm so old I can remember when Abarat started as a series of paintings Clive did about a collection of islands where each one represented an hour of the day. Saw a few of them in person when Clive did a rare appearance for the Learning Annex in the late '90s. :corsair:
