I was thinking of subbing to Shudder. How is the stream quality from the site? I've seen...conflicting reviews.

On PC, it's always been good for me barring the well known Joe Bob rush. On my tablet, it's been a mess but I'm pretty certain that's more on my tabletside than Shudder since it's not the first time I've had some issue with it and an app.

Was that movie PG-13? There was no nudity (well, there was some covered nudity), not much swearing and not a lot of bloody violence outside of that spoilered scene, but that doesn't seem like something that could exist in a PG-13 movie hahaha

What the gently caress is "covered nudity"? If you're covered you're not nude!

ditto on teeth. there's some movie that I'm drawing a blank on right now where someone gets a drill to the teeth and it's horrifying, I wanna say it's a Fulci film but I may just be conflating it with the drill to the head scene in The Beyond.

I got into a semi-angry fight with a friend at a bar last night when he said he thought Gremlins 2 was terrible

Gremlins 2 is the last time we will ever see a studio go out of its way to get the original director back. Dante begged off for years, saying he didn't have a story to tell. When they gave him final cut, he let loose and essentially carpet bombed the idea of sequels.

Hollywood has since figured out there are a million Brett Ratners who can convincingly play another director and come in under budget with a simulacrum that appears to be a sequel to a hit.

Seriously, Institute for Gremlins 2 Studies is a lot more correct than it is wrong about a lot of stuff.

It's interesting to me how in many creative industries there seems to be a complex relationship between sophistication (and amount of funding) and quality that is proportionate at first, then falls dramatically and eventually levels off once you pass a certain point.

I wouldn't say it's better, but it's in the vicinity of the original. I loved the gremlin variety we get in it.

Gremlins 2 cannot really be compared to Gremlins 1 because Gremlins 2 was a movie made by a director who didnt want to make the movie and had unlimited budget and creative control and used it to express his contempt for the movie itself.

They're adding Cheap Thrills on the 11th. A previous iteration of this very thread led me to that movie a couple of years ago and it's GODDAMN AMAZING.

the closest corollary to Gremlins 2 is, I think, Freddy Got Fingered. They are both films which are far less interested in telling a story than in wasting money and making themselves laugh.

Serious question; are there actually horror elements to Legend of the Galactic Heroes? It�s been on my radar for a while but the length kind of put me off.

I maintain that Gremlins 3 should be about the filming of an adaption of the events of the first film, and real Gremlins show up and run amok on a studio lot. The meta and parody possibilities are endless.

not really

like there's a creepy space cult subplot but they're more "political terrorists who use brainwashing" than "space cthulhu worshipers"

That's probably due to risk aversion more so than anything. The times when studios would give someone like Francis Ford Coppola unlimited funding to shoot his mad vision in Vietnam is sadly past.
