STAC Goat posted:Holy poo poo. I did not know that. Locke & Key and 20th Century Ghosts are the only thing non-critics like. The Fireman got a lot of publicity, but no one I know that read it actually liked it. Horns was made into a movie with Daniel Radcliffe, and it's pretty polarizing, but people that like it really like it. I'm pretty sure all his AMC deals fell through, unless he's doing something new.

I saw some trailer recently for something that looked like a license plate number. checking... NOS4A2. Apparently set to premiere in June on AMC. Ohhhhh... I get it. Its a soft a.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:It's crazy to me that Zack Snyder's first movie was so creative and borderline experimental at times and then he goes on to make a bunch of movies that are less so. I mean I guess Sucker Punch was creative and experimental but it wasn't any fun to watch like this is. I always forget that it's the same director, I guess he had the drive for that one really good idea and just coasted the rest.

Drunkboxer posted:I’ve seen every Paranormal Activity movie but I couldn’t tell you anything about the lore off the top of my head now other than that witches get involved at some point. The plot is fairly unimportant, but the gist is that a coven of witches in the 1980s are using time-travel magick to perform rituals on their future relatives, loving them over in exchange for immediate wealth.

My heart skipped a beat because I read this as Slither 2, and though "holy poo poo he made a sequel I never knew about!?" Such a dumb loving move by Disney to get rid of Gunn, but maybe we will get a Slither 2 now. lol

Really? Huh. I guess it’s been over a decade since I heard it. Must’ve just forgot it. I actually made a stop motion SLiTHER sequel when I was a kid. Got the Mal figure from serenity just for that reason lol. I wish I could find it but it is long gone

Some things I remember to refresh your memory: The film would pick up with the cat that was infected at the end of the first film becoming a giant mutated cat like the Grant monster. "A giant infected pussy" in Gunn's words. The film would have opened with Fillion's Bill Pardy having sex with a blonde, only for it to be revealed it wasn't Banks's character Starla, but in fact Tania Saulnier's character Kylie, cuz Gunn thought it'd be a funny way to freak out the fans and create more conflict between the characters I think the idea was to set it in a big city this time, maybe Vegas.

I remember being all set to hate the 2004 Dawn of the Dead because I love the original so much but nope, Snyder's version kicks rear end. I want Modern Family to hurry up and end so Ty Burrell can be "horror movie sleazebag who dies in a hosed-up way" like God intended him to be.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:I legit think DotD 2004 is better than the original I do too, but mainly because the original tries way too hard with subtext with Romero trying on purpose, to the point it takes away from the film itself. Night was way better and the subtext worked a lot better, partially because it was accidental.

Romero's has something to say and blah blah blah. Snyder's is an action flick doing an ax solo blah blah blah. I think they're such fundamentally different films with such fundamentally different goals that its barely even worth comparing them. I've seen Snyder's more but that's mostly because its so easy to get your hands on and Romero's is so drat impossible. Although I'm sure there's someone who will make a passionate argument that Snyder's film has a whooooooooole lot to say.

I’m an unabashed fan of both movies but I’ll never claim Snyder’s version has anything to say other than “argh zombies.”

Snyder's version wasn't about consumerism like the original, but more about about how a group of people that don't trust/like each other can work together to make it through some poo poo or screw everyone else over. It's pretty simple but it's effective, and not completely boring.

Dawn of the Dead remake had no reason to be a remake other than name recognition Like, just change the mall to literally anything else, gently caress it, a hotel, and boom you have your own movie that won't be hurt by the comparison

I'd argue that it says a lot while not actually having a lot to say, still loved it though. Definitely going to double feature it before Army of the Dead as I'm sure they'll add it to Netflix also around the time Army of the Dead is out. Edit: I'm a dumbass and misread your post. Speaking of which, I loved his Dawn of the Dead but I forgot that there's two versions of it or even which one I saw. Looking at them now it seems the unrated director's cut whatever one is almost ten minutes longer which probably goes beyond "each gore shot is slightly longer" territory. Do folks have a preference?
