Despite liking the first one a lot and being excited to catch the second in theaters too I somehow never got around to seeing it, but I will be seeing it as part of the May challenge now.

Seeing BW2 now, knowing its reputation, will tend to make the viewer more charitable toward it.

I somehow ended up renting The Burning Moon from my local, small town video rental place in the 90s. It was in their new release section and everything. The only things I really remember are someone's teeth being pulled in hell and 'That bastard threw a head on my hood!'

I've honestly been sort of avoiding watching The Burning Moon because I cannot seem to get a feel for how rough of a watch it'll actually be. Like it seems like the kind of movie that could either make me laugh like Rich Evans about 20 times or be a huge, huge downer, and I've gotten opinions all over that spectrum from people.

Everyone's going to have different tastes and those tastes will change over the years. I've never been fond of animal deaths, but I'm okay if the effects are the sort of 'it's clearly a stuffed animal with red karo on it'. I used to be okay with if something happens to kids but after having my own, I can't handle anything happening to babies/small children.

Oh yeah, I'm fine with it. The thread makes me challenge myself a bit to get out of my comfort zone or exposes me to stuff I wouldn't have known about but like, some stuff just isn't for me. I'm probably never going to watch the I Spit On Your Grave movies for example. The thread could say they're the greatest thing ever and I'd just pass. And I very nearly watched Fulci's Zombie/Zombi 2 in January but after a couple of other people did reviews of it I just decided I'd get nothing good out of it.

Just every once and awhile I feel like the nerd in class.

I know how you feel, it's cool. I love found footage, hate Adam Wingard, don't care about F13 or Halloween, and I've never seen a giallo. Also, I loved the cinematography of The Conjuring. You'd be hard pressed to be worse than me. And yeah. I don't know if I like Fulci, since I only saw Zombi 2 and was dead bored apart from some rad gore.

I'm probably the biggest proponent of gore/splatter/torture movies itt and I cannot stomach any animal death at all. Even fake ones. I won't watch any movies with real animal torture/death in it and avoid ones with fake deaths.

Real animal killing for film isn't even limited to horror movies. Back in the day they would just straight up murk horses left and right for movies. "Napoleon" is a great example of that. That movie loving sucks.

I can’t stand when they kill dogs in anything because it’s so cheap.

I want to do a movie where a character does throw a dog to the monster and it gets killed, and that character is then beaten to death by the dog owner.

That scene in snakes on a plane infuriated me.

I have a poster of Captivity, but I got it for free from work, plus it's written by Larry Cohen and stars Elisha Cuthbert, and I'm a huge Cohen stan. I don't have it hanging up tho, it's sitting in a giant roll of posters I have stored in a closet (along with poo poo like Surf Ninjas, Critters 3, and a 30th anniversary poster for Terminator (I have no idea where they hell I got this, I completely forgot I had it til checking just now).

The fourth and fifth one are pretty decent. I wouldn't call them my favorite by a long shot, but they're fun to see with a group, I'd put them on the same level as the Final Destination series. You know exactly what you're getting into with those two franchises, and neither of them ever get to Hellraiser 9 levels of unwatchable.

One of my fondest dating memories is watching the Final Destination 2 TV edit with my wife, who can't handle a lot for brutal violence. We had a great time and had a lot of fun with Kratos being in it.

Mostly column B. If you're just thinking about the gore effects and how they stack up, they're surprisingly good considering how low-budget the movie is, but everything else around the effects is like a po-faced, depressing Don Dohler movie. There's some really dark gallows humor, but it's hard to laugh at a lot of the stuff in it. It was a lot easier to watch than I thought though, and I think it's worth watching just for the finale of that second story. Hooo boy, was I not ready for that. The ending of the wraparound is really dark too, even if it was entirely predictable.

Gothika is a movie I liked quite a bit but it definitely kinda sorta has basically the dumbest script ever written at some moments, but I like it.

Speaking of press packages, I think probably the single coolest thing we own is a press kit for They Live. The folder is done up like something you'd see in the movie, 8x10 photos of Roddy Piper/etc., and a lot of big talk about what a huge hit the movie will be and how Roddy Piper will become a mega superstar and such.

Evil Bong

Well, as a disclaimer let me say that I'm sure this will include a mix of both poser and non-poser opinions. Apologies in advance. I'm setting my goal at 25 movies, with only new-to-me movies counting for the final tally, although I'll probably mix in a few rewatches as well.

While I will always respect Charles Band as a creative mind, I still like to watch his stuff when I'm in a certain mood. I knew the budget was going to be low, and that I'd be lucky to get one or two decent actors in the cast. Well, that turned out to be very true of Evil Bong, but what I was looking for was 90 minutes of dumb fun and that's what I got. My main regret is that I'm not really a Full Moon expert, and so I could tell that some references were flying by that I just wasn't catching, and I imagine that probably adds another fun element to the movie.

The true horror presented in this movie is the life of three assholes cooped up in a small dingy apartment. I've been forced to live in circumstances like that before with very little privacy and space of my own and for anyone who isn't stuck in early 20s college dorm mindset it's absolute hell. If I were sucked into the Lament Configuration by Cenobites my personal hell would be to have to rent a room in the apartment from Evil Bong. Otherwise though, this is a pretty straight comedy where the "kills" are pretty tame and you're never really asked to care much about any of the characters aside from the protagonist.

I have to say, the wiki article for Evil Bong is very accurate when it describes Chong's entrance as "....randomly enters the room" , because that's exactly what happens. One minute I was wondering when Chong was going to show up, then all of the sudden he's just there in the apartment providing exposition. Wow, this script is lean and mean!

Complaints(i.e. the poser section of the write-up):

- I did not really like the voice of the Evil Bong, I think something more classically horror would've worked better. A Vincent Price impersonator or something, I dunno.

- I know I mentioned expecting a low budget, but this one is really cheap even for Charles Band. Probably the cheapest that I've seen from Full Moon, but again, I haven't seen a ton

- Not enough Chong. He needed to be introduced about halfway through instead of three-quarters

All in all though, I had fun watching Evil Bong. Like I said, the mood was right, I'd just come back from watching 3 hours of BIG EPIC SUPERHERO EPIC SPECTACLE EPIC ULTIMATE BATTLE and really was looking for something simple, stupid, but fun. Band delivers again.

Watched: 1. Evil Bong

After two weeks of struggling with my own 2 year old and my 2 year old neice staying with us, I finally got them both to nap at the same time today. I said, "dope! Im gonna watch Stalker." Made some tea, sat down on the couch, about ten minutes in I promptly fell asleep. Black and white subtitled movie from the 70s? I didnt have a chance. I cant speak for the movie, yet, but that nap was a damned 10/10. Oh and when my daughter woke me up the movie was in color. So thats cool.
