Alec Eiffel posted:It boggles my mind that a bunch of people think it's hilarious that there is a movie called "The Ugly Dachshund" (or any other example from these Twitter posts) as if these movies haven't always existed for most of them. These people act like they discovered some amazing treasure trove of comedic or obscure titles but it's goddamned Disney. To be honest, you sound like you're angry that people have never heard of obscure cultural references from your childhood. The fact is, most of these movies have been forgotten for a reason. Many of them aren't good, and haven't held up over time. They're not lost treasures, and just because there is some trove of awareness of these somewhere doesn't mean that the rest of society are morons for having never heard of them.

This kinda fell under the radar, but Netflix put out Sion Sono's new film, The Forest of Love, and it's a full-on, ultraviolent, maximalist spiritual sequel to Cold Fish; the epitome of Sono's well-honed style. It's loving gnarly and pretty soul-numbing and really good

Nah, dawg, I was born in 87 and haven’t seen any of these movies, but I’ve heard of nearly all of them because they’re made by a major studio. And certainly I wouldn’t go onto the web and be like “Y’all ever heard of this? ‘The Apple Dumpling Gang?’ Pretty funny right.” This is with regard to people would even purchase Disney+. They would probably be familiar with these garbage live-action movies, more so than anyone. Edit: I guess I am mad because the jokes aren’t funny and they’re invading my personal space.

In the Tall Grass I can't honestly come up with how I feel about it. It was unsettling and I don't know if I enjoyed it or not.

Honest Thief posted:In the tall grass is from the cube director so I'm a bit letdown over the reviews I mean, Cube is completely nonsensical from a plot standpoint too. It's just that In the Tall Grass doesn't have Cube's bizarre aesthetic and "ancient pagan evil" is less interesting than "self-aware bureaucracy creates Hell in the form of a never-ending infrastructure project."

It's just that In the Tall Grass doesn't have Cube's bizarre aesthetic and "ancient pagan evil" is less interesting than "self-aware bureaucracy creates Hell in the form of a never-ending infrastructure project." It's also missing a bit of the down-to-earthness of everything. Cube took place in an unknown place, with weird characters, but the consequences and dangers were immediately understandable. You pretty much understood the stakes and the setting right from the get-go, then the additional rules were spelled out and revealed over time in a way that felt natural. One of the many, many reasons why Cube 2 was so terrible was that when you start messing with supernatural elements that affect time and space, you lose all sense of consequences. In the Tall Grass had a similar issues with some of the elements that they used in the field, in my opinion.

Episode 9 of Wu-Tang An American Saga dropped on Hulu today. If you're not watching this series, you're missing out. Not going to stop hyping this show because it's the best thing aired this year easily. It's so loving good. We also need a Wu-Tang Kung-Fu show now after this episode. That poo poo was hilarious.

I'm not sure how true to life this show is, but they're all involved with it. Before this show I'd never even listened to any of their music and it still hooked me. It has what makes character shows so good, they're all well done, and there is a lot of mayhem going on. Drug deals gone bad, the Italian mob, murders, record execs being assholes, huge parties, and then their personal lives in-between it all. And of course trying to find time to make beats and rap in-between just trying to survive.
