Do you like scary movies?



Basebf555 posted:

Are a lot of the horror movies on your list digital, or do you actually have like 700+ horror DVDS/blus/vhs?

I've been slowly converting over to mostly digital as funds allow. It started with converting over my VHS stuff because I was worried about format degradation and wear and tear since I've killed more than a few VCRs just from heavy usage alone. Everything on disc I try to make a digital copy and keep the physical copy as a master copy so when I travel, it's just lug along a portable drive instead of picking/choosing while risking any accidental damage. This isn't counting what workprints/alternate versions I've acquired through trading the occasional batch of homemade spaghetti gravy or homemade meatballs over.

I started using Letterboxd as a more manageable way to answer when someone asked me what movies I had. Looking at what the rest of you do on it, I probably should start rating/reviewing things.

I created a list specifically for my personal dvd/blu collection, it’s a good way of keeping track of what I have and haven’t watched out of what I own too.

My favorite thing to do on LB is go into a friend’s watched movie list, filter out the movies I’ve seen and then add what’s left to my watchlist. Goons tend to have good taste so it’s a pretty reliable way to find new things to watch.

FvJ Jason is my favorite Jason design.

Pillow case Jason is the best Jason :colbert:

Years ago, someone on this forum, in the cosplay thread, posted a Jason cosplay they made. It was a Jason with the sack head, but the sack was wrapped tight, and they had added the hockey mask over top of it, and it was loving awesome looking. Seriously, the movies should've adapted that look.

I feel like Jason’s more of a camp style food like hot dogs or a giant boiling pot of corn.

E: Chucky would be a finger food like chicken nuggets or a mini slider sandwich.

I don't recommend doing this for mine, I've watched a lot of garbage

When I started with letterboxd, I'd just pick a list (BFI top 100, They Shoot Zombies Don't They, etc etc) and start marking things I've watched. Took a while but it's kinda fun and was a good way to kill time during slow days at work. I still occasionally find stuff I've seen but haven't marked. You can filter it to only show movies you haven't already marked as Watched so you're not looking at the same movies on each list.

I feel like I’ll come across more watched movies no matter how long I use this thing; there’s not a lot of motivation to try to dredge up every mediocre movie I’ve ever seen. I’m also on the fence about movies I’ve seen but don’t remember anything about, or movies I’ve only seen part of, or movies I’ve intentionally stopped watching because I hated them...

Wait, the guy that did The Boy II did The Orphan? Is it worth watching (I really like The Orphan)? All I remember about the first film is that there was no supernatural poo poo and it being meh, everything about the sequel looked pretty weak.

For what it's worth here's my letterbox: https://letterboxd.com/joe124013/

Had one from awhile ago but didn't start updating it until the recent post about them (which was really useful, didn't understand it had gotten so effective).

Also recently rewatched Midsommar with a friend and someone mentioned its second half has a lot of humor and I missed it the first time but I was openly laughing at a lot of the stuff the second time around. Not sure if it was just because some of the tension was gone since I knew what was coming at all times or what, but there definitely seems to be a lot of humor there.

Took a minute to catch a Michael Keaton flick I'd never seen, Pacific Heights (1990)

Michael Keaton is great at being a total creep, I love what he's doing here. I also appreciated that Melanie Griffith is competent, does the right things, and keeps it together in contrast to Matthew Modine being a complete yuppie dumbass that she is trying to bail out through the whole movie.

Saw a pretty good flick called The Headhunter on Shudder. It's a dark fantasy movie about someone hunting down the beast that killed his young kid. It's super minimalist, had a budget of $30,000 pretty much the whole movie is just following this guy doing legwork and encountering beasts and making potions and stuff, I dug it overall.
