Closed casino stuff: I'm working alone now except for one day where I get to work with my jumpiest officer. We watched As Above So Below, We Are Still Here, The Vault (which I hadn't seen but actually really liked), and Insidious. After all that he requested that we not watch horror so we spent the last 3 hours of the shift watching Buzzfeed Unsolved: Supernatural. Next week I'm gonna make him watch [REC] for sure.

How could you possibly like the Vault, a movie so braindead it manages to spoil the ending in the opening scene and had only enough budget to license one song so it needle-drops "Crimson & Clover" at least 4 times.

Huh, I forgot I had seen the Vault until you mentioned Crimson & Clover. I found out an old friend of mine died homeless under the Space Needle right after I watched it.

The only thing Event Horizon's opening credits need to be perfect is a guy yelling EVENT HORIZON every now and then.

dorium posted:and it needs to be the guy that yells MORTAL KOMBAAT in the mortal kombat theme song. Exactly. And Fishburne's voice needs to rattle off the cast's names. I haven't seen Soldier in a while, wouldn't surprise me if that kind of opening credits song was his thing. edit: Paul Anderson's, not Soldier's.

I got a buddy at Gold Spike and he's still going in to do random paperwork and poo poo.

Yesss, I just loved that it had a bit of everything. I loved how it showed the city so well, how it had slasher elements, comedy, suspense, action. It wasn't like insane horror or anything but the overall ride was just fun as hell. Very under appreciated movie. It also gave a great look at style from the 80s even more so than a lot of old stuff does.

It was, in retrospect, a poor decision to watch Threads on the eve of our own (thankfully only viral) apocalypse. The movie pulls an incredibly mean trick - we all know it's leading up to a nuclear attack, and decides to play out an excruciatingly awful British star-crossed lovers drama that is almost intentionally wretched so you think "just get on with it then, let the bombs fall" And they do. And you want that terrible British family drama back. You want anything, anything at all instead of what you get. It's just misery, and pain, and loss, and then the cycle repeats, over and over. I cannot in good conscience recommend this movie to anyone, but I can tell you that everyone needs to see it.

If it's any consolation, a Threads type scenario would never, ever happen in America. They endured hell to scrape together a feudalistic society in the wake of a fiery apocalypse. This is plausible because mid-century English folk were hard as gently caress, stiff-upper lip pinnacles of humanity that once made an empire larger than the drat Romans. In America everyone would throw a poo poo fit and then commit mass suicide when it became apparent the television was never going to turn back on.

Yeah, Masque of the Red Death is an all-timer. Watching Final Exam and the killer kicks one of his victims square in the nuts. Kind of unsporting even for a slasher. Edit: Ahaha, this movie also has my least favorite slasher movie bit: Victim: Hello, police? I want to report a murder! Police: Yeah, right! *CLICK* Splint Chesthair fucked around with this message at 04:09 on Apr 10, 2020 |

Gripweed posted:The War Game is better. Er... they kinda both were. And for the same amount of time, roughly. The War Game was explicitly never sent to air and got a theatrical release instead, but the BBC broadcast it 18 years later, along with (ironically) the original showing of Threads. After the original showing of Threads, they refused to air it again for... 19 years.

Just saw it for the April challenge and it was great. Third place is harder. House on Haunted Hill maybe. There's a lot of condenders. I just love listening to his voice. I wish his cookery show was available somewhere so I could have it on in the background while I work.

Can someone help me confirm that I understood the ending to The Wailing please? So the shaman was in league with the Japanese man the whole time, who turned out to be the devil. And the ghostly woman was actually a GOOD spirit trying to defeat the evil spirits, but the cop didn't believe her and since he went home before the 3rd rooster crow, he ruined everything and evil won? loving incredible film

Get ready for a scorching hot take: I watched Parasite last night and it was good. I've heard a lot of things about it but one thing I wasn't expecting was the cast to be so charming and funny. It was like Hider in the House, except I sympathized with the hider.

It's another one of 2019's films where my second viewing really opened up a lot of humor for me and really let me enjoy the cast's chemistry. Wonderful film.
