Blood Machines is like an artsier Kung Fury. It's nicer to look at, but just as hollow.

I finally got around to watching Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, and I am just left stunned. I'm hesitant to even call it a horror movie, there are many supernatural elements ala Boxer's Omen but it scores very low on the scare factor. This movie is an intellectual horn of plenty if you are even slightly into Buddhism. Past lives, reincarnation, and karma play heavily into this fascinating character study about uncle Boonmee. It would pair well with The Act of Killing as a sort of docu-double feature. Different country, but it shows the aftermath of a brutal and bloody communist purge that's seldom mentioned anymore. Both films show how the purge's perpetrators have moved on, or not, their reflections and remorse after being career communist murderers. It's a movie about coming to terms about one's existence, past and future, and it struck a deep chord. Two Tusk Walrus approved.

Blood Machines should've been a 10-15 minute Carpenter Brut music video collage instead of... whatever they did now.

Yeah that's a good way to describe the ones I've seen so far. They kind of waste their prompts and focus on really mundane poo poo. I can't say it's even bad just disappointing. You hear “Knock, knock, I heard. But the monsters had already found their way inside.” and you don't think "Purge, but also with social commentary about ICE in the last five seconds"

It seems super basic and obvious as I'm going through it, but not the worst. Not even bad exactly. Some of them feel a little too vague or like a waste of their prompts. Best episode is probably Makeup Tutorial

Two Sentence Horror Stories was capital-F Fine but watching them try and force two-sentence prompts into a typical 20 minute slot really just made me sad that Darknet never got a second season. "Horror anthology but with multiple shorter segments" seems like it's such an obvious premise; I don't get why every anthology show feels the need to either go full-serialized or else to try and reinvent The Twilight Zone format.

Finally got to watch Color Out of Space. I liked it alot, but Nick Cage seemed a little too much in some parts. He was perfect in Mandy, but this got a little distracting. Chong was perfect though, and that recording might have been my favorite part.

Like, he made a clear distinction early on that "this is me, imitating that rear end in a top hat." Then as things unravel, he really leans into it. I actually liked this a lot more than Mandy, although I think that's less due to Cage and more that I just didn't think Mandy came together very well. Unrelated, I watched Come To Daddy last and that was AWESOME. Loved the performances, loved the twists, and actually REALLY loved the score. The music for opening scene before the title card is fantastic and I'd love to own the soundtrack.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I missed the context of all that on my first watch. On rewatch it was a particularly hilarious aspect of the character and I think it was a great way for Cage to make the character stand out as unique among his other crazy roles.

At this point Elijah Wood is maybe one prominent horror role away from being an under the radar indie horror icon.

He's using all the gently caress you money from LOTR to follow his dream. Hopefully he can team up with old school Peter Jackson once again in the future.

I've been an Elijah Wood-head since North, which may have aged dreadfully in the decade since I've watched it, but I will go to my early grave defending that movie. Gotta say, I'm much more impressed with Frodo's post-fame pivot over Harry Potter's. But then I've always hated Harry Potter as a whole for being little beyond infantile wish-fulfillment, so I may be biased.

Neither of them have really done badly. Wood was of course much more established and experienced before he got LOTR, whereas Radcliffe was literally a child when he landed one of the biggest roles of all time. But I think Radcliffe can be proud of what he's done since then, he's done some interesting work and it's not like he ever was a public mess the way a lot of child stars are in their 20s.

Well, I think he did have some tabloid drama around alcoholism, but yeah seemingly nothing more than many people go through in their 20s.TheOmegaWalrus posted:I've been an Elijah Wood-head since North, which may have aged dreadfully in the decade since I've watched it, but I will go to my early grave defending that movie. I agree on Potter, but not on Radcliffe. His very first post-franchise role was Woman in Black, a gothic Hammer horror film, followed quickly by Horns, a dark supernatural mystery, followed soon after Victor Frankenstein, where he plays neither the monster nor the doctor, but Igor. All of which are really interesting choices and a very cool direction for a career as a horror fan. Not to mention playing Ginsberg, a show about the Russian Revolution, a farting corpse in an indie darling, a moronic prince in Miracle Workers, a cop going undercover against white supremacy, a lot of interesting work on the stage... He may not have had as many home runs as Wood, and may not be in the producing game like Wood, but he's certainly swung for the fences more than most people in his position.

I will need to give Victor Frankenstein a spin soon, I may have slept on some quality movies due to some weird internal-typecasting. Slamming down every bit of Hammer's Frankenstein series has pretty much left me with a bottomless stomach when it comes to adaptations of Shelley's story. No man alive is going to top Cushing in The Curse of Frankenstein, but with enough wine and weed, you can bend the narrative a little and end up with a self-made canon plucked from the best cuts from several movies. This is probably how madness beings.
