You know what I can't stop laughing at? The fact that a guy got so mad that Trump lost the election that he accidentally tased himself in the balls and died.

I just watched Congo for the first time in years last night. It's really special in so many ways. Not terribly horny, though. Which is fine.

But I haven't seen TCM 2 since I was 19ish and I never saw Eaten Alive. I just flat out hated Funhouse but I get why people would like it. It's just not for me. I haven't seen all of Poltergeist so I can't give a full opinion on that. I've been meaning to revisit TCM 2 for a long time. The other thing is that the original TCM is one of my all timers so I have a lot of bias around this poo poo. I consider it to be among the best films I've ever seen.

COMPLETELY different film experience than the first one, though. The original is one of my favorites too, I would agree it's one of the greatest films ever made, possibly the greatest horror film of all time.

I think that's the same reason I didn't take to it. And I don't like to say "One of the greatest ever made." because there are just too many movies. But if I had to make that call I'd throw that in there. It's much easier to say it could be the best horror film ever made because that's a narrower scope and TCM had a lot of cheap imitators too.

The manic energy of TCM 2 won me over. Chop Top is one of the best horror villains out there. Just an absolutely unhinged and down right fun performance. I don’t love it as much as I did, but it’s still a favorite of mine.

If I wanted to narrow it down further I might call it The Great American Horror Film, the holy trinity of which for me is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, and A Nightmare on Elm Street. The outliers in that ranking would be the first two Evil Dead films, which kind of feel a little too niche, and the first two Living Dead films, which almost feel like they’re bigger than the phrase “The Great American Horror Film” implies

Rewatched Predator and wrote about it a bit. Bit of a ramble https://letterboxd.com/queenceleste/film/predator/ Copy/paste so you don't have to click the link quote:It's been at least a decade since I last watched this movie, and upon rewatch it still holds up as one of the better action movies of the 80s and a highlight of Schwarzenegger's career. However, it also occurred to me in this rewatch that it's actually a much smarter movie than I had previously given it credit for.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHg7TKIBUNY Stumbled on this conversation between Clancy Brown and Michael Rosenbaum(they both played Lex Luthor at one point). Anyway, Brown says here that he thinks the producers of The Highlander barely read the script, so they offered the role to Sean Connery because they assumed that a Scottish actor would be a perfect fit for a movie called The Highlander. I'm pretty sure Brown is just saying that based on general disdain for producers but still got an lol out of me imagining that it might be true. Edit: oh I see, a minute later he says that they actually did want Connery to play the title role. Interesting, I never knew that. Basebf555 fucked around with this message at 15:20 on Feb 11, 2021 |

Did The Highlander invent the katana and trenchcoat combo, or just popularize it?

Lifeforce bugs me a little because the big V’ger space-madness sequence was very obviously meant to be a flashback/dream-sequence later in the film Putting the big centrepiece effects sequence at the very beginning means that things don’t really escalate, and you also know - right off the bat - that these are vampire aliens, instead of having some mystery.

KVeezy3 posted:Nice write-up! Arnold's classic work are buried in my imagination from seeing bits and pieces on television as a kid, I bet they've aged well. Yea maybe it was because of how careful and methodical Arnold was with his career choices, but a very high percentage of those movies still hold up extremely well today. At least for a decade, from 1982 when he did Conan to 1991 when he did Terminator 2, I'd be perfectly happy to sit down and watch any of those films. There isn't a stinker in the whole bunch(Red Heat is debatable). Then of course starting in 1993 he became a bit more inconsistent but he was still batting around .500 with stuff like True Lies, Eraser, and Jingle All the Way so overall he made far less bad movies than the typical action star or A-list star of any genre.

El Gallinero Gros posted:I wonder how many of those he took on because of that Crusades project he was attached to falling apart It's interesting because the most obvious scheduling conflict there would've been T2, because the Crusades project fell apart in 1990 and that's around the time T2 was shooting. I can only assume that if Arnold was unavailable T2 still would've happened, just a year later. Kindergarten Cop was filmed in 1990 so maybe Arnold wouldn't have had the time for it if the Crusades project was happening.
