Back in the day it was because I only saw it in a tiny compressed JPG and I couldn’t visually parse it, but seeing it in better detail still don’t get it - there’s a sand worm, sure, but it’s, uh, servicing a giant black biomechanical penis? A biomechanical penis is Gigers equivalent of a signature. Somebody fucked around with this message at 15:04 on Apr 17, 2021 |

a hot gujju bhabhi posted:I really wanna talk about Martyrs (2008) and no one I know has seen it or would want to. I assume it's definitely come up in this thread before, what are peoples thoughts? I think it says a lot about a film that when we get to the 30 minutes of relentless beatings it feels like a cool down from what’s happened prior. I still need to see ‘Inside’, but might save it for October.

I put off Inside for a long time because for whatever reason pregnancy things can bother me but once I finally saw it it didn’t land as hard as I expected. The cuts to the cg fetus kind of took me out of it.

My mother (born in 1954 in a small Icelandic fishing village) tells me that in her youth "spooky" was used for slang for anything that was cool, fun, or good. So one might say that the Stones were a spooky band or that someone was wearing a spooky dress, etc. I want to revive this.

Spooky as in the English word. So spúkí. We also say kúl, sjitt, and fokk.

I really dug The Empty Man, after hearing a few podcasters rave about it as a "new cult classic". Visually it's great and the soundtrack is fantastic (give Lustmord more work!) Acting is so-so but overall, I really loved the repetition of certain visual motifs and the beauty of the shot setups. Lots of good stuff in it and I was pleased to see that it was the first feature from the director and that he'd put together a short called AM 1200 which I saw at the HP Lovecraft Film Festival 13 years ago and thought was absolutely great. Crazy to me that it took another ten years for him to actually get a feature gig. I definitely recommend - it's not quite the Slenderman flick the trailers make it look like it will be.

are there any special editions of Kurosawa's Cure and Pulse around? I've been on a real j-horror bender lately but don't know where to go for decent physical editions of subbed Japanese media

If you mean region A, there an Arrow special edition of Pulse. For Cure, there's only a region B release from Masters of Cinema. Both transfers look a bit older and soft.

I was wary of the 2h15m runtime but it didn’t feel overly long. Still could’ve maybe been trimmed down a little (there is a lot of exposition in the third act) but the pacing didn’t feel off to me. Lots of cool creepy stuff in it and I especially liked the first segment in Bhutan.

I watched it last night and thought it had some really cool ideas that got somewhat bogged down by the more conventional horror poo poo. It's good, but it could've been great.

So Midori It's about half as vile as its reputation and badly made. Was this the state of shock cinema in 1992 that we were reduced to this? Most extreme anime nowadays is way worse. Is it just the monomania of its creator and the mythmaking of its history that people revere it?

Sells it as a bye bye man/slenderman ish film, and it's way more of a lovecraftian vibe. Watched it tonight. Good movie, but a little bit long. Found out the director was forced to release it without editing much and it has at least 6 extra minutes in it, so that might explain some of the bits that seemed a lil dragging. Loved the opening though, and the cave design.

Part of The Empty Man involves looking up "tulpas" online and the main characters reads from the Wikipedia page on them. I was curious if that page was real and what it actually said, so I went there myself and found something more cursed than anything in the film:

There's also a fun Last Podcast episode about them where they found forums and online posts of people who made Tulpas and expressly warning others not to have sex with them. They aren't a new idea, and I think it's interesting that they are becoming more prominent in stories in the past few years.

The X-Files episode where Mulder and Scully moved to the suburbs had a tulpa that was the reified tyranny of the neighbourhood HOA. One of the more ahead-of-its-time eps imo

I realized I had never seen any other Nightmare on Elm Street movies than Freddy vs Jason, and to fix that I got all the movies. I understand that it's a pretty uneven series and not all of the movies are great, but are any "not even worth watching" bad?
