The_Doctor posted:It's probably the loudest horror I've ever seen. When the roommate was going on about the number of footsteps and whatnot, and Suzy clearly just wanted to be left alone to sleep, I was totally in Suzy's camp. It's great how the sound design even makes her initial walk through the airport terminal scary. The sound of the sliding door opening and closing is very jarring.

The_Doctor posted:It's probably the loudest horror I've ever seen. Having a good setup really elevates some movies, like I absolutely blasted Suspiria and Berberian Sound Studio and it added so much. I'm so glad I didn't watch Suspiria back on a 3rd generated dubbed VHS back in the day... it's too pretty to be washed away in a sea of red chroma bleed on a bedroom TV.

First time I saw Suspiria was in a theater during a film festival where Argento was the guest of honour. They also screened Inferno 💀 and Dracula 3D 💩

You people and all your celebrity connections. My only significant celebrity encounter was pissing off John Goodman at his house in New Orleans. We rang the doorbell at his gate (having been told by Google where his house was), and the man himself came out and yelled at me.

What era of Goodman we talking? Fat n’ classic, pre-sobriety Goodman or deflated older/wiser Goodman?

His name was Todd, and whenever he wasn't touring as the drum tech, he was working at the record store my friend worked at. I spent many a Friday night there poking at CDs and DVDs while bullshitting with my friend, and hearing all kinds of cool stories from the road. I kinda miss the carefree post-high school days, when the most I had to worry about was getting up in time to work in the warehouse, or making sure my other friend didn't bleed to death in a storm drain.

It was 2013, so sorta in between? He walked out of his door in a t shirt and shorts and marched down the walkway toward the gate, staring me down with some intense disdain. Not the jolly fella I was expecting. It was my wife and me on our honeymoon. She saw him and bolted, but I stayed. I was absolutely caught off guard and all I could think to do was to pretend I rang the bell so I could give him back a tennis ball that was sitting next to the gate. He gave me a sarcastic "thank you very much", and I handed him the ball and I said "I'm sorry, this is probably really annoying isn't it?" He said, "yeah, it really is. This is my house, it's not a zoo." Then he turned and walked away.

I'm basically film business royalty. My dad worked as the security guard for Enemy Mine in 1984. They were filming in the Westman Islands south of Iceland and figured that since they were on a small island where the only way to the mainland is a four hour ferry ride they could just leave their equipment on set in unlocked sheds. They were wrong and some islanders helped themselves to it. So the production hired some fishermen (my dad and a few others) with free time to sit around and watch it after they wrapped each day. Then all the footage shot in Iceland was scrapped and production was started with a blank slate.

From the movies, I've only ever met John Saxon. He was cool. I've met a ton of mostly late 90's/early 2000's rockers though, for better and worse.

Should've said "legs". Plural. Some have many autographs some only one or two. One of whom (the one with Lynch, Forman, and Jarmusch) was sadly lost.

Like James Karen and Thom Matthews are hilarious running around doing slapstick with a guy painted yellow and then absolutely tragic later as they get more and more horrifically sick. “Send more cops” is really silly and funny and then you get Tar-Man haunting my nightmares. It’s the perfect balance of legitimately funny, goofy and satirical while still being cruel, scary, and cynical. So good!

ROTLD 3 has a good idea and a strong lead performance. And its Yuzna so its got impressive memorable gore. But its also Yuzna so its kind of sloppy storywise and has weird racist and edgy stuff. Its certainly more notable and worth watching than any of the other ROTLD sequels.

I didn't find ROTLD 2 unbearably bad because it has some nice zombie effects.

I don't think its unwatcheable or anything. But its the same thing done worse. 3 is different and better, if very flawed. 4 and 5...

I enjoyed 2 a lot more than I thought I would, it's basically a less competent retread, but it's fun enough. Three is excellent though, and I advise everyone to watch it and then read Fran's effort post from the last Bracketology thread.

Spiral From The Book Of Saw is out this month and i am looking forward to seeing how they gently caress up the chronology as more and more acolytes step from the shadows also keen to see Chris Rock and Samuel L Jackson in a horror movie, not gonna lie

I'm very curious. Introducing two major actors who qualify as big box office draws for the ninth entry in a lower budget series for a cult fan base is a fascinating twist. And apparently only possible because Chris Rock is a member of that fan base.

RotLD 3 is a movie I find very good but I can't watch very often because at the end I'm just left bummed out by the climax. Not in a bad way, in the way that it works really well for me.
