When I first came to sa the thread was a bit intimidating due to its size and how much posting was going on. So I get it. I’m glad I took the plunge though, it’s my favorite thread and I try and spread its love as much as I can

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

Probably yeah. But there’s probably a psychological difference when you look at a thread you haven’t read that has 3 pages vs one that has 300.

horror franchises do reboots to shake things up and un-gently caress their continuity and history all the time; are we really honoring horrors legacy if the thread about it doesn't do the same?

That doesn’t really happen anymore. Feels like Jason X was too awesome and killed that trend. It’s all about Legacy sequels now. We need everyone from the first version of the thread to comeback and help out a bunch of zoomers.

in my defense i grew up a Red Sox fan in Boston and didnt recognize the NY yankees logo was an N and a Y combined and not just some strange symbol they made up until i was like 13 so honestly im impressed my 2 brain cells rubbed together enough to realize Jason X meant ten too and not just a cool title lol

I interviewed a NK escapee who came to my school and made a thread. Then life got in the way and the translation had to be postponed. I did finish it in the end, but nobody is going to pay 10 bux to update my.avatar

It happens to me all the time where I'll be posting about a particular movie and it occurs to me that I've definitely made some form of this same post at least a few times before. But then I think, eh it's been literally 15 years of posting so gently caress it.

Feel free to disregard this post.

It is guaranteed to be lazy, ignorant, and/or uninformed.
I think rebooting after the May challenge would be the thing to do. We could get a new intro etc.. the thread is 4 1/2 years old which I think means its time to reboot.

Unless people want to reboot it when it hits 5 years.

Renfeld was pretty good. Not great. Really flat script but of course Cage elevates it. It otherwise needed another punch up both for story and humor.

Senritsu Kaiki File Kowasugi! The Most Terrifying Movie in History is a ride. I'm not even disappointed that the series has kind of gone from genuinely creepy to just outright bonkers.

Also love how genuinely funny it can be My manager told me this was a variety show! Did not see the ending coming, though of course the last remaining character who has to save the day in a found footage flick has to be the camera guy

This series is so fun. I really hope someday Arrow or screamfactory or someone picks up the rights for a box set

Very slow, but very atmospheric and builds up to a batshit finish that I loved.

Definitely not for everyone though. I say "batshit" finish, but a lot of people found it anticlimactic

I really enjoyed it, it’s a slow burn with a cool and original story. I do remember thinking the last act was a little weak, but only relative to how much I enjoyed the build up. It’s very solid overall.

I liked it enough to watch it twice! But I think they let the dear god talk too much. The first couple of scenes with him gave me legitimate chills, not so much when he's just right there in the room yapping.

Entirely fair, the ending in general felt rushed to me. Took a long time for that bear trap to snap shut though.

Except Kvlt!, who only refreshes the page when his rusted Winnebago makes it to the next small rural town where he's terrorizing a group of college kids on Spring Break.

For the most part I aim to check on the thread twice a day on my computer. My smartphone's more for work stuff, texting my fiance, kindle books, and backup movie streaming watching. Sometimes when it's mad busy at work, I'll forget to check the thread for a few days, but'll try to catch up when I can.

They see me rollin';
they hatin'.
This is such a rare event, so I need to share it.

I actually had to turn off a movie tonight:
The Innocents.

I’d intended to watch it for the May marathon, but as a heads-up to everyone, not twenty minutes in there are multiple instances of a child abusing a (non-verbal) autistic sibling and then animal abuse (housecat). I couldn’t do it after that. Even my partner, who loves Takeshita Miike, wanted it off.

It puts me back in mind of one of Stephen King’s pro-horror arguments (I think it’s King in “Daring the Nightmare”?). The genre allows audiences escape from the real life evil in news, in the world.
Movie evil defies some natural law(s) or real-world rules and it’s contained on a screen. The viewer knows the movie cannot hurt them and so they can walk out with a smile.

I come back to horror because I love the fantasy and the nightmare control the screen can give. Hell, Troma can turn my stomach, but I can still see it’s so over the top to not take it 100% seriously.

But when the movie treads too close to realistic depictions of plausible evil, I can’t watch. It’s not fun, it’s not escape, it’s cruel.
