Have another Night of the Living Dead edit - this time I intercut it with two Edison Studios comedies: The Watermelon Patch and Laughing Gas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zNLUnJNISg

RandallODim posted:I watched VHS 2 last night and Safe Haven is super dope, as is Slumber Party Alien Abduction and the fact that the frame ends as a stupid comedy. The first two are just wet farts though. gently caress you, the GoPro zombie short was brilliant and at least as good as "Safe Haven." But, yeah, the first one about the cyber-eye was garbo.

RandallODim posted:GoPro Zombie just didn't do anything for me. It wasn't actively lame like ghost cybernetics, which squandered a solid premise, but it just didn't feel like it did anything especially unique in any meaningful sense. I think I just wish that the tone of comedy horror to 'zombie learns he can't eat a wallet' was the more predominant element, though that might be just because the ending leans way hard into pathos in a way that didn't work at all for me. I don't think it's a hard lean at all. The film plays very interestingly with the conventions of 'point-of-view,' underscoring how the GoPro gives us the illusion that we're taking in a 'subjective experience,' but one which is functionally always 'above' the action, and which isn't influenced by external stimuli at the interpersonal level which a 'subjective' should communicate. "A Ride in the Park" is an objective account from the perspective of the videodrome, revealing symbolically that the 'undead' are really just 'sick people.' It's also the only short which explicitly parallels the frame narrative, both prominently featuring themes of isolation (this time domesticity rather than open nature), suicide, degeneration of 'traditional family values.' "Safe Haven" and "Slumber Party Alien Abduction" are both solid, solid shorts, but "A Ride in the Park" has just as much going on underneath the hood.

Technically the first movie I saw in 2017 was Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared almost immediately after the ball dropped, so I can't feel too bad about Maximum Ride.

My fav bit so far is when Curtis deliberately pisses off Gaddafi's son just so he'll go on a rant about how Libya is only fake because America is fake, but if you wanna be cool America has to like you.

weekly font posted:You motherfuckers are gonna make me rewatch Existenz. Good, that was the objective all along. If you don't get a sensation every time you watch a David Cronenberg movie like, "Oh, now this is my new favorite David Cronenberg movie," you're not watching them right. Dead Ringers is my favorite.

My worst Cronenberg (but I have not seen A Dangerous Method) is Maps to the Stars, but it's the same scenario as Boogey - it's not because Maps is bad, it's just that, say, Cosmopolis is already really, really loving good. Some other personal favs: - Fast Company (same year as The Brood, nice kitschy power-fantasy complement) - M. Butterfly (actually, that's probably my favorite, or tied with Dead Ringers) - Spider

Samuel Clemens posted:I can't decide if Nocturnal Animals would be better or worse if you cut out all scenes taking place in the 'real' world. Way worse - the novel is largely just lurid tripe with 'autobiographical' details, the point is that the protagonist makes it about some sadomasochistic frenzy. It's basically a good version of 50 Shades of Grey.

The Moroder cut rules. I love when the score just gives way to an echoing flushing sound of water during the flooding scene, it was really stark and menacing.

Mulholland Drive is def a horror movie. And not just existential horror (which is Lynch's forte, anyway), the film builds incredible set pieces out of the suggestion of unknowable threat. For its reputation as borderline incomprehensible, it's actually just a very straightforward ghost story that doesn't get hung-up on exposition or psychological realism.

Death By The Blues posted:I do like that Matt Johnson is going against the grain and criticizing the boring mumblecore nothing happens fetish. Also, was in a couple classes with him, cooooooooool dude. Operation Avalanche is definitely an expansion on 'mumblecore,' but I think it's a much clearer descendent of Man Bites Dog, and possibly A Scanner Darkly. It has a lot of histrionic fun with the plasticity of American mythology - it's a great black comedy about the concept of 'counter-intelligence,' also explored in HyperNormalization.
