The marathon was the first time I'd seen any of the Phantasm films past 3. I actually really enjoyed Oblivion. Ravager was obviously a mess, but Angus Scrimm was killer to the end.

Eye trauma is something I always have to flinch away from, but Fulci's work makes me watch it. It's just so good it loops around my phobia and becomes impressive.

I listen to HDTGM occasionally because they're generally funny. I don't dig a lot of movie critique podcasts because most of them fall into the categories of "this is how I'd do it, which would be better" or just getting performatively mad. Nameless Cults is a dope podcast though.

I hope whoever directed the rest of 'em took cues from his work on the first couple. They're SO GOOD.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Well poo poo No, I got screeners for them. While the other episodes are definitely a step down from Saulnier (and even Fukunaga and Justin Lin) visually, Ali still puts in the best performance from any season imo. And David Milch co-wrote an episode, so it's fun picking up random, clearly Milch-y sentences.

The original miniseries has a really good cast and a few decent moments, but it definitely short-changes the book. I'm excited to see what a miniseries with less restrictions will do with it. I doubt their Randall Flagg will come close to Jamey Sheridan's though.

I haven't watched it yet, but friends that have told me it's a lot more of a comedy and art world parody than a horror, which is fine by me. Roman J. Israel, Esq. was good and Nightcrawler was fantastic, so even if Velvet Buzzsaw is bad I'm not going to write off Dan Gilroy.

I’ve been listening to The Horror Show but they have some dumb takes on modern horror movies (too much tactical realism for me) which is too bad because I like the hosts.

CelticPredator posted:I watched more horror movies this year than movies in general lmao. Speaking of, I finally watched Overlord. I think we talked about it in Gen Chat. It was whatever. I really like John Magaro, so it was nice seeing him in a decent role. Ian De Caestecker was wasted. Wyatt Russell finally gave me a young Kurt Russell vibe instead of a young Jeff bridges vibe. Overall it was a bit of a letdown. There were a few times where it threatened to ramp things up, but it never went full-anything. So even the final act just felt like it was a second gear. I didn't feel like I wasted my time, but nothing really stuck with me either.

Yeah, he's killed it in funnier roles (22 Jump Street, Lodge 49, Ingrid Goes West) but he clearly has the chops for action. He's very good in a smallish role in Cold in July, which isn't action, but it's worth checking out if you haven't.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:This take was actually doing the rounds quite a bit when that movie came out. I don’t agree, I think The Hills Have Eyes is Craven’s first real masterpiece, but the remake is very solid. I rewatched the remake after the original was on Joe Bob's Dinners of Death and I think I put them on par now. Michael Berryman is pretty hard to beat, but I think the stuff with the family is done better by Aja.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:If you mean the “good” family maybe, but one of my big complaints about the remake is how one dimensional it makes the cannibal family compared to the original, where they all have defined personalities beyond just “likes to kill and eat people”. But yeah the red state vs blue state dynamic between Ted Levine and his son in law in the remake is pretty fun (that stuff was already there to an extent in the original but the remake did a good job putting a modern twist on it) Yeah, that's what I mean, the tourist family. They amped up that clashing dynamic and Levine and Aaron Stanford are perfect for those parts. I prefer the hill people family from the original.

Neo Rasa posted:IIRC in the mid-00s he wanted to return to mostly acting on stage so he never became a household name but he's popped up in The Walking Dead and other stuff for a few episodes regularly since then too. Fair enough. That was kind of William Petersen's deal, right? He preferred doing theatre work and staying around his family even though he killed it in Manhunter and To Live and Die in LA. He did do some supporting parts throughout the '90s though.

He's in that decent 12 Angry Men TV adaptation, and -- to be more related to the thread -- a crappy TV movie called The Beast that I loved as a kid. It was Peter Benchley doing another Jaws.

When I heard that Us "falls apart" when you think about it too much I was really worried that they'd over-explain why there are doppelgangers, how they work, where they came from, etc.. I was pleasantly surprised that they don't do that. If you're like me and don't give a poo poo about having a step-by-step layout of how things work in the film's world then I'm sure you'll dig it.

Mel Mudkiper posted:If anything I think they explain too much It borders on too much. I thought the first sort of exposition dump in the house worked really well, because it was vague and creepy. The second one was... fine, if a little too long. The flashbacks for the reveal of the "twist" were a little too long, mostly because the twist was pretty obvious from the beginning. I guess I expected worse, but I agree that I'd have been happy with no explanation.

I think you can see that Carradine doesn't hate Moriarty in the diner scene, and later he's just busting his balls for good reason. But yeah, it does wrap up a little too neatly, character-wise.

Easy Diff posted:I guess I just thought it would be more of a running fight than a siege. A siege makes no sense if it's on the Nazi's property, they can bust down the door and stab all of them immediately and pass off any damage as just a band trashing their green room. Like, the whole gun discussion through the door made negative sense, especially since they already had the red-lacers there. As soon as that door opens a crack, it's getting kicked in and everyone is dead. Why is there any negotiation? They don't want The Ain't Rights to disappear because cops might come looking for them. They want them found, off-property. And the gun discussion through the door was to make it safe for their guys to stab the band or send in the dogs.

Drunkboxer posted:If I remember correctly he weirdly spoils the whole movie in extreme detail in one long rant as a bit. Like you couldn’t possibly spoil it more It's not really weird. He treats it like you've either seen the film before or you're the kind of audience who would be used to the old type of trailers that lay out the entire film in a few minutes. But yeah, if you want to avoid something like that then doing a first-time watch through Joe Bob is a bad idea.
