I've seen this and wouldn't call it tasteless. It's a bit of a slower movie and it's not about werewolves but I thought it was pretty well done.

I love Christine already, but having one of my favorite show runners directing a remake? I'm cool with that. Bryan Fuller is the only person I could think of that could maybe top a Carpenter film and could adapt a King property with his own spin and pinache.


now finishing it is a whole other story. hopefully Blumhouse knows what he's getting into and just lets Fuller go and do the work.

Wasn't it, oddly enough, the first Carpenter film to get a 4k UHD release?

I know it was the first 4k UHD I bought.

It was the first by like 2 weeks. Halloween UHD came out on the 28th of September 2018, Christine dropped 10th of September 2018.

A semi-recentish episode of an online movie chat about show talked about PG and they really nailed down that the girl character is the lynchpin to it all. Either you learn to love her or she just runs rough shod over the easily enjoyable parts of the movie. It can be a hard movie to love and that’s alright.

It's funny you mention that because The Lost World, directed by Spielberg, has some pretty grim and dragged-out deaths worse than the assistant in JW. I mean, I remember watching it in theatres when I was 12 and being rattled when that guy just gets straight-up murdered by the T-Rex outside that video store.

Legit Eddie’s death in JP2 still haunts me. He did. Absolutely no wrong. He was just a tech guy with a heart of gold trying to save like not even his friends. They were practically coworkers but still he took care of the stowaway daughter and dealt with 2 trexes admirably but still got flipped in the air and ripped in half like a spaghetti noodle. Now that’s an unfair death, but I also guess that just highlights how unfair the world of dinosaurs is. Like how many times did those dinosaurs in world pull that same routine with each other using smaller dinosaurs. That was far too perfect to be done off the cuff. Brutal brutal dinosaur world.

It’s still just so weird that you have the Resident Evil games which are very much so, based on horror with an emphasis on survival. The first one takes place in essentially an old-school haunted mansion with all sorts of monsters, your character is very vulnerable with limited ammunition, and the whole vibe is all about suspense.

So instead of making an actual horror film, or even a zombie film, they made a very generic action movie with a protagonist that is an invincible Mary-Sue and very little suspense. I know if you made a one to one remake of the game it might feel a bit unoriginal since it was very inspired by horror media but it would certainly be better than what we got. And I even have a bit of a soft spot for the movies (mostly nostalgia for that era) but seems like a missed opportunity.

The original George Romero script was an “adaptation” of the first game

https://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/resident_evil_romero.html

This was rejected by the EP of Constantin. George assumed they rejected it because the studio wanted it to be more of a prestige film and less an adaptation. Real reason is it would be too gory for German audiences which Constantin is a German production company.

Read the script to find out why I did the finger quotes on “adaptation”.

I'd be curious to see the correlation between folks who like/dislike the Resident Evil movies and folks' preferences on the Alien franchise. I suspect there would be some pretty clear camps.

S-Tier: Alien
A-Tier: Aliens, Prometheus, Covenant / Resident Evil 1
B-Tier: Alien 3 / Resident Evil 2,4
D-Tier: Alien 4 / Resident Evil 3,5,6

There is a definite tier to the quality of the movies, but the franchise being a billion dollar action series is well warranted and deserved. Fast 5 is one of the greatest action movies of the decade. Right up there with Fury Road.

drat that's high praise. Do I need to watch the others or can I just pop in 5?

There is character growth and progression between the movies and a soap opera amnesia storyline. So like if you have a long weekend and want to really dig into the series its an easy recommend. It's an interesting franchise to watch grow because the first one is very grounded and a fun summer flick that is definitely a pre-9/11 action movie so it learns all these weird lessons and cuts from the 90's action films infused with a late 90's soundtrack without the baggage of 9/11 and being afraid to show death and destruction.

Must Watch: 1, Tokyo Drift (3), 5, and 7
B-tier: 4, 6
C-tier: 2, 8

I like em for all sorts of reasons and its been cool to see a franchise largely led by minorities and such a wide ranging cast succeed so often with each movie.

skip Hobbes and Shaw if that ever falls into your radar. that movie is death.

5 and 6 are both really good, haven’t seen most of the others. I don’t think I’d go as far as to call them Fury Road level, but as far as big dumb action movies go they are definitely some of the best

e: and no it doesn’t matter if you’ve seen the others

5 is definitely Fury Road level. Comparable in stunt complexity, design, clarity in following the action and progressive story beats that leads into easily top 5 car chases of all time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaHxGu5YeKM

Kvlt dont watch it if you dont want it spoiled, but the work that went into making the final action scene possible was just incredible work and if they gave out Oscars for stunts would've easily nabbed it.

Fast Five has one really good car chase but that does not make it Fury Road level imo. still worth a watch if you like car chases though.

He's the director who makes films that I know are good and have great acting performances in but absolutely struggle to get any enjoyment out of. Even The Master, which I was so wanting to love.

That’s where I come in on it. Same goes with Aronofsky. They’re technical marvels, especially something like mother! Where I was floored by just the set design, cinematography and ostentatious of it all but when you start breaking down a lot of his movies it’s all varying levels of shock and awe that while a fun theater going experience and maybe even a good movie he never hits the emotional merits that he wants to hit. The Wrestler is his crowning achievement. It’s so subdued, incisively emotional and heavy, but not heavy for heavies sake. It earns all of his high points and more.

Yeah, Berberian is definitely the go-to comparison for sure, and I quite like that it brings you into the madness but not so much to the point where the plot starts becoming too incoherent. Thought it did a great job of really pushing the 80s-ness heavily, the poliics, smoking, treatment of women etc. It's heavily done, but not silly. Stuck the landing for sure, which made me super happy.

For anyone not so familiar with the video nasty politics in the UK, then I'd heartily recommend watching Video Nasties Moral Panic, Censorship & Videotape prior just to get a feel of everything. It's essential viewing regardless. https://www.shudder.com/movies/watch/video-nasties-moral-panic-censorship--videotape/2898255

I had to laugh when she was given a tape that she was told was terrible quality copy, expecting a 10th gen dub but it plays back perfectly and has full color boxart and everything. Not exactly how my boots looked!

Berbian but also Evil Ed. In fact that would be a great triple feature of Berbian into Censor and the midnite movie is Evil Ed.

Censor was cool, everyone go watch it.
