FreudianSlippers posted:For like a movie to be uhhh mumblecore the uhh characters need to speak in this like sorta naturalistic way that's full of all the stuff that's you know usually removed from movie dialogue and uhh that's both a stylistic choice and also a byproduct of most of the dialogue being improvised. The Fly remake is the mumblecoriest, then.

I remember watching Genocyber when I was fairly young, and didn't have a good grasp on English yet so the dub didn't do much to help me understand what was going on. But I was equal parts disturbed by and in love with it, and I did appreciate that anytime something Genocyberial happened, it had some loving consequences.

Burkion posted:The best thing Hellsing does is imply an AMAZING adaptation of Dracula that we never get to see. It'd be like an extended, anime version of a Peter Cushing Christopher Lee thing, only Christopher Lee is ultra super powerful with stupid anime abilities and Cushing *CRUSHES HIM* despite that as just an ordinary man. I've only got the vaguest impression of Hellsing so please correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Peter Cushing also have a rocking pair of tits in this?

Saw Triangle because I saw it recommended on here a dozen or so pages back. I wasn't impressed, but then again I'm not a big fan of the gimmick, with a few notable exceptions (image spoilered even though it's not a 100% fit): There is the very real possibility that I'm just too dumb for those kind of movies, though. Like, I still haven't figured out where the enthusiastically homicidal Jess came from. I guess if she went on the boat knowing about her dead son she could start killing them as soon as they get aboard... but then where does the original first Jess come from, considering that she just has always reacted the same way before coming aboard? And wasn't there a Jess clubbing another Jess to death? We never got to follow those Jesses, so variations seem possible during each loop... but then how does the ship not crawl with infinite Jesses and Liam Hemsworths and whatnot?[spoiler] I just don't get it. The atmosphere is pretty good before the first [spoiler]loop even starts, and once it became clear what was happening the movie managed to still throw me for a loop a few times. But ultimately it felt a bit half-baked.

OldTennisCourt posted:I will give the film the slight edge because they made it clear that this was the final shot of keeping the lead off of drugs and an OD so it't not like they were just hanging out On the other hand, the friend who makes this clear is quickly revealed to be a dumbass way in over her head. I rewatched the movie recently and liked it better than the first time around, but a sore point remains that pretty much everyone turns into a gigantic idiot at one point or another. The worst offender this time around was the main dude sending his girlfriend back into the haunted cabin while he duct-tapes his friend's wounds, resulting in her death. Like, dude couldn't go fetch that sugar water himself? Did he think his girlfriend couldn't handle the delicate medical procedure of putting duct-tape on a guy?

Darko posted:That was kind of the idea for the early movies, but then it turned into straight up hell somewhere along the way, ending in Barker's "final Hellraiser novel" that had Pinhead as a mid level demon trying to usurp Satan. That one always read as Barker rolling his eyes at Pinhead fans. Like, Pinhead has a Dragonball fight with Satan while wearing Satan's power-augmenting armor. And if you try to read any of his monologues in Doug Bradley's voice, it just doesn't work. Pinhead is just kind of silly and a huge prick.

Then Enterprise was the opposite they had a cool premise and initial take on the setting and then squandered it with characters I almost universally couldn't stand. Voyager had a cool premise too, they just mostly forgot about it a few episodes into the show.

Pomp posted:does gun horror even work on people from countries that aren't plagued by gun violence? It's certainly funny watching non-American action movies when you're not from the US. After a lifetime of watching movies where people just whip out guns like they're car keys, it was kinda weird watching The Raid 2 and realizing that almost nobody is shooting anybody. I imagine it's similar with horror movies, although I can't think of relevant examples I've seen. You just get used to it.

Lurdiak posted:Ehhhh. He wasn't as openly hateful as Lovecraft but there's a lot of racism against black people in his stories, even if they're from made up parts of the world, and there's even more weird racial essentialism, like everyone from a certain country is automatically good at this thing and likes this kind of thing, not because of culture, but because it's in their blood. It's really just high fantasy, but with black people instead of orcs and whatnot. It's interesting to read, but also very exhausting. I still haven't finished reading the The Complete Chronicles of Conan and likely never will.

Gripweed posted:I'm hoping you guys could help me with something; I'm looking for movies that deal with societal breakdown, but as a gradual process. The movie starts with things are fine or at least OK, and then over the course of the movie stuff gets worse on a citywide, nationwide, or worldwide scale. If you don't mind anime, Gyo might interest you. It was advertised as SHARKS WITH LEGS ATTACK but that is only a small part from relatively early in the movie. The movie gets really weird and creepy with how this monster fish attack pans out, and that it happens so gradually is exactly why.
