By Punished Go To PostUnfortunately watching harry potter this evening. I feel that Harry should not be able to unilaterally free Dobby with the gift of a sock. Dobby is the property of the Malfoys.It's different in the book, Malfoy throws the sock off the book and Dobby catches it which seems much more deliberate than Malfoy giving Dobby a book that has a sock inside it.

Well, I didn't expect this but Thanksgiving was pretty great. It might have started as a fake trailer for a Grindhouse movie but the actual movie has the spirit of those late 90s, early 00s slashers like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer.
Funny with some decent kills, it's definitely a good time for any slasher fan.

VHS 99 was okayish, only the last segment was really good but none of the others were bad, the gameshow one was the weaker one but the bonkers ending kind of saved.
Look, I can tolerate the racial whitewashing of historical texts, but putting in a ginger is over-stepping the line.

Red hair and light skin evolved in violent, cannibalistic Neanderthals of Northwestern Europe. When Homo Sapiens bred with Neanderthals, they inherited traits of red hair, light skin, and they became violent, homicidal, cannibalistic, delusional, genocidal, and psychotic.
These red headed Neanderthal/human hybrids have always been “Marked” by God with the name “Maga”.
In Israel, Maga was Maachathites, the enemy of King David and God’s chosen people. Maacha was a princess that King David captured as a concubine bride.
When Early European Farmers mixed with female hunter gatherers of Northwestern Europe, their children became violent, homicidal, envious farmers represented by Biblical Cain, and incestuous rapists represented as Biblical Ham. Donald Trump’s grandparents were born and raised near Herxheim Germany where 1,000 victims of ritual human sacrifice were butchered and eaten. Trump is a direct descendant of Cro-Magnon cannibals.

By data Go To PostI thought Mr crocket was alrightGreat concept, execution wasn't the best. Still worth a watch, it's a very short movie.
If it wasn't for your post, I would have no idea that the movie existed even after checking Disney+.
One thing I definitely didn't like was the streaming quality, first movie I've seen this month from a streaming service that was just 1080p and it shows how bad it is, miles away from 1080p Blu Rays.
By LFMartins86 Go To PostGreat concept, execution wasn't the best. Still worth a watch, it's a very short movie.The monsters were probably my favorite part of it. Kind of like the Banana Split horror where it's like you know I get this is kind of cheap and aimed at youtube zoomers but its alright

Alan Moore. When you're right, you're right.
About a decade ago, I ventured my opinion that the adult multitudes queueing for superhero movies were potentially an indicator of emotional arrest, which could have worrying political and social implications. Since at that time Brexit, Donald Trump and fascist populism hadn't happened yet, my evidently crazy diatribe was largely met with outrage from the fan community, some of whom angrily demanded I be extradited to the US and made to stand trial for my crimes against superhumanity – which I felt didn't necessarily disprove my allegations.
Soon thereafter, caught up in the rush of adolescent life, I drifted out of touch with comic books and their attendant fandom, only returning eight years later when I was commencing work as a professional in that fondly remembered field, to find it greatly altered. Bigger, more commercial, and although there were still interesting fanzines and some fine, committed people, I detected the beginnings of a tendency to fetishise a work's creator rather than simply appreciate the work itself, as if artists and writers were themselves part of the costumed entertainment. Never having sought a pop celebrity relationship with readers, I withdrew by stages from the social side of comics, acquiring my standing as a furious, unfathomable hermit in the process. And when I looked back, after an internet and some few decades, fandom was a very different animal.
An older animal for one thing, with a median age in its late 40s, fed, presumably, by a nostalgia that its energetic predecessor was too young to suffer from. And while the vulgar comic story was originally proffered solely to the working classes, soaring retail prices had precluded any audience save the more affluent; had gentrified a previously bustling and lively cultural slum neighbourhood. This boost in fandom's age and status possibly explains its current sense of privilege, its tendency to carp and cavil rather than contribute or create. I speak only of comics fandom here, but have gained the impression that this reflexive belligerence – most usually from middle-aged white male conservatives – is now a part of many fan communities. My 14-year-old grandson tells me older Pokémon aficionados can display the same febrile disgruntlement. Is this a case of those unwilling to outgrow childhood enthusiasms, possibly because these anchor them to happier and less complex times, who now feel they should be sole arbiters of their pursuit?
On the big screen:
- last night, Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). Never saw it before. Glad I have sleep apnea.
- tonight, Almodóvar's The Room Next Door. Really miserable.

Watched Possession (1981)... idk. In my head I kept thinking "this is genuinely shit" but also the shitness hard a charm to it. If it wasn't shit, it'd be worse? Sam Neill had some of the worst dialogue I've heard in a film in ages... I get that the script will have been translated but ha'way man. He really reminded me of that autistic or whatever doctor that everyone used to post that meme gif of. Which was not good at first but it ended up being a part of the charm.
Heinrich was genuinely funny but probably twice as funny as he was meant to be.
"Do you want me to break down the bloody door!?"
"You don't have to, it's open."
And whatever the fuck he was doing when they fought. "CUT!"

Remember that part in the bible where Jesus trains a guy to fight in MMA?

5/5 film
anora is great and has lots of energy to it. and i had no idea it would be so fucking hilarious. the whole theatre was laughing. felt like it was missing something to elevate it from just great to something greater, however. 4 outta 5 stars.
need to watch baker's other films to see how this one stacks up.

In no way, shape or form is it a 5/5 film.
Watched Jacob's Ladder last night though, that's pretty close to being one. Wish it went a bit harder with the demonic nightmarish imagery (there's a sensational deleted scene that does just this...) but otherwise an extremely cool film.
By FortuneFaded Go To Post
Never, ever has a subtitle made me worry about a film as much as "The Bone Temple". what the fuck
By Hixx Go To PostIn no way, shape or form is it a 5/5 film.
It is in every shape and form for me. And what settles it for me is the sensational over the top and bizarre characters. What a film, had to watch it again just after my first watch last year. Absolutely bizarre and wonderful. Inshallah.
Jacobs ladder is amazing too though.
Frankie Freako was fun and silly time, if you're in the mood for that kind of thing. Not as good as Psycho Goreman tho.
Don't Move was whatever.

Her last two movies were terrible.
I don't think Damien could ever dream that his little fucked up franchise would ever make this much money.
Still carrying on with my 31 days of horror marathon.
Longlegs was good, not great. Definitely weirder and more into the supernatural than I expected, it absolutely nails the sense of uneasiness throughout the movie. The performances were good and fit the constant feeling that something isn't quite right, weird makeup on Cage but a pretty solid performance from him.
Movie looked fantastic, Osgood clearly has a lot of talent and I'm curious to check more of his work.
Infested (aka Vermines) is a blast. A rare type of spiders take over a building in Paris and all goes to shit, think of a mix between a Zombie movie and Aliens. It goes completely bonkers with the spiders which makes for some tense scenes. It goes heavy on the social commentary, but it works thanks to well written characters.
Sébastien Vaniček clearly impressed people with this as he was given complete freedom to go wild on an Evil Dead spin-off by Sam Reimi.

I also enjoyed Longlegs. The pre-marketing hype did it a disservice though. It isn't Silence of the Lambs. It's not going to be iconic like that, and the Cage stuff specifically surrounding his appearance in the film was rather unjust. The heartbeat monitor gimmick they used for the first time Maika Monroe sees Nic's character is a marketing stunt the movie doesn't pay off on.

Movie made almost 11 times its budget, which is just insane for such a weird movie.
