It probably has a 15 page list of writers, so why not.

Probably better than whatever ****ty movie you were gonna watch about two people crying in a sock or whatever.

:laughing:

What kind of movie is that? Is it a sub-genre I'm not aware of?

I don't know man you tell me.

Let me guess, it's "indie cinema"?

Not as funny as Hereditary, but very fun and entertaining.

Overcoming childhood trauma was an interesting angle for them to take. Beyond that, it's a ****ing slasher flick, you get exactly what you heated your popcorn up for.

I kind of miss the way old horror movies were shot, how they would just show **** happening and the story unfolding without the camera stopping on a person sneezing in an upside down hallway with gaudy lighting for twenty minutes while someone sits on a dreamy synthesizer, because art.

Jk, I still love arty horror flicks. I just hope they don't go the way of Prog Rock and become hilariously constrained self parodies that entirely miss the point of what they were supposed to be in the first place.

And hey, I'll take a standard arty flick over the waves of ****ing cheapo modern horror cash-ins anyday. It's like people making low budget garbage films forgot how to do anything but insert godawful CGI and make millenial jokes. Seriously, how do these movies somehow look worse than movies made twenty years before with half the budget?

I know why you used the term it's just colloquially "abnormal" has pretty negative connotations. Usually it's in reference to something deviating from the norm in a bad way. A lump on my right testicle is abnormal.

I'm not one to peg people for syntax, but I'm just sayin'.

Learn you some psychology, boi.

My entire life has been the product of reverse psychology up to this point.

You guys REALLY need to learn how to extrapolate. I CLEARLY used the word "abnormal" because it's "normal" for people to have "abs." That's just how words work. And I finished the sentence off with a period because "period" is synonymous with "era," which is Ebonics for the word "error," which you have CLEARLY committed by questioning my authority over the English language.

And I clearly used another word so I never called you a nigger.

With enough practice, you can be ironic without any formatting.

I makes it how I likes it, guvnah. Like how you use superfluous U's so you can come off as British.

Tfw you find u's so unnecessary that you cut them out of words like "superfluous".

Americans should just say superfloss imo. Way easier.

DwnWthVwls is the most American mother****er I've ever seen on a linguistical level.

You got me LOL

Weird half-Anime half-live action flick from the '80s. Never even heard of it until I saw a VHS tape of it for a few bucks, and was like "lol, sure, why not?"

Basically, there's a guy who is too depressed and lazy to kill all of the cockroaches in his apartment, and they mistake his apathy for benevolence, thinking that he is some sort of divine entity. He used to hate them, but ever since his wife left him he no longer gives a ****, and now there's a golden age of peaceful cockroach civilization.

But then he hits it off with a girl who hates roaches, and together they pretty much massacre everybody.

Oh, and there's a scene with a talking turd.

Fun premise, unique art style, cool visuals, but the movie devotes way too much time to a boring and uninteresting love triangle. It's one of those flicks that easily could have shaved off at least a full hour from the runtime without really losing anything. As it is, it's almost two hours long, and it drags something fierce. But it's still sort of charming, and worth a watch the next time you're in the mood for something different.

Yeah, I know. Boo Zack Snyder. But I actually really like this movie, especially the opening credits. It bounces from fun to dark, cliche to creative, propaganda to disillusionment, and with more than a little heartfelt dorkiness; which in many ways makes it the perfect tribute to superhero culture.

It's got wonky structure given the source material but it's definitely a cool movie.

Is it bad that I've never actually read the source material, so the movie is my only frame of reference?

Yes yes it is bad. But what I meant is that the source material is a 12 issue comic series and the movie, with some exceptions, is a pretty faithful retelling so it has the pacing problems you might expect.

I think the movie is very good, but there are several things in the comic that I really miss. I also understand why you can't bring in everything. Of course a movie adaptation isn't gonna have a narrator read aloud all of those texts that the comic shoves in between chapters.

lol comic chapters

I know it was separate issues, but when you've got the book with everything in one, they're functionally chapters. I'll call them issues if someone tears my Watchmen book apart between the pages where the original issues split.

been on a yorgos lanthimos re-watch kick and realized i'd missed this one. i liked it, but Alps has a pronounced lack of Thimios Bakatakis's cinematographic touch.

it actually reminded me a lot of Holy Motors, but not as fully realized. same surrealist vibe to it, but no eva mendes cameos.

Into the Wild

This was an okay Hallmark film.

"Den blomstertid nu kommer"("The Unthinkable" which is the English title for the film. Although the Swedish title is much better in terms of the paradox between Midsummer and...well...the Unthinkable :D ). Anyways, it is a very good assymetrical warfare film funded partically by Kickstarter. Could it happen? Yes, I think it could.

Oh god this looks like a nightmare I had.

^ Question is, which one's the puppet?

I usually end my night with whatever is new on YIFY.

Obligatory "The book was better!"

But yeah, it was actually pretty good, better than I thought it would be. The changes to the story don't really matter since they still hit the essence of what the story was about.

I was interested to see how they would handle it, since the original story is told in one big stream of consciousness block by an old lady in a police station. You never get to read what anyone else in the room with her is saying, though she responds to/makes fun of them, or see the story from any other point of view. It's just one big, messy recollection of all the **** that has happened to her in her life. And yeah, the movie isn't like that, which is understandable. Instead of her spilling the beans all at once in the station, she reveals it slowly to her daughter as she tries to patch things up with her.

Kathy Bates was great. Really, everyone in the cast was fine.

The worst part was the music (made by Danny Elfman). So ****ing intrusive. Nothing kills the tension of a scene faster for me than a big orchestral "dun dun DUUUUN". Sometimes I wish I could just snip out all orchestral film scores, at least during any scene that isn't just "car driving from point a to point b" moodsetting. I know that's harsh, but god damn, 90% of them are just fancified laugh tracks, like the people in the audience are too stupid to know how to feel during a scene without glaring cues. Just stop. Leave it to the experts. The right music combined with the right visuals is orgasmically powerful, but the wrong combination does nothing but cheapen and drag movies down.

Ms. Piggy, duh.

If it's not on YIFY I'm half tempted to just give up.

I'm usually pretty good at finding torrents and magnet links [at least I was with all of my boomarks before my PC crashed]. If you ever need help finding something, hit me up.

I just buy DVDs like a tool from 1999.

Gettin' sh!t for free is where it's at. Frees up your money for other stuff. It really is a great system.

Havin more money this year than I'm used to, I've learned that apparently there's not much that I want. I just buy more music and movies and better food.

If I became a millionaire out of nowhere, I'd be one of those people who just buys a small house and a new jacket.
