[BlueTsunami]

I love how this film buikds up. Scene with epic 80s prelude music

Its so fucking 80s.in the best ways

The fucking motar sound when lil dude gets mixed up in it

[BlueTsunami]

You gonna do a stupid little piece on me?
Why would i want to look stupid?

*crawls.up own ass*

[BlueTsunami]

You know what? I would actually vote for Trump 2020 if he quoted this film and said to Jim Acosta, I hope you take that rag you write for and wipe your dick with it

[BlueTsunami]

Does a film deal with futility and fatalism this way? This humorously, this sexily? Hmmmm

HMMMMMMM

[TVC15]

So many great lines. This movie deserves to be so much more well known. I know the 80s were a shit decade for art, but this really stands out as a high school comedy. Far better than any of the Hughes stuff.

Hey mama

It's over I wish I had something else to watch.

[BlueTsunami]

I wanna put the book report on repeat the rest of my waking hours

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

So I was absent for like 8 months, so I probably missed all the regular film crew raving about Mandy a few months back, right? I mean, how can you not. This high fantasy film in contemporary drag was one of my favorite theater experiances of the year. As a drugged out, sensory trip its top-rate, as a very weirded out twist on way old revenge film tropes it still delivers the goods. But its not just a midnight movie exercise in deliberate strangeness (altbough its an excellent example of that), it also goes about its goals of establishing its characters and their relationships with complete and disarming sincerity. This makes it without a doubt the saddest film I've ever seen that also features a chainsaw duel. With a thundering score by the late Johan Johansson (really gonna miss that guy) and a fiercely committed Nicolas Cage performance (from anybody else this would have been better lauded, from him this sort of frothing yet measured excessiveness is expected), and probably every fog machine available to rent in all of Northern Europe, its a film that feels very fresh while retaining so many familiar elements.

Anyways, I liked it very much. But I'm real sure that similar sentiments have already been expressed here just previously.

Bad times at the el royale was pretty sweet

[chronovore]

I'm on a tour of bad 80's/90's movies.

Finished Highlander II: The Quickening, now I am watching Krull, and next on the list is Robot Jox.

I am taking suggestions.

The "Renegade Cut" of Highlander II is the only version anyone should ever watch. It starts by excising any mention of Planet Zeist.

I think I saw the blu ray cut, which has some references to Zeist, but not a whole lot. And he doesn't fly back to his home planet at the end with the girl. I do kind of want to see the theatrical cut just to see how much more of a clusterfuck it is.

My favorite part is when Sean Connery's character just learns about the Shield and is very perplexed by the entire thing, and in the next scene he is like "Connor, the only way you can destroy the Shield is.."

[chronovore]

Huh, Total Recall is playing across the street from me at 10:30pm. Might see it. (…)

I just re-watched this with my BIL, another true-blue Verhoeven fan. It's pretty fantastic. Holds up very well. Considering all the fuckery about "what is authentic?" it's possibly the 2nd best PKD film out there.

(…) It's a far better movie than Blade Runner.

Felon (2008)


(Image removed from quote.)

I guess this is really a rumination on the prison system in general and what it does to everyone involved from all sides, innocent and guilty, inside and outside, staff and inmates. The guy behind this went on to make Snitch, low key The Rock's best movie, so this is actually pretty solid.  It's almost entirely shot in handheld to give it that early X-Files/NYPD Blue/1993 gritty feel. There's only one issue and that's that Stephen Dorff is inherently quite unlikable, so even as a man who ends up in prison for bullshit reasons (he chased a guy who had broken into his house outside and during the chase hit him with a bat, which killed the guy, so he was charged as it was no longer self defense) and gets caught up and broken by the system, it's hard to not see him as a shit head from the start.

TVC might be happy to know there's a scene where fat Val Kilmer with facial hair that makes him look like Jeff Bridges has a conversation while taking a shit and casually wiping his ass while looking someone in the eye.

I thought you were going to describe another prison scenario with fat Val Kilmer

[TVC15]

today is lawrence of arabia day. and after that, I guess I'll watch hellraiser judgment.

Are you watching LoA in a theater?

[TVC15]

Me, I'm going boot shopping for some Solovairs and then going to see 2001 in 70mm in the Castro, where I'll also troll my favorite gay bar for a drank or two.

[TVC15]

Are you watching LoA in a theater?

No, a 240p bootleg.

I was cleaning out my pics from 2018 folder the other day and I came across your photo. It made me wonder: other than on the Bore, has a pedophile ever hit on you and been disappointed that you were of age? Have you ever played along and given them a handy or a blow-j to make them think they really did land a hot 12-yo?

[TVC15]

Besides you?

Ahem, I already made that joke. Are you hungover?

[Joe Molotov]

Watching Troll 2 on A-Prime. Squirm is on here too, good shit.

[TVC15]

Hmmm, what's Squirm?

[Joe Molotov]

70’s killer worm movie

[TVC15]

Any bushy vaginas filled with worms?

[Joe Molotov]

Nah, it's PG so it's pretty tame. It's got a lot of inbred hillbillies and Rick Baker makeup though.

[TVC15]

I just watched Three O'Clock High for the third time since last night.

[TEEEPO]

i didn't realize bird box is a susanne bier film

now i'm interested

[Mupepe]

I only liked Brothers out of her filmography. Serena is in the running for all time piles of trash.

[TVC15]

Watching Squirm while tongue-bathing my new boots. Can’t wait to crush BlueTsunami’s balls with these puppies.

[TVC15]

8 minutes in and I'm pretty sure this is amazing. The hillbilly is STRONG. And the poor filmmaking. 5 stars.

[Great Rumbler]

"You're gonna be the worm face!"

[Joe Molotov]

8 minutes in and I'm pretty sure this is amazing. The hillbilly is STRONG. And the poor filmmaking. 5 stars.

If you still have access to Shudder, you can watch another one of the director's filmmaking master classes, Blue Sunshine. It's basically Squirm, but replace earthworms with LCD.

I'll always have access to Shudder now that Joe Bob is getting a regular show.

Oh shit, this is on one of my watchlists somewhere. I'm going to have to check it out next.

[Great Rumbler]

TVC, watch this next:

[TVC15]

Once I saw a guy chewing paper for the second time, I shut Hellraiser Judgment off.

Loser confirmed.

Anyway, Squirm, aka Mick Ginger Takes His Shirt Off, is a must see.

Not sure if I'm going to do Blue Lightning or that spider one next. I need booze.

[Bebpo]

Well that Black Mirror movie was a thing. I think if someone else had done this without all the meta it'd be pretty neat. Here it's neat, but in a lol I guess that was ok way.

[TVC15]

Blue Sunshine is a tad disappointing, especially following the out-of-nowhere (for me) Squirm. No acid freakout sequences in an acid movie? Huge fail. In all honesty, this feels more like an underwritten, bad 70s Crichton thriller than it does a crazy 70s drug movie. Not quite sure why it built up a culty rep, aside from the weird baldie visual.

[TVC15]

TVC, watch this next:

HOLY SHIT THIS STARS THE SKIPPER.

five stars.

[EightBitNate]

My RT guesses:

Alita - 49%
Aquaman - 68%

Also kinda surprised to see Fantastic Beasts reviews were middling. Feel like the first film would have been harder to pull off. Oh well. It’ll probably still make bank.

Hey I was only 4% off with Aquaman. Not bad.

[Great Rumbler]

TVC, watch this next:

five stars.

It's also got lots of thinly-veiled hillbilly incest.

Recently watched In the Mood for Love, twice. Wish Kar Wai would make something just as sadly insightful.  But thats like asking for another Sistine Chapel.

[BlueTsunami]

Man, the first time I watched You Were Never Really Here, it left me cold and puzzled but this time around the portrait of this haunted dude is really hitting me.

Its filled to the gills with detail that can be missed when not always intently watching. Its only an hour anf thirty or so minutes so its all about show dont tell.

[TVC15]

Back to good movies...

[TVC15]

Someone give me a good movie or two to watch when I get home.

[TVC15]

The Bore FAILING ME YET AGAIN.

[team filler]

watch Lexx

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

Re-watched (what am I doing with my life) that one not too long ago. Yeah, its pretty damn miserably bad. Millenium Films goes after big names on their slide down in their careers because they can sell their shit films internationally with a name attached despite the shittiness of the product.

Same company contracted Pacino for 88 Minutes (abysmal, but at least somewhat energetic) and De Niro for Killing Season (the film in which John Travolta gives a significantly more comitted performance than Robert De Niro).

Millenium films also made the recent, pointedly square and aggresively mediocore Hunter Killer, a submarine thriller that's exactly as generic as its title. Gerald Butler is a sub captain who never has to punch anyone, Gary Oldman shouts at people in conference rooms, and the films command of current geopolitics is adorably antiquated (at least they got to sell distribution rights to Russia). Its the filmic equivalent of a weaker Call of Duty storyline, but without enough explosions to maintain interest throughout. Of course its far from the worst Gerald Butler film, but aint that damning with faint praise.

[I'm a Puppy!]

 Watched Into the spider-verse that was an awesome fun time. Don't know if it would be worth a non-matinee price to see in the theater but it was a lot of fun. Could use more movies in that visual style

Introduced the kids to The God Father: Part 1 Still a GOAT tier movie

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

how much time ya got...

so back in the pre-streaming days, Netflix actually had an embarrassment of riches when it came to Region Free Hong Kong DVD imports. I was able to see so many wonderful films thusley. Sometimes they had crappy transfers or hilariously bad subtitles, but gol-dern it, when you're watching supernaturally handsome Takeshi Kaneshiro attempt to look downtrodden, it was easily worth it.

Hows about I recommend a really awesome obscurity instead. Bury Me High stars nobody who ever got internationally famous (Yuen Wah, the landlord from Kung Fu Hustle comes closest) and has a plot based on validating superstition. But being barking mad has never held back many a great action film from awesomeness. When its not being a lower rent Indiana Jones or Rambo 2 knock off, its supplying lots of great fight scenes and stuntwork that's crazy even by the standards of its era. Very few minutes of this film pass by wherein something strange or kickass is not happening, works for me.

[Madrun Badrun]

Spiderverse was amazing, really glad I saw it in 3d. 

[EightBitNate]

The Favorite is as good as everyone says it is. I’m usually not into historical movies when they’re played straight, so the comedic aspect of it was great. Very good chance it wins a couple acting Oscars. Roma is still my personal favorite of 2018 though.
