Bill Hader just LOOKS like someone that has been haunted his whole life. It's the perfect role.

Hellraiser could really find its lane as the only series where every entry is a reboot, imo
(coughs conspicuously) Highlander

finally got around to Jordan Peele's Us. I liked it a lot. As I suppose many have already said, his technical chops have improved significantly over his last film (bigger budget probably helped a lot) and its very often clever in its staging. Good dang performances too.

What I also hurried up to see before it vanishes from theaters was El Chicano, which is a very pulpy, somewhat silly but overall decent action drama targeted straight towards America's latinx population. Its not about anything that hasn't been well covered in countless other crime potboilers, but the entirely non-white cast and disarming and affectionate take of the Los Angelino subculture of its backdrop is quite new. Its loaded to the gills with familiar faces that get bigger roles in this thing whereas you'd normally see (this movie works as an excellent game of 'Spot the Character Actor')them, and all the macho posturing can be kinda fun or at least diverting enough until the action loaded last act. Good, sincere B-movies are hard to find anymore, so I'm predisposed to perhaps overrate this scruffy, clearly underbudgeted effort that somehow escaped its direct to streaming fate to play at the crappiest theater in my locality, but I'm glad it did.

Watched The Hills Have Eyes this morning. It's not as good as Nightmare on Elm Street and certainly not as polished, but there's a gritty charm to this movie that I like. For some reason, my young and impressionable mind remembered this as some grim and bloody murderfest, but watching it now, there's actually a lot of humor to it. It's not nearly as violent as it could have been. It pulls a lot of punches, like not killing the baby or the second dog or cannibal sister that wanted out. I was expecting it to be a hard watch, but it was actually pretty breezy.

Watched the Сталкер Criterion Collection Blu-Ray this evening. Gawdam. That's the most hauntingly beautiful movie I've ever seen. I had to take a Taco Bell break half-way through because I was starting to feel a bit overwhelmed. :ussrcry The Blu-Ray looks and sounds absolutely gorgeous too. I'm going to have to watch this a few more times.

Who is the audience for the Tolkien biopic? Do LOTR nerds really care about his personal life and how WWII and racism inspired him to write stories about hairy midgets, wizards, and dragons?

Christians into fantasy who feel left behind by Game of Thrones and its extremely adult content.

I recall very clearly Tolkien and cs lewis (the latter being more obvious) as getting the Christian pastor/parent “stamp of approval” for fantasy secular work carrying appropriate messages. Anything else tho was absolutely haram. D&D especially so.

Watched Bird Box after I found out Trent Reznor / Atticus Ross did the soundtrack. Was ok, soundtrack wasn't really notable outside a few parts, but the ending was pretty unsatisfying? Also

"Don't get close to the glass or touch the glass" -> I'm going to get closer to the glass -> I'm going to get extremely close to Lector after a man throws semen in my face

It feels so sluggish and small-scale, like it was filmed in a back alley courtyard at three-fourths speed.

The reason it feels so small is cinematography. A lot of shots are medium and use a neutral camera angle. There's almost nothing to demonstrate the size or the sheer power.

Contrast with the original.

Here, you barely see the golden camels. In the original you see rows and rows and rows. When they bring out the peacocks you see so many damn peacocks.



The original also uses the crowd to create depth which adds to his "power". Here it's just flat.

Look at the angle of Abu. Look at how powerful that angle makes him look. He looks huge compared to the crowd.



Look how wide the streets are compared to the live action one and the distance between the parade and "lesser" people.



The end result is a larger looking parade.
 
wait Disney could be reading.

Disney could own all the movie studios soon.

You know what?

I think it's just...okilly dokily!

I mean, did you SEE that transition from the green stuff to a slightly high angle of the same shot. Real riveting stuff.

Agreed, but I can't see them *not* getting remade. As long as they turn a profit they'll still get made. Hard to fault Disney for picking up free money

To be fair, it's partly the originator or modern designer of a lot of those tropes. Every bad guy monologing from inside a prison cell (like say, Benedict Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness) is because of Hopkins' Lecter. Every get the worse guy, and briefly trust him (and him live up to the deal at the last second out of some weird honor code), to catch the bad guy of the moment comes from the same place.  The whole straight jacket and face mask thing has forever been a call back to what's just a brief scene but was visually iconic. It did a lot to help establish the unshakable female lead in the face of horror that stuff like Alien and etc. had already started.

Films and everything else did these before (the prison monologue is actually a super old trope), but Silence of the Lambs was a huge hit in every way and injected all of this stuff into pop culture writ large.

That first one is actually funny though, it's in every single Hannibal Lecter version. They're all "don't tell him anything, he'll use it against you!" And so almost everyone tells him everything usually unprompted. And he uses it against them.

Watched the Detective Pikachu movie. Even having only played 1 Pokemon game (X/Y) and not being a big fan of the series (don't hate it either), I liked this. Was cute and I recognized most of the pokemon. I guess it's up there with Mortal Kombat 1 and Silent Hill 1 as the only good videogame movies.

I think the Hannibal movie is acceptable. It has a lot of cool bits, but it's a mess overall. It's never boring.

Then watch the Hannibal TV series. The first two seasons are awesome and the third is, uh, the first half sucks in an amusingly indulgent way and the second half is mostly awesome.

Oh, and Red Dragon is a serviceable re-adaptation of the same book Manhunter is based on. It's kinda dry and Hopkins is really dialing it in by this point. If you watch Manhunter first, you'll notice that they expanded Hannibal's presence in Red Dragon due to the success of Silence and Hannibal. Michael Mann did Manhunter and it's hella stylish.

The book Red Dragon is also adapted in the latter half of season 3 of the TV show, so it's fun to watch all three adaptations to see some of the same scenes done with different actors in different styles.

Mann has said he wanted to expand on Lecter's presence in Manhunter but he felt it served the story better and the performance if it felt like you couldn't get enough of him.

But yes Cindi Manhunter is great, and Bryan Fuller was smart to pretty much ape it's aesthetics and bring it forward for the tv show. I love everything about the show but TVC is right that the first half of season 3 isn't for everybody, gorgeous and gross like always though but glacial.

Hannibal the movie is hilarious in how shitty it is and how Ridley Scott completely misunderstood the Hannibal character and why it worked so well in Silence. It's one of the biggest drop offs in sequel history, on par with Aliens to Alien 3, China Town to The Two Jakes, and Mortal Kombat to Mortal Kombat Annihilation.

I disagree. I want to rub my clit on Mason Verger’s face.

Also, the book isn’t held in very high regard either, though I like it.

buckle up, I got lots to say here.

so The Man Who Killed Don Quixote is a hell of a mess, but its a mess that only Terry Gilliam could ever make. It doesn't work all the time, and some parts of it are bad to off putting, but when its in its grove it really sings. It does feels almost churlish to complain too much about this film. It opens with the note "After 25 Years of Production...", I mean, not every film has got that. The first two credits at the end are for now-dead potential leads for iterations of the film that were scuttled, not every film has got that either. But being overstuffed, overlong, self-indulgent, and being rough around the edges? Lots of films have got that.

A callow Adam Driver goes on a picaresque journey through Spain with an old man who believes himself to be Don Quixote and him to be Sancho Panza, hilarity ensues. And for a movie with a multi-decade prep time, its surprisingly loose, sometimes feeling even improvisational (unlikely that it may be). Jonathan Pryce is way friggin great, its very often funny, and it even pulls off the tricky tonal balance of making its main character a figure of ridicule and an exemplar of some sort of bruised nobility. So its a bit unfortunate that its Don Quixote is the most successful element of the film by far, with the rest comprising a mish mash of questionable casting choices or some rough execution of whatever Gilliam had in mind.

For example, here's one weird thing, in part a Spanish produced film set in Spain, filmed in Spain, about the most famous work of literature that Spain ever produced, and the two biggest Spanish movie stars in the movie don't play Spaniards (Sergi Lopez fucking kills his part tho). I'm being a bit rough on this film, but I still liked it overall, and there's way more to digest here than in most other films I have mixed feelings about.

Its a film very much apiece with the rest of Gilliam's career. In fact its a bit like any of the other not-quite there works of his that were constrained by some of his famously bad luck (The Brothers Grimm first came to mind). So its as many parts frustrating and sloppy as it is splendid with the edge going towards 'good' than 'bad' sides of the meter but its reading looks like a friggin polygraph when its done.
