The Official Movie Thread

one of my favorite trends in film/tv:

when it lacks story, characters, anything remotely interesting: instead talk about how "cool" the influences are.

I watched Lisa and the Devil last night.

Not sure whether I wasn't in the right mood or something but it just felt like it went over my head, I couldn't get into it and I'm not even sure I really understood what was happening. I might have to make sure I re-watch this one soon.

It was weird, I just felt really detached from it.

Twist: Twin Peaks 2017 is actually just one long love letter to Lynch's favourite artists and the plot won't be concluded by the end of the run.

You still watching it?

 

[CiG]

Yeah, might as well since I'm not paying for whatever fucking program my brother uses to watch it. I'll see it through to the end.

George A. Romero, 'Night of the Living Dead' creator, dies at 77

RIP to an American master. Night of the Living Dead, Season of the Witch, The Crazies, Martin, Dawn of the Dead, Creepshow, Day of the Dead, Monkey Shines, The Dark Half. Yeah, I'd say we owe him a lot.

I saw Romero at Monsterpalooza a few years ago. He was sitting in a room with his two cronies, waiting for people to come get their stuff signed by him. Fucking guy charged $15 bucks for an autograph, and even more for a photograph. That room was completely empty.

That's pretty cheap.

he did get fucked on copyrighting night of the living dead, so don't mind him trying to make some $$

That's pretty cheap.

Anything above $0 is expensive.

So don't fucking go to movie conventions if you can't afford to pay $15 for a legend's signature. If that price fucks you over so badly you probably can't afford such luxuries.

I didn't go to Monsterpalooza to get anybody's signature. I fail to see the appeal in autographs in the first place, so I think it's funny that someone is sitting down in a room and charging people top dollar so he can write his own name on a piece of paper. The fact that everyone left when they saw the price makes it even funnier.

But yeah, go straight to butthurt mode I guess?

 

[CiG]

I'm not butthurt, seems more like you're butthurt bringing up a $15 fee to get his signature as a response to a post about him just passing away.

 

[Krow]

Rest easy George. Hopefully The Walking Dead will die soon so that the dead may rise again some day.

 

[CiG]

First Tweet I saw about George Romero's passing:

George A. Romero just passed away. He may be back though.

 

[Carpe Mortem]

I gladly paid $20 for an autographed glossy and picture op. Legend in horror.

 

[CF87]

Baby Driver is good, if you want a decent theater movie.

90's night of the living dead has always been one of my favorites.

Anyone else seen Dunkirk? Not sure there's a better way to portray the incompetence and patheticness of Western Europe in 1940-41 not sure if this was Nolan's intent or not either
