It's a fair comment, there is an obvious Tyler Durden thing going on, but again it isn't really developed into anything.

Oh I don't doubt it, I just thought it was amusing the kind of politics Arnie's son was plugged into, considering his father is a massively famous Republican.

Ah true, good point.

I keep hearing good things about that from all the horrorhounds I know, but James Wan is my least favourite director maybe ever. Now that a weirdo like you has praised it though I feel like I definitely gotta see this shit.

lol i’ve only seen aquaman and yeah that probably is objectively one of the worst directed big budget movies i’ve ever seen.

malignant keeps being compared to basket case fwiw.

 

[CiG]

You haven't even seen the first Saw?

 

[no country for old wainds]

no but i’ve seen the 4th saw for some reason

Danzig directed another movie.

Watched this last night. Riffs on the themes that seem to be in every horror movie lately; family trauma and mental illness. Then morphs into something else entirely - nightmarish cosmic horror. Entertaining watch, although dare I say it, ultimately shallow as a lot of the family dysfunction material is cast aside. Stars Arnie's son, who I didn't even know was an actor.

Fucking excited to watch this now, cheers.

His mother is a Kennedy don't forget.

Are the Kennedys really all that "liberal" though? JFK may have marked the last significant overlap of the mainstream/moderate left and right. It just goes to show how many democrats are actually deeply conservative.

Oh for sure. But it's not a big leap for a young man from a partly Democrat family and working with progressive types in Hollywood to be 'woke'. Even though I hate that meaningless term.

This was completely batshit and I loved it.

Holy shit you weren't lying. Malignant was fucking amazeballs. It starts off as an almost artistic supernatural horror and quickly descends into some kind of action/horror Cronenberg meets Henenlotter nightmare.

I felt it was only really held back by some of the acting, but because of how well filmed it is, and the killer 80's synth meets modern techno soundtrack, it all mutates together into a really convincing package. Loved it too.

Now watching:

re: the villeneuve convo, chaw just dropped 4 stars on dune and jerked off over it for several paragraphs.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Seeing it tonight, pretty hyped. Heard overwhelmingly good things.

 

[challenge_everything]

Goddamn, we still have to wait until November here.

 

[CiG]

See Annette yet?

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Goddamn, we still have to wait until November here.

I feel good about this because we had to wait months for Parasite

 

[no country for old wainds]

isn’t out til the end of october here either.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Zack Snyders Justice League again. Yep, love this movie.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Dune was cool. It's nice to see such a reverent adaptation of such a dense book. I'm curious to see how general audiences will take to it when the whole thing is all worldbuilding and the big climax isn't even until part 2. I really thought they'd shoehorn some new action scenes in it somewhere but it's pretty much just what's in the book from what I recall.

 

[no country for old wainds]

it’s in the imdb top 100 atm so i guess it’s going down pretty well.
