yeah I enjoyed They Live so much more this time around, easily one of Carpenter's best. the last line is absolutely insane lmao also watched The Fog today and man that movie. there's literally 2 minutes of plot and the rest is just vibes but goddamn the vibes are good. makes me want to buy a lighthouse in a coastal town
Someone posted about it on Reddit, added to my list based on good word of mouth but haven’t seen it yet
I did!! Very cool, weirdly cozy and also gross lol. I should check out some of that guy's other work.
Black Phone 2 was mostly good. I loved the lore and the acting, but there were so many moments that took me out of the movie
Saw Bugonia last night and hot damn I loved it. absolutely speaking out of recency bias right now but that may be one of my favorites this year
Halfway through Black Phone 2. Just sharing some thoughts as I go.. Like.. what movie am I watching right now? Absolutely digging the talent and the winter vibes, but it feels like I’m watching way too many ideas play out at one time. I’m hoping it ties together.. but ultimately, what do I know?
Beautiful flick, man. Loved this so much. SOV Slacker + Slasher + Araki. This is one of those “that’s why I love movies” movies. I wish I could justify teaching this. I think I’d never stop talking about it if I saw it as a teenager
The Bird With the Crystal Plumage has an excellent first half-hour and last 15 minutes, but I feel like the midsection really drags, which is honestly how I've felt about a lot of Giallo despite generally enjoying the vibe. Enjoying Blood and Black Lace so far.
Yep. Feels like A Scanner Darkly by way of Adult Swim. Definitely a little faux-deep, but also really unique and unsettling use of the medium.
Yeah, I nearly turned it off halfway through...which is not something I normally do. I stuck it out, but did not like it.
on a big Carpenter kick, I'm watching Escape from New York for the first time right now. I love that the American president is inexplicably a British guy
Today I went to Cinemark to see the new Predator and they had a Jason Vorhees popcorn tub so I bought it for my dad for Xmas. I'll put in some popcorn and candy and a gift card or something. So hyped cause he's hard to shop for. Anyway, the tub was in a bag and it was fun walking around with it like I was in Predator and it was my trophy
