@Beetlenaut Like the engineer says, there's a difference between "Zombies" and "Zombie Redneck Torture Family"...

Imagine a horror movie in which scientists have managed to control the paranormal activities typical for ghost stories and exploit them, eventually causing more suffering in the supernatural world than it did the normal world, raising the question of who the evil being really is?

[Janaka @Janaka_Lemon]

@Beetlenaut I get what you mean, but CitW plays the narrative like a subversion of the cabin in the woods genre, and I'm thinking of something presented more 'scientifically'. Also, in CitW it's an organisation sacrificing people to monsters to contain them, not actually having control.

@DrewMcWeeny I've been wanting to see such a movie since District 9. More 'casual science fiction', please (Science fiction with less 'story', and more 'world').

[Janaka @Janaka_Lemon]

@shirobon Haha... Dumb 'n' bass...

GTA2 is one of those games that hides in plain sight. The following entries in the series receive a lot of attention, but 2 is almost never mentioned. I feel, if there's any game that deserves a remaster (or a identical 3D remake) it's 2.

@davechensky It was so dumb I kept thinking that it had to be a parody of itself. It simply couldn't have been made with a straight face.

[Janaka @Janaka_Lemon]

Is the latest Halloween movie a parody of itself?

[Janaka @Janaka_Lemon]

I wonder if The Guilty is inspired by the M83 track Car Chase Terror.

@jetfury @adamczuk I mean, it kind of was. They even used a theme that belonged to an old movie, as a theme, so that’s one composer added to the list… Very pastiche of them.

@HuntingFluff ...then decide to make it into an epic moment by adding music and a grand statement about instant gratification... This is how poetry is born.

[Janaka @Janaka_Lemon]

@davechensky @patrickhwillems Seeing as Lana is a fan of Simulacra and Simulation, and the Matrix however isn’t really portraying a simulation in that sense (according to Baudrillard), it would be interesting if the ‘movie in a movie’ aspect of 4 attempted something more akin to that in the book.

Dream movie adaptation nr. 06: Goethe’s Faust directed by Will Wright. Faust is played by Robert Pattinson and Mephistopheles by Willem Dafoe.

[Janaka @Janaka_Lemon]

Dream movie adaptation nr. 05: Pale Fire directed by David Fincher. The poetic part is filmed in black and white by Emmanuel Lubezki (just let him go wild), and ingrained throughout the movie.

[Janaka @Janaka_Lemon]

Dream movie adaptation nr. 04: Voltaire’s Zadig directed by Wes Anderson, and written along with Roman Copola. Casting of Zadig is Danny Pudi after being coached by Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David.

[Janaka @Janaka_Lemon]

Dream movie adaptation nr. 03: MDK, directed by Dennis Villeneuve, as I’m convinced he would appreciate its striking imagery and playfulness, and not dismiss it as a goofy video game from the nineties. Andy Samberg as Kurt is silent, Garry Oldman as Doctor does all talking.

[Janaka @Janaka_Lemon]

Dream movie adaptation nr. 02: A Robert Eggers directed Diablo Lord of Destruction that’s filmed statically like a stage play, lit from above; lightness and darkness in constant battle. A group of heroes journey through strange land and eventually deep into hell itself.

[Janaka @Janaka_Lemon]

Dream movie adaptation nr. 01: A Werner Herzog directed Morrowind that delves deep into the culture of the island as if it were a travel diary following in the footsteps of the Nerevarine. Scored by Jeremy Soule.

[Janaka @Janaka_Lemon]

A Cthulhu-esque being held in check by the unbroken eye contact of a half human half machine who doesn’t crumble under the weight of cosmic awe.

A scientist’s revenge against a by paranormal activity murdered child. Something like that.

Imagery: haunted house torn out with basement and garden, placed in a glass box inside what looks like the reactor room in a nuclear power plant. Scientists on walkways observing a tortured ghost repeat its misery/death somehow being turned into energy for TVs and entertainment.
