TrollMaster H8Eez is the CryptKeeper for the 21st century in this anthology of three terrifying tales hosted by Zac Amico! Geopolitics, Workplace Creeps, and getting cancled on social media... nothing is off limits in this CreepyPasta Collection #XFilm#CreepyPasta#Horror
Oh yeah… I’m not sure if the effeminate protagonist is acceptable to the intended zoomer audience or not but I found the juxtaposition between his feminine sensitivity and masculine rationality to be quietly enraging… however, in lieu of tension, that which normally comes with caring about a character, there was sufficient cringe to set-up some really good jump scares. I thought the actress knocked it out of the park and I thought the male lead was committed enough to the role just improperly directed, I would say. My biggest gripe and maybe that’s because I’m just coming off a Backrooms screening this week as well… is I want to know who’s giving permission to just not even bother getting into the ‘who, what, where, why & how’ of the story… if it’s every once in a while you can get away with a little artistic intention but I can’t remember the last time a horror movie explained itself… everything seems incomplete these days… all in all, I give this flick a solid 7.5
The justification at the time was they wanted the film to be more ‘grounded’. Again, because they did not understand the material. Cannon was likely cutting corners as well and I know they were sharing/recycling set pieces with Albert Pyun’s Cyborg so there may have been some scheduling conflicts there, if you factor in pre-production/planning and construction
I’ve decided to just dig a trench and hold the line until all this theatrical hoopla passes over. Unfortunately, as it looks now, the movie is likely to be another missed opportunity, making the exact same mistake that the original ‘87 did, which is just not faithfully adapting the material and putting too much emphasis on an Earth connection to make the characters more ‘relatable’, completely unnecessary… but anyways…
@ATRightMovies Not for nothing but the latest season of @tcm ‘s amazing podcast, the Plot Thickens, with @BenMank77 is all about the making of Cleopatra https://t.co/5HLTdz5iZP also, my answer is Natalie Portman
@paradeofdreams Eh, she was probably still a young here, pro figure skaters start young and sometimes can be afflicted with arrested development, it’s likely she was just a little angsty here and now remembers the day fondly
The appeal of the show has never been the aesthetics, to me. It had interesting writers and there’s a kind of genre purity to it that you just don’t find nowadays. I don’t even consider myself the biggest fan, it’s just the fact that nobody seems to recognize it’s qualities as fascinating lore, it makes me want to defend it and see it preserved as what it actually was and not what it was MEME’d to be…
INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE (1989) is one of the few trilogy closers that has a real case for being the best. The pairing Indy with his father turns the adventure into something more personal and gives the film its heart.
