jaedmc Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Couldn't go back to sleep this morning so I got a head start on the day and did some dishes while watching whatever was on Shudder TV. I make it a habbit to just flip it on and see what's what. Caught the end of Friday the 13th 3. If it were a wrestling match it would have two many holy shit near falls for 2.999999. That lead into Friday the 13th part 4, which is one of the worst. The concept of Tommy is fucking rad. But this has to be one the shittiest, least interesting group of teenagers in the whole series. The Friday series is one that I think I like the aura or nostalgia of than the actual movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read an analysis of their individual character arcs someone wrote somewhere that said the exact opposite. And hey, Crispin Glover? And HE GETS LAID?! C'mon.

jaedmc Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Crispin Glover dancing is the only redeemable element to the teens. On paper one could say it's an interesting "arc" but in execution it's not fun to watch happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Just finished watching the Director's Cut of Midsommar on Apple TV! I did not think the added footage would matter, but it definitely felt like a much more rounded story than the theatrical version. Even clocking in at nearly three hours, it didn't feel ponderous at all. Good stuff! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if I am the only poster here that can claim to have been kissed on the cheek by both lovely ladies. Sadly, I've never met Michelle Bauer so no completing the trifecta... ;-( Brinke Stevens is every bit as cool as you might imagine. Not only is she stunningly beautiful, but she is a total comic book nerd. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 TREMORS just got added to (Canadian) Netflix! Haven’t seen that since it was a new release (at which point I watched it a dozen times). Might try to make a double feature with THE COLOR OUT OF SPACE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Had a game Friday night, so I missed Joe Bob live, but we fit in MANIAC last night. Every time I watch it I like it more. Tom Savini showed up and talked about the head explosion. I didn't know about his experience in Vietnam and how what he saw there informs his work. They touched briefly on his Night of the Living Dead remake and it sounds like they're going to line that up on a future episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I really don't know how Savini was able to internalize his Vietnam experiences and still come out on the other side seemingly stable, even fantastic in comparison to what you might think. There's a story in his doc about his platoon almost setting off a slaughter that is absolutely terrifying. The man seems to have a guardian angel or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met Savini at Detroit Comic-Con about ten years ago. A really nice guy who is just as weird and lovable as you'd expect him to be. I am not so sure he internalized his experience so much as he uses the horror of war as inspiration for his work. It has certainly given him more appreciation for life. I think he said "I love you guys!" like every other sentence and it did not seem strained or fake. The world is a much better place with people like him in it.

Control Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Someone really needs to release the early horror films of Michele Soavi. I've only seen CEMETERY MAN (DELLAMORTE DELLAMORE), and that's because I torrented it at some point. It was great. Soavi is a protege of Dario Argento who has also done second unit director work for Terry Gilliam, and CEMETERY MAN, at least, definitely read as a combo of those two directors. Would love to see someone like Arrow or Scream Factory release DELERIA, THE CHURCH, and THE SECT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever get an opportunity to see him and his band do a live play-along to one of the movies that Goblin contributed a score to, definitely do so. I saw them on the 2018 tour they did for the original SUSPERIA and it was great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 How are The Sect and Deliria? Dellamorte is one of my personal faves and The Church is really great (and has the creepiest goat monster ever) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffSnackwell Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) Yeah, it actually pissed me off when that special edition of The Sect came out not too long after the regular edition. No way was I double dipping for The Sect after buying the regular edition that came out first. The Sect is good. It has a version of the devil that is as freaky in its own way as the goat monster. It opens up with a flashback to some 60's Manson cult type stuff with "A Horse With No Name" playing. Then it jumps forward to present day where this elaborate plot unfolds to have a teacher get pregnant with the antichrist.

Curt McGirt Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I loooooooove Brain Damage. It crushes Basket Case on all fronts. Speaking of Henenlotter, how were Bad Biology and his documentaries? The Mike Diana one looks particularly interesting. Frankenhooker I've seen part of and should finish sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
