Saw it last year, pretty enjoyable stuff, the monsters look cool as well.

i think i'm too scared to watch The Following. the previews were scary. i can't watch stuff like that anymore. wimpy in my old age. me, old horror-lovin' scott! who would have guessed?

scott seward, Saturday, 26 October 2013 21:19 (ten years ago) link

okay, maybe i'll watch Monsters tonight.

scott seward, Saturday, 26 October 2013 21:20 (ten years ago) link

I like Scoot McNairy and he's great in it too.

The Following has moments but it's pretty limp, plot-wise

mh, Saturday, 26 October 2013 21:25 (ten years ago) link

Monsters is worth watching. Mostly for the monsters themselves.

the following is only worth watching for sociological reasons

despite its terrible acronym, I highly recommend John Dies At The End for extradimensional hijinks

something about small children with english accents makes me always lol

hand em over to Willy Wonka i say.

despite the epic roo hunt, Wake in Fright is really all about excessive drunkenness and repressed homosexualitry (like high school drama club parties).

okay i am definitely watching john dies at the end. see, that's why this thread is good. i had no idea it was by the phantasm guy. i love him. i even loved bubba ho-tep.

scott seward, Tuesday, 29 October 2013 15:11 (ten years ago) link

you are in for a treat :D

i watched "First Winter" over the weekend

it was pretty slow and unlikable for the first two acts but i'm glad i didn't give up on it because imo it redeemed itself in the end. very beautiful and haunting film altogether.

sort of a Martha Marcy May Marlene meets The Road kind of vibe if that sounds like its up your alley

however, there's a pretty inexcusable blooper where an actor's microphone is caught on screen for an extended shot during an otherwise intense scene...

I loved Monsters. I found it very affecting.

"At first it's a party of sex; drugs; and yoga. But as supplies dwindle; they turn against one another."

A story told many times

a party of sex

socki (s1ocki), Tuesday, 29 October 2013 17:10 (ten years ago) link

I just inhaled Scandal in massive doses and nothing else has even come close in ages. I'm a believer.

Tottenham Heelspur (in orbit), Tuesday, 29 October 2013 17:14 (ten years ago) link

don't know what to do when my yoga supply runs low

That's not how you use semicolons!!

polyphonic, Tuesday, 29 October 2013 18:05 (ten years ago) link

is that the sequel to helvetica or w/e

TABU really knocked me out at the theater, not sure how it may translate to a Netflix stream.
It's the latest from Miguel Gomes, director of "Our Beloved Month of August."

Trip Maker, Wednesday, 30 October 2013 01:52 (ten years ago) link

Watching Troll 2 right now. It's quite something.

Moodles, Wednesday, 30 October 2013 02:15 (ten years ago) link

Thanks for the heads up on Tabu; been wanting to see that

there's no camera to capture that yelping moment! (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 30 October 2013 15:13 (ten years ago) link

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H822c9P57mo

it was as exhausting as expected but i'm glad i watched it because i didnt know anything about the dude

ᶓ͠סּᴥ͠סּᶔ ᶓͼ᷆ₓͼ᷇ᶔ (gr8080), Friday, 1 November 2013 20:50 (ten years ago) link

Lots of classics added:

Best Defense
Blacula
Caligula
Big Top Pee Wee
Cheech & Chong's Next Movie
The Doom Generation
Escape to Witch Mountain
Jack Frost
Christmas Vacation
Teen Wolf

Moodles, Friday, 1 November 2013 20:56 (ten years ago) link

LOL, classics. Actually, addition of Big Top Pee Wee is intriguing. That movie was lost to the ages.

Is it the uncut/expanded/totally OTT Caligula?

Jack Frost

finally watched house o fthe devil; like the dude's style but his movies really tend to sputter out

socki (s1ocki), Friday, 1 November 2013 22:22 (ten years ago) link

Did anyone other than scott watch Redemption? Need some Statham

mh, Friday, 1 November 2013 23:46 (ten years ago) link

i like safe, blitz, parker, killer elite, in the name of the king, the italian job, and the expendables 2 more than redemption. as far as streaming netflix statham goes. but i am scott.

scott seward, Saturday, 2 November 2013 01:38 (ten years ago) link

I watched about 15 minutes. Maybe some other time. I have seen all of those other than in the name of the king. Also, Parker is ok

mh, Saturday, 2 November 2013 01:42 (ten years ago) link

Canada just got Doctor Who (2005-). I am tempted. Do I need to know anything about the old series?

zanana rebozo (abanana), Saturday, 2 November 2013 06:35 (ten years ago) link

No

Insane Prince of False Binaries (Gukbe), Saturday, 2 November 2013 06:54 (ten years ago) link

Huh... I think this is the film that played at the Tribeca FF that my coworker described as "American Apparel: The Movie".

your co-worker sounds delightful

ᶓ͠סּᴥ͠סּᶔ ᶓͼ᷆ₓͼ᷇ᶔ (gr8080), Sunday, 3 November 2013 01:51 (ten years ago) link

Yes she is and she said the guy in the lead role was essentially a Dov Charney-esque sleazebag.

Maybe I'll add it to the queue and see what all the fuss is about.

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Sunday, 3 November 2013 02:17 (ten years ago) link

Just started Brooklyn Castle and I'm already squeeing through my tears.

Tottenham Heelspur (in orbit), Sunday, 3 November 2013 16:22 (ten years ago) link

you know, Empire State is pretty good despite the incongruous presence of The Rock. 80's period piece about Greek-American dudes in NYC and crime gone awry. director was an 80's hardcore punk dude and the 80's vibe is nice. cuz if you look at the poster you'd just think it was a standard Rock vehicle.

scott seward, Sunday, 3 November 2013 17:34 (ten years ago) link

although right now i'm watching Olympus Has Fallen cuz that's how i roll. best white house destruction porn ever.

scott seward, Sunday, 3 November 2013 17:37 (ten years ago) link

Agreed. Best B+ movie of the summer.
