Villains, Housebound, True Romance, and Seven Psychopaths

Chronicle did a good job, but I still hate this style.

I can see why you'd say that, but idk if its considered a win if I don't remember the plot or events cohesively, don't want to see the movie ever again and don't recommend it to anyone or give it a good rating. Whereas I saw Barbarian 3 times.

Really good movie. It features a young Jake Gyllenhaal.

Yes and I noted that in post. This rant was triggered by a super hyped up recommendation that turned out to be found footage.

So don't watch it. Not every movie is going to make everyone happy.

Far from trying "to give meaning to every possible little thing" I think his main complaint is that the film ultimately means very little. I found it completely tedious. I'm Irish so I should be thrilled that it's nominated for so many awards, but I'm not excited at all because I don't think it deserves the acclaim it's received.

No one cares

We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when...

1.film was shit wont ever watch that again

2.was ok might give it another go around

3.love some of it but on the fence but will def watch it again

4.fucking loved it and no doubt will rewatch it forever

Sweet blog update.

One cut of the dead

List of found footage horror films of 2022 https://www.allhorror.com/genre/found-footage

"Found footage" films were more of an early 2000's thing. And there was some really good "Found footage" films.

Makes me nauseous

But in what sense is the film a "period piece"? Making occasional off hand references to the Civil War doesn't make it a period piece. The film didn't set out to depict the period of the early 1920s and it certainly didn't reflect anything of the reality of life at that time. It is instead a collection of clichés. I've read the whole article and think the author is spot on.

You watched 30 films that came out last year? Which ones?

So?

It was okay. Also Blair witch project. But that was when it wasn't done to death.

For me, found footage movies were something almost revolutionary at the beginning when Cannibal Holocaust came out. The subgenre was further revolutionized with the release of Blair Witch Project. But I think that after Cloverfiled, the subgenre has become generic and full of predictable clichés.

Which is what exactly? I’ve seen pulp fiction over 20 times…can you state one specific change

I just think you haven't seen any good ones. You say that they do it to save money and this tells me that you are watching low budget, crappy movies. There have been a lot of them that do suck but that can be said for all movies. If you choose to not watch a specific type of movie based upon your past experience with this type of movie you could miss out on good movies. There are several FF movies that are way better than most horror movies I have ever seen and better than most of what is coming out currently.

I love a good ‘found footage’ movie! I also love a bad one! 😆

>"...it is an awful experience for the viewer"

For you maybe. Personally, I love them. I've seen some gems, and I've seen some lousy examples. Like with any film genre or style, it has its strengths and weaknesses. Rather than being bad, maybe they're just not for you?

I agree. I hate first person shooter style movies. Can’t watch them.
