I'm pretty much dying over Black cinema right now. Jordan Peele is a god in my eyes. He takes a genre that is so niche and creating these amazing, nuanced thought-pieces - without sacrificing script or content in any way. He's absolutely brilliant and I can't help but geek out over his work as a Horror fan but as a cinephile in general.

For reference, his works include Get Out, Us, Nope, Candyman, and Lovecraft Country.

I mean, it was pretty transparently obvious that Cameron is doing something different with the villain this time round and has plans for where his story is headed

Speaking of which, I saw infinity pool last weekend. One of the weirder films I’ve seen.

That's right, Jay.

Princess Mononoke. Kind of.

You make a good point, but I still think the horror genre gets overlooked when great movies overall are being discussed. How often are horror movies included on lists of “greatest films of all time” compiled by critics or film institutes? How often do they receive awards given out by critics in main categories, not just in their respective genres? Those are few and far between.

Teen Wolf?

the tv series Once Upon a Time featured the Big Bad Wolf with a new twist

Silence of the Lambs?

Also The End in 1978 with Sally Field.

I watched that one when I was way too young.

There’s copies on eBay right now. Those hack frauds failed!

Except for one, which was then graded and sold on eBay for over $80k which was supposedly donated to charity

That is like asking, "What is the overall story of Star Trek?"

The answer is the same: it's an ongoing series that follows the adventures of a cast of characters that evolve and change over time.

Hence what I said before: "Which is to say, they may not have a fixed 'grand narrative,' but they do pay attention to continuity, and the characters and storylines develop within that continuity."

You are acting as if the only stories worth telling are the ones that need to revolve around a central plot, as if it's the plot that matters and not the characters that drive it.

im surpraised tht anyone with a love of great horror films would actually like this below average meme of a movie.

I loved the scene in Tokyo Drift when Eminem absolutely obliterates Han Lue.

Sweet Girl. Netflix original starring Jason Mamoa.

Chef is my favorite comfort movie. Always makes me feel better and inspires me.

The product is fine, the Reddit fanbase is seething with rage that avatar outgrossed most of the franchise.

I haven't read your post yet I'm going to assume you found it to be the 'Feelgood hit of the summer'.

There are a decent number of them that I’ve seen over the years, the problem is most of them just just suck due to abysmal budgets, bad acting, and terrible scripts. This movie is great because it felt like a great western that had horror present instead of a horror movie trying to hide its low budget with horses and six shooters.

olivia colman

everytime she cries

Yes, she was fantastic. Genuinely terrifying. She deserved all the awards. But her nominations and wins are notable bc back then it was extremely rare (almost unheard of) for a straight up Horror movie to be nominated for Oscars in the major categories.

The Silence of the Lambs is the prime example given it swept the awards at the academy:

Best Picture, Best Actor in a Leading Role, Best Actress in a Leading Role, Best Director, Best Screenplay.

And Dead Birds

why does everyone hate Marvel now?

Maybe I am just jaded from a life of horror movies, but I was constantly told by so many people and reddit how brutal that specific kill was. Now I did not know the specifics or anything so I kept waiting for somethinf absolutely horrific to happen. When the guy gets killed, I looked to my friend and asked if that was the scene and he excitedly confirmed.

Honestly all the nonstop hype about this scene led to it being a huge disappointment. Like, it was pretty sudden and brutal but not as violent as everyone kept saying it was...compared to Laid to Rest, The collection, or even moments in the Evil Dead remake, it just didn't live up to the hype...

If I had not been waiting for it or told about it and it just suddenly happened, it probably would have been a huge WOW moment but with everyone constantly bringing it up, it just made me go "oh...ok..."

Movie is still good. They dont pull punches with killing off characters which adds a lot to the tension and realism to the story. Acting was on point and the characters very likable. I give it all the credit it deserves otherwise.
