I’ve often though Event Horizon would make a good futuristic supplement for the D&D setting of Ravenloft.

Maybe your brother just thinks that thrillers are better at horrifying, than real horror movies. Not that hard to imagine.

Predator isn't a thriller either though, it's clearly an action movie. And if you put Predator in as horror, you might as well throw everything in that basket.

Huh?

I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

I loved the movie but I think the ending is laughable and just misses the point of the rest of the movie. Chazelle described Babylon as "a hate letter to Hollywood," and the entire movie reflects that, up until that ending. It's a very strange way to end the movie that's about Hollywood ruining and killing its talent throughout the decades. Aside from the tonal issues, I just thought it was cheesy. It's like something I'd watch on YouTube and say "Oh, neat" about and never think of again. It's just very odd all around.

Karate Kid II :)

Very true. Aight, I'm in for it!

This isn't a short film that you would ever show (it's geared for more younger kids and is an "older film", but I recommend that everyone watch it at least once as it might be one of the saddest films ever:

The Mailbox (1977)

Separate the artist from the work, my man, or you will have nothing left to enjoy.

It's so weird to see people and their terrible theater experiences. I haven't had a terrible experiences in many years. The last time I can remember is people starting a fight before passion of the Christ. I remember rolling my eyes at hearing a baby cry before the force awakens, but it fell asleep as the movie started.

I haven't read the book, but was really intrigued by the movie. It felt like the story had way more to offer. Especially some characters like Valentine needed a lot more depth. Some parts felt really hurried and it was disappointing to see there was no sequel

Ultimately, yes. From it's wiki: "The Magnificent Seven is a 1960 American Western film directed by John Sturges. The screenplay by William Roberts is a remake – in an Old West–style – of Akira Kurosawa's 1954 Japanese film Seven Samurai (itself initially released in the United States as The Magnificent Seven)"

this is a movie sub

nope

I had an idea for a D&D movie like five years ago. It was a James Franco/Seth Rogen comedy (before their falling out) wherein Seth is at a birthday party for James Franco (much like this is the end). He goes downstairs to get more booze, and while down there, decides to smoke some weed. He’s looking around in the cellar, and sees an old, dusty, dungeons and dragons board. Dave Franco comes downstairs, to see what’s taking Rogan so long, and finds him with the D&D board. He goes in to talking with Seth about how he and James used to play it a little when they were kids but James grew out of it and Dave always wish he hadn’t. Seth then responds with how much he loves D&D; and going into who his character was, their traits stats, etc. as the smoke blows around the room, the two guys start to get really high. It is at this point that they open up the board, and start playing. The movie, sortve goes into a story telling experience (like the princess bride) with Dave & Seth enacting the roles of their respective avatars.

Eventually, more and more guests from the party come down. (Some unexpected), a few of which have gone on record in real life to admitting that they are in-fact gamers, nerds, avid readers of fantasy, etc.

People like Vin Diesel, and Henry Cavill would join the cast, and some really out-there castings and cameos for a really funny story; comedians like, Larry David, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Jack Black, and others would make appearances, along with some of the regulars in these movies like Craig Robinson, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, Kristen Wiig etc.

There was also to be some weird (but funny) additions, like Nicolas Cage, Jack, Nicholson, Christopher, Walken, Elijah, Wood & Sean Astin etc.

The idea is that it’d start out as two guys smoking weed and playing D&D in a basement at a party, and eventually as more people found their way downstairs, become the party itself.

The plot would literally be how the game they were playing unfolded - the moral by the time they close the book and finish the game being something along the lines of you don’t need lots of fortune or fame to have a good time with friends; and don’t forget the child-at-heart, Or Some bullshit.

First was genuinely awful, haven’t seen 2

That’s a negative

Huh?

Of course there are things that are clearly thrillers and things that are clearly Horror. Always has been.

I'm talking about how marketing in the 90s, post Silence of the Lambs, used the thriller tag on certain novels and movies that probably would've been classified as horror previously, to make them appear more "classy" and appeal to a wider audience.

This is not a theory, it's what happened.

Nobody cares.

Fat people on floating chairs with tech to make their lives easier since they can't walk....yea sounds like Wall E to me.

I'm just going to leave this here. https://filmcolossus.com/movie-explanations/banshees-inisherin/ending

I read the original short story in Analog mag as a kid, read almost everything OSC has done since. That said, I was absolutely fucking furious when they put the surprise twist ending in the FUCKING trailer! Will never forgive the Asshats who green lit that. What fucking idiots!

yes that was in Wall E
