redhorsejacket, in The Friday the 13th Series - re:View (Part 2)

Whivh movie in the series do y’all have the most fun with? I unabashedly love Jason X for the schlocky drivel that it is. I’m glad the series didn’t continue in that vein, but I am supremely pleased it exists.

Whirling_Cloudburst, in John Carpenter on being called a "master director of horror": "That's nice; sorry, I'm eating a Popsicle"

Steven Colbert recently interviewed him: Part 1 Part 2 Its a scream.

That’s fucking great, I love this movie

grayhaze, in Let's talk time travel
@grayhaze@lemmy.world avatar

Why does a time travel movie have to have a perfect loop to be “correct”? I’m personally a fan of time travel stories that result in branching timelines, where nothing is written in stone and everything is fair game for alteration. A loop is just boring, as nothing has any consequence.

WuTang, in Gen Z is turned off by onscreen sex, wants no-mance over romance, a new study finds
@WuTang@lemmy.ninja avatar

strange, I thought it was aimed at them, hence the shitty Netflix billboard that I am impossible to scroll with my kids around and tbh, I feel also this shit as an aggression, like ads.

lingh0e, in Leave The World Behind | Official Trailer | Netflix

Is that Mya Hawks dad and Eric Roberts sister? Ugh. Nepo-family.

H_Interlinked, in Leave The World Behind | Official Trailer | Netflix

Song is “Oh Baby” from LCD Soundsystem’s American Dream album. One of the better tracks on their least popular album.

canthidium, in ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Needed a Certain Look — So Panavision Invented It
@canthidium@lemmy.world avatar

Pretty amazing. I was fascinated by the look the whole time. To me, it had a look similar to B&W photos that had been colorized. Which really gave it this sense of the time period. It definitely looked like it was filmed in the 20s/30s.

CeruleanRuin,

There were a number of shots that took my breath away. The movie is depressing as hell, but damn does it look good.

leftzero, in AI Movie Finder - Find a Movie by Describing it

“Pigs and diamonds” got me Snatch. Seems good.

leftzero, (edited )

And “horse drowns in quicksand, very sad” got me The Neverending Story. Also good.

leftzero,

Third try got me a login prompt (how about no). Definitely not good.

leftzero,

OK, opening it on another browser worked. “why it was so easy to blow up the death star” got me Rogue One. So far 3/3, plus a login prompt which drops the score to 0/4.

leftzero,

OK, last try: (spoiler warning) “Turns out he was Jesus” got me The Man From Earth.

This shit would be good, if it weren’t for the login prompt.

leftzero,

OK, last last one; “That one with Bill Murray and the gopher” got me Caddyshack, which I haven’t seen but does seem to be a better match than Groundhog Day, which is what I was going for (trying to see if the AI could figure out I was mixing my rodents; turns out there are too many Bill Murray rodent focused films for that to be a valid test, my bad).

I had to do it in a third browser 'cause the login prompt came back, though, so I won’t be doing any more attempts, between that and the GDPR prompt it’s pretty clear they don’t want people using their site. Shame, as the tool seems pretty good, but what can you do. 🤷‍♂️

steve_floof, in [DISCUSSION] [SPOILERS] - DICKS: THE MUSICAL - Josh Sharp, Aaron Jackson, Nathan Lane

Loved it, way more clever and dumb at the same time than I ever could have imagined. Megan Mullally deserves a comedy Oscar.

“Shh… Daddy’s singing”

anon_8675309, in AI Movie Finder - Find a Movie by Describing it

Everything I type in it returns an episode of The Simpsons.

I kid…

canthidium, in RUSTIN | Official Trailer | Netflix
@canthidium@lemmy.world avatar

I love that Colman Domingo is showing up in more stuff. And now a starring role. He’s great and deserves it.

Princeali311, in AMERICAN FICTION Trailer (2023) Jeffrey Wright, Adam Brody

Lol Brody isn’t even named in the title as a secondary star. What about Issa Rae?

5in1k, in What are you watching? (October 2023)

My movie night group watched The Woman King and Us, The Woman King was ok, fairly generic besides it being lady warriors. Us I liked a lot if I don’t try to logic it out. I really liked in the beginning with the dad like being in a different movie than the rest of his brooding family. He reminded me of the Dad from Eraserhead eating his mutant chicken just trying to have a calm day after work.

On this Thursday we’re watching Ready or Not and From Beyond, both I haven’t seen before.

Us I liked a lot if I don’t try to logic it out.

Us is the very epitome of explaining “suspension of disbelief” IMO. I enjoyed it but if you think about the logistics AT ALL, it all falls apart.

On this Thursday we’re watching Ready or Not and From Beyond, both I haven’t seen before.

Love both of these. Ready or not is more slasher/thriller, but it’s a fun ride. From Beyond is just weird, but I love it. It’s silly horror effects and 80s weirdness in a perfect package.

5in1k,

Yeah, last Halloween I had em watch Re-Animator, I’m hoping for similar.

canthidium,
@canthidium@lemmy.world avatar

I’d definitely put it in a similar vein.

gwindli, in There is a new horror movie on Hulu that caught my eye.

i have extremely low standards and i couldn’t make it past the unnecessarily long winded setup. it’s pretty bad.

Crackhappy,
@Crackhappy@lemmy.world avatar

Oh it’s horrendously bad, agreed.

jordanlund, in Why is everything a sequel, reboot or remake?
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

The top 2 movies this year were not sequels, reboots, or remakes:

www.boxofficemojo.com/year/2023/?ref_=bo_yl_table…

1 Barbie $635,171,975

2 The Super Mario Bros. Movie $574,934,330

2 more in the top 10:

5 Oppenheimer $323,715,325

10 Sound of Freedom $184,038,874

So 4 out of the top 10, including the top 2 are new to film.

Not bad… The reason the Creator didn’t do well is that it’s apparently not very good:

MargotRobbie, (edited )
@MargotRobbie@lemmy.world avatar

Of course, there is an inevitable sequel coming to one of these movies…

weew,

While Barbie and Mario aren’t sequels, they are very much banking on the fact that they are extremely well established brands worldwide.

Oppenheimer has Christopher Nolan’s name.

In the end it’s all about branding and marketing. Sequel are easy to market, as well as other well known brands, and superstar directors or actors.

The Sound of Freedom is genuinely a rare surprise.
