Which Films have you seen lately? Number K'. Someone was spreading lies about Joseph 20

[Takhisis]

Today they aired Richie Rich and last weekend was a Lethal Weapon weekend, which raises my hopes that this year they'll put proper Eksmas movies on, such as Home Alone, the aforementioned Lethal Weapon, and, of course, Die Hard, instead of recycled ‘angling for a kiss under a mistletoe’ plots.

Or National Lampoons Christmas Vacation.

If that's the one with Chevy Chase, then I think it's been on recently.

 

[Chukchi Husky]

What about Gremlins? Or Batman Returns?

 

[Takhisis]

That's weird. Both have been on sometime this year, but they aren't usually aired as Christmas films.

Pink Flamingos, by John Waters.

I was staying at a buddy's house last week, we got drunk, and he decided to put this on without telling me its premise to get my "honest opinion". It was...er, something else.

That's accurate. The version we saw included the original trailer, which was just people coming out of a screening talking about it. No scenes were shown.

I saw The Menu as well and I quite liked it. The message I got from it was that food is primarily meant to be eaten for sustenance and enjoyment. You can get artistic with food but when that interferes with the sustenance/enjoyment part then you're just a food snob.

I can see that too. At times though, it seemed like they were trying to maybe speak more broadly on art and artists though? It is worth a re-watch sometime

They are so unlikeable..how can i root for detectives when all they do is curse, hit people and fail on every police level.

For what it's worth, I don't think you're necessary supposed to like them. I think it's meant to be a damning portrayal of the police in Korea at the time too. You may like THE HOST though in case you haven't seen that! Same director, same lead actor but it's a monster movie like JAWS

Going by the wiki page, and from memory of how Allen was presented in the movie, it would appear the movie makes him be more of a suspect than in the real events.
Or maybe it's just the cheesy way they ended the movie, with paranoia about someone else (iirc a projectionist).

My impression is that Fincher personally believes it was Allen and kind of skewed the movie that way. One of my favorite details though is that every time we see the killer, it's a different actor

The Host was much better (watched it some years ago), would give 8/10.

He had a long-running role in Walker, Texas Ranger, too. That's mostly how I knew him.

Went with a De Palma double feature of BLOW OUT and BODY DOUBLE. BLOW OUT may be the best political thriller I've ever seen (5/5) while BODY DOUBLE feels like the movie Hitchcock wishes he was allowed to make. Fantastic. 4.5/5

I kind of hated the ending of Blow Out.

House of Darkness was better than the ratings suggest, imo.

~90mins movie heavily based on dialogues, worked for me cos it's either funny or interesting talk.
So what made this special? I knew very well what's going on, and they made no attempts to disguise it.
Which was needed to have fun with their talk, lots of puns and sneaky questions that work better if you know (or strongly suspect).

Overall gothic style i guess..everything happens in an isolated mansion.
Some may enjoy the relaxed pacing (not many scenery switches and almost no jump scares), while those in the mood for action could get bored.
An intentional obvious movie surely isn't for everyone. Stunning ending however (some gore included).

This article gives a more detailed, positive review if you want: https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/house-of-darkness-movie-review-2022
I can give hmm..a generous 7/10. Was different and never annoying.
Oh and there are sexy ladies for you guys in this one, yup

Pretty sure this will be as iconic as Sharknado.

I'll have to keep my eye on the new Indiana Jones movie after the real snooze-fest that was Crystal Skull. "Dial of Destiny"? I see 1960s cars but also Nazi Europe...Sounds like time travel.
