Tried to watch the Rob Zombie “Munsters” and it made me feel ill.
Seasick specifically. It’s totally bad. It is not The Munsters. |
The colours are insane…the set design and outfits are fucking bonkers too but at least in black and white they would have looked fantastic.
Rob Zombie is a franchise destroyer. He cannot be trusted with beloved old media. He ruins it. |

Watch the Paul Newman version please. It’s obviously not as good but the performance is arguably better. It’s the darkest Paul Newman film besides Hombre. |

Same title?

Orphan: First Kill: 7.5/10
The first one hit us with a huge plot twist, second one hits because they they put her with a family just as eff up as her. I haven't hated Julia Stiles this much since cheating on Bradley Cooper in Silver Lining Playbook, I mean Jesus I'm straight and I would polish prime Bradley Cooper off. |
RRR - 9/10
Pretty epic.... pretty long but didn't feel it. |
Top Gun: Maverick - 8.5/10
If it had more singing/dancing interludes it could have been 9/10 like RRR. |
You have my attention

Hidden Fortress (1958) - 8/10
The film doesnt have as much to say as the deeper films in the Kurwasawa catalog but its not voiceless. Visually its very interesting. The framing is perfect nearly always. Thats been a big treat for me watching his films the last month or so is this lost art of wide shots not overly edited. Another common strand is his use of perspective. Most of his films toys with it in some fashion. With Rashomon its the central narrative and with Ikiru its through multiple perspectives that the third act is laid out. Yojimbo and Sanjuro both use it in similar ways. Yojimbo allows you to piece together the towns politics through infiltration of both sides. Sanjuro twists that slightly but its very similar in concept. With Hidden Fortress we have a zeppo story that has us follow characters that the story isnt about. That said this is up there for me with Seven Samurai and Yojimbo/Sanjuro. It doesnt break through the bar set by his more serious pictures but its still outstanding and worth seeing for anyone who loves the medium of film. |
Sissy on Shudder. I'm probably the only one with a sub for it but I'll give it a 6.5/10
Very trippy movie... very different to see the social commentary it brought. Mental health, murder, and LGBT can be bullies, too. etc. |

DC League of Superpets - 4/10
Not sure why/how this exists.... but it could have been a lot of fun. It was not. |
Saló Or: 120 Days of Sodom (1975) - NR
A different kind of horror film. A film that uses a paper thin allegory to paint a truly hideous vision of fascism. Reasonably considered pornographic the film pushes every boundary possible to illustrate its rage against the social order in a way that only a post ww2 Italy could. The film essentially is the famous Aristocrats joke but played with out the laugh track. What leaves me unable to rate the film is i truly dont know how to fee about it. Its message is illuminated clearly for anyone with a brain in their heads but its so incredibly difficult to view. To that end there was an entire sequence i literally couldnt watch and nearly got sick with just the implication of it. I cant fault the film because it's doing exactly what it aimed to do. To make me uncomfortable. The film unquestionably highlights how the writer was made to feel using the most profane metaphors possible. But i cant view it. And since i cant i cant rate it. It is excellent. It is horrific. It will stick with me. |
It’s definitely not excellent. If you want excellence you skip to the wedding night rape-fisting scene in Caligula.
|
Strongly disagree but i wont debate it. I can see the contention.
|
I dislike it for aesthetic, not moral reasons.
Where was the joy? |
There is none and if thats the metric you're seeking you wont find it in Salo. And i respect that desire. Im a seeker of truth and i think there's a lot here.
|
All of that debauchery and not one sadist matched up with a masochist?
They ate shit together! |
I think we can both agree that it’s an impossible wank

A Serious Man (2009)- 6/10
Im rating this lower because thats my grasp on a first viewing. I think the film is much better but its so deliberately steeped in jewish culture that there's a complete aspect of the film i dont have a handle on. I dont think it makes the film bad it makes my take on the film bad. It isnt intended for me, presently at least. SPOILER: show |
Haven't seen it, but apparently one of the lead actors is upset that Bro's didn't do so well.
Naturally, it's because "straight people didn't show up." Question though...... With the gay community being "one of the marginalized" communities, do said communities automagically expect those "on the outside" to give them attention because they yell for it or??? I don't mean this in a bad spirited kinda way..... but like, maybe if the movie was humorous in a funny way and not just "stereotypical gay jokes" it would be better?? Also heard poo poo'ing on the side of the dude trying to say it was 'historic" for a gay movie...... but like.... The Birdcage? To Wong Fu: Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar? there's more, but both of those movies are fucking outstanding. The "outrage" from the dude and saying "the straight people didn't come to see" just.... YOU'RE NOT FUCKING FUNNY K? |
I’m not watching films about men ass fucking
|
mmhmm. apparently we're part of the problem?
|
I’d watch two women doing it, I’m broad minded like that.
I just think if you watch a couple of gay guys for too long you start to smell cum everywhere. Like when you walk your dog through an area with linden trees. |

Ed Wood - 4/10
Fine? As far as achieving an aesthetic vision the film meets its goals both visually and in the performances but it just doesnt do anything. None of the characters achieve a meaningful arc and most dont have any arc to speak of. Its not bad its just... a bread sandwich. Looks nice enough at a glance until you realize there's nothing in it. |

I think the same guy upset over Bros (I might be wrong cuz I suddenly cannot remember the name, but he was a main role in Bros) not doing well went off about how it's not right for Brendan Fraser to be in The Whale because he's straight and not fat and they could have gotten a fat gay guy to play the role better.....
I think he just walked into a trap of backlash he isn't ready for with that one. |
Guy Branum is the dude I'm talking about upset at Brendan. Think he's the same one drave referenced.

Screw it, starting a new tradition of signing up for Shudder in October every year. Blood Machines it is.

The Master (2012) - 8/10
This film is incredibly deep and is a film I'll inevitably peel layers off over repeated viewings over my lifetime. In one viewing I'm completely incapable of sussing out its deeper meaning. There is one there but its out of my grasp. As that process goes on this could easily, and likely, be much better than an 8. Ill focus on what its obtainable. There are few finer films for actors to act. Jaiquin Pheonix, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, Rami Malek and Jesse Plemmons. Really talent all. Pheonix Hoffman and Adams all have the most room to move around in and they all deliver in big ways. The film is beautifully shot. One scene i found particularly striking was a scene in a jail cell. Shot is slightly angled in just a way we cant see as much as we want and just far enough away creating this voyeuristic visual tension where we feel like we're eavesdropping all the while eagerly wanting to overhear more. The film is full of these kinds of moments where the camera is used in a way that adds a lot to the scenes. The surface level plot is very interesting with L Ron Hubbard derivative and in that role Haffman is as compelling as it gets. The relationship between Pheonix and Haffmans characters is dynamic and compelling and think on a metaphorical level they might be the same person, but again im no where near able to really analyze it deeply at all. Strong film. I wish i could go deeper with it but i dont think its meant to be digested in one sitting, and at the very least i wasnt able to do it. |

I saw Barbarian also a few week ago and it was bad???
Okay I guess it was “okayish”, horror is my 2nd least favorite genre only ahead of “stupid ass comic book movies” I guess there were some parts I liked though If I were that chick I would have totally hooked up with Keith after he waited to open the wine bottle |
