Not sure what happened but she seems really insufferable, the interview where she humiliates the interviewer for asking if she lost weight painted her as such a high school mean girl. I’m sure Baldoni dealt with that and snapped at some point.
Unbreakable > The Sixth Sense. Also, Split is good. Knock at the Cabin Door was decent enough imo.
People were just alot dumber back then. “Durrr no mike myers???? Durrr movie bad!!!” And they completey ignore the outstanding atmosphere that makes the movie so great.
They hated The Thing too. “Durrr too gory durrr”
You’ve never seen American Graffiti or THX-138?
Yeah, and it SUCKS. Perverted ass movie.
Don’t forget the verse from 2 Kings, where Elisha prays for two bears to violently maul a group of boys who called him “baldie”. I had to reread that one a couple of times lol. Why didnt we discuss that one in church? And I”’m sure this blind Ben bozo will deflect and deny of this, or will say that we are “misinterpreting the text.”
Someone fell asleep during the story of Abraham…
LOL! So funny that this offended so many christians, but it is entirely true. I read the bible on my own free will after years of going to church and discovered all the stories about rape and murder in the name of God. Most Christians don’t even know that Satan isn’t in Hell yet, but he’s still wondering the earth. Most Christians couldn’t tell you what the Holy Trinity is.
Most Christians have never read the bible. Most atheists have.
I agree. Fan4stic was awful but I’ve wondered how much of that was Trank’s fault; sounds like it would’ve been bad regardless. Capone is just a weird movie, but not weird enough…why make a biopic and paint your subject as a helpless pantswetter? But it could’ve been more Lynchian. It’s just not memorable.
You know it’s bad if Woods was willing to get interviewed by CNN to talk about the problem. Overall, that’s horrible. A housefire is the stuff of nightmares. Couldn’t begin to imagine what it’s like. Hope it all works out somehow.
Yeah but cinematography, atmosphere, and creepiness don’t make for a scary movie. Yes, some scenes looked atmospheric and creepy, but a lot of it looked like one of those 2000’s metal music videos for bands like Marilyn Manson or Rob Zombie. And again, the camera movement and shot composition go so tiring and repetitive that I’d actually say I was NOT a fan of the cinematography.
Francis Ford Coppola’s Dracula is also a highly stylized version of the same story, but I find that cinematography far more interesting and less repetitive.
The story of Nosferatu is so similar to Dracula that it just felt like an excuse to do another Dracula adaptation without actually remaking Dracula. Part of me wonders if it was actually pitched that way, like “hm, we wanna do Dracula, but everyone’s seen it too many times. I know, just remake the ripoff of Dracula!” And I love the original, btw.
George A Romero was a good director but I never really understood the praise he got for being some legendary visionary. He was not an auteur like John Carpenter, another horror director who also made some pretty flawed films, but even the worst from Carpenter was shot, edited, and conducted in such a way that nobody else could. Romero made some good movies, he made fun movies, (I love Dawn of the Dead and Marty) but there wasn’t much about him that screamed cinematic genius. Even Tobe Hooper was a far more tight and interesting auteur, and he was a one-hit wonder IMO.
Land of the Dead should’ve been his big return to mainstream cinema, and it was sorta his real test, but instead it’s was just okay, and it was defeated by the remake of his own Dawn of the Dead that came out the same year. Diary was awful, Survival was…well, I remember nothing about it.
Based on this, I don’t think his Resident Evil would’ve been any better or worse than the one we got. Maybe gorier?
And??? So is O’Neal, and Shaq is black.
He probably wasn’t “offended”. And it probably wasn’t his decision either.
Dracula has a handlebar mustache in the Bram Stoker book, so I thought that might’ve been a nod to the book.
You’re right, he makes movies for film bros who clap like seals every time the camera slowly pans to the left.
I mean it’s a fictional character from a comic book meant for kids, I don’t think ANYONE should be getting offended by that crap. Like, really?
And anyone can be named anything. I’m not hispanic but if I really liked the name Jose, I could name my kid Jose. I also have met a black Norman now that I think about it.
How is it not a black family name? You think it’s impossible for a black guy to be named Norman Osbourne??? Should his name be changed to JarQuavious Ojembekwe or something?
