Has anyone seen the Longmont potion castle film yet? I read that it sux which is a shame. Most interviews I’ve heard or read with him are shit too. Really wanna know why he did that for thirty years. Expected the film to provide. As a huge LPC fan, it's not very good. The main arc is basically of the filmmakers making the doc. A lot of it is staged and unfunny. There's lots of fans interviewed and some ok parts where they find people that he has called before. But I'd rather listen to a good solid interview with the man himself speaking about his ethos, methods, etc. but thats not presented.

So bad. Ive listened to a few interviews and it always turns out “hur hur this is what i like about your calls” and barely anything about him. Seems like that’s the movie too.

I just saw a trailer for that LPC doc, it looks like an amateur attempt at trying to replicate Exit Through the Gift Shop.

The actress from the new child's play movie keeps saying how iconic chucky is.Is that why you are making a remake and had the balls to change his fucking look.I mean if you are going for horror with astro boy eyes that turn red you done fucked up. Do you mean Aubrey Plaza? She wouldn't have any input on his design for this movie. Also, he does look pretty much the same. Why don't we just chill and see how the movie is?

I didn't say she did. and not really. The problem is if he's so iconic then why change his design at all and then give him glowing red anime eyes?He never had red eyes before the fuck is that shit? Is that because thats some how different which proves my point you wouldn't make a mortal kombat movie where johnny cage wore a dress.

Non-Fiction is an inclusive talky comedy. I will say, making a reference to getting a blowjob in a theater while The White Ribbon is playing will always get a big laugh out of me. There is a bit of Irma Vep charm to it.

The weird thing about the new Child’s Play is that Aubrey Plaza is playing a mom. God I’m getting old

I don't have high hopes for that Child's Play remake but I'll give it a fair shot only because Mark Hamill.

Expected the film to provide. Saw it at a theatre here in town. One of the filmmakers was there and he called up LPC on speakerphone to answer some questions from the crowd. Eventually he started taking requests and calling phone numbers people in the crowd were shouting out. Most of them wen't to voicemail so it was pretty unremarkable, but it was cool as a longtime fan to hear his voice in realtime.
People are right about the film. There's some cool stuff in it (like when dude actually makes contact with LPC and gets invited to his home studio, drives around with LPC talking about his career a bit), but largely it's a waste of time.

Let’s talk about the state of 2019 cinema
I was looking back at my watch list from last year and then my list for this year and man oh man what an abysmal outing for 2019. I feel like the best movies I’ve seen this year were mostly festival flicks from 2018 that just now got a release or foreign offerings I’ve just now gotten around to watching. The year is already half way over and I can’t really think of one movie that I’m excited about. Piercing was pretty cool. Us was fun. Am I alone in feeling this way!?
edit: just remembering I missed Climax and I need to track down Ash Is Purest White. Anyone see The Mustang?

The Mustang is solid. It's not as good as Lean on Pete or The Rider, but still solid.
There's some good stuff coming out this year. The Nightingale looks fucking sick. New Tarantino. New Herzog. Midsommar looks tight. Almodovar's new film is getting massive buzz at Cannes right now. The Lighthouse sounds fucking sick...new film from the director of The Witch. I believe the movie Nic Cage did with Sion Sono sounds insane. I've also been hearing great things about The Souvenir.
Long Day's Journey into the Night is probably my favorite film of this year. Birds of Passage was fucking tight too. To Dust is also a pretty underrated gem that not many people have seen this year.

Still need to see Long Day's Journey Into Night. I think 2018 was an especially strong year, fwiw.

Still need to see Long Day's Journey Into Night. This is for sure on my list. Just reading the synopsis makes me think of Bergman's A Ship To India.

You'd think they learn with the recent Predator movie and The Last Jedi. It's looks like it's going to same approach as the 21 Jump Street movies.

re: 2019
At the start of the year 2018's slate of movies had me thinking it could have been one of the best movie years ever. But then so many of the movies I was excited for weren't just meh, they were actively not good: Vice, Destroyer, Don't Worry He Won't Get Far On Foot, Girl In The Spiders Web, Mary Queen Of Scatts, Beautiful Boy, The Wife, The Land Of Steady Habits, Hold The Dark, Lizzie....then there were the ones that were just okay, which might be worse because all their pieces set them up to be great: Widows, BlackkKlansman, Creed II, Wildlife...all a wide assortment of indies that had 2018 looking foine, but alas
I'll be happy with 2019 if the rest of the A24s deliver (The Souvenir, Midsommer, The Lighthouse, The Farewell) and Ad Astra ends up being tight

The predator is either dumb intentionally or non intentionally but i wouldn't say its a comedy.The last jedi had way more comedy than a star wars film should have I will certainly agree there.Yes its a trend but there is in some ways only so much you can do to bring a dead series back.Now if they should even be making these movies if they need to do that is a better argument.

I also mentioned the new Shaft could be fun based on the fact that they wen't with a 21 Jump Street approach. The Predator felt like I was watching a parody rather than a Predator movie, there was way too many jokes. That scene in the hotel room was so cringeworthy, most specifically all the tourettes jokes with Thomas Jane's character throughout the film. Tourettes guys capped that market, I don't need any more Tourettes humor. I get that Shane Black incorporates humor into his movies and I expected that, but it was comedy overload.
