Watched NIGHTMARE ALLEY (1947). Can. Not. Wait until Del Toro does his version of this. You can watch this movie and just see GDT recreating it through his own lush style - and that’s just the sets and lighting etc. Although this one skirts with not being film noir - you HAVE to be a person that buys film noir was a style and not a genre - it’s certainly dark in themes. Love this movie. I had no idea it was being remade. With DiCaprio no less. Looking forward to this.

Any reccs for movies shot like the vvitch? Or that tom waits segment of Buster Scruggs? I don't care what the plot is so much as i wanna watch more stuff with those kind of visuals. Just wide open country and lonesome people in them.
Really wanna check out some man v nature stuff, especially if it has the aspect or whatever that the witch is shot in.

It just came out on demand, it has some similarities to The Witch.

Finally watched Clerks the other day. I don't know, I guess it was OK. The writing is definitely awesome, and some of the jokes are great, so I can kind of see why it's a cult classic. But man, the acting is the most brutal I've ever seen in a movie, and some of the scenes are just painfully unfunny (the wake being one example).
Am I alone in not loving this?
I absolutely love that movie even now, and watch it probably once a year, but I'd never question anyone not liking it.

The Last Black Man In San Francisco is the only better than good 2019 A24 movie. I may eventually feel differently about Climax but everything else has been a shoulder shrug.

I just watched The Last Seduction for the first time. So sick. It made me laugh hysterically seeing Peter Berg's character getting manipulated.

Ready Or Not, a metaphor for Fox News on during Thanksgiving dinner.
It was fun. I hope Samara Weaving blows up, she’s great.

Watched a fun little noir called 'He Walked by Night' yesterday that was real solid. Widows the day before, which I thought was fantastic, and ditto with Shock Corridor the day before that.
Got Prisoners coming from Netflix today. Real excited to finally see it.

Pack a lunch for it though, it's 2.5 hours.

I watched a movie not directed by Ed Wood but he wrote it and the screenplay. It was Orgy Of The Dead and it was an hour and thirty minutes of women topless dancing for some grimreaper wannabe.

Gwen was ok. Started great, ended meh. I get it, but it was just hamfisted. Atmosphere was stellar though.
Sword of Trust was funny as hell.

I'm a fan of Lynn Shelton but I didn't get around to seeing this new one. I think it has one more week at a tiny place close, I may go. A lot of stuff to see this weekend: Them That Follow The Nightingale Ready or Not and … Angel Has Fallen aka lets just remake U.S. Marshalls this time around

Anyone know of any cool docs about serial killers in the movies? Looking for something to show my criminology class during the week of Halloween this year. There are plenty of horror docs, and plenty of serial killer docs, but I'm looking for one about the representation of serial killers in movies. That said, I'm open to any and all suggestions.

-I dont want to open those spoiler tags but I bet I know what the first one is about, at least.
-BOMBSHELL is a movie that looks like its made for acting Oscars. As far as politics go, that story seems all but dead and buried. But I'm here for those 3. I really cant believe that's Charlize Theron under there. When we see her talk is going to be weird A-to see if she actually sounds like Kelly, and B-if it sounds like Theron it will be even weirder.
-THE REPORT is kind of along the same lines. I love me some Adam Driver and have for a long time. It looks like he gets to go all Pacino yelling here, but I'm not so sure this is going to hit.
-MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN either works 100% or 0%

Ready or Not was fine. The humor was pretty hit and miss, but I did like the ending and I did like Samsara Weaving.

Aside from a couple funny parts, Good Boys was a snooze fest. Idk, maybe I’m over raunchy comedy.
