Super bleak and Romero's politics in your face. I don't see the problem here. wasn't a criticism but major props.

Clicked on the og Dawn of the dead just to say “save to watch later” and ended up watching the whole thing. It’s probably the only movie I can watch literally any time and be satisfied One of the few GOAT films for me. Did you see that full 2.5 hour cut with the Goblin soundtrack and everything upscaled? All for free on YouTube due to that dipshit holding onto the rights. Fucking masterpiece. Yeah, that’s the one I watched! So sick

I agree with all the Dawn of the Dead praise, I can watch the movie anytime... there was one summer my friends and I watched it basically every day, still not sick of it. Bought the 4K disc a couple years ago and it blew my socks off.

Furiosa was alright. Wanted to like it. Thought the narrative, characters, costumes, and sets that weren’t 90% reliant on cgi were good. But I couldn’t get over the awful green screen and car action shots that were completely, and awkwardly, rough cgi. A little montage of Fury Road in the credits just a stark reminder of the difference. I don't think they pulled off the human drama well at all. There's a reason these movies usually have so little exposition/detailed character motivation. Also not helped by Hemsworth who I didn't think pulled off the role. The end was so dragged out, made me wanna watch The Proposition instead.

Road Warrior sells the bleak, waaay far out there a million miles from civilization setting cuz they’re shooting in that setting. Fury Road has some of that but tempered with grandiosity and scale, veered long into the cartoonish with sets and visuals. Furiosa just looks like a cartoon, some of it handed off to interns. Any time a character was rendered in cgi for an action scene, it looked bad.

Romulus was pretty sick, but the theater we saw it in had super dark projection on top of too many aisle lights, which made it hard to see just about anything.

I remember like 10 years ago half of the major theater chain cinemas in town had the brightness so low on every screen every time I wen't and it was such a bummer. I’d rent the Blu from Redbox couple months later and was always blown away by how much I’d missed.

It's playing in Dolby here for 3-5 showings a day. I was gonna burn a free watch but I don't know shit about Alien movies yet. I made a last minute choice to see Tyrese and Ray Liotta in a Red Box level heist film called 1992 that takes place during the Rodney King riots completely alone in the theater. Fell asleep, farted, got up and checked every viewing angle and had the time of my life.

Truthfully, if you don't know anything about the alien series, you're better off watching it since the myriad of complaints about callbacks won't apply to you. If you like it, follow it up with alien, then aliens, then Terminator and Terminator 2 cuz it's a Cameron night, then hop over to the action movie thread.
I should rewatch alien vs predator and see if it's as bad as I remember or if it's dumb fun

Fede recently said he’d be down to co direct an AVP along with director of Prey. Did we talk about this? Please make this happen, I’m fucking all about this

Saw Romulus on shrooms and wasn't sure if Ash's weird mouth placement was the shrooms or if it was shit AI. Bummed to learn it was shit AI. 💔 I still liked the movie though.

Prey should have been seen in the theater. Fuck you forever Disney Disney can go take a long walk off a short pier frfr. That shit in the Disney Plus terms & conditions, essentially allowing them to get away with murdering your family. Christ. I've been diligent about boycotting the beast, but obvs caved for Romulus. I'm still conflicted about my decision. Probably should've bootlegged. But, ALIENS MAN.

An inferior screen, projector, too much house lighting, whatever the culprit, it was super disappointing. There were spots that were almost outright black. Like a ton of shit was lost. Despite that, movie was still a really good time, and we could at least make out the blood/gravity scene, which was awesome as hell. Looking forward to seeing it again, and actually being able to tell wtf is happening on screen.

Shaun of the Dead in Dolby ruled. A fine piece of cinema! And dude one of my all time favorite moviegoing experiences is catching -by pure luck- the first US showing of it at the Royal Oak Main Art theater (RIP 2 years ago). And to top it off, after end credits there was a q&a with Edward Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. They were there. WTF. The friends I wen't with, none of us knew who they were. I don't think most people did. At the time we thought it was neat lol
