That reminds me of how The Funhouse novelization is completely different from the movie, which took longer to finish. The book has all this backstory and the remaining third is the part that is similar to the film albeit with changes to character deaths.
Robocop is Jesus.
What people concluded is that the monster is supposed to be the director's self insert.
That's what people like about it.
>tfw you saw the Smithee cut of Dune on The Disney Channel at 2am
I mean it definitely doesn't help that the Creeper is chasing young boys and smelling their underwear. But yeah, 2 is really good. I love that they show the creeper for a long time and that you can really analyze him as a viewer (it's the scene where the students are all on the bus and he smells out his victims). Far too few modern (monster) horror films let you actually have a good look at the monster.
Until the centipede has several scenes of teenage boys pissing.
I saw it in a cinema and it didn't help. But got to disagree that it's better at the cinema, with a big oled tv it would look far better then the cinema screen, as long as you get a 4K Blu ray or a rip of a 4k Blu ray.
I caught some of the first and most of the second on cable back in the day. I didn't love the pronounced homo vibe. But Ray Wise was really my favorite part of it all.
Cutting content/editing down is a huge part of writing any story, be that a script or a novel or a short story. It takes longer to convey something through written word rather than visuals of course, but that doesn't mean writing is about vomiting out as much content as possible; quite the opposite. Film novelizations probably try to add in additional content to justify their existence, although I haven't read enough to judge.
Hereditary is such a weird film. The acting is very good and the cinematography is good too. In theory, I like its themes/parallels about familial trauma and cycles of abuse and relating that to demonic possession. In theory, I like the idea of a story about a grieving mother losing her marbles only to learn that she actually wasn't losing her marbles but that there genuinely is a conspiracy to do harm to her and her family and invoke a demon, if only because the inverse (there's actually no demon/ghost and the main character is just crazy) is so overdone. However in execution I found Hereditary to be so fucking boring. I didn't care that the daughter died because she was repulsive and gross and I didn't want to see her anymore. I don't want to see an hour and a half of a family falling apart in their grief because that's just sad. I found the finale entertaining once things actually start happening, but that's not enough to justify the film's existence.
It's not a ghost movie but I do agree it's dull
Love that. Stealing it.
I agree with this regarding Eggers, he's obviously a skilled filmmaker but it's always seemed to me that there's something fundamental missing in his films that I can't exactly pinpoint, but "bloodless" is a good way to put it.
I experienced that when I saw Cronenberg's A History of Violence in the theater and the crowd treated it like a comedy.
Die.
Say what you will about e.g. Roman Polanski, he at least made movies about topics other than how much he liked molesting children.
It will be so fucking funny when it's still a bunch of screens even this one time the jank Universal robots wouldn't look like shit
The speculation map has one of the scare zones marked with the M3gan "E", so you might get your wish earlier than expected
