Hollywood: Shit or Garbage?
Greeks are unhappy being written out of their own foundational national myth in the upcoming The ODEIssy.
It's interesting, if a little sad, that the only answer to a Muh Representation argument is another Muh Representation argument. The Mandala Effect and Gorp made $101 million over the four-day (actually five) day weekend, matching the original low projections, but beating the revised, even-lower projections of $80 million. Which I now wonder wasn't an effort at expectations-lowering so that Disney could claim they matched expectations. Something kind of amazing has been happening since the weekend, beginning Tuesday. The independent, super-low-budget, YouTuber-made horror film Obsession -- which is about a Low-T Beta Cuck who wishes for a hot girl to love him more than she has ever loved before, and then discovers that the love of an obsessed, magically-deranged psychotic stalker isn't so wonderful --has been slowly catching up to the Star Wars film's daily takings, and has now overtaken it.
To the cast and creative team of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey,
We write to you as Greeks, not as fragments of antiquity, not as echoes from museum displays, and not as characters sealed in marble, but as a living people whose story has never stopped being written. First, we wish you well. Cinema has always carried the power to reimagine ancient texts, to cross borders of language and time, and to reintroduce old stories to new generations. Homer's Odyssey belongs, in many ways, to the shared cultural imagination of humanity. We understand the ambition behind bringing it to the screen on a global scale, and we recognise the artistic tradition of reinterpretation that has surrounded these epics for centuries. But we also ask you to consider something that is often overlooked in modern retellings of Greek stories. We did not vanish. Greek people did not disappear after the age of myth. Greek culture was not frozen in classical marble. Greek language was not extinguished in antiquity. We are still here. ... At every stage, something essential remained unbroken: language, memory, and cultural continuity. Greek is still spoken today, the oldest continuously surviving language in Europe. Not reconstructed. Not revived. But lived. That continuity matters when stories like The Odyssey are retold. Odysseus is not only a universal symbol of endurance, struggle, and homecoming. He is also part of a cultural inheritance that has been carried through every one of those historical layers -- retold by Byzantine scholars, preserved in manuscripts copied through the medieval world, studied during the Renaissance, and still taught, spoken, and reinterpreted in Greece today. This is why conversations about representation matter deeply to us. We are not asking for exclusion or limitation. We are not arguing against diversity, nor against reinterpretation. Greek culture itself has always been shaped by exchange, migration, and encounter across centuries. What we are asking is something simpler and more human. That when Greek stories are retold on a global stage, Greek people are not rendered invisible within them. ... So as you step into Homer's world - into seas, wanderings, gods, and returning kings - we ask that you carry this awareness with you: That Greece is not only a setting in antiquity. It is a living country. Greek people are not historical figures. We are contemporaries. ... We did not vanish. We are still here.
Obsession' Has Dethroned 'The Mandalorian And Grogu' At The Box Office By Paul Tassi There is effectively no precedent to describe what's happening with Obsession right now, the low-budget horror film that has achieved milestones like increasing 39% in revenue in its second weekend after word-of-mouth spread. But that was even more impressive given that it was going up against the first new Star Wars movie in seven years, The Mandalorian and Grogu, which did win the weekend handily. But now? Obsession is...beating it. Daily box office tracking is now showing that Obsession is now beating The Mandalorian and Grogu handily as of this Wednesday, earning $5.6 million domestically to Mando's $4.1 million on that day. And again, this is the second week of Obsession's release (this Wednesday is practically a non-existent drop from last Wednesday) and this is Mando's first week. It also appears that Obsession could be heading into a third weekend where its revenue increases from last week's $24 million. That would now be going up against both The Mandalorian and Grogu and fellow YouTuber-directed, low-budget horror film Backrooms, which is now projected to make a mammoth $40-60 million, resulting in back-to-back hits for the genre. But Obsession is still in a league of its own in terms of its earning trajectory.Backrooms itself is based on YouTube short films, and directed by the original YouTuber. There's every chance that Obsession will battle Backrooms for the #1 spot, dropping Mufflerrepair and Gauges to #3 in its second weekend. Beaten by two low-budget YouTube movies. Film Threat's Chris Gore says it's "riveting." He says it's "going to be huge." Allen Ng agrees it's "anxiety-inducing" but also says that the mysteries posed by the film aren't resolved. They both agree that this is intended as the first film in a franchise, so they're not going to properly finish it now. Eh, I'm not sure I object to that. The thing about WTF Bizarro Mysteries is that they're not supposed to be resolved. The solution to the mystery would be antithetical to the point of posing a question which is supposed to be imponderable, without an answer. I have thoughts about this. I'm a big fan of thrillers. Thrillers are just mysteries with simpler plots and lots of running around and yelling. I'm also a fan of Twilight Zone WTF premises. This kind of thriller just has something impossibly strange happen in the opening, and promises you, don't worry, by the end, we'll have explained this impossibly strange situation in a logical and satisfying manner. But here's the thing: That promise is a lie 95% of the time. The more bizarre and fantastical your opening gambit is, the less likely it will be that you can conjure any sort of explanation of any degree of plausibility or satisfaction. And this whole subgenre depends on starting off with the most outlandish and impossible premise you can think of. That's why 90% of these stories end with some variation of "It was all a dream... or was it?" or "Oh my God, we've been dead the whole time! We're in hell!" The most original and startling the opening, the more you can be sure that the cameras are all in comas imaging it all in some kind of group hallucination. Because seriously, what the hell kind of "logical" explanation can you actually come up with to explain this nonsense? Normal thrillers-- those without the sci-fi/fantasy/bizarro weirdness premise -- also struggle to explain why anything in the movie actually happened. North by Northwest famously makes no real sense, and is just one set piece after another. So my point is that anyone who likes this kind of thing and has been around the block a few times goes into it knowing there will almost certainly not be a satisfying and logical third-act explanation, and that the enjoyment will just derive from the freaky-deaky premise and the exploration of that through the second act. These movies (and books and stories) are all journey, no destination. Every once in a long while, a thriller or Twilight Zone thriller will actually conjure up an ending that does make sense and does answer all of your questions. And that will become an instant classic. But that is definitely not the way most of these go. So if Backrooms never explains what's going on -- 1, it's not supposed to, the question is more interesting than any possible answer and 2, any answer they give will be stupid so why don't they just save us the disappointment and say We May Never Know the Motive. The NY Post says Hollywood is afraid... of interlopers from YouTube beating them up and stealing their lunch money.
Hollywood trembles in fear of the havoc the internet has wrought and will continue to wreak on its core business. Execs wake up in a cold sweat from a nightmare that blockbusters have been replaced by 30-second TikTok videos. And, yikes, they almost have. But perhaps the key to a prosperous future is collaboration. Enter "Backrooms": A disquieting and smart new horror film from A24 that, for now, can only be seen in theaters, yet is the brainchild of 4chan and YouTube users. Its director Kane Parsons is just 20 years old and his movie is already an uncommonly hot title with the younger set. Eighty-eight percent of its packed preview night audiences around the country were under 35. You can see why. While the main character of "Backrooms," Clark (Chiwetel Ejiofor), is a sleep-deprived, middle-aged man whose dreams of being an architect have been crushed as irreparably as his marriage, a youthful energy pervades Parsons' strange and engrossing journey into the unfurnished abyss. The seed of "Backrooms" was planted in 2019 when a user posted an image on the website 4Chan of an architecturally unsettling room -- tinted yellow with fluorescent lights, patterned wallpaper, ceiling tiles and gray carpet. People wrote horror stories online about the picture, which led to the detailed lore of the Backrooms, a labyrinth of eerie spaces accessible by hidden portals around the world.I love when arrogant but untalented people find out they're completely untalented and that their previous "success" had just been due to connections in the industry. It's got a 78% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which is good, but not as good as Obsession or some other recent horror offerings.
Parsons turned the trend into a popular YouTube series with millions of views when he was 16. And he rooted his creation in documentary-style "found footage," like "The Blair Witch Project." The director used that same on-edge aesthetic for his debut feature, which is set in no-smartphones 1990. Clark, who runs Cap'n Clark's Ottoman Empire, a failing furniture store, stumbles into the Backrooms when he walks through a wall in his building's basement. The confused man tells his therapist, Mary (Renate Reinsve of "Sentimental Value"), who has her own demons, about what the messed-up oddity he's found. And Clark sounds completely insane. "It's like the store just continues, I guess?," he says.
Now, reviews are coming for Backrooms, and while decent enough, they are not sky-high like a few other horror entries this year, including the runaway hit from just two weeks ago, Obsession, which is on its way to make 100x its budget amidst 95% and 94% critic and audience Rotten Tomatoes scores. Backrooms, in contrast, has a 78% Rotten Tomatoes score right now with three dozen reviews in. How does that stack up against the other horror offerings of the year? Here's the list of major releases: Obsession -- 95% critic scoreUnd so weiter. Eh. I'll see it on streaming. Either way, The Marzipan and Gorget will drop to #3 in just its second weekend. Last week, I mentioned that I would put up a thread for older/less-known movie recommendations. Please consider this that thread! No corporate slop. Movies from an earlier, less stupid era, or smaller/unnoticed movies that people might have missed. Oh: Question for y'all. I tried to watch Spider-Noir but I don't see any way to choose the "Authentic Black and White" version. I get a title screen that tells me I can select this, "Below," but there's nothing "below" for me to click on. The "True-Hue color" version looks decent and I'd probably watch a lot of it in color anyway but I'm cheesed that I don't have the option to watch in B&W as promised. Can you help a blogger out? What am I missing?

Hokum -- 88% critic score
We Bury the Dead -- 88% critic score

It's Hollywoke.
I warned everybody last year when they were crowing DEI IS DEAD, that no, it wasn't, all of this stuff, movies and video games, have a long, LONG pipeline of 4-6 YEARS.
All the stuff coming out now was approved in the ~2021-2022 era, when Democrats thought they'd won and lost their freaking minds spiking the football from their perceived win.
There's more woke nonsense coming.
They haven't learned, they think they can just dial it back a LITTLE and con the rubes.

Hollywood doesn't care about making good movies often now. Hence Matt Damon on Odysseus.
Imagine taking the case of The Return and just having it focused on more of The Odyssey. It would like be a great movie and make a ton of money

Worst movie I've seen this year: -- or perhaps any year -- was "The Wacky World of Dr. Morgus" from 1962. Starring "Dr. Morgus," the late-night horror-film TV host from New Orleans in the 1960s.
God, it was horrible beyond belief. The Morgus character is supremely ugly, the "jokes" are non-existent, nothing about it is even remotely funny, scenes go on forever for no reason, the acting is Z-grade,most of the dialogue was improv, and the plot is ludicrous and flimsy.
Not all "indies" are good.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wacky_World_of_Dr._Morgus
nly two tings about it were: The girl Dr, Morgushas hypnitized was kinda cute, and the actor playing the reporter was halfway decent -- but he seemed like he was in a different movie.
Ended up being a spy spoof, similar to "The Mouse That Roared," about an imaginary tiny European cuntry trying to use dr. Morgus' invention to invade America,
Avoid at all costs.

Every once in a long while, a thriller or Twilight Zone thriller will actually conjure up an ending that does make sense and does answer all of your questions. And that will become an instant classic.
*******
"Three Body Problem" actually did that. Admittedly, it was using alien technology (Sophons) that was so far advanced, that until it is explained, the effects it could create seemed absolutely impossible, driving physicsts to psychosis and suicide.
I am refering to the Chinese version of this, both the novels and the TV series, NOT the Netflix version.

Worst movie I've seen this year: -- or perhaps any year -- was "The Wacky World of Dr. Morgus" from 1962. Starring "Dr. Morgus," the late-night horror-film TV host from New Orleans in the 1960s.
....
Ended up being a spy spoof, similar to "The Mouse That Roared," about an imaginary tiny European cuntry trying to use dr. Morgus' invention to invade America,
Avoid at all costs.

I'm something of a bad movie buff, they can have charm. I have one around that is about the dangers of drug addiction and the funny part is how clean cut the dregs of society look in the film compared to, well, lots of current day people.
I'll put in a word for the Canadian movie "The Uncanny"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuWy2vcecXY
Its a 'horror' movie about the international conspiracy of Cats to rule the world and has both a star studded cast hamming it up and terrible acting and cat stunt work.
Cat haters and lovers should enjoy it, or the kitties will git ya.

>>>34 Legend of Hell House was a horror from the 70s. Roddy McDowel. Clive ... Reville(?) Creepy.
I've had that in my watch list for like five years!
A couple of movies:
"Cobweb." This is on Pluto, for free, but man are they going to wack you with frequent ad breaks. A well-made movie with Lizzie Caplan in a dramatic role and Anthony "Homelander" Starr as a couple of protective parents who might be... weird. A little kid keeps hearing banging on his wall and his parents keep telling him he's imagining it.
Pretty good! Well made, well shot, well acted. Has a kind of fairy-tale logic to it.
One thing, it's kind of like Weapons in that I really enjoyed the mystery part of it (the first two thirds) and kind of didn't want to see the horror payoff. Like, the mystery part with just the *tease* of something monstrous or strange was better than the payoff of the monstrous or strange. but, as with weapons, the payoff was good enough. Just liked the stuff before the payoff better.

I am watching the Bloodryane trilogy.
They are based on a video game. I've never played it.
I'm pretty sure it used the source as more a jumping off point and didn't bother with the game lore.
The first has Michael Madson and Ben Kingsley.
Cost $20 million; grossed like $3.7.
It's stupid bad. Shot in Romania and using Vlad's castle.
But the dialog is just terrible.
The second jumps to the old West. Has Billy the Kid as the vampire boss who, unexplained, prefers the blood of ... kids.
It's a direct-to-DVD release (like the 3rd).
With better dialog, it could have been good because the plot point of Billy the vampire is new.
I've not seen 3 yet, where she fights Nazis.

I highly recommend two Melissa George movies - Triangle and A Lonely Place To Die.
The first is a horror movie that packs even more of a punch when you realize the story it is telling.
A Lonely Place To Die is a thriller that takes a simple premise of help a kidnapped girl down a mountain and makes the most of the premise.
Also, I absolutely Byzantium and not just because Gemma Arterton is hot like the center of the Sun. It's a vampire movie and has an interesting take on vampirism.

I'm looking forward to 'Obsession' and 'Backrooms' which I've been seeing advertised on Instagram when I escape for a few minutes to not be pissed off.
A lot of the actresses have also been posting videos of 'Scary Movie' so I guess they put out another one of those.

So as far as movies, the one I watched last week was The Island of Lost Souls. A competent squeeze of the important ideas from "Dr Moreau" into 70ish minutes. Maybe even the editor HG Wells needed at the time, unless you really want to read Wells pontificate about atheism and human-nature (Wells thought he was Swift; Wells was not Swift).
The Criterion edition seems to be the best edition, from 2011; although still a little degraded from its original 1932 glory.
As is fairly well known, the later attempts to do Moreau have all been ludicrous failures.
Apparently Beavis and Butthead were designing the script and couldn't take the name "Prendick" seriously so he's "Parker" here.
Best performance is universally agreed to be Charles Laughton's as the Doctor. [Marlon Brando probably would have played the part well too, but his daughter took the quick way out when Brando was in the middle of shooting that remake so the poor man pretty-much went insane as a result.]

When they pull out trailers like that, Spielberg talking directly to camera, it's confirmation that the studios don't think it's going to perform well.
Sudden changes in marketing strategy are evidence of panic.
Not necessarily at the quality of the film, but at the film's potential performance at the box office.
Disclosure Day looks like the kind of movie people say they want from Hollywood, and people are not going to go see it. So Hollywood will have another incentive to not make movies like it anymore. Instead, we will get Super Mario 3.

most mountain remnant languages got driven up into them hills by later movement of peoples. Etruscan was another who moved out of the area, probably, and into North Italy. Back after the fall of Rome the Slavs stated migrating from their origins into that whole area from wherever they originated.

What happened with the Odyssey is one of those peculiar things that happen when leftists gather in groups, and somebody says something really stupid that they all know isn't true, but because its one of the Leftist Golden Idols, nobody dares question it.
There was some kind of casting conversation around Helen of DeTroit that went something like, 'OK, who can play The Most Beautiful Woman In The World', and some true believer said, 'Everybody agreed that Lupita Nyongo was Most Beautiful Woman Ever except for those racist MAGA chuds, so we should cast her'. And nobody else in the room dared disagree. They all knew it wasn't true, none of them at any point actually believed she was MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, but they couldn't object.
A lot of leftist corporate insanity happens this way, where they KNOW it's going to go badly, but none of them are going to individually be on the hook for the failure that results, butif they speak up before it happens, they WOULD be fired and blacklisted forever due to being a Racist MAGA Chud.
That's how this happens.
Media does it too, declaring anybody that disagrees she is literally Most Beautiful Woman Ever is just a stupid racist MAGA incel chud.

Watched that "Bang" on amazon.
It has the guy who played Robocop as the bad guy boss.
I mean, a hitman who has a literal change of heart and that causes a moral change of heart?
LOL, dumb.
At some point, some guy kills some girl in the shower 'cause I guess the unmade bed proved she'd been cheating on him?
And I'm like, "who is this guy? where did he come from? who is she? Why is he mad she's cheating, did he suspect her? cheating with who?"
I may not have been paying close enough attention.
But, the conclusion scene, the big showdown, was actually pretty good. Really solid.

The name Chiwetel is of Igbo (Nigeria) origin, meaning "God is with us". It is a powerful and auspicious name that reflects a sense of divine presence and protection. In Igbo culture, names hold significant meaning, and Chiwetel conveys a deep reverence for the spiritual realm.
Chiwetel symbolizes the presence of God and the power of faith. It represents a belief in the divine and the belief that we are never alone in our journey. The name also symbolizes hope and renewal, suggesting a person who is optimistic and always looking for the positive in life.

Last week, I mentioned that I would put up a thread for older/less-known movie recommendations. Please consider this that thread!
____________________________
Instead of plopping your anklebiter in front of a screen showing a retarded purple dinosaur or four asian kids swinging around kitchen knives....consider this a great recommendation for a kids movie that is actually educational and entertaining as hell:
"The Great Race" -1965- (Tony Curtis, Peter Falk, Jack Lemmon, Natalie Wood, Keenan Wynn, Larry Storch, Ross Martin, Vivian Vance etc.)
It really is family friendly, and most of you likely have seen it. Kids love it. And parents don't consider OD'ing on Ambien after the 250th showing of Barney.

I finished "Hellraiser 5" and "Final Destination 4". They were entertaining but not really scary. They're kind of like zombie movies, not really scary if you pretty much know everyone will die.
Movies I want to see again because they did disturb me - 'Eden Lake', 'The Human Centipede 1' and the french version called 'Inside' - those were pretty nicely f'ed up movies.

As for Spider Noir, I just clicked on it for the first time yesterday to add to my watchlist on Prime (through Roku) and found out about the color/B&W options. I wondered at first how to choose. It wasn't until I clicked to play the first episode that it popped up with the option to watch in black and white or color. It was a simple left/right tile choice for me.

Latest horror movie I saw ( unless you want to put "Alien" in that category which was sort of horror in space ) was "The Haunting" from 1963. I didn't watch it until much later than 1963, however. It was very good.
i watched that for the first time around Halloween. Very good. They always say it's a "psychological horror" which I assumed meant "it's all in their heads."
It's not.
Posted by: ace at May 29, 2026 04:08 PM (1wjle)
The Haunting (1963) is one of my faves.
Turn out the lights and watch it. A great non-gory movie that just wants to creep you out.
The little vignette at the beginning indirectly sets the mood very nicely.
BONUS!!! It's now available in 4K.

"That when Greek stories are retold on a global stage, Greek people are not rendered invisible within them."
Too late, suckers! It's indeed sad that the ancient Greeks had an amazing civilization and culture, and created some of the greatest art and literature and science of all human existence, and without them we probably wouldn't be where we are today.
But they were too white, so fuck them. They must be memory-holed and forgotten -- if not ridiculed and shit on -- to appease failed, feral cultures that happen to have more melanin in their skin.

CBD: Hebrew - the language of the Apiru? - is a clear substrate of the Akkadian noted in the Amarna Tablets. Sadly we don't have clear literature written in Bronze Age Canaanite.
Ugaritic is a different language, if a very similar one, and shared the same mythology.
These weren't spoken in Europe yet however. Canaanite will get exported to western Sicily but much later.

The Minus Man with Owen Wilson is one of those movies that I wouldn't necessarily say is good, but it gets under your skin. Hr is a serial killer with no real pattern or even reason to why he kills and watching him wander into people's lives and cause havoc without ever being overly dangerous, or even really trying to be evil, is very creepy.

Not sure what you mean by Chinese 3BP vs Sino-3BP.
Anyway, sorry you didn't like the version I posted. Different strokes for different folks.
I read the 3 Body Problem novel trilogy twice...and watched the Chinese 3BP series three times. Once by myself, once with my wife, and once with my niece.
As you can see, I'm not exactly unbiased here.
The Netflix version very probably was good. Some of the Youtube clips looked great. But, they were doing a bunch of DEI race swapping in it, so I just decided to give it a pass.
But if you liked, that's cool. Try the novels.

Does anyone think there'll ever be a House of Leaves movie? Probably not. They could play it off as one of the meta levels of the book. I mean, the book discussed a movie about one of itself, and I think a documentary movie about the making of the movie about it. I don't know how good it could be. MZD is an acquired taste.

Literally just a cheap rented office that the occupants had just moved out of.
Spaces that someone has just moved out of are creepy. And the awful white balance of circa-2003 digital cameras is the cherry on top for making the original photo even creepier.
Also it'll be nice to see Cheezwhiz Eekamouse in something where he's not threatening Nathan Fillion.

"Indecent" (1932) A rough take on 'Vanity Fair.' Myrna Loy in very sheer wardrobe. Her accumulating sins gradually run her through one of those 'Faces Of Meth' deterioration sequences. Geez, she's way tall in this one. Or the rest of the cast is short.

Not horror but something I enjoyed a lot recently was the series "Scrubs" streaming on Hulu.
The series really holds up with a few good laughs per episode.
Seasons 1-8 are excellent with the good and satisfying ending.
Season 9 is a pile o'poo because two of the main actors left and just pop in for guest shots. It destroyed the shows Chemistry.
Season 10 is new and continues the same characters back together after 15 years or so. Great chemistry still. some good laughs. It pretty much ret-cons all of the stuff in Season 9 so that's mostly good.
Give it a rewatch. It's fun. Or give it a test drive if you've never seen it.

Re: the Greeks.
Ehh, sorry, guys, but you are not the same people as the ones who built the Acropolis and gave us the titans of philosophy and figured in epics like The Odyssey.
You're pretty much the example of westerners' fear about the decline of our civilization yet again. We fear that we're repeating the ancient classical civilizations that became crappy Middle Eastern and European commie shit-holes.
No one knows what a "Greek" is now. It's not a minority, it's not a recognizable identity. Greek actors, Greek singers, Greek designers, how would I recognize one except by their last name?
I do think it's kind of fun that Greeks are spitting on woke Hollywood, but I can't much defend casting Genuine Greeks except on the basis that you probably look the part more than Ellen Page and Lupita N'Yongo.

There was an Exircist parody with Leslie Nielson and Linda Blair. Repossessed. It was horrible, but the breasts were good.

Ace, you like weird unexplainable stuff, you should watch the series FROM, Pluribus, and Severance. From is made by the Lost creators and I love it and expect nothing to be resolved, ever. The other two are just as excellent.

Not horror but something I enjoyed a lot recently was the series "Scrubs" streaming on Hulu.

That's a good series. John C. McGinley as Dr. Cox--and Krista Miller as his ex-wife--are standouts. The main characters are great, and so is Neil Flynn as the "The Janitor".

Seeing alexthechick again made me think of The Descent (hi, alex!), which I remember she really enjoyed, as I did. Incredibly creepy flik. Too bad that Neil Marshall blew his talent wad early and became a hack.
Of course there's always Evil Dead II, THE GREATEST FILM EVER MADE BY MAN. Raimi had the same problem as Marshall, blowing his talent wad early, although it took him longer.

"Between those two movies, the catgirl in "Lost Souls", and Tarzan and Jane practically doin' it in the water I can't believe any voters at the time wanted a Hayes Code."
I find it 100X more arousing to watch Lillian Roth dance fully dressed, than to see Sydney Sweeney's butthole fully exposed on "Euphoria." The pre-code movies were titillating without being downright gross and degrading.

A supernatural movie that freaked the shyte out of me was The Innocents. It's based on Henry James's Turn of the Screw. I never knew why that novella was supposed to be so scary until I saw the movie.
WOW, that is psychological horror. It ends with a big question mark as to just how bad things were and who was the most twisted -- barring actual ghostly intervention in human affairs.

Without spoiling too much, you become a vampire through a ritual, not being turned. The way feeding is accomplished is interesting as well, a long fingernail is used to puncture the throat, then feeding.
It also has a world and rules that exist but are not fully explained, which I like. The people involved know the rules and act accordingly and the viewer can then put it together.

I'm enjoying "Widow's Bay" which is a horror series on Apple.
Slow burn start but builds nicely to the 4th episode which is a knockout.
I was hoping they'd keep up the craziness but they took a step back so we'll see.
Anyway, give it a look.

Remember that "anti-woke" YouTubers like Gore and Critical Drinker glazed (as the kids say) the Super Mario Bros sequel, which is pretty f*cking terrible and made significantly less than its predecessor, because it wasn't made by Disney and Grace Randolph hated it.

An Trump-inspired immigration win you may have forgotten about from a few months ago:
Former Des Moines Public Schools (DMPS) Superintendent Ian Roberts was sentenced Friday to two years in prison after pleading guilty to federal immigration and weapons charges.
Imagine things in your own country are SO bad, you willingly choose prison here instead of going home. I bet if he did go home, the bad guys would find him
It wasn’t his choice. The Feds could have offered him the chance to plead and deport, but this was too much publicity for them. So of course us taxpayers get to flip the bill for his incarceration. Total waste of money.
Exactly. I'd be 100% ok if he just got deported and saved us the 40k/year it costs to house an inmate at a federal pen. This is just about the perp walk.
So guilty by black because Trumps family and Epsteins friends illegal immigrant violations seem to go unpunished.

A favorite of mine.... that I never watch. Carnival of Souls by Herk Harvey from 1962. Filmed on a shoestring budget, horrible acting performances, but the setting at the Saltair Pavilion is one of the greatest creepy locations ever.

Na Hong-jin's previous film, The Wailing, sounds really interesting and is apparently really good. And it was on Prime.
I put it on my watchlist. I went back like three days later and it was gone from the platform.

I guess these aren't really small films, but they feel that way to me because I saw them in the Grandview Theater, which was Columbus's arthouse venue at the time. First is Searching for Bobby Fischer about a child chess prodigy. The child actor has very disturbing eyes, but in a good way. The second is Shallow Grave, which is one of those movies where they almost smack you in the face with clues, but you miss them all anyway.

I just checked, and there were some other remakes or movies inspired by The Turn of the Screw, but:
"Most critics still regard The Innocents as the definitive adaptation because it captures the novella's central ambiguity. Many later versions lean more heavily toward one explanation or the other, whereas The Innocents leaves the question hauntingly unresolved."

Be sure to watch the French original, and not the terrible American remake.
It concerns a pregnant women alone on Christmas Eve when a psychotic woman shows up wanting to take her baby.

"where's the fun in that?"
Two tips on how to have fun watching movies:
- Don't pay to watch them. That puts a floor under your level of disappointment.
- Enjoy them simply for what's on the screen, and fret less about how much you hate director A, actor B, and production company C. Since you didn't put money in their pocket, (see tip 1,) then who cares how much you hate them.

The super-indie filmmakers are drinking Hollywood's milkshake because they write interesting stories that draw people in, something Hollywood has forgotten all about. This is how a youtuber puts together a horror movie a complete shoestring and blows an expensive Disney anti-Star Wars VFX AI piece of slop out of the water, especially on ROI. It's not because the audience is misogynist, or homophobic, or bigoted, or whatever like Disney claims when one of the projects flop, it's because Disney keeps making shit and people are starving for non-shit entertainment.

I'm beginning to think I like crappy movies. One of my favorites is from 1988:
"The Seventh Sign" (Demi Moore, Michael Biehn, Jürgen Prochnow)
It's not fantastic, but the premise was original. The story was it's strength. They lost some points on execution. It's about the Second Coming. And, throughout the movie they put a modern twist on the Seven Seals from the book of Revelation. It all circles around a death sentence placed on a kid with Downs Syndrome.

Posted by: uncouth jay marks at May 29, 2026 04:49 PM (uc/1V)
I liked that one! It maybe should have ended a bit sooner (felt a little long), but I did enjoy it. The little girl who plays Abigail does a nice job.
Abigail: I'm sorry.
Woman: For what?
Abigail: For what's getting ready to happen to you.

Wasn't supposed to be a good Korean show where it is set in medieval korea/china with zombie. Like the Kingdom, or something?

Kingdom is awesome. A really interesting and creative twist to the zombie genre.

Earlier today on a "classic rock" station I head the old 1985 "Just A Gigolo / I Ain't Got Nobody" David Lee Roth song.
Holds up pretty good (I remember the music video had babes in swimsuits) ... and he so much was trying to sound like Satchmo.

I watched a movie produced 20 years ago the other night, "The Matador," with Pierce Brosnan and Greg Kinnear. Highly entertaining in a way simply impossible to pull off today. It occurred to me that Hollywood started dying around 2010. It's like pod people took over after that.

My most consistent nightmare is returning to basic training at 61, trying to find a clean and wrinkle-free uniform in my wall locker while hearing the drill sergeant's heel taps on his mirror-shined jump boots.

Hollywood is mostly garbage. Just like these sportsball leagues, - the focus is self-perpetuation. Sell tickets. I don't give any of these people a fucking dime yet they're still millionaires and billionaires.

I have recurring dream themes a lot. One, back in the service, but I am still in BDUs, and/or with a full beard.
Another, which distresses me more, is trying to contact my wife via phone as I navigate some kind of crazy huge mall, or airport, and all the things go wrong, and if I don't get a hold of her, things will go badly.
I no longer have the dreams where I go to class and have to take the final, despite having never been in class.

I started watching The Expanse. So far a really great, high quality production. Into season 3 now which is kinda a shift in gears to the nonstop kickass action of the first 2 seasons.

Excellent movie about a very unpleasant topic.

Seconded. The acting was first rate. That Olsen chick actually did an excellent job. And the character actors were all great.

Thanks. Only recently became a big fan of Taylor Sheridan (damn, that dude is proflic!) who wrote and directed this movie I'd not previously heard of.

Such a good movie, I looked up why it hadn't gotten much "press"... seems it was caught up in the Harvey Weinstein fallout.
I'm a prolific reader of AoS daily, rarely a poster... so kinda honored the CBD seconded my post!

Husband and i are not movie watchers. Mostly you are giving your hard earned money to people who hate you and who want to destroy our country.
We prefer having awesome sex. Much more satisfing than watching shit on tv.

I highly recommend "OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies" and the follow up movie. Hilarious anti-DEI spy movies.

Season 10 is new and continues the same characters back together after 15 years or so. Great chemistry still. some good laughs. It pretty much ret-cons all of the stuff in Season 9 so that's mostly good.
Give it a rewatch. It's fun. Or give it a test drive if you've never seen it.

I enjoyed Season 10/2026 Season 1. I'm currently going back to rewatch the original series after seeing it back when it was new. I'd forgotten Brendan Fraser was a guest star in the first season - I thought he came later.

The TV show does some necessary changes to the early books - the first season would have been really slow if they did a straight adaptation of the first book, but overall the series was pretty faithful to the material.

For Spider Noir, choose an episode, click on it and you will see a Tru Color panel on the left and Black and White on the right. Just use your controller's left and right arrows to move from one to the other and click on it to open. I had the same problem last night. It's so simple it's not obvious.

"These movies (and books and stories) are all journey, no destination."
The recent sleeper hit The Housemaid DEFINITELY qualifies as a thriller worth watching even if a) the plot unravels at least a little if you think it through and b) we don't get to see nearly enough of Sydney Sweeney in all her nude glory.

Had no idea this was a Taylor Sheridan movie; i generally like Jeremy Renner and was slightly surprised to see another marvel Star in it with Olson so I gave it a watch and it was excellent. One of the best rando movies i've picked off Amazon prime. The shootout with the crooked security team was absolutely brutal. yeah, I finally have Paramount plus and i keep telling myself to watch yellowstone; may actually do it now.

I'd definitely prefer having awesome sex but my wife only remembers i exist when she has sh*t work to be done so I only get to watch movies. Ah well.
