What Emmanuelle Movie Did You Just Watch?

[Abraham Smashington]

a buddy of mine put it best: It was more fun than the first. He's spot on. This felt like a grownup "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark". The bookeneds were stupid (but the gore was good at the end) but this was the most fun I've had with an anthology in awhile. Lesley and I were just yelling at the tv most of the time like "OH SHIT LOOK BEHIND YOU!" "YOU GONNA DIE!" shit like that.

UPSTREAM COLOR is something else. I'm not sure what I think about it yet, other than Carruth makes challenging movies.

Watched V/H/S/2 again last night with Ceej. He dug it as well. He likes the first more (more horrific) but also agreed that this one is way more fun.

Seeking a Friend For The End of The World

Can we just take a minute and think about how insane it is that a studio bankrolled this? A very good cast, great script, very smart and honest emotionally in a way most studios are afraid of. And pulled no punch at the end. Mothafuckers burnt the fuck up. Glad I watched it, but don't need to do it again.

Here's the thing about it. Focus picked up half the costs, while the other production companies ate the rest.

Universal has such a fucked relationship with Focus, yet they are always willing to mooch off of them come Awards time.

Behind the Candelabra AKA MY CHEEKBONES HURT

Matt Damon was pretty fucking awesome, but Michael Douglas rocked this shit hard.

Probably due to the poppers.

Special shout out to Dan Aykroyd roleplaying Elliot Gould.

This one was not exactly a "fun" one. Everything was still very much a telegraphed experience, predicated on the same gimmickry and panic that it lost all impact after the initial campsite zombonery (which I will admit was hilarious). The found footage gimmick is just too weak to carry thing for a theatrical runtime.

The execution was unbelievably lazy. It's almost as if the spirit of Ti West permeated the runtime (it was not good).

[Abraham Smashington]

hurm. It can't rain all the time.

I can't believe at the very least you didnt' enjoy the "papa" sequence.

Sorry you were so disappointed.

[Abraham Smashington]

I feel as if you put too much credence into the "found footage" shit, and that kills all of it for you. Whereas I look past the stupid "OH MAH GAWD IF I WATCH THESE IN ORDER MY BRAIN WILL BLEED AND I WILL TRY KILL YOU" framework and enjoy these as short stories, which I know defeats the purpose of these flicks but it is what it is.

[Captain Russ]

I was off my face when I watched it (and later posted about it) so it probably didn't exactly enhance my experience.
