I reeeeeeaalllly want to see this, but I’ll probably be going by myself so I don’t know when I’ll be able to go.

saw HALLOWEEN 18 over the weekend. It was ok...nothing special. I agree that it was fairly tension free, but I still liked where the story went in general. Evil Loomis was stupid as hell, but he had a pretty good death at least.

Terrible movie was terrible.

Hereditary

Man, this did not play out how I expected from the trailers.. pretty much from the car scene onward. Some twists were more obvious (doormat), but man, this movie gets so fucked up after the book burning. Still processing it, but feel like I'll be thinking about this one for a long time to come

Rewind This!

Nice tribute to VHS and those who continue clinging to the dead rotting corpse of a format. Don't get me wrong. I love physical media and would love to see a return to video stores. But VHS as a whole, save for the cool cover art, isn't something I have a burning desire to revisit.

It's so good. The only thing that didn't work for me was how mom got into the treehouse. Just...don't show it.

Funny you mention that specific bit, I remember that shot in the trailer and thought it looked freaky, was waiting for it every time they showed those treehouse shots. But seeing in the context of the movie at that point.. yeah.

A Halloween of unseen sequels:


Exorcist 3 - Always heard people say this was great, and boy was it. And weird as fuuuuuck. The thing I really was blown away by was the opening 20 minutes or so and the dialog. It's some of my favorite dialog in a movie, easy. It doesn't help that George C Scott is incredible. Also, John Thompson? Patrick Ewing as an angel? Samuel L Jackson as a blind beggar in heaven? What a fucking weird movie.



Halloween 3: Season of the Witch - I knew this was supposed to start a Halloween anthology series, so no Meyers...but I did expect witches. I did not expect a weird robot assassin movie and an Irish novelty magnate that stole Stonehenge for...some reason. I have no fucking idea what was going on in this movie, but it was a lot of fun. The Shamrock tune is stuck in my head forever now.

Halloween 3 is great!

Exorcist 3 is fucked up. Didnt know about those cameos.

Halloween 3 failing and the real Halloween 4 script being rejected is why Carpenter bailed out for ages.


I don't blame him.

[Matt]

what was the 'real' HALLOWEEN 4 script? Did it ever get repurposed?

Bohemian Rhapsody.

Definitely suffers from biopic-syndrome - my most hated of all sub-genres. There are times where you feel like you're watching Walk Hard, minus the irony. Right down to the disapproving father (Seriously, this is still a trope?!) and the switch-boards during Live Aid that isn't a success... until Queen starts playing!?! But the soundtrack is aces, of course. My lovely love wife and I played our Queen compilation on the drive home.

Make no mistake, this is a Bryan Singer film. Right down to his Outsider theme and there are times where you see how he directs the Hell out of this (the press conference scene and all the on-stage performances), and Rami Malek tries his damndest to make it work. Both failed.

As many feared, the real culprit here is the fact the surviving Queen members had final say on everything. It portrays them as long-suffering choir boys who put up with Freddy's wacky antics. Nobody is expecting a big-budgeted dramatization to be 100% factual. But the details they go with come across as their getting a jab in on Mercury more than anything else (Mercury quits the band to start a solo career, fails miserably and comes crawling back begging to get back together - Nope, never happened).

The more I think about it, the more I fucking hated this. But again, at least the music is great(?)
