The Fabelmans is so good!Fun fact, I think Spielberg is responsible for the mother son stuff or at least it's what drew him to the movie and if you see the Fabelmans you'll understand why! Uh oh!

I have Fabelmans in sight but saving it for like, when I'm close to finishing his filmography! Apparently it recontextualize a bit Spielberg's past filmography so it should be interesting.Fun fact, I think Spielberg is responsible for the mother son stuff or at least it's what drew him to the movie and if you see the Fabelmans you'll understand why!

Yeah saw one of those heh.the shitposts pointing out speilberg's mom has the same hairstyle as cate blanchett in crystal skull were very funny
yeah lolYeah saw one of those heh.
Hey I'm open to listening whyCouldn't stand The Post though. Sorry.
I don't know. Maybe I should give it another shot. I saw it in theaters and it's been a few years. What I remember thinking was despite being beautifully shot and well acted, it was dramatically inert. The big moment with Meryl Streep made me think "Oh good job Meryl Streep" and not "Oh shit, they're gonna publish! Woah!" I was kind of at a distance the whole time. That was just my experience. Hard to explain why.Hey I'm open to listening why
The Fabelmans was one interesting movie… I liked the movie making parts, the main story just didn’t work for me. It might have worked as a straight auto-biopic, but as fiction it didn’t imo. David Lynch’s scene was fun.Fun fact, I think Spielberg is responsible for the mother son stuff or at least it's what drew him to the movie and if you see the Fabelmans you'll understand why! Uh oh!
War of the World fucked me up as a kid lmao.THOSE WHO SPIELBERG FURTHER.
War of the Worlds (2005)
So, eh, the sense of spectacle and dread in this is unmatched. Lots of varied setpieces for a movie under 2 hours and one of my favorite Tom Cruise performances (him being a rude guy essentially, and still he has his tender moments as the movie progresses). Still, I don't think the ending sticks the landing fully. The son is also kind of an annoying guy, why would you put so much trouble upon your parents by trying to get away and play hero while an invasion with enemies you don't know the weaknesses of is going on. Also poor little girl, what's with this and Empire of the Sun upon putting children through the psychological wringer.
I suppose Ray killed the old man too? In vain at that. The girl put a bandana on her eyes but how certain is it she actually knew that's what he was going to do and just caved into denial
the son sucks ass but the set pieces are phenomenal. I remember seeing this in theaters and white-knuckling my chair multiple times.THOSE WHO SPIELBERG FURTHER.

Well for me I just was mind-blown multiple times to a point I screamed WOA at night in my little room (at 11 PM no less).the son sucks ass but the set pieces are phenomenal. I remember seeing this in theaters and white-knuckling my chair multiple times.
The creative decision to expressly evoke 9/11 during the first tripod emergence scene was a bit controversial at the time. It’s obviously effective, cuz as someone who was a high school junior when the towers fell, it elicited a deep sense of horror that I wasn’t anticipating.Well for me I just was mind-blown multiple times to a point I screamed WOA at night in my little room (at 11 PM no less).
Ah shit I forgot he was in this. Zeal to watch The Fabelmans: renewed!David Lynch
You can safely watch just that scene, it's not really dependent on the storyAh shit I forgot he was in this. Zeal to watch The Fabelmans: renewed!
Oh word? That might be even better lol. If my wife doesn't want to watch it, I may do just thatYou can safely watch just that scene, it's not really dependent on the story

He directed House? I still haven't seen that oneNobuhiko Obayashi playing John Ford in Labyrinth of Cinema>>>>>David Lynch playing John Ford in The Fablemans.
Its his final film, also one of the best films ever made. I always recommend people to watch more Obayashi movies. Incredible filmography spanning 6 decadesHe directed House? I still haven't seen that one
I doubt this is wrong. But I just wanna say I think David Lynch is a wonderful manNobuhiko Obayashi playing John Ford in Labyrinth of Cinema>>>>>David Lynch playing John Ford in The Fablemans.

“GET REAL”love quoting his iphone video

I should!Tonight I am watching the new Haunted Mansion and I am really excited for it! The cast seems really fun. I would see anything LaKeith Stanfield was in. And he’s acting alongside…Danny DeVito?! @Yamanoi , you seen this yet? On Disney+ as of today
Sorry, giant list incoming. I'm sure there's something in this list you'd enjoy.The October movie marathon theme this year is foreign (non-English) horror and I am open to suggestions.
I'll second @Phosphorescent Skeleton's rec of Cure. Also, does Gojira 1954 count as horror, or is that too much of a stretch lolThe October movie marathon theme this year is foreign (non-English) horror and I am open to suggestions.
The original Godzilla really focuses on the horror and human costs of godzilla's attacks, but Godzilla vs Hedorah is the one I'd unreservedly call horror.Cure is one we've watched already actually, love it. Thanks for the list @Phosphorescent Skeleton, looks good! We'll go through it later and I'll let you know what gets added to the list.
I'm unsure if Godzilla will fall into this list but I'm open to the elevator pitch on that one.
throw Pulse (Kairo) and Let the Right One In on the pileCure is one we've watched already actually, love it. Thanks for the list @Phosphorescent Skeleton, looks good! We'll go through it later and I'll let you know what gets added to the list.

After further consultation amongst the panel of experts, we have concluded that The Exorcist is essentially "land Jaws"Watched The Exorcist last night. Wife had been hyping it up as the scariest movie of all time, though I think we both came away underwhelmed. She's usually scared shitless of anything remotely creepy, to the point where she'll start clutching me during something like A Haunting In Venice, but that didn't really happen during this one. I don't get scared during horror movies, which is why she loves watching them with me, although I feel like that's something of a skill issue on my end. Decent movie otherwise, I guess? It came across to me as kind of cheesy, though I guess that's because it gets parodied so much that I had trouble taking it seriously.

Nice, also got a screening lined up for this on Sunday. Might be the first film I've seen in the cinema with a scheduled interval so that should be interesting.Got my tickets for Killers of the Flower Moon Sunday. Might throw a House rep screening in there on Saturday night just for fun.
I saw The Thing's 4K restoration on the big screen a few months back - you're in for a treat. It looks phenomenal.Decided to watch Friday The 13th for the first time last Friday (for obvious reasons). Hadn't seen it before but I had no idea it was so.... boring? There are very long periods where nothing happens, and I didn't feel it did well at all in trying to build up any tension. Even for the genre, the characters might well have been 2D cardboard cutouts. Obviously revered for doing what it did first but not a lot about it I can recommend.

I also have a screening of The Thing planned next week - one of my favourite ever films, can't wait to see it on the big screen.
I'm not sure - I'm in the UK so potentially could just be a thing here but when I booked it in my local Vue it mentions there'll be a 15 minute intervalI saw The Thing's 4K restoration on the big screen a few months back - you're in for a treat. It looks phenomenal.
I didn't realize Killers of the Flower Moon had an intermission! Is this an across-the-board thing?
Lucky you. I don't think that's going to be the case here in the States. I'm going to have to regulate my fluid intake the morning of.I'm not sure - I'm in the UK so potentially could just be a thing here but when I booked it in my local Vue it mentions there'll be a 15 minute interval
