i'm lookling for some 80's nostalgia, I never seen Happy Birthday To Me, haven't really watched The Toxic Avenger.

night of the comet is crack rock :banderas:



night of the comet
Happy Birthday To Me
The Toxic Avenger


Keeping it a bean, the majority of 80s horror had a healthy dose of campy cheesiness to them.

That gun easter egg was about the only thing I had a problem with in the movie. In the original canon, that shyt belonged to a pirate whose crew betrayed him over spoils. He wound up working WITH the Predator to take out the pirates until they were the last two standing, but he got shot before they could duel. He gives the gun to the predator as he's dying. So I didn't like the way they nerfed and changed that character to get the gun callback in. But I loved the movie otherwise and that's a minor complaint.
Was that pirate stuff movie canon or from the books/comics canon?

It’s comic canon, but that comic was pretty much made to answer the question of how that gun got into the movies. For comic geeks like me, the answer to where that gun came from has been locked in for 20+ years before this retcon and it made the ending of predator 2 even better since that gun was a gift from a worthy warrior to the predators before they gave it back.

Side note: 90’s dark horse comics based on horror properties are pretty great. Their puppet master stuff was amazing and they had a mini-series with the predator going after killers in prison that I remember legit scaring a younger me…I don’t think I ever finished it.

Ended up catching this one last night and enjoyed it a lot. Crazy to see Rebecca Hall in these twisted roles as of late, but she’s been killing it. Movie is less horror, and more of a psychological thriller - while still unsettling as hell throughout. Reminded me of Repulsion with some of its themes and the last act, while wild, was a lot easier to digest in comparison to the climax in Alex Garland’s Men.

Tim Roth is a nice man in general and they made him downright menacing in this. Going to be a bit of an adjustment period seeing him on She-Hulk next week. :pachaha:

The tension, the camera work, and overall delivery by Hall during that nine minute monologue was something special. The way the background darkened up as she progressed further and further into speaking on her traumatic past was chef’s kiss.

The ending turned out to be ambiguous, but I like to believe that Maggie lost her sanity and is probably in a mental institution out yonder. The angelic white haze during the final sequence and how everything was going right for Maggie, even down to the way her daughter dressed makes me believe so.

Definitely one of my favorite films of the year.

Thanks, Think I might track down some of the Predator comics.

I was going to watch Resurrection this weekend and then instead ended up watching something that caught my eye because of how stupid the premise was: The Haunting of Sharon Tate.

Sounds like I should've watched Resurrection.

Watched Resident Evil: Rac00n City - was not nearly as bad as people were saying. I actually liked it 4/5.


Netflix. Sandman - episode 1, I don’t know what to make out of this yet :francis:
Netflix - the reigning champion of the super sloooow dark moody atmospheric slow burns,

post pandemic sudden onset adult attention deficit disorder is what someone told me that I have
:mjlol: :mjlol:
Strangers on the commuter train trying to diagnose me bc they see me watching horror movies on my iPad :laff:I am not that interesting- violating my space like that. The audacity.
:mjtf:
There’s only 2-3 things I need to do on 1.5 hour trip - sleep, listen to music, read or watch my downloads . Why are people so uncomfortable with silence? Next time they ask, I’m going to tell them that I’m not watching a movie about a commuter train serial killer who abducts people from commuter parking lots
:mjtf:
