Carpenter needs to work with Dean Cundy again. He said recently he wants to direct again but it has to be the right thing....and in the right climate. Says he's too old to go to Antartica again so that ain't happening.
That's from that movie, The Thing?? Where they worked together ?

They did all his early stuff so yeah the thing Halloween the fog big trouble in little China, escape from New York.

Also did Halloween 2 and Halloween 3 even though carpenter didn’t direct those. He just knows how to make a movie look gorgeous. He still works too. Go on IMDb and just look at the list of shyt he’s done; it’s kinda crazy

And yeah the thing :russ: said he ain’t doing that shyt ever again cause he’s too old.

I watched a few min of it a while back and couldn’t get past the writing lol. Kevin has fallen off from a dialogue standpoint at least in that one

Yea, I agree, but still liked the movie. Granted i listened to the podcast where he freestyled the idea and then i was like “he actually made a movie about that?”:russ:

Speaking of Kevin. Where would THIS fall in the horror category?
Nothing scarier than wicked kids!

12 minutes into Revenge

great camera shots and transitions. The director of this movie already killed it and i usually don't even notice thing like this :ohhh:

No idea why they are so insistent on showing the flat ass of this white bytch for half the movie though :francis:

I know they are trying to build sexual tension to transition to the point of the movie, but damn :stopitslime:

soundtrack is dope though :ehh:
To emphasize the male gaze. It’s a feminist director. It’s supposed to make the audience uncomfortable by lingering on it for too long.

I think we might end up having to play it by ear which ones we watch at the same time and which ones we do solo watches on.
We could still have the separate discussion threads for people to comment/review the movies.

I wanna try to get in on one of these group watches.

October 1st movie reaction: THE FOG

The Good
Adrienne Barbeau's DJ (and voice of the movie) Stevie was the best character in this entire movie and one of my favorite horror movie heroine's period. She was the cohesive unit that held this movie together for me from the smooth tone of her voice while doing the DJ thing to her figuring out there was something wrong with the fog to her turning into a fearful mom to finally her struggling to survive when her lighthouse studio got engulfed by the fog. It is amazing that aside from a few phone call scenes and the scenes with her son she interacted with no other characters and spent nearly the entirety of the movie alone on a single set.

I also loved the look of the film. The way Carpenter used darkness/shadows and space to frame scenes in a way that controlled how the levels of tension would go up and down. And of course the music was great. Nobody can make a synthesizer sound as ominous as John Carpenter.

The Bad
Aside from Barbeau's Stevie none of the other characters had any meat to them. It was a cast full of good actors stuck with shallow characters who it was hard to really give a flip about.

The final act of the movie was bit of a rushed mess with the fog rolling in fast and furious and the primary characters in the movie all finding themselves gathered in a single setting for the final showdown that ultimately ended with a fizzle. It was so underwhelming that the tacked on scene right before the credits felt like something that was done because everyone involved realized how meh the movie had ended.

The Ugly
I don't know if it was budget or what but the fact that there was so much time spent setting up the big town celebration yet the mviie never used that as a backdrop for terror and chaos as this viewer was expecting. The way the movie was isolated to just the few primary character sand the rest of the town was barely acknowledged at all was a major weakness in the film for me
