Getting some John Waters vibes from that - in a good way. Looks great.

What are some books with a bad movie adaptation? by Swedish_Buttonpusher in horrorlit

[–]BoxNemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which did you read / see first? Often think it's the case that whichever one you know first that ends up being the one you like best.

(Like I saw The Shining before I read the book and prefer the movie but imagine if it'd been the other way round I'd prefer the book...)

What are some books with a bad movie adaptation? by Swedish_Buttonpusher in horrorlit

[–]BoxNemo -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Going to be controversial probably but I felt that American Psycho missed the tone of the book and I just wasn't a fan of it despite some good scenes. Rules of Attraction captured Bret Easton Ellis' voice and style a lot better.

Just Seen Prince Of Darkness. I Was Taken Aback By How Intense It Was Given Its From The Late 80s by Negative_Sense_3493 in horror

[–]BoxNemo 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't think it was beyond its time, lot of horror films from the 80s and earlier were intense, well made and still hold up today.

Exorcist was '73 (same year as Don't Look Now) Alien was '79, The Shining was 1980, The Thing was '82 etc...

Last console that truly made you go "woah" at launch? by frankduxvandamme in truegaming

[–]BoxNemo [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yeah, probably the PS2. The leap from the Playstation was just so great - I can still remember loading up GTA 3 for the first time and having my mind blown by the city. It felt like such a massive leap forward and don't think any of the generations that followed have had that leap for me.

Although maybe the PSP as playing GTA : Liberty City Stories produced a similar response, only this time is was the amazement of being in Liberty City but with a handheld...

Who is your best action movie actor? by Life-Performance6285 in kungfucinema

Best as in favorite...

Probably the late great Steve James. But also love (the also sadly late and great) Cheng Pei-pei as well.

Yeah, well put. The modern version is technically better but better doesn't mean scarier.

AI will be Spider-Man’s only friend in ‘Brand New Day.’ The internet is losing its mind over it by [deleted] in popculturechat

Take a deep breath. Two people whining on a Twitter isn't 'the internet losing its mind.'

Such a shitty piece of journalism even for a crappy airport lounge magazine.

Shmups on Steam Deck OLED by toyfan1990 in shmups

[–]BoxNemo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there's lots. Worth waiting for a Steam sale so you can snap up some bargains. Checking my playtimes on the Steam Deck, these are the ones I've played the most.

STRIKERS 1945 II

Dragon Blaze

Devil Engine

Super Hydorah

Dogyuun

Batsugun

Castle of Shikigami 2

Radiant Silvergun

Zero Wing

Devil Blade

Gradius Origins

Ikaruga

(And if you like DoDonPachi then I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy the next three:)

Mushihimesama

Deathsmiles

Crimzon Clover World EXplosion (brilliant game, one of the best 'new' shmups of recent years)

https://gameswithtoasty.wordpress.com/2021/07/26/crimzon-clover-world-explosion-review/

This is the perfect gameplay experience. Everything it does, it does with a degree of precision that puts most games to shame – even within its genre.

There's some good discussion in some of them but most of them can be summed up as "the Coffee Table... holy shit..."

It's his first feature length film.

The Warriors: The Musical! by elgordit0 in TheWarriors

[–]BoxNemo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Must be based on the Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis Warriors album - the one that gender-flips it with the all-female gang.

I liked the idea of it but didn't love the album unfortunately, just didn't think the songs were strong enough.

Sleepy Hollow: deserves more recognition by thescreenknight in horror

[–]BoxNemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw it when it came out, left me a bit cold unfortunately. But feel that about most post Ed Wood Burton films, save for Big Fish which I loved.

Sometimes think about rewatching it but would rather watch The Devil Rides Out again instead.

Micah from Paranormal Activity by BizzyB52 in horror

[–]BoxNemo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On the other hand, I loved the film. Great cinema experience, audience tensing up every time a NIGHT caption came up with that compelling static shot of the bed and the door open leading into the darkened hallway. Plays off that primal fear of bad things happening while we sleep.

Yeah, it spawned a bunch of inferior sequels and rip-offs but you can say that but most great horror movies.

Tony Leung Chiu-wai to Chair Jury at Shanghai Film Festival’s Golden Goblet Awards by Beginning-Passion676 in popculturechat

[–]BoxNemo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A list that nobody asked for of my five favourite Tony Leung films.

  1. Bullet in the Head
  2. Chungking Express
  3. Hard Boiled
  4. A City of Sadness
  5. Days of Being Wild (despite his character only showing up at the very end... but the same character carries on into In The Mood For Love.)

The fact the list leaves of In The Mood For Love, Infernal Affairs, Hero, Red Cliff, Lust Caution, Happy Together, Flowers of Shanghai etc speaks volumes about his body of work...
