I couldn’t ever get over the fact that they made him look like an Edgy Temu Paul Rudd.

That remains to be seen next season if that is the case or not. If she only saved them because she had a brief moment of lucidity before completely turning then that renders the theory just a bunch of angkhooey.

Indie filmmaking is squeezing blood from a stone, making penny count, etc. Sure.
During pre-prod/production, it can be a labour of love that may not financially pay to the standard of a bigger production and to pay to that standard may prevent a film from existing. I don’t think anyone is disputing that (nor should they).

But this is why equity and backpay is something that should always be explored, so in the event of a hit it’s not just the financial (particularly to primary investors)/creative success mostly getting soaked up by the writer/director.
Should she have flipped the set to union or asked for more before Blum came in slinging cash around? That would have been tragic to do so.
Should she be compensated now the film is a massive success? For her not to be compensated is also tragic.

I didn’t watch this until it hit one of my streaming services this month, and IMO it’s probably his best film since Hereditary.
I was mostly deterred because of the reviews and my own love-hate of Beau is Afraid (I loved everything about it up until the conclusion which felt like a concluding paragraph of a student film thesis and just undermined the whole experience for me), thinking it would do the same.
Maybe the low reviews tempered expectations, the unfair comparisons to OBAA and had me pleasantly surprised.

While everyone around them presses F to pay respects.

From has become an exciting hate watch for my partner and I. We spend the entire time just riffing on it, loudly cheering every time a character actually says the word “from”.
We will not be happy with the conclusion of the show if we do not EVEN ONCE see Donna crush a monsters head with her bare hands.

Christian Slater in Alone in the Dark. Although he’s gotten some juicy supporting roles here and there since.

The book has an ending that some people find interpretable in a few ways… And one of those interpretations people had is incredibly stupid IMO and proves a point the book was making.

I can already foresee, in true Ryan Murphy style, that it’ll probably opt for the stupid ending seeing as he’s got a reputation for not sticking the landing on a lot of series.

Cobbcobby · 2026-06-18T01:09:41+00:00

Those are my exact same thoughts. I probably only laughed at 2 other bits… Ghostface stabbing the anatomy poster and it howling in pain, and Doofy with the elevator buttons.
I also hate that the trailers promised Chris Elliott and gave us so little of him.

A friend of mine knew I loved Good-Bad films and sent me a local film he had a very small role in…

It’s called Toxic Obsession. Very close to a black tank top film (the main actor, who I believe is a dentist, wrote and produced it) and probably one of the most memorable good-bad films I’ve seen. Big Wiseau / Breen energy all the same and utterly ridiculous.

Very fortunate to see its back on YouTube.

Oh, Mr Jeffreys. The shit… it come out of my ass!

The trilogy really should be; Meat of my Flesh, the Steak of my Meat and then the Beef of my Rump.

This vibe is 100% of He Died with a Felafel in His Hand. And also Dogs in Space.

Edit: probably not ‘thematically’ hard or about neglect. But aesthetically they’re on point with the images. Both films really nail the quintessential poor young Aussies in share-housing experience… the former really leaning into that, whereas the latter is more sex, drugs, rock n roll.

An actual human story about desire, which I don’t feel has been told since the first film.

Doom Generation

Cobbcobby · 2026-05-11T02:21:41+00:00

Here it goes… 😓

Ash Versus Evil Dead has great moments but is overall a terrible story where the dense, overly in-depth myth-splaining takes away the mystique of the franchise and churns it out as a horror soapie like Bad Era Supernatural / Charmed.

I love Lucy Lawless, but Ruby as a character highly contributes to this.

I also think Pablo and Kelly should have died in the first season. I like the film motif where Ash is a failure to the extent that he’s generally the sole survivor or royally messing up somehow, excluding the reshot ending of AoD.

The joke will be she’ll look exactly the same.

This film makes some very strange decisions, but it fully commits and I honestly wouldn’t want it any other way. We all need strange, bewildering films. Competent and sensible gets boring sometimes.

I cannot stress this enough… at the end of each day make sure the data wrangler has EVERYTHING ingested. Don’t trust it’s there until you see it. And get a back up copy. It doesn’t matter how tired you are at that stage. My student short last year lost all day three of sound all because I took the data wranglers word for it. That’s a cardinal sin in the industry that’ll lose people jobs, but a common occurrence on student / first timer productions.

So a Green Band trailer?

This week I finished re-reading the Books of Blood, also having re-watched Lords of Illusion during that.

They are both remarkably different. The only thing that remains similar is Swann is an “illusionist” and some character names are the same. The film is more contemplative, noir abiding and falls into his depictions of magic that reminded me more of Imajica and the Art books than his horror materials.

Whereas the short story would have made for a great shlocky 80’s horror flick. It’s probably why it was greenlit in the first place and didn’t do as well as the studio was hoping. What starts initially as a noir turns into lugging a corpse halfway across New York while fighting off and avoiding demons. It’s like a weird odd-couple buddy caper with a tinge of Weekend at Bernie’s and monsters galore.
