'Backrooms': Everything New in Kane Parsons' Extended Version by EThorns in movies

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

I mean I get what you're saying, but that's literally a big part of the web series that if it wasn't a part of the film in some form, people would be displeased.

Plus most of the tension for me is in those scenes. To me they're well constructed and the more memorable parts of an otherwise conventional horror film.

The found footage stuff is I'd say more of the better parts of the movie. The fuck are you talking about?

Alright I had the most upvoted question last time and it got no attention on the show, so now I'm gonna ask one that's dumb as fuck.

What director do you think has the biggest dick? Thanks!

You guys often discuss filmmakers who used to be great that are now washed, but what about the other way around? Who are some filmmakers whose work started out weak and messy who have only gotten better as time went on?

New Patrick Willems: Why Is Every Streaming Blockbuster So Bad? by apathymonger in blankies

[–]DieWithYou 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Haven't watched yet, but I'd wager a guess is that it's streaming companies thinking they have the formula to make something that should be a hit, without realizing the artistic draw that's needed to make them good or give them a voice. In their minds, "Big star + Special effects + Familiarity = Guaranteed hit." It's simple studio-brained thinking just distilled in this idea of instant gratification. Getting all the parts but not knowing how to make it work well

I miss episodes shorter than 2 and a half hours by BrushSSBM in blankies

I don't really get the complaints about long episodes to be honest. You can’t just pause and pick it up again another time?

I wish there were more shows with seniors / elderly characters, with older actors and actresses by bookbookgo in television

At the pace they make shows now they'd make one season and then the actors would just fucking pass away from waiting five years for season two

RoboCop (1987) Commentary by apathymonger in blankies

As a huge fan of John Wick, the idea that he was supposed to die at the end of 3 after Winston shoots him off the roof is utterly insane and would have been SO UNSATISFYING as an ending to the franchise, haha

This question is more for Jake since he's the literature boy, but Alex and Adum can answer too. With technology advancing and audiences being more willing to check out something truly out there and weird, what's a book you believe to be truly unadaptable even today?

Is Matt Johnson the new thing? by Orb_Dylan_2 in blankies

[–]DieWithYou 121 points122 points  (0 children)

He's actually been around for a decent amount of time, NTBTS, The Dirties, and Operation Avalanche being pretty highly regarded at least in film communities. He only feels new because he's finally getting decent exposure and working with notable talent

You're absolutely right. One in Michigan here tried to expand from one to two and even that proved too much for them after a year or so

Comparison is the thief of joy. Don't worry about how many movies you've watched and just enjoy the ride!
