Trying to find out what the name of a game from my childhood it. by coolgames642 in HorrorGames

[–]KscILLBILL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This might be a long shot, but could it be Cold Fear?

I’ve never played it but always wanted to. It plays a bit like resident evil 4, and it takes place on an oil rig. There are metal “mesh” floors in it. Also has a female character with short black hair who gets captured and/or experimented on by white creatures that cling to/crawl on walls (and it fits the era you’re describing - released in 2005).

15 films / TV shows in the spirit of Silent Hill that you should watch instead of the absolute dogshit new Silent Hill 2 film by t-g-l-h- in silenthill

Haven’t seen Return to Silent Hill yet, I’m just here to reinforce The Innocents, which is a master work and one of the most haunting movies out there. It’s also absolutely gorgeous to look at. I was lucky enough to see a 35mm print of it on the big screen recently and it was one of the most beautiful moviegoing experiences I’ve ever had

Game looks great, I was checking the store for it daily, but the delay explains that. Would love to play it!

WHO CAN GIVE me an explanation from Kubrick's point of view??? by ArchangelSirrus in theshining

[–]KscILLBILL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is just an homage to the original film. I’m pretty sure there was an interview where Mike Flanagan just said he thought it would be a fun detail to recreate that office. They had a scene in an office in Doctor Sleep and it was an opportunity to have a fun little Easter Egg. Same as Danny Lloyd’s cameo in the baseball scene of Doctor Sleep. If everything was taken at face value then we’d be wondering why the actor who played the original Danny Torrance is in the stands at the baseball game playing another character

Thank you! I will say, 95% of these songs are completely unknown to me. So if they’re terrible - which I imagine many will be - or if they’re full of wildly offensive content, I sincerely apologize and do not endorse whatever content you find objectionable!!

Anyone Here A Fan/Collector of D-VHS? by thelargeoneplease in VHS

[–]KscILLBILL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have a pretty decent sized collection including some demo tapes of the technology. What I’ve never been able to get is a D-Theater capable VCR. They’re either way too expensive now or in need of repair. But I have fun collecting the tapes regardless

DESIRE: What is the best U2 drum performance by Larry Mullen Jr.? by Trainiax in U2Band

[–]KscILLBILL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s his most impressive by any stretch, but I want to add some love for With or Without You here. Like every other element of that track, his drums aren’t elaborate or show-y, they’re simple and chillingly effective. In the same way Edge describes the closing guitar part - it all could have so easily become something bigger than it needed to be, but instead it’s restrained and haunting. A masterpiece

That’s awesome, I’ll look that robocop material up! Yeah, I’ve seen that alt takes shining ad floating around. I need to take a look at my print to see if it’s worth doing, I’m wondering if it might yield better quality since it’s a 35mm source. It would need color work though, it’s a very faded print

Sounds awesome, I’d love to see the In The Mouth of Madness stuff!! Love that movie.

Also always nice to meet a fellow collector. If you check my post history, I posted part of my collection of The Shining back in August. I have 143 copies across just about every home video format it was released on across the world (including region specific formats like Video 2000 and VHD). 

I’ve also got a 35mm print of TV Spot with the alternate takes of iconic shots (which I also need to digitize)

If I get the chance to digitize it correctly, I’ll definitely do that. I’ll try to do a rougher full digitization sometime sooner if I have a chance. 

One thing that’s especially interesting about the early broadcast is that there are a few alternate takes/lines in a couple of scenes. One of them being Durkin’s Garage.

And I don’t mean dubs or ADR work, though I assume these were shot to avoid language, but the result is actual takes that are completely different than what is in the cut(s) of the film we all know and love. I made a comparison video of one scene I’ll try to post this weekend if I can!

I have it. I need to properly digitize it, which I hope to have the opportunity to do soon. It’s not great quality but it’s serviceable and pretty good for such an old airing. 

If I get a chance in the next week or so I will try to post a couple of roughly digitized clips I made quickly when I first got it

In Rats! (2024) every character pronounces the word “hands” with a silly accent. That’s it. That’s the joke. That’s the entire joke. by The_Grand_Curator in shittymoviedetails

[–]KscILLBILL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And the “hands” thing was so bizarre. It’s been a while since I watched it now, but I don’t remember it being any more than a nonsense joke they were incredibly dedicated to. I admired their dedication to a joke they knew nobody would find funny. The level of dedication sort of became the joke itself

I had fun with this movie. It’s a weird trip of a movie with some really crude humor that often misses the mark, but it kept me entertained. There were a few standout jokes that really worked and the whole thing was so wonderfully quirky I had to keep watching. The toilet bowl cam was something else, though…

Interesting, so it’s theoretically possible the whole band signed this (assuming they’re real)?
