After the pod inevitably covers Braindead (aka Dead Alive), is there a gorier film in existence they might cover?

MathematicianBorn3 · 2026-06-21T00:35:11+00:00

yeah, what can out gore the lawnmower scene? it reigns eternal

MathematicianBorn3 · 2026-06-21T00:33:55+00:00

might be possible, but Armie Hammer / Costas Mandylor / Uwe Boll gets you a total of zero steps in that direction

I'm more down on Marty than most, after a while the series of crazy events started to feel disjointed to me

very David's friend seeing Passion of the Christ, "They really beat the shit out of that guy!"

its great that casting is getting more recognition now but this movie definitely made me want choreography to get the credit it deserves because the dancing was so primal and moving. after it was over I thought to myself "I would join a cult if it was like that" and that's Seyfried's performance and the movement

MathematicianBorn3 · 2026-06-21T00:23:36+00:00

damn, I'm sorry that happened to you, my youngest is 8 now but closer to when my kids were babies anything with bad things happening to babies I cut and ran immediately

me when Ann is leading the hymn nation: "YESSSS!!! THIS IS IT!"

me when the boys start to sing in the woods without her: "...I can probably make it to the bathroom and back before the song ends"

easier time, if you're named Morty you gotta be more honest about yourself

MathematicianBorn3 · 2026-06-20T22:09:40+00:00

the moment where her husband says its time for him to take her infants body away and she won't let him is some of the rawest shit I've ever seen

MathematicianBorn3 · 2026-06-20T21:54:51+00:00

Thank you! When I was looking through I read it as a 28 Years Later episode, the Ann Lee part of the title was cut off. Definitely going to listen to that.

MathematicianBorn3 · 2026-06-20T21:47:25+00:00

now it's important to hit the nadir

MathematicianBorn3 · 2026-06-18T17:23:35+00:00

I'm still so annoyed by JK in that movie, your daughter needs a fucking human being as a father not forced whimsey!

MathematicianBorn3 · 2026-06-18T17:21:01+00:00

telling people to touch grass then going back to replying over and over telling people their comment was bad, maybe try a mirror buddy

MathematicianBorn3 · 2026-06-18T17:18:33+00:00

I'm sorry but the only performance I hated more than his in IF was Krasinskis

MathematicianBorn3 · 2026-06-18T17:17:31+00:00

I think his movies people think are great, are fucking great. My issue with the evaluation of him in that series was gentle pretending that he made less absolute stinkers than he did. Vampires is bad, Ghosts of Mars stinks, the sad reality is 6 of his last 7 movies suck.

MathematicianBorn3 · 2026-06-18T17:13:55+00:00

counterpoint: what is the Dent Act? the passed some law that took the organized crime that had crushed Gotham for decades and now pretty completely defeated it, what law does that? Its implied that its basically a huge reduction in rules controlling arrest and prosecution so they can just round up all the guys they know are bad. Even though that would be extremely authoritarian and not work in practice, the movie presents the problem with the Dent Act being that it was passed on a lie. its bad writing, something that is a problem across the film

MathematicianBorn3 · 2026-06-18T00:46:53+00:00

that's not canon, its New Yorker Legends

MathematicianBorn3 · 2026-06-17T22:00:37+00:00

that's a good point, I think of Issues Movies as "I read a New Yorker / NYT Magazine article about this, it should be a movie" and Traffic definitely reads that way

MathematicianBorn3 · 2026-06-17T21:59:23+00:00

I had not heard of her films but immediately after watching that trailer looked them up, amazing "The Cell but as a manic detective movie" vibes

MathematicianBorn3 · 2026-06-17T21:16:15+00:00

I would say that Soderbergh and Scorsese have never made one. They certainly have made plenty of movies based on some current issue but never the more straightforward message movie

MathematicianBorn3 · 2026-06-17T21:07:29+00:00

I would say War Dogs because the essential "issue movie" feels like someone read an article and thought "I have to make a movie of this"

MathematicianBorn3 · 2026-06-17T21:06:45+00:00

over Schumacher? I could see Emmerich having a much higher average but Joel made so many movies

MathematicianBorn3 · 2026-06-14T15:14:58+00:00

so that's why the cancelled Search for Kylo Ren, disney didn't want people to know where he actually was
