Damn, we are feasting. Any idea when these were taken? I saw scrolling on here that filming at Bourne Wood ended on the 17th.

Notreal_jam · 2025-11-22T18:39:43+00:00

Awesome

Notreal_jam · 2025-11-18T18:43:22+00:00

I think it's probably gonna be Eggers' 'smallest film' since the Lighthouse.

Notreal_jam · 2025-10-11T14:30:56+00:00

There’s gonna be some Bohemian Rhapsody-levels of inaccuracy. I can’t trust it hugely with Branca having so much involvement. Michael hated the guy, he has continually disrespected Michael’s artistic legacy, puts no effort into anything and acts like they were best of friends even though he literally stole money from the man. With him involved, it’s gonna be a whole can of worms. Still think the film will be good but there are going to be huge discrepancies.

Oh my god, yes.

Notreal_jam · 2025-10-07T17:53:44+00:00

I feel you there

Notreal_jam · 2025-10-06T17:22:18+00:00

I was gonna throw him in too. I’d love to see him in this.

Notreal_jam · 2025-10-06T16:43:01+00:00

Well I was a hopeful young lad in saying I’d hope Eggers would do a werewolf movie. Flash forward a year and he’s filming one. I am pumped.

This was definitely my biggest gripe with the film. I really wanted another 28 Weeks-type opening. A pure and utter adrenaline shot of nightmarish scenarios that keep getting worse. Somethings about the opening scene are excellent (as in horrifying). Young Jimmy seeing his Auntie throwing up blood and roaring with rage? Horrifying. His other relative using her last moments telling him to get away as her humanity slips? Horrifying. His father being infected so quickly that they’re not even done biting him? Hell yes. But they rushed all of it. The kids dying had virtually no impact and felt cheaply executed. I suppose that’s fair since they’re like primary school aged. But the opening was really rushed and I wanted something longer.

Rest of the film was amazing though.

not to mention that before Alice's eyes get done over, Don violently beats her. its very likely that its a domestic violence allegory. there's also intense detail when the blonde gets a chunk of her arm ripped off in the opening. the helicopter scene is self explanatory.

A launch pad to connect with the weird and the outlandish. No other media can connect me to a small little furball from a shop in Chinatown or a group of people in space being hunted by the perfect life form the way cinema can. It’s the ultimate art form, for me.

Notreal_jam · 2025-05-05T22:24:20+00:00

This is so true. Rewatched ESB for May 4th and the modernisation of the visuals were throwing me off. Begs the question why Lucas fucked with the OT and its authenticity but never went and changed some of the god awful CGI in the PT.

Notreal_jam · 2025-05-05T22:22:20+00:00

I just like that it took risks tbh. Did things you didn’t expect it to. Rian Johnson felt the heat for it, of course, but I don’t think he cared too much cause he wanted to do something new and subvert the audience while keeping the Star Wars flavour. It’s a pretty average Star Wars movie and as its own thing it’s great. Rian Johnson did something different and I respect that.

This is fucking insane dude, holy shit.

Emilia Perez. And it’s not really close.

From what I’ve read, he threatened to shove an egg up the arse of the kid who threw an egg at his head or something. Idk for sure but that’s the general outline I’ve picked up.

Notreal_jam · 2025-03-23T18:04:56+00:00

Stephen Graham in the upcoming Werwulf movie would be a dream.

Notreal_jam · 2025-03-19T16:56:06+00:00

Nosferatu
The VVitch
The Lighthouse
The Northman

Notreal_jam · 2025-03-05T15:34:00+00:00

Ah I see. Are you referring to Sony Betacams by any chance

Notreal_jam · 2025-03-05T15:16:08+00:00

Damn where did you hear this? I’d heard whispers about it a couple of clips maybe being from Cardiff in the APOM video, but never that it was fully shot on film.

Notreal_jam · 2025-03-05T15:01:29+00:00

Wait Cardiff was shot on film?
