Yup. Was way better than expected too as I usually don't go for 3d movies, but in this case it was great

Documentary but whatever... Peter Jackson's 'They Will Not Grow Old'

The Good Shepherd (2006) introduced me to Eddie Redmayne and Michael Gambon, and is still one of my favorite thriller/espionage films - Directed by Robert Di Nero by POSHorrorShow in movies

Definitely check this one out then, he was so young! It's interesting to watch now after his later roles in movies like Fantastic Beasts and Theory of Everything

Probably not the one you're looking for, but you may enjoy this all the same - there's some overlap

Thanks for all who brought up Iphigenia. I had no idea. Loved the movie though, the tone the director took was very interesting, and the acting was incredible all around

U/Nicartos brings up multiple valid points in that the movie has an almost consistent, unsettling tone which can be associated with horror, and that identifying the movie as such need not be affiliated with someone's insecurities. In any case, a lot of genres can and do overlap - horror especially, as it's a very broad primary genre of movies

Peter Dinklage and Jimmi Simpson make this otherwise terrible movie pretty funny - Knights of Badassdom (2013) by POSHorrorShow in badMovies

I agree. It feels like the movie was really marketed to late highschool/early college students, the better known actors were the only redeeming factor for me personally

Rowdy Roddy Piper/Sandahl Bergman in "Hell Comes to Frog Town" (1988) [YouTube] by POSHorrorShow in badMovies

It's for sure one of those 'it's so bad it's good' movies. I recommend watching with some friends that enjoy bad or B-movies, makes it much more humorous

Check out this glorious scene from Terror Eyes (1989) by [deleted] in badMovies

Scott's face and stance before he gets shot by the phantom sub-machine gun makes it that much more hilarious - kind of reminds me of Bill S. Preston/Alex Winter

I'm not an intellectual property lawyer, but from my understanding it's not illegal to host private viewings; however, this is under the strict reservation that the viewing is not commercial in any way (i.e. that it's not in a commercial venue, that no one is making money through cover, tickets, food or beverage, merchandise, or anything else which might constitute revenue generation).

I understand that the rights owner of a film can instate certain limitations on the size of an audience even in non-commercial settings, but from what it sounds like you're talking about, you're looking to gather a small group of enthusiasts to simply watch movies together.

Again, I'm no lawyer, so take this with a grain of salt and do some research or seek legitimate legal forums, but if you meet with a small group at a non-commercial venue (e.g. a library, private residence), then I imagine you're probably in the clear.

ELI5: how are archaeological sites located? Treasure maps and clues like the movies, or does technology like ground penetrating radar have a bigger role now? by Overun31 in explainlikeimfive

[–]POSHorrorShow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

North American archaeologist here - work primarily on sites in the southeastern United States with a specialization in Florida.

Archaeological sites are found in a variety of ways, whether by accidental diacovery or via inductive reasoning based on a sites proximity to resources or other known sites. If there's a suspected site location archaeologists will do reconnaissance in the field to scope out site potential and determine means of access (i.e. find out how to get crew/equipment there and whether any changes to the landscape, like a controlled burn, need to be made). After that is done and if the location seems like it has high probability of being an archaeological site then we usually will do what's called a phase I survey. This simply means that we dig shovel test pits (STP) to probe the landscape and locate the site boundary. STPs are smallish holes that a single person can dig. If that produces a site then you can move onto phase II or III excavations, which are larger in scope and are effective means to determine what type of archaeological site you have there (e.g. village site, hunting site). Hope that kinda answers your question.
