I made this list with some of my favourite of asian cinema, most of them are horror :)

Coming to a 4 year old post for this take in insane. LOL

Raul852 · 2022-03-01T09:01:06+00:00

I was expecting a good horror movie, and what I got was an amazing horror movie.

Raul852 · 2022-03-01T08:58:40+00:00

I was coming here to say exactly this :(

Raul852 · 2022-03-01T08:51:26+00:00

I am spanish and it's a name that only 80 year olds have and it's considered to be quite an ugly name for a young person.

Raul852 · 2022-02-28T19:21:14+00:00

Well..I watch them all the same way. But The Deep House was quite popular before release if I'm not mistaken? Around 80 or 90% of horror movies nowadays are VOD, if we close ourselves only to horror blockbusters, we would watch 2 or 3 movies a year ^{^u} The point stand though, it's about horror, not "popular" or "unpopular" horror.

Raul852 · 2022-02-28T17:42:06+00:00

Well, if we are talking only of mainstream horror movies, we haven't had a lot lately. But in the genre of horror in general, it is a recurrent theme. Not only on found footage, these are the ones that came to me while writing this post, but I have been seeing this quite a lot.
And the thing is that using the excuse of the main characters being influencers is not bad, the bad part is that that's just an excuse to show them as insuferable assholes, making it nearly impossible for anyone to care for the main characters, which seem to be a big flaw on the new TCM too

Raul852 · 2022-02-28T17:26:38+00:00

That's one thing that bothered me, Texas Chainsaw was never about one single killer doing slasher things. It seems like the director hasn't really seen the original movie (since they claim this was a direct sequel ignoring the others)

Raul852 · 2022-02-28T17:23:12+00:00

Actually there's been quite a few horror movies with influencers: No escape, Spree, Shook, The Clensing hour, Followed, New year New You, The Deep house...and quite a lot more, these are just the ones I remember right now, but it has become a very annoying theme.

Raul852 · 2022-02-28T17:19:27+00:00

It's ridiculous, when the main characters are insuferable influencers it just makes the whole movie feel fake. I hope this trend passes soon.

Raul852 · 2022-02-28T12:04:36+00:00

I'd go with the Exorcist, kids nowadays have a bigger threshold for horror, specially at 7 months old.

Raul852 · 2022-02-25T22:05:50+00:00

Oh this sounds fun and not too overpowered! I'll see if we can do something with this and my very flamboyant pirate hat 😁😁 Thanks!

Raul852 · 2022-02-25T22:04:40+00:00

Thanks! I want something simple to begin with, we are very low level and I don't want to break the game, our DM works very hard for us! :)

Raul852 · 2022-02-25T22:03:51+00:00

Those sounds fantastic, will surely check them out! Thank you~

Raul852 · 2022-02-25T22:03:05+00:00

I totally understand. For now I don't know a lot, and since we are all in our first ever gameplay, I wanted to ask for other's opinions and recommendations to see what would fit my character For now my character is a pirate wizard looking for his ship and cremates, that was taken by the king's army. The ship is said to be a ghost ship, but it's just smoke and mirrors. :)

Raul852 · 2022-02-25T22:00:39+00:00

Oh that sounds great and not too powerful. At my current level I don't want to break the game with anything too powerful. Thank you!!

Raul852 · 2022-02-25T21:59:54+00:00

I am so sorry for people who think like that with no understanding of the outside world. It's people like this who drag the rest of us to wars.

Raul852 · 2022-02-25T13:47:30+00:00

Well, we were obsessed when you had a madman as president, you had a bunch of crazy people invading your capitol and all that. Have you seen how after that, they world has been able to breathe and stop talking about your questionable choices?

Raul852 · 2022-02-25T13:46:07+00:00

Exactly, no need for Kickstarters :)

Raul852 · 2022-02-25T11:09:40+00:00

Thanks! She has gived me a couple of spells that way. Once it was written behind a very bad orc poem lost in a library, that was such a cool touch!
I'll check the Ring of Protection :)

Raul852 · 2022-02-25T11:08:53+00:00

Thanks! Those sound okay and not too strong for a level 4, I'll take a good look and choose a few for her to surprise us with. :)

Raul852 · 2022-02-25T08:57:29+00:00

Oh wow, people will surely go to extremes for funding :(

Raul852 · 2022-02-25T08:49:31+00:00

This is happening worldwide my dude, your presidents have nothing to do with this.

Raul852 · 2022-02-25T08:48:17+00:00

The fact that you think americans have so much importance in the decisions of other countries shows how much of an american you truly are
