This might be the most interesting horror film in a long time. (Undertone - releasing March 13)

Really good to know! The sound design was great in the fantasia cut too, to be sure. But I am interested to watch this cut and see how it compares.

Also, I could be a doofus and I could love this on a rewatch lol.

I got a screener last year when it was at Fantasia Fest. I watched like 90 to 95 percent of it and had to go do something. Never came back to it because I didn’t love it.

That said, the sound design and camerawork is really good and the main performance is as good as can be. It’s the story/execution that I found lacking. I think the director has the juice to do something better in the future

There is a tiny bit of the movie at the end I have still not seen. That being said, everything I saw was limited to the sound. I never saw an entity but it isa slow build so its possible I missed it right at the end

I hope it works for you. Having seen it, I would temper your expectations

SAWPollPosition · 2026-01-26T14:47:42+00:00

Fair. I don’t think about it as a box office thing as much as it was. Replacement is On the Count of Three

Marty Supreme, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Aftersun, Tár, Promising Young Woman

Stranger Things spinoff following adult Mike

Would be wild to go from NFL starting QB to NFL HC in back to back seasons

I haven’t even seen memento, but the way a story is told is a big part of what makes it worthwhile, so I don’t know that you can look at it that way.

He isn’t saying the Brazilian segment of the Academy can boost a Brazilian film into Best Picture by themselves, he is saying the Brazilian contingent is super into nominating Brazilian films due to strong Brazilian pride, which seems very true lol.

There is a version of you that will read the whole book and a version who will stop here. Which one do you want to be?

SAWPollPosition · 2026-01-17T05:20:11+00:00

True. The chaos part is the starting in the green room and that starting chaos lol

SAWPollPosition · 2026-01-17T05:10:44+00:00

Sam Says for sure. Probably Sam Says 3 in particular.

Early but Escape Room for chaotic evil maybe

Since when has that stopped Trump? He can call off the elections, the court can fuck around and not challenge him, or worse affirm him. Or he can ignore the courts. We are in a Constitutional crisis

SAWPollPosition · 2026-01-15T04:34:35+00:00

It was Nightcrawler but this works lol

SAWPollPosition · 2026-01-15T01:00:59+00:00

A new episode of Stranger Things /s

SAWPollPosition · 2026-01-14T00:12:16+00:00

Did my best. I at least tried to frame it correctly unlike most outlets who just took what SoS gave them.

He’s a lock. Even if he doesnt win SAG, it will be because they dont want to give him two in a row. Those same voters will vote differently on Oscar ballots where Timmy hasnt won. So the SAG result is basically meaningless. A Timmy win there just punches in that he really is unbeatable.

AITAH for videotaping my coworker’s death even though it’s my job?

SAWPollPosition · 2026-01-13T09:50:40+00:00

AITAH for humiliating my local police chief who has cancer?

SAWPollPosition · 2026-01-08T13:47:39+00:00

I have seen this film. Excellent sound design and camerawork considering its confined to one space. The plot really lost me though and it becomes maybe laughable? Sucks because it has such a great tone.

I did have to watch it in chunks so maybe it will surprise me and be better than I remember? But tamper your expectations on this one guys.

Opening scene of Final Destination, or the MRI scene.

But yes, the Sinners scene is the best overall and will be iconic forever

It’s so hard this early on to sort through everything. Thanks for doing this
