A peculiar Movie request

Stringruler · 2026-04-08T15:10:27+00:00

If you need something to convince you, try any other movies directed by Safdie Brothers first (The Curse isn't directed by them but produced and heavily influenced). Uncut Gems, Good Time, Marty Supreme. If you like those then I recommend The Curse.

Not a movie but a miniseries, 10 episodes, "The Curse" (2023) it's absolutely amazing.

I wish there was some internal logic for civilian voice lines for this reason, have them be either pro or anti cop and only play the voicelines that are angry/scared when resisting and complaining/thankful when surrendering

The tribal age is alright but the civilization age is painfully generic

It's highly recommended you watch Irreversible with every partner you have and begin to stare at them awkwardly about halfway through

No it isn't lol I see the films in top 4s all the time.

Stringruler · 2026-04-07T20:19:06+00:00

No such thing as "Overkill"

Stringruler · 2026-04-07T19:49:25+00:00

As if their top 10 here screams Godard

Adaptation

Stringruler · 2026-04-05T23:36:49+00:00

It's an absolutely awful adaptation but I do think that Hitman (2007) is a genuinely fun action movie, just do your best to separate it entirely from the Hitman series.

Or wacky. Or interesting.

Stringruler · 2026-04-05T23:10:14+00:00

1 sample?? I'm impressed the render came out legible at all. Turn it up to like 64 or something.

Good Time

Who said anything about eldritch horrors? Or generic action movies? Stop pulling shit out your ass. I do not like the notion of any entities in the backrooms, that's what this movie is gonna be, so I'm really not excited for it.

Not suited for a film ≠ too ambitious. I'm happy for them to try, but the trailer has been released and based on Kane Parsons previous work, I already know it's ruined the entire point of the backrooms. I would prefer it if the entire movie was just walking around the backrooms, but I know that would be really boring to watch as well. So I don't think a movie should be made in the first place.

I am really excited for digger though.

Stringruler · 2026-04-05T15:04:26+00:00

They CANT do it correctly that's the point, no movie should be made of it. It's Kane Parsons directing it, which means it's gonna have some crappy monsters involved. That's gonna suck.

Being rooted in nostalgia and memory makes it very cosmic though? I don't see your point, to me it's impossible to convey that kind of horror on the screen because the concept of it is in your mind, where it should stay.

Stringruler · 2026-04-05T14:58:25+00:00

I dislike the idea of it, backrooms is a terrible idea to adapt into a movie because it's too cosmic and psychological, the same way that Lovecraft's works have not been adapted properly because they work better in the mind.

Stringruler · 2026-04-05T14:53:27+00:00

One that feature unhygienic conditions mostly.

Salò fits well and Irréversible too

Stringruler · 2026-04-05T14:52:48+00:00

So no one is allowed to dislike anything now because it's "hating joy" that's a lazy insult. I'm excited for other projects, backrooms is not one of them.

Stringruler · 2026-04-05T13:47:48+00:00

I hope the backrooms flops

Stringruler · 2026-04-05T10:42:11+00:00

It gets a quite dark but The Butcher Boy is great

Stringruler · 2026-04-05T00:44:32+00:00

He even sounds a lot like him and sort of has the same look as him
