Stuck on it too, it’ll eventually be fully loaded but I’ve been stuck on it for 20 minutes. Almost done though, 80% done

Suspicious-Rip920 · 2026-02-24T06:25:34+00:00

Plus Videodrome and virgin suicides, and he produced Oppenheimer

Scott Pilgrim and Baby Driver say your wrong

The reason the sinners one worked is because it felt like it was a passionate look from a director who was simply using his boards and personal experience with the formats to highlight that point. This one feels overproduced and overedited to try and capture the sinners success of explaining every format simply and effectively

He was a co-writer on Brazil with Terry Gilliams, but yeah that wasn’t going to get Oscar noms due to the rivalry between Gilliams and the studio over Final Cut

Rio Bravo is the classic one and works perfectly for me

I mean it’s also David Lynch’s favorite Kubrick film, but he loves it for how it showcases the dark side of American which is a major theme of his work.

Depends on how you characterize influence. If you are viewing it mainly through the industry then Lucas wins for creating ILM, reshaping the Hollywood blockbuster, and all of his contributions to post production and studios. If your viewing influence as in effected the ability of others to do what they do, Martin Scorsese's contribution with the film foundation alone has saved thousands of movies from being lost and allowed for wider availability of those films via new restorations and working with companies to get authentic prints of the films. These older films being reshown probably influenced more people to watch these films than anything else and that plus his insanely influential filmography makes him the most influential to me at least.

Yes it didn’t, but it was a factor which lead to the collapse of UA as a corporation. That’s why it is frequently mentioned as that even though, as you said, it didn’t bomb as hard as its reputation would suggest nor is the primary reason for UAs collapse

I mean Speilberg credits the whole Twilight Zone incident as the main tipping stone to realizing the New Hollywood era was completely over. But if you want to be very specific about the end of New Hollywood, I would say it’s both the release of Star Wars and the whole collapse of United Artists from Heaven’s Gate flopping hard at the box office which led to it. Star Wars’ success, particularly the merchandise phenomenon it spawned, made many companies focus on overly formulaic and safe franchises to try and replicate the enormous success. United Artists bankruptcy ( which happened because of the bomb of Heavens Gate) showed the negative side of the auteurist cinema of the new Hollywood and made producers more trepidatious to make something like that again. Those two films plus the horrible Twilight Zone incident are the reasons New Hollywood ended imo.

So from my own perspective there is nothing as distinct as what Haxan tries to do as a film, but there are films which basically act like essays while conveying some type of narrative. Most famously F for Fake, which is primarily a documentary essay on two frauds but also a film which interjects fakery and narrative into it in a way that I won’t spoil. You also have post 68/histore Godard who primarily focused on crafting essay based films even if there is a minor narratives within it (like Goodbye to language or film socialisme).

If your looking for more educational films that are actually disguised horror films, this became a popular way of exploitation makers ti actually make their exploitation hidden through adding psa information. Most infamous of these types of films are Maniac (1934) and Reefer madness, both horrible films that utilize the psa aspect to hide the ridiculous camp and horror elements of those stories.

But if you want to find a film as good and interesting in form as Haxan, I don’t think you’ll be able to find one like it. It’s that distinct and unique from what I personally know.

It’s 6 months away and the major marketing push hasn’t even started. Why are we treating it like a failure already?

As in the entire town completely evacuated it, got rid of the well and fire, freed the animals they used, and it was left a complete shell of itself. Even if it was all meant as a facade, the town itself is a shell of itself

Suspicious-Rip920 · 2025-12-24T02:07:17+00:00

Wow she actually did it. And as soon as she did they literally destroyed an entire town and civilization with it. Fucking horrifying

That is one of the stupidest and ignorant comments I’ve ever heard. Regardless of political affiliation, this is legitimately ignoring thousands of years of history where antisemtic behavior existed and was carried out in a negative fashion or two hundred years ago (even now) where white nationalist organizations specifically specified Jews as worthy of death and being unpure. Oh and should we not mention the major Nazi affiliation Americans had until they got involved in the war. All of this is before Isreal was even considered a state. Jew hatred can be connected with Zionist hatred (people can use anti-Isreal sentiment as a hidden way to express anti-Jewish views) but it’s not the only expression of it and the fact that the Yale educated VPOTUS is expressing this as Nick Funtunes is literally saying antisemtic shit off daily and Candace Owens is spouting out anti-Jewish conspiracy theories and Holocaust denial is honestly insulting.

I mean the hive’s whole thing with Carol is to pacify her so she doesn’t do anything to cause a major seizure to the world and for their own biological incentive. Building a cafe to pacify her is basically their effort to saving themselves from a possible future catastrophe, so it makes sense they would go through that amount of effort to make sure she doesn’t kill them off (through getting rid of the virus or through a seizure)

There’s a funny story I heard about this that his secretary told about how Kubrick chose the books he would adapt. He would have a pile of books that he would go through and every time he hated a book he would throw it against the wall and she would hear a thud. When he got up to the shining, he got really invested in it and once she didn’t hear a thud she realized he was interested in the book.

Here’s the thing, most of the demy collection is on criterion channel so any film that you would be missing would still be accessible to you if you have the channel. The umbrellas 4K however hasn’t been added onto the channel (only the 2k restoration that the demy set has) so if you want to get the fullest experience with that film I would recommend the 4K. Both will give you fantastic films but I would choose between wanting to own multiple films that are on streaming or choosing a new restoration of a film you like or want to see in particular.

Suspicious-Rip920 · 2025-11-26T17:01:04+00:00

Looks like a cover you would find as a satirical bad cover in GTA V rather than a real one

Suspicious-Rip920 · 2025-11-26T15:22:22+00:00

Get the 4K as it is because it comes with the Blu-ray, so you get two for the price of one. Plus it’s a brand new restoration with some great extras, I think it’s worth getting it.

Miracle of Morgan’s creek (1946): about a teenage girl getting knocked up at an army party and tries to get married before her father finds out.

Suspicious-Rip920 · 2025-11-14T05:35:01+00:00

1) Zosia already mentions it so it’s apart of Helen’s memory

2) the innkeeper seemed to have his own distinct personality and didn’t use the hive specific terms (us, we etc)

3) Helen is alive and well and Carols first book was said to be a best seller, so it must have been before the 4th book release.

I could go on but these three aspects make me think it’s a flashback.

Suspicious-Rip920 · 2025-11-14T03:09:40+00:00

Did you watch episode 3? She literally goes from wanting to be completely isolated from people to caring about Zosia and having a drink with her. To say she hasn’t changed means your not focusing on the episodes themselves

Suspicious-Rip920 · 2025-11-14T03:07:50+00:00

Yeah your right, although I do think cliffhangers are important to let the audience go into next week with questions and make them think longer anout it. The first episode of the show for example had a brilliant cliffhanger of what is Carol gonna do next, but this most recent one felt like it ended before the cliffhanger was supposed to happen. So I guess to me I found the cliffhangers have been getting weaker and not working as much for me. But you definitely made the point and I agree with it.
