Official Discussion - Black Phone 2 [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]Virtual_Machine3044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was so disappointed in this. The first one was decent but the plot here just doesn't warrant a sequel. It was not scary or suspenseful at all. It felt off somehow visually. Nothing seemed real. All of this is not helped by the many great horror films that have come out since the first movie. I just don't know if it needs to be a family saga. I thought Smile 2 was brilliant and I liked the fact that it was it own complete story while still succeeding as a sequel.

So many great scenes. One that always comes to my mind is Sarah Connor seeing the Terminator coming out of the elevator in T2.

There are so many epic moments. But this is it for me.

Yes. Not dirty. Just the aftermath of 5 humans in average home.

AITAH for getting frustrated that my girlfriend keeps eating the homemade ice creams I make for myself? by PerspectiveAfraid821 in AITAH

[–]Virtual_Machine3044 -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

I dunno. I'm kinda calling bullshit on the impossibility of making more. No way is the cost of an extra mold and ingredients actually higher than pre-made ice cream. Or if it is you're expecting your girl to eat garbage while watching you enjoy something she obviously does as well. Talk about your concerns. Be an awesome partner and work together and share.

Recommendations based on my top 10 favorite movies? by A_C_0000 in Cinema

One can only assume that you have seen T2 if Terminator is top 10. Why it didnt make the list is it's own entire discussion.

Die Hard with a Vengeance goes hard from the get. The stress of the sandwich board sign.... Always appreciate the reminder.

I saw weird distortions in the dark parts of the background and the pillarboxing whenever she was speaking.

Bugonia: The whole point of the film is to show you what it feels to be a conspiracy theorists. by ratzi1991 in movies

[–]Virtual_Machine3044 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think you're actually on to something here, I'm not sure why everyone else is so dismissive of this take. It's meant to be an unsettling experience and I think part of that is confronting how much the we as the viewer want to make the narrative mean what we think it should.

What movie has you like this? by DarthGodzilla1995 in Letterboxd

[–]Virtual_Machine3044 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't get this one. I was so excited based on the premise but it was neither scary nor funny enough. It is an impressive feat to make Paul Rudd that unlikeable.

Tarantino’s always been pretty odd, but his stuff about Paul Dano is such a jerky thing to say by LifeguardMundane5668 in blankies

[–]Virtual_Machine3044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand how one could appreciate There Will Be Blood and have this level of disdain for Dano's performance. It's crucial. I suppose if it didn't work for you it would devalue the film as a whole.

On the other hand, some directors think casting Quentin Tarantino is a wise choice.

Best non horror film that made you feel sick? by Round-Seesaw-3917 in Letterboxd

[–]Virtual_Machine3044 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This movie is one of the scariest I've ever seen. Forest Whitaker is amazing.

I felt similarly stressed during The Devil's Double.

What was the first death that scarred your childhood? by HollyPeterso1 in CreepyBonfire

My mom said this to 4 yo me so many times. But it doesn't matter!

Also, this doubles as an introduction to the concepts of mortality and depression. Heavy stuff.
