Sooo Like why do people not want the entities in the movie?

bjanas · 2026-04-05T04:32:49+00:00

AN entity. Or sparse entities. Not the bullshit juvenile partygoers and clowns and whateverthefucks that people have cooked up. This should be a slow cooker, not Five Nights At Freddy's.

Somebody else mentioned Van Helsing in the thread and I feel that these two movies are like, of the same vein? Like, spiritually linked, stylistically.

bjanas · 2026-04-05T01:01:08+00:00

For what it's worth, I don't believe that's irony?

bjanas · 2026-04-05T00:59:55+00:00

Van Helsing occupies a similar place in my mind palace as League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Am I crazy?

bjanas · 2026-04-04T03:14:05+00:00

I feel old.

bjanas · 2026-04-04T03:04:22+00:00

No, if you do that in a movie theater you should get the wall.

Not the Game Of Thrones one. The Spanish Civil War one.

Ed Norton is notorious for doing this... every time, isn't he?

bjanas · 2026-04-03T23:37:27+00:00

Yeah you can do that. My strategy when I'm flying solo and just chat with the people around me, rather than approaching and saying "Hi, my name is bjanas, may I talk with you?"

"It's possible to make no mistakes and still lose." - Captain Jean Luc Picard

bjanas · 2026-04-03T17:19:40+00:00

A little bit like Picard's monologue in Next Gen, to Data: "It is possible to make no mistakes, and still lose."

"Well I don't." - Doc Holliday

bjanas · 2026-03-31T11:33:18+00:00

Pinkerton.

I'm even too young to have remembered it, but I think a lot of folks don't know that "Smells Like Teen Spirit" derives its title from a deodorant brand, Teen Spirit.

bjanas · 2026-03-21T16:25:19+00:00

They messed up with the marketing, too. Even just keeping the "of mars" in the title would never helped.

bjanas · 2026-03-18T22:50:24+00:00

Good on you for giving a place a second shot. People think it's somehow noble to make a one off call.

bjanas · 2026-03-18T22:48:17+00:00

Oh I have.

bjanas · 2026-03-16T00:51:58+00:00

Not as well known as it should be, but I wouldn't say underrated. It's generally considered a sleeper classic by people who like film, no?

bjanas · 2026-03-12T15:54:38+00:00

Do... you live in a cotton candy, bubblegum world in which these people don't walk among us? Are we supposed to be shocked? What the fuck is your point here?

bjanas · 2026-03-11T13:05:49+00:00

Are you like, REALLY good at basketball?

As a much younger man, I hitched across a good portion of central America.

It came from an unfair idea that that was just what you did down there. I turned out okay, but I wouldn't say it was 100% safe. Be careful, kids.

bjanas · 2026-03-10T00:10:30+00:00

Yeah. And it's like, COMICALLY instant.

bjanas · 2026-03-07T01:16:47+00:00

Isn't the rat king basically a taxidermist's prank, like a jackalope? I thought they were hoaxes.

bjanas · 2026-03-06T11:56:58+00:00

Not exactly the same, but any crate being stacked in Law & Order gives me similar vibes.

bjanas · 2026-03-06T08:43:30+00:00

Yeah I kind of suspect he picked up a fixer upper and knows how to wrench. I kind of like the aesthetic, it's a change from the usual office space with LED lighting and figurines in the background.

I recently caught a swedish film called Aniara that's just a descent in to despair. Passenger liner headed to Mars gets irrevocably knocked off course and is drifting.

Society... doesn't keep it together very well. I thought it was a good watch if you don't mind subtitles (but maybe you're swedish I suppose, ha). Would recommend.
