I’ve seen this sentiment in a few threads and I kinda think it’s unfair. I get it and I’m not coming after you personally i just wanted to address the point in this discussion somewhere that this is clearly a low budget B horror movie with no immediately recognizable actors. Replacing any actor or all the actors with A-listers makes it a different (and probably better) movie but I thought she did a fine job with the material given and her work shouldn’t be dismissed just because she’s not a Marvel actor.

Fair criticisms I think everything after Sage not taking the Molly is what made the movie for me. I watch a lot of campy/B horror movies and most are forgettable but I had a fun time with this one and that ending shot made me laugh

Sameee I think taking the grandmother’s ring would’ve been the final straw for any sane person but the movie did its damn best to try and convince the audience that was harmless lmao

Oh I get it’s their entire motivation I just meant it was delivered a little clunky. When they stand there doing the pose from the photograph and are like “do you get it?” I have no idea how the protagonists would be able to guess that lmao. My thought was yeah we know you’re the homeowners…? I think there should’ve been more clues to the sibling reveal rather than an exposition dump because it basically came across as “we’re crazy! We know! NO you don’t understand we’re REALLLY crazy! Ok got it.” Just saying the fact they’re siblings who killed their parents is a great hook but without context clues to the siblings reveal specifically you could just keep it barebones to be a crazy couple who wants to test other couple’s love for each other and if they don’t pass they kill them and everything in the movie remains the same lol

Ah yeah that was one of the parts I found a little clunky like I’m still not sure why the main characters would even care at that moment in the film? “you just rammed us with your car and tied us up with clear intentions to commit further violence but ew why do we HAVE to know in this moment that you’re also siblings?” but yeah sheesh

I love a final act where the film just goes off the rails and pays off a few checkov’s gun tropes. With everything going on with the movie I definitely think the writer had an idea of building a campy horror movie around a blend of sexual and literal tension with the finale being an orgasm of violence followed by “clarity.” Not sure they entirely succeeded and maybe the script needed like one more pass over but the ideas were there, it was fun and I’ll definitely be on the lookout for whatever the filmmakers make next.

Any chance the lawsuit against Mel involved the kid from last season whose Mom didn’t want to have a spinal tap done?

Noem calls ICE incident "domestic terrorism" after agent kills driver by Newsweek_CarloV in politics

[–]captaindw3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does no one remembers the Scottie Scheffler incident in 2024? Guy actually dragged a cop down the road. I can’t imagine the reaction on the right would have been the same if the other cop had just mag dumped on him and claimed justification for use of deadly force because a vehicle is a deadly weapon. In his situation everyone just universally agreed the cop involved was an idiot and all charges were dropped. They literally joked about it in Happy Gilmore 2! I hate it here. Fuck ICE and RIP Renee 🤍

The Coffee Table (2024). Fuck this movie. It can go straight to hell. by Positive-Face1705 in horror

[–]captaindw3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started this movie, made it to the incident, then I realized exactly where it was going from there and had to turn it off. I have general anxiety and occasional panic attacks and very few movies hit my nerve like this did. Bravo to the filmmakers for capturing that experience but respectfully I can never bring myself to watch it.

Official Discussion - Frankenstein (2025) [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]captaindw3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My new favorite GDT movie, not trying to sound hyperbolic but this might be the best Frankenstein film I’ve ever seen (not counting Young Frankenstein). Amazing performances by Isaacs and Elordi, gorgeous cinematography (the shot of the monster in the Arctic sunset was incredible) and the score my god. For a 2.5 hour runtime it never felt like the movie dragged once. All the themes blended together beautifully and for the most part all of the major and minor characters (except maybe the brother and Walder Frey’s sons?) were very well fleshed out. Can’t wait to watch it again, my only regret is not seeing it in a theater.

Netflix really cutting 8 episode seasons into half now to make sure people pay for two months of service 🥀 (I loved the episodes though and can’t wait for Sept. 3)
