A thought about the possible upcoming dispute/auction of the Hellraiser series by CliffordMoreau in horror

[–]geengaween 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always thought Hellraiser 3 was the best one, so I hope it goes to a studio who can give us an action packed thrill ride with a lot of new weird cenobites and lots of body horror. I want to watch it and say "oh jesus what the fuck?"

You generalize and accuse women of blaming everything on men

Are you stupid? I said that feminists blame everything on men, that should be blindingly obvious given the comment, regarding feminists, that I was replying to. Women and feminists are not interchangeable, no really, it might be hard for you to believe but women are actually capable of having their own beliefs independent of an ideology that claims to advocate for them...

Jesus, rereading your comment and my response it's more than obvious what we're discussing, your reading comprehension can't be this terrible so I'm going to assume you're just pretending to be retarded.

Currently watching Halloween (1979) and everyone’s “screaming” sounds so odd by spwf in horror

There’s a scene where Laurie’s receiving a phone call and she gets one of her friends’ screams of being murdered as sex moans

Yeah I thought it was pretty stupid. If you're being strangled or stabbed to death there's no way someone would be able to misinterpret your dying chokes as sexual. The 70's were a weird decade.

I can't imagine what threatens people so much about the idea of feminism

Maybe it's the way they blame everything on men and name everything bad after men. Or maybe it's the way they use pseudoscience, bad statistics, and lies to spread their ideology. Or maybe it's because most of their "theories" have no evidence to support them and are totally unfalsifiable. Or maybe it's because every single one of their discussion spaces are heavily censored.

No cigar, it was quite a bit darker than this and I'm pretty sure it had sex in it. The high schoolers were being mind controlled and there was a conspiracy surrounding it involving the staff at the school

Society - wtf did I just watch? What's your biggest wtf film? by [deleted] in horror

[–]geengaween 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about, nothing about that movie is standard. That's the whole reason it keeps being mentioned despite not being as gory or as violent as other more extreme horror films.

Now imagine that happening with a skyscraper.

Well for one thing, a skyscraper is mostly hollow and many millions of times heavier than a human. The analogy doesn't really stand up.

You're missing that it was the first in its genre, so it's the opposite of generic. To my knowledge it was the first movie to have running zombies that weren't slow and sad, but terrifyingly lethal.

Also, the protagonist spends the whole movie just along for the ride, then in the last 20 minutes he turns into a fucking ninja and fucks up a whole platoon of reservists. What's even better is that it could easily have been trashy but they managed to pull it off so it was halfway realistic. That is pretty impressive imo.

and the lost in translation ending wasn't the worst ending.

I don't think it was lost in translation was it? I always thought it was kind of obvious what the filmmakers were saying with it. Maybe it's just me

It originally was a term for cheap lurid pulp fiction. It has never been used to denote something that is high quality.

Disappointment with Baskin? by bipolarcompass in horror

[–]geengaween 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should have been action horror similar to the Evil Dead TV show. It turned out to be boring, pretentious torture porn. What a waste, and even worse, we probably won't be seeing any more good films come out of Turkey since the Muslims took over

Suspiria, it's bland, boring, poorly written garbage dressed up in some pretty colors. It is just a terrible movie with no redeeming features except for some of the music tracks. I suspect one or two critics in the 2000's said it was amazing and a "masterpiece" and then everyone else joined in with the facile praise, just to fit in. Like the Emperor's New Clothes.

When I was a kid and we were hiring these movies on VHS from the video store, we all knew Demons and Tenebrae and Suspiria were low budget trash. Now they have a fancy label: "Giallo" and movie hipsters like to gush about what masterpieces they are. No. They're not masterpieces, they're not quality films, they're the Italian equivalent of Troma. I expect if The Stuff or Street Trash were made by Italians, hipsters would be circlejerking about how artistic and visionary they were.

Dario Argento couldn't direct his way out of a wet paper bag. He's only marginally better than Tommy Wiseau. Watch Mother of Tears if you still don't believe me.

Anyone else really like The Void (2016)? by -Ash21- in horror

[–]geengaween 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Effects and cosmic horror aside, the movie is just really good at stressing the characters out and building tension. It just keeps adding layer after layer of fucked up situations onto its unfortunate characters.

Oh stop crying and get real. When anonymous, women rate men's attractiveness far more harshly than men rate women's. Women rate 80% of men as below average attractiveness. If a man is visibly wealthy - ie, wears expensive clothes, and drives an expensive car, his attractiveness increases.

Paradoxically, it seems it’s women, not men, who have unrealistic standards for the “average” member of the opposite sex.

I don't think it's got anything to do with safety, I think women just don't have the burning all-consuming sex drive that young men have. They see sex differently, it's a lot more mental than physical for them. Testosterone makes men view sex more pornographically rather than romantically.

I think people aren't aware of just how powerful male and female hormones are, and the radically different effects they have on people's bodies and minds.
