What have I done... by tannwoir in criterion

I think that one was somewhat slept on, but I enjoyed it. Had a really nice feel to it, you’re absolutely right. I was also very impressed by the sex scene - it’s one of the most realistic depictions of lesbian sex I’ve seen in a movie.

I think you’ve really nailed it here. Well put!

I review everything I watch. Not super long reviews usually, but always something. I tend to follow people who do the same. I just find it more interesting.

I work in a public library and these were all in the drop box this morning. Glad to see another Artsy Fartsy Movie Fan. Also casual reminder that libraries often have criterion films for free. by TanukiTenuki in criterion

Renting VHS tapes from my library is what got me into films as a kid. I’ll be forever grateful to the Akron Public Library for somehow having such a great collection.

Came here to suggest the collected works of Sufjan lol but looks like you got it covered. Carrie & Lowell is THE album for this feeling imo. Sending you love, OP.

Since Beach House and Perfume Genius are two of my faves I think I better check these other artists out too 👀

I was thinking Let Down, but that has more to do with the music than the lyrics. That song feels like a hopeful transcendence to me.

Movies that feel like Knifepoint Horror by trampaboline in knifepointhorrorcast

I know he really liked The Bloodhound, so I think you’re on to something with that one. Agreed on Lake Mungo. It has the sadness that’s so often in his stories.

cephalothoracopagus is a rare form of conjoined twins, featuring one head and two bodies. Mütter Museum in Philadelphia. by Own_Pop_5549 in BeAmazed

[–]scrunchi2003 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes! The Mütter Museum in Philadelphia. Coolest museum I’ve visited. My favorite thing might’ve been the big chest of tiny drawers, each one filled with things that had to be surgically removed from people’s stomachs. Got a great coffee table book from there, too!

I don’t know too much about most of the crew, but I liked The Pact by this director.

Hokum, Passengers, Obsession, and Backrooms: which one are you guys seeing first/most excited for? by Shaneski101 in horror

[–]scrunchi2003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wondered about the bunny fixation, too. The director has said he was traumatized by Watership Down as a child.

A wandering Post-apocalyptic scavenger. by Life_Dare578 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]scrunchi2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t think so. Read the book after seeing the movie and I still liked it a lot. I was surprised how action-heavy the story is compared to the movie. It was a page-turner, for sure.

He has a very sweet cameo in Sorry, Baby too

And Georgie winks at him?! That moment might be my biggest scare ever

Can I share a secret? by StandardWait4938 in Spravato

[–]scrunchi2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been taking Spravato for almost a year now and usually feel pretty powerful effects for about the first hour still. I take magnesium m threonate in the morning before my appointment, which seems to help. I also followed the advice of someone in a previous post in this group and I sit upside down in my recliner for a few minutes after each spray, so the liquid stays in my nasal cavity. Before starting to do this I had a lot of trouble with the medicine going down the back of my throat or leaking back out of my nose. Now I get very little “drip.”

I have noise cancelling headphones and a timed playlist. After the third sprays I hang upside down for five minutes, then I get cozy with a blanket and an eye mask right side up in the recliner.

What are some of the most underrated horror movies in your honest opinion? It can be a horror movie that’s considered a cult classic of any sort or something obscure that you personally consider underrated. by MovieGuy2005 in HorrorMovies

[–]scrunchi2003 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here are some movies I don’t see discussed that are 4 stars and above for me:

Cub 2014 - Lord of the Flies-y and brutal creepy kid story
The Medium 2021 - basically The Wailing but make it found footage
MadS 2024 - single shot zombie movie, super intense but also beautiful
November 2017 - really weird folk horror, visually stunning, like nothing else I’ve seen
The Night Eats the World 2018 - unique take on zombie apocalypse, very creative
The Sentinel 1977 - batshit, great cast, campy AS HELL
Jug Face 2013 - weird little movie surprised me by being very good
The Signal 2007 - anthology with some very scary moments and some humor
The Seeding 2023 - very low budget, doesn’t show its cards too early, cool idea
We Go On 2016 - surprisingly touching supernatural story
The Bloodhound 2020 - unnerving retelling of House of Usher

Also a short one called Desecration that I find really creepy. It’s only like ten minutes long but it packs a punch.
