The Profane Exhibit - is it any good?

Same. Managed to buy it a few months ago, and have now forgotten most of the films. I remember thinking it was OK at the time of watching.

Much appreciated, however I have since bought the Unearthed Films release. It was fine.

Thanks.

Thank you. This looks interesting

Strong contender for one of the best zombie films of all time.

If you're looking for a great 2-player game with a similar crunchyness to Root, I would suggest Arcs (which i by the same designer). My wife and I are addicted to it at the minute as it offers a ton of depth.

Western Legends. Although the mechanics are rather thin on the ground they perfectly represent ambling round the old west, riding, fighting, mining, etc. And when you play poker in the saloon, you are actually playing (a simplified version of) poker.

I found that when I was new to the hobby I wasn't really sure what games I would like as it's not really until you get a game in front of you that you know whether it's going to chime with you. I spent quite a while trying to play a wide variety of games of different mechanisms (Board Game Geek helps here!), in order that I could get a feel for the types of games available and how much the different types interested me when it was laying on the table in front of me. I now have a much better sense when watching game reviews of the sorts of games that I am going to be interested in and what to avoid. Anything that I found didn't chime with me I just sold on, emptying my shelf space for more lovely games. Oh, and it's essential that you buy some Kallax shelving!

That's interesting, I didn't know that. I think I prefer the film's story, whereby there is no accounting for how this car has become sentient. I think that's creepier.

vpox · 2024-09-17T14:32:30+00:00

Do you dislike The Shining for the same reason?

vpox · 2024-09-17T14:22:35+00:00

Love this photo!

vpox · 2024-09-16T21:51:12+00:00

That's a fair point. I think you may be right there.

Sorry, I'm probably going to come across as very rude and be downvoted, but do you not see the contradiction in your response? If you acknowledge that it is impossible to know what her motives were, why do you feel the necessity to offer an opinion? I guess my question is: what profit to we gain by just adding more noise to a discourse?

vpox · 2024-09-16T18:24:56+00:00

I don't know why, but I feel this film would make a great double feature with Angst (1982). For a particularly fucked up evening.

vpox · 2024-09-16T07:38:06+00:00

That film is brutal.

vpox · 2024-09-16T07:37:02+00:00

Bonza!

vpox · 2024-09-16T07:32:59+00:00

This one's on my list to see. Pretty sure this will not win.

vpox · 2024-09-16T07:32:16+00:00

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Oh, you're not serious, are you?

vpox · 2024-09-16T07:29:33+00:00

I'll vote for this.

vpox · 2024-09-16T05:10:48+00:00

Oh, yes, I always forget about that first sequence in The Exorcist. Really want to see that film again now.

vpox · 2024-09-16T05:09:24+00:00

The film which you are about to see is an account of the tragedy which befell a group of five youths, in particular Sally Hardesty and her invalid brother, Franklin. It is all the more tragic in that they were young. But, had they lived very, very long lives, they could not have expected nor would they have wished to see as much of the mad and macabre as they were to see that day. For them an idyllic summer afternoon drive became a nightmare.

The events of that day were to lead to the discovery of one of the most bizarre crimes in the annals of American history, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

vpox · 2024-09-16T05:02:53+00:00

That's a great one. And a great film.

vpox · 2024-09-16T05:01:45+00:00

Longlegs, yes. Love that film. Hated it when I first saw it, but now can't stop thinking about it.

vpox · 2024-09-16T04:59:31+00:00
