Movie

I'm generally pretty desensitized to violence in movies but I remember the opening scene of Hellbound: Hellraiser 2 making me wince when I first saw it, mainly because it caught me off guard; I wasn't expecting the literal opening seconds of the film to have such a gory shot like that (it was almost framed like a jump scare). Definitely memorable though and lived inside my head rent-free for years

Amazing movie though, one of my favourite horror flicks

for example, i think anytime someone says a movie has “too many talking scenes” is the dumbest thing ever. it’s one thing if the dialogue isn’t engaging but this kinda criticism is just so lazy and just seems like they have a ruined attention span.

He's in two scenes, less than 10 total minutes. Denzel Washington is the lead. One of the greatest actors in history. Cheadle, Greenwood, Reilly, Badge-Dale. Non-trivial actors in supporting roles. But Goodman. Wow. Simultaneously funny, sleazy, scary, intimidating. When he's walking into the hospital, Sympathy For The Devil on the soundtrack, "I'm on the list babygirl". Holy shit. He overtakes the scenes. Admittedly in both his scenes, Denzel's character is out of it (first, due to his injuries, second, due to a drunken stupor). But still, Goodman fucking crushes it.

Come on Reddit.....give some more examples

I really enjoy it when a movie will leave me confused at the end, but compelled enough to go looking up discussions to see what people think happened. I like watching those "[Movie] Explained" videos that gather up all sorts of facts and evidence in order to find out what actually happened. These are also my favorite movies to go back and watch several times.

Movies like Donnie Darko (pre-director's cut release), Enter the Void, or anything by David Lynch.

Does anyone else like the way movies from the previous decades over today's film? Everything looks too photo corrected and sharp. If you watch movies from the 70s/80s/90s you can see the difference in each era and like how movies back then weren't overly sharp in the stock, coloration, etc.

It started to get like this in the 2000s but even then it was still tolerable.

You can see it in TV and cameras as well.

Watching old movies in HD is cool because it looks old but simultaneously cleaned up at the same time.

I wish we could go back to the way movies used to look like for purely visual reasons. I'd love a new movie that looks exactly like a 90s movie or some 80s action movie. With the same film equipment, stock, etc. used. Why aren't there innovative filmmakers attempting to do this?

I bring this up to everyone I know and none of them agree with me. The way older movies look is just so much easier on the eyes and I love the dated visual aesthetic. One of the main issues I have with appreciating today's film is that I don't like how it looks anymore. Same with TV.

I'm looking for a disturbing but interesting movie to watch. Something thought-provoking and intense, with a compelling storyline. Any recommendations?

My kid is watching Coco and it reminded me of how stunning it was on a big screen. Obviously animation is a bit different but I love the colors of the movie.

Mad Max Fury Road, Interstellar, and Blade Runner 2049 were incredible as well.

What are some of the more amazing ones that you had to see on a big screen to do it justice?

I’ve never seen the film and I’m thinking about seeing the director’s cut when it comes to imax. Not a huge horror guy so I’m a little worried about how much I’d enjoy an extended version of the film on my first watch, but I heard it’s not pure horror and it has great themes and stuff so I’m interested in checking it out. Thanks ya’ll

Edit: thank you to everyone who left a comment. Some people made it sound super interesting but after reading the common sense media listing about the violence I’m gonna safely sit this one out lmao. Maybe at home with some friends some day but sure as hell not in imax

The announcement that they got the rights back was almost a year ago!

I'll go first: Network is eerily prescient.

The reason I asked is that my screening did, which surprised me because 'Kinds of Kindness' is supposed to be a hard-R since it’s from the director of “Poor Things” while 'The Garfield Movie (2024)' is a kids' film. Although it was just a teaser and green-band, it also showed the quick-second scene where Hong Chau was licking some body part (I'm not sure what she was licking), and kids saw that. Lol.

Reason I didn’t asked this back on Sunday because I was temporarily banned from Reddit for a week until this morning.

I saw this movie yesterday and absolutely love it. The budget was $200,000 in 2007 but I'd say even with $20,000 it could have been pulled off. (For this it reminded me of 'Another Earth'.)

'The Man From Earth' only takes place in and around a house, but I could see all those scenes described as if reading a book. And yet it was distinctly not a book.

It's liberating because I've felt movie budgets have only increased — Brad Pitt's F1 movie is reportedly costing more than $300 million to make. But even with a great idea, you can potentially create a movie better than anything money can buy.

So I have this small group of friends that I sometimes have movie nights with, in which they come over to my house and we watch a movie, have pizza & snacks, and take a long walk around my neighborhood. One of our favorite movie nights was when we watched Tusk. It was such a fun and ridiculous movie to watch with a group of people. It may not be the pinnacle of cinema or anything but it’s one of my favorite moviegoing experiences in recent memory. Something similar to that would be great.
