    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Why didn't they just use WETA for all of the special effects?

    The Black Phone (2022)

    He generally does a really great job digging into whatever type that he's cast in. He's got a few weird and campy roles where he goes ham but he's also more than capable of just knocking shit out of the park and making you lose sight that he's Ethan Hawke. Not along the horror line but he did an...

    Nope (2022)

    Yeah, I'd agree. Get Out is his most complete movie although it leaves a lot to be desired. He's got a kind of Stephen King thing going on where he has decent premises but has no idea how to flesh them out into a complete story or end them properly. He also generally gets too far up his own ass...

    Single greatest song ever written?

    The obvious answer to what is the best song ever written is Chris Isaak's Wicked Game

    Single greatest song ever written?

    I would say that this is Radiohead's best song ever As far as best song ever something from Stax has to be thrown in. Otis and Sam & Dave and Booker T. & the MGs blew the lid off of things

    Crimes of the Future

    This was pretty bad. It had the Cronenberg design flair going for it but it felt completely forced and almost like he was counting on his bio-tech sketches brought to life in film to carry things as if he was Giger. The music was awful and that, combined with the editing, was really trying to...

    Watcher (2022)

    I watched this during a recent binge of 4 new horror/suspense movies. This was really well done and was very suspenseful and atmospheric. I've seen it done a couple times so far but the fish out of water trope has turned into a very useful foil to modern technology and the ever present issue of...

    The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2021)

    I 100% agree but I did find it a refreshing turn from the Mandy style Cage being Cage movies to this just being comedy. Him and Pascal played really well off of each other, for some reason him shouting "not the bees" when talking about his alternate belt buckle really got me right at the end...

    Better Call Saul

    I kind of hate Lalo as a character. He's a great actor and his actions move the plot forward but he just feels much too neatly placed almost all of the time and what he does feels out of place and too convenient. Walter White and science got replaced by Jimmy and grifting really well for driving...

    The Northman (2022)

    Immediately after finishing this I also thought that it was no Valhalla Rising. This didn't even feel like an Eggers movie after watching his previous two. He does surreal deep dives into specific periods and this just felt like art house viking movie compared to the atmosphere and tone and...

    Broadcast Signal Intrusion (2021)

    This was a pretty great neo-noire suspense horror. It's on Shudder right now also. A lot of really weird imagery and a lot of great tension building. A few story elements feel a bit scattershot but that ends up tying well into the themes or paranoia and forcing a hypothesis to match the desired...

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    Is new Jack going to replace old Jack? I was a bit iffy on The Boys guy at first but it ended up being a great episode. He was probably the most reserved of all of their guests and seemed to fit in with the discussion much more naturally than any of the others.

    Solasta: Crown of the Magister

    main, haven't started up the DLC yet. The end of the main campaign was anticlimactically very frustrating

    Solasta: Crown of the Magister

    I ran ranger, rogue, cleric and paladin for my first playthrough and had some rough spots but ended up clearing everything. I think that my cleric ended up being the MVP for the playthrough. Being able to cast sunlight with at least one character is almost necessary but other than that I think...

    X

    Of all the Ti West movies this is my least favorite one. This one is so retro that it's just already been done and been done just as well. It ended up feeling like it went too meta, the director in the movie was going to elevate porn above just being porn and this seemed like it was elevating...

    From

    This feels like it's going to be pure Lost mystery box at this point. They just keep adding more and more things and haven't resolved anything yet. Final episode looks like it's adding even more from the synopsis. It's an interesting enough premise but it's not like they've been renewed for...

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    Neighbors didn't complain, probably due to being in a historic neighborhood filled with a bunch of people that have a lot of weird animals (and you're right, they most likely would have eventually since he was still young and hadn't gotten into full rooster asshole mode yet), but the rooster...

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    holy shit, does anybody have any advice for how to deal with keeping a rooster quieter? I bought 4 chicks in Nov that were all supposed to be female but one ended up being male. Probably being too sentimental with him but I built him his own coop and put him as far away from the hens as I could...

    Sound design was top notch in this. There were so many bizarre ambient sounds included in the score and just thrown in from time to time that sound almost identical to weird house sounds or something that people would find to be unsettling in normal everyday life that I often found myself...

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    I just re-watched it again the other day to see if I was remembering it all correctly. It goes in so many directions. It starts off like a modern, jump scare, almost retelling of The Ring in the intro but with no rules, you just kind of have to piece them together. Then it has an almost neo...

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    The Empty Man is kind of a weird gem, pretty much like they were saying. The length part that they didn't like is due to an incredibly bizarre opening that goes on for a while. I had thought that Amazon was showing me the wrong movie at first because the opening is so unlike what I was expecting...

    Screenwriting

    Also, mail a copy of your scripts, stories, novels and poems to yourself then just file them away so you have the postmark officially dating your work in case somebody tries to steal your stuff. It's the poor man's copyright but an incredibly effective and easy way to hold onto IP.

    I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson

    His episode of The Characters is the best one by far. He's also cowrote Detroiters with Sam Richardson. If you like I think You Should Leave he's pretty consistent with his style and it's prevalent in all of his other projects. Even his stuff on SNL was great. Detroiters (TV Series 2017–2018)...

    Dexter: New Blood

    Something should have wrapped back to the red herring. Just abruptly dropping that when it was no longer needed was terrible writing.

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    There are a couple pieces in place to make the skeleton of this but it really doesn't operate like you're describing. The NPC visitors tries to add random citizens to your town but they kind of just wander around and then get pissed off when you won't let them out through the locked gates after...

    Sadly all of my friends from when I was growing up turned out this way. It really puts things into stark perspective on how being raised properly affects every part of your entire life going forward. All of my childhood friends had the cool parents that would let them do whatever they wanted and...
