Re watched Terminator 1. One of the best movies of all time made on a shoestring budget. Cost $1M, looks like it cost $20M, made $100M (and a billion more later).

The Terminator itself is like a serpent. Arnold disappears completely. The Tech Noir scene in particular might be one of the best scenes in movie history. Look at how his head is framed like Frankenstein's Monster in that shot. Almost every second of the Tech Noir scene does some sort of visual storytelling like that.

It's absurd how good this scene is and how much it tells a first-time viewer. It's comparable to the Dog Scene from The Thing in terms of being a scene where the world as we know it is completely shattered in the span of a minute. It's a through the looking glass moment where the illusion of safety falls away. A little later is the police station scene, which is where any remaining "yeah but he can be stopped right?" gets crushed.

The deleted scenes are powerful. We find out that Lt Traxler was the one person who believed Reese, and he tells them how to escape the station (and also tells Reese to protect Sarah) while he lay dying. We also see Reese breaking down in the woods because he's never seen a green forest before. I get why they cut these scenes, they're pretty goddamn sad.

10/10 movie, obviously. After all the modern garbage I watched the past month, this was just unbelievably good.
The Terminator > T2.

it’s just a better movie all around.

Huh, I didn't know about the deleted scenes, but they sound great. Was it from a bonus feature on a Blu-ray or is there an assembly cut available?

7/10, one of the more clever horror movies I have seen in recent years. Main character isn't a drooling idiot which is nice, however too much of it is too dark and while it is in service of the story it's getting annoying only being able to 10% of the screen for long stretches. Too many movies are doing this and it's annoying. Also, I am tired of so many movies going, "dialogue" and then "SOUND EFFECTS" come along. Fucking jackasses need to reevaluate their audio mixing and no I am not buying a sound system for my tv, fuck off.

I said fuck off!

Stupid economy.

Just watched this again. Loved it as a teen. "Future" is almost 20 years ago..... wtf.

Old classic to me. We need to get bigger guns. Big fucking guns!

8/10

Rutger Hauer did so much garbage to fuel his cocaine habit and I love him for it. He's was the best part of any straight to home video production.

got around to watching this (again) this morning.


Now I didn't watch the extra special razzle dazzle Lucas fucked it in the ass a lot edition, no I watched the 'despecialized' edition. The same one released in the theater in 1980, warts and all.
10/10 would bang, and do a line with Carrie Fisher!

Btw if you don't know;

EDIT: Hit save too fast. I tried the 4K version of New Hope. Showed way too many flaws. These are 720P and look great on my 4K TV.

Busboys - this is fucking painful to watch. I can't rightly pin down what is salvageable here outside of one single man, the guy from The Chair Company who got tricked into working naked, pulling out 3-4 laughs from an abysmal script. It is nonsensical, none of the jokes land, it squanders an exceptional amount of talent, and it makes me second-guess if anybody involved (outside of The Chair Company guy) is even funny in the first place. David Spade seems to think that it's Joe Dirt 3, Theo Von may actually be a retarded person, and Tim DIllon is somehow terrible at his snarky schtick within the context of what he is given.

It is one of the stranger comedies that I've ever seen. It is almost experimental uncomfort humor where it's just taunting you with things to make you not laugh.

I just watched Apex (2026).
2/10, It's a Charlize Theron movie, starring Charlize theron, picturing charlize theron, produced by charlize theron, directed by charlize theron. 95% of the moving is her doing a face in a forest / jungle.
I put 2/10 and not 1/10 because the landscape are ok.

Enola Holmes 3. 1st movie was good, 2 was barely meh. In this, Sherlock and Watson are gay. Watson is a street shidder. Moriarty is a black woman. Enola constantly goes on about how clever she is.

0/10.

The Whistle

1783211233249.png


Dafne Keen (from Logan and the newest Deadpool movie) plays a recovering drug addict moving in with some relatives in a rust belt city. She discovers a strange whistle in the locker of a student that had recently died under unusual circumstances. After one of her new acquaintances blows it they discover that anyone that hears it will be hunted by their own death. However you would have died at the end of your life you will die from now.

The opening death is kind of odd as you don't understand why it took the shape it did until later but the early stuff with Chrys (our lead) is alright. I like how it's shot with the "dying steel mill town around Halloween" setting. Unfortunately it's got some annoying tropes where our Christian youth pastor is selling drugs and one of our antagonists, black jock dude paired with the blonde girl who is being pined for by the weirdo dork white kid (lines include "maybe I'll let you watch" from the jock as he makes humping motions) along with a lesbian romance. The current year messaging isn't too egregious but I can't not see it. Some of the deaths are visually interesting but we're really just kind of ripping off Final Destination to then rip off Flatliners for the climax. Overall it's a watchable 3/10. Compared to Obsession, Backrooms or Hokum it's like a one.

Zero. The ghosts we did get were corrupted versions of the characters that each visually represented how they would die. Some of the effects were really good and some were not.

I was totally going to watch this movie because of the Aztec ghost people which was my original theory when somebody posted the trailer. Kind of pisses me off. They should have leaned hard into that concept.
