A Nightmare on Elm Street hits 4K UHD disc on October 15. Here's the new trailer. The UNCUT version, with 8 seconds of additional footage, is included. The footage has previously been a bonus feature, but this is notably the first US physical release of the full uncut version.
A boomer lady not only sat directly next to me but kept looking at her phone on full brightness for most of the first act and then started fully texting WITH THE CLICKING SOUND ON until I finally snapped and asked her to put it away. Her and her man left and never came back.
I prefer John Wick 4 overall but the sequence that starts in Georgian prison and ends in a crashing train car is almost certainly going to end up being my favorite action sequence of the year.
It’s fucking weird that there was a massive title change in the biggest wrestling company on Earth last night but Jeff Jarrett appearing in GCW and attacking Effy is exponentially more exciting and intriguing.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the fact that everything that comes out is somehow the best thing ever or the worst thing ever is truly psychotic.
Gerard Way was smoking outside of our hotel in NYC one year and my friend Kevin was like “that looks like Gerard Way”. I looked, confirmed it was, made it like 3 more steps and decided to say hi and get a picture with him. I just talked about his comics and forgot about MCR.
I still don’t think
@Winter
gets enough credit for his performance in the third Bill & Ted movie. It’d be great on its own merits but when you consider he’s spent WAY more time behind the camera than in front of it over the last few decades…
I watched Evil Dead 2 again with Dani last night and at the end she was like “oh my god, I can’t wait to see what happens in the next one!” with such fervor that I asked if she was being sarcastic and she quickly responded “NO!”.
The most terrified I’ve been watching a movie as an adult. I was terrified in the theater, I was terrified to leave the theater, I was terrified to leave the car, and I spent the rest of the night I my living room with every light in my apartment turned on.
I remember watching this in the theater and it being the first time I realized how personal reading comics was because it looks exactly like Watchmen most of the time but feels nothing like Watchmen as it is in my head and I had never had that disconnect before.
I don’t think Rodriguez gets the credit he deserves for flying the genre flag in the ‘90s, an era where genre was mostly dead. He was kind of like Carpenter among the movie brats in relation to the other indie auteurs of the time and gave me a deeper appreciation of genre film.
Pump Up The Volume is on HBO Max now and I feel I should note that it’s been one of my lifelong favorites. It made me want to podcast before podcasts existed.
Upon rewatching, it occurs to me that I realize that a big part of the EEAAO backlash could really boil down to the movie ultimately being very anti-cynicism and that fact driving so many of the truly miserable bastards here absolutely feral makes all kinds of sense actually…
…so yeah, after my relationship being on life support for like a month, it’s apparently officially over. At this point, I’m just accepting that I need to be alone in life because who I am as a person does not work with other people for extended periods.
