Loved Thanksgiving, guys. It's a Wonderful Knife was so bad I'm shocked it wasn't a Fear Street sequel. Happy New Year, lads.

He posted on his Community tab here: https://youtube.com/@JKenjiLopezAlt?si=rNF4dTiObXbK1E9b You guys should have him on! It would be wholesome to see Kenji and Rich cooking or grocery shopping together

2024-01-04 12:23:59 +0000 UTCI watched There’s Something In the Barn with a group of Norwegians on New Year’s Day morning. Apparently a lot of the ‘lore’ is pretty accurate and it is the best movie we have seen this year.

2023-12-30 19:19:04 +0000 UTCI can't believe I'm dying on the hill of "It's a Wonderful Knife", but I found it entertaining enough in spite of its problems. One of which is that modern comedy screenwriters seem mostly motivated by the need to prove that they would be brilliant party guests. Since the hypnotized townspeople at the end had a green glow in their eyes, I figured it had something to do with the aurora borealis that time-traveled the lead character in the first place. Maybe I'm reading intelligence into a scene where there was none, but it got the point across that the killer didn't need to operate in the shadows anymore. I also figured that Winnie and Bernie's attraction grew out of the fact that they were the only ones sympathetic to each other's plights. I thought it was fine. A comedy with no jokes? Come on, there was a great appearance of the comedic rule of threes when three characters made disgust noises at a sappy couple in love, only for it to turn out the third character made the noise because she was being stabbed. A horror movie where everything is safe? The lead character's relatives all turn out to be dead, about-to-be-dead, or about-to-make-other-people-dead. And no one believed her except the most outcast person in town. Honestly, if your inspiration is one of the most feel-good movies of all time, you shouldn't go Italian Cannibal.

2023-12-30 18:02:46 +0000 UTCThe AI knew to leave room for a sequel! Or maybe AI understands the spirit of forgiveness, especially for crappy gifts and stabbing.

2023-12-30 16:26:13 +0000 UTCThat’s 1st movie they talked about sounds like Hot Fuzz cuz the mayor sounds like the chief of police in Hot Fuzz. Wanting to kill whoever objects or gets in the way of their growth.

2023-12-30 13:08:31 +0000 UTCI can’t let this go: Joel McHale’s character in It’s A Wonderful Knife was an outright bad guy that gets zero comeuppance. In the original timeline, he’s the mayor’s stooge with zero spine, helping bully Cigarette Smoking Man into selling. Then, a year later, he’s favoring his son over his daughter, ignoring her future and getting her workout clothes for Christmas while he partners with his son and buys him a new truck. Then, in the alternate timeline, he’s off COMMITTING MURDERS, which his daughter stops by KILLING HIM. But then, in the end, the timeline reverts, and he’s seen giving Winnie a camera for Christmas and… all is well? Winnie still has a terrible, spineless, potential serial killer for a dad. 🤯

2023-12-30 07:15:32 +0000 UTCThank you for including the poster for my movie A Corpse For Christmas in your video… even if the context was to just group it with a bunch of “cheap, crappy Christmas horror movies”. Haha. Though I personally think its worlds beyond Christmas Craft Fair Massacre that’s it’s shown next to, I’m still honored that you even know it exists. -Brewce Longo,

2023-12-30 03:19:21 +0000 UTCOkay, so I'm reading a book where Claude Sautet (some French slasher movie guy) is interviewed on all of his movies. And one of his main actors, Daniel Auteuil, says that Sautet always wanted filmmaking to be an adventure, an experience that changes everybody involved in the process. So exactly what an AI does.

2023-12-29 22:46:21 +0000 UTCThat’d be a good one for next Christmas BOTW. What an odd little film.

2023-12-29 22:37:03 +0000 UTCI saw the face of Clint Howard in the background. From probably his best film.

2023-12-29 22:34:44 +0000 UTCThe next time Mac pays you a visit, you need to do dial code Santa Claus, it definitely inspired home alone. it's got great cinematography and is a pretty decent movie

2023-12-29 22:14:48 +0000 UTCAlso, that Black Friday Sale scene in the beginning is fucking brilliant...

2023-12-29 22:04:56 +0000 UTCI was worried you two were going to shit on Thanksgiving. I was pleasantly surprised by how much of an entertaining slasher it was and impressed by how much it made creative use of the holiday in the horror elements

2023-12-29 19:24:41 +0000 UTCI can't give Eli Roth any credit for his "enthusiasm for film" anymore ever since Green Inferno started bombing and his near-release interviews about it of pivoted from "Yes this is my loving tribute to these these Italian movies" to "this is MY treatise on the woke agenda ruining our children" grifter shit.

2023-12-29 19:17:29 +0000 UTCWhen I saw the trailer, I was absolutely shocked that it hadn’t been done before (was unaware of the fake trailer in Grindhouse). I gushed to my wife about what a brilliant idea it was and since she hates horror movies, she looked at me like I was some sort of psycho Pilgrim.

2023-12-29 18:41:38 +0000 UTCHonestly this makes me wonder how many new novels coming out are AI driven. Like movies every book plot is expected to be exactly the same. Same thing with the girl whose debut novel was pulled because she was caught posting fake reviews on a rival’s goodreads page. I’m pretty sure that is SOP and she just happened to do it poorly.

2023-12-29 17:56:28 +0000 UTC1.) The horror possibilities of Its A Wonderful Life are potentially good. Like, George Bailey running through his town and he never existed genuinely freaked me out as a kid. 2.) We need a horror film that's set on the *set* of a 'Hallmark' style movie. "the Cozy Killer" or something. Victims are strangled with flannel, boiled alive in hot chocolate, impaled on Christmas trees, etc.

2023-12-29 17:53:07 +0000 UTCAlso, good job Mike promoting Vancouver to an entire province. Fuck British Columbia, that’s like two other countries! They have no place in Canada, who cares what King Charles thinks #notmymonarch
Banta
2023-12-29 17:48:26 +0000 UTCQuick, someone tell me this exists already: Citizen Caned… about a killer who goes around beating people to death with his walking stick named, I don’t know, Tulip Petal?
