I fucking hate Friday the 13th 7: The New Blood. Tina is a n n o y i n g, with a capital "AH!" "The MPAA raped my movie." Yeah, okay John Carl Buechler. I love John's work as far as effects go (well, not Halloween 4; I think he pulled the mask before it was fully cured, but he supposedly had the cast that Don Post used), but he used Friday the 13th 7 as a calling card for his effects company. It was meant to be an effects reel with a meaningless plot/story and nothing else much to offer. By the way, Jason without the makeup "does look like shit" to quote Dennis Hopper. He apparently wanted even more of that shit in the film.Also been binging all of the Friday the 13th movies. Even Jason Takes Manhattan
Jason Takes Manhattan, on the other hand, is much more enjoyable.

Tried The Killers from 1964. It felt like a shitty TV show, so we bailed, and now we're trying Death Watch from 1980. This one is really cool so far. I love Harvey Keitel always, and I'm fucking loving Romy Schneider. She plays her role with a great quiet intelligence and confidence of the style you just don't see in many movies. Makes me want to hang out with her.

Hereditary is so incredible. I wish I could show it to my wife, but the grief of the mother would be too much for her to take. I thought it was just so well done. I think the only thing I regretted was that Gabriel Byrne was underutilized. He's such a great and cool actor, and I felt like he might've been wasted in that.

Actually, I think the underutilization was what made his performance. He's trying to keep his shit for his families sake and be the SANE one. Throughout. His performance at the table after the big fight, his scene at the stoplight where he microloses it; perfection.

Never seen it, but it’s not surprising being an Ari Aster movie. Midsommar and Beau Is Afraid are both mind-fucks. I’ll check it out.

Midsommar is great as well! I'm afraid of Beau Is Afraid though
Like; it's TOO tripped out?

We finished Death Watch. Wow, that one hit me deeply. It felt like reading a novel, which is what I always hope for in a film. This is one I could see myself watching over and over again. The tone, pace, writing, directing, and acting are all just perfect for me. This was a true gift to see.

I must have some kind of visual stimulation disorder. I can't watch none of this
new TV. None of it. I keep trying.
It just craters my system and leaves me feeling overstimulated and
borderline repulsed. Nature would force mt to ingest 1,000 murders in 2 hours.
TV is just really fucking dark these days. Product of our times? Projecting our worst
fears about humanity and each other onto the screen so we can relive the trauma
of history?
I don't fucking know. I just know I am a bona fide Puss and can't make it through
anything other than Cooking Shows these days.
Someone hold me.

Watched Apollo 11 last night. If you’re a rocket nerd like me, I highly recommend it. It’s a documentary, but there is ZERO narration. Just amazing views and sounds that have been digitally cleaned up. Truly the best Apollo 11 footage I’ve ever seen.

My current fascination is watching Sebastian Back star in "Worst Cooks In America."

People complained too much about movies prior to the mid ti late 90s being "cheesy" and/or "corny," so they've made everything overly serious and repulsive. It's a major turn off. Smear the ugly horror movie Adobe filter on everything while the director of photography collects a big paycheck, and add far too much cynicism and overly serious storyline. Modern filmmaking 101.I must have some kind of visual stimulation disorder. I can't watch none of this

At least Terrifier is beyond absurd in its insanity, which I love.

It's shot in the dark, then they use a filter to make it even darker.Shit is getting shot in bleak/dark settings, too. WTF? I get creating a mood with
lighting----but I can't see shit as it is. How about a little bit of light on the set,
or ramp up that ISO on your cammies bitches!!
Old guy old guying.
It's not "old guy old guying." It is lazy, overpaid pricks being useless assholes. From the 80s on back to the beginning, they knew how to light scenes well, even in a lot of the cheap films. They knew how to pick color palettes to add to the vibe and texture of the film.
