That cover rules

 

Been wanting to subscribe to Fangoria for awhile. Might be time to pull the trigger.

 

man I totally forgot Stephen King straight up wrote an X-Files episode lmao. it's more just good than great but the cred from that alone is absurd. can only imagine how insufferable I'd be if I acted in an episode King wrote

 

Hosting an X//Pearl double-feature at my house this weekend before out group catches Maxxxine and Longlegs on the 14th!

 

Is this an invite to the whole thread??

 

If y'all can get your asses here, you are absolutely welcome!!

 

Just rewatched them both over the weekend to get ahead of the Wednesday showing of Maxxxine. It's a lot of fun going right from Pearl back into X. It's fun seeing West tackle these different sub-genres and styles with early 20th century bright "picktcha show" in Pearl and then 70's exploitation in X. Can't wait for the grimy 80's in Maxxxine. Side note here (and I never thought I'd say this) but the consistent homages and nods to TCM in X actually got to be a tad bit too much for this go-around. So many of those gigantic wide shots set against the horizon, which admittedly I love but still

 

Dang Shudder is getting Arcadian in like 2 weeks

 

My birthday is in November, I'll accept a plane ticket as an early gift ty

 

VinSyn sales week! Frostbiter is a must watch, imo, and Jungle Trap is very fun.

I doubt they’d mess up on the marketing now and spoil something, but I’m skipping this trailer just in case. But here is the final trailer for anyone that does want to watch

 

Yeah I'm out on all future Longlegs promo at this point

 

I’m gonna pass as well tho it’s very tempting

 

Alien 3 is such a cool premise and had so much opportunity! The cgi gets so dreadful as it goes on and it definitely drags but it’s fun to think of what could have been if Fincher had been given more freedom and trust

 

I hear the directors cut gives far more insight into what that would’ve been like but haven’t seen it because i fucking hate that movie and I guess the little snobbishness I still hold to comes out there

 

I absolutely get it haha Fincher is also my favorite director so it kills me to know his first film was..this

 

yeah I really admire him and it’s crushing to know he never got to deliver his real vision for it

 

I dug In A Violent Nature. Folks were not kidding about that one kill.

Also saw Quiet Place Day One in theaters over the weekend and enjoyed that one too.

Bring on Longlegs!

 

me outside your door

 

Alien 3 gang rise up, assembly cut rules

I'm just starting the horror celebrations early this year with all the good shit coming out this month. reading Angel of Indian Lake and finally watching Hell House Origins rn, it's pretty good!

 

Yeah I really liked the assembly cut of Alien 3. It still has some issues and janky cgi but there's a lot of cool stuff.

 

I assume the Assembly Cut is something you probably have to buy or own

 

Yeah, it's part of the Alien Anthology/Quadrilogy box set. It is indeed quite good. What I love about that franchise is that every movie has kind of a different tone to it. Alien is a sci-fi horror film, Aliens is an action-horror film, Alien 3 is a character drama of sorts, and Resurrection is a straight-up B-movie (same with AVP, but with better results). Then you get Prometheus returning slightly to the original's formula while delivering new mythology and Covenant blending the mythology of Prometheus with the first two films. They're not exactly consistent in quality, but even in regards to sequels, there's likely some kind of variation you'll enjoy.
