The good writer is unfortunately a shit person though.

 

2 is the best Hellraiser

 

yeah if you mean Fukunaga he sucks. but I don't know how much of his script for IT they even used anyway, from what I've read they heavily rewrote it after he left

 

As far as I was aware, it was basically his script. But idk what the rules are with claiming what work was done or redone. I just know IT is good while the sequel isn’t and True Detective season 1 is good while the following season isn’t. At least that’s my opinion. Feels like a common thread there, but that’s just me guessing. Lol I really do remember reading somewhere that it the script was mostly kept the same. I wouldn’t be shocked if I was wrong though.

Also sorry, I hope that original comment didn’t come off as me coming at you for saying he’s good or something. I really meant that it was unfortunate that was the case.

 

Watched City of the Living Dead, a much better Fulci zombie than Zombie

 

Sadly a common theme

 

no haha I'm totally with you, he's a shitty dude and it's worth saying. was just going off some stuff I read where Muschietti said they added a lot of the shapechanging Pennywise stuff after Fukunaga left, like the painting that Stan is scared of which is specifically based on something from Andy's childhood. I guess it's impossible to know for sure with these movies that get rewritten like 5 times haha

 

The Substance. Holy shit hahah

 

Ok abandoned the new Salems Lot movie.

gonna watch Hellraiser 2 instead

 

The decision to make Salem's Lot period to the era the book was written and not set in the contemporary era was great.

 

yeah hellraiser 2 is like so much better than the first one haha

 

THE DOCTOR.... IS IN

 

It's What's Inside was a fun time. Nothing spectacular. A little bit of Talk to Me, Bodies Bodies Bodies, and a splash of Euphoria? (the way it's stylized more than anything lol)

 

It's definitely going to get compared to Talk to Me and Bodies, Bodies, Bodies. I loved it though when I saw it last year. So I'm excited to see how it's held up.

 

VHS tonight and probably What’s Inside tomorrow

 

Watching OG Frankenstein this morning on the Criterion Channel

 

new Salem's Lot was fine imo, not great but not bad. obviously cut out a lot of the character work from the novel which I was prepared for going in, but Father Callahan especially is absolutely gutted which is gonna be a big point of contention with King die-hards lol. most of the actors were fine but the dude who played Straker was overdoing it super hard, more camp than creepy

I will say for a film directed by a writer it looked great, stylish shots and great use of colours throughout. some very entertaining kills too. kinda liked it more towards the end when it just fully embraced being a goofy let's kill vampires movie but I was also getting more buzzed by then

 

goddamn forgot VHS Beyond was out today too. too much stuff to watch

 

Anyone in here interested in the Silent Hill 2 remake that comes out next week? The original is one of my favorite games of all time so I'm skeptical but I've read good things from initial reviews.

 

I was interested once I started hearing it was actually good. I just watched this an hour ago and it sold me though. I’m broke though so it’ll be awhile for me. Lol

 

I want to get the game eventually but $70 for a remake is nuts lol

 

Oh wow they really liked it!

 

Yeah I'm by no means a gamer (I'll play the new RE games when they come out) but I have friends who buy up so many new titles upon release and I just don't see how it's sustainable. It's so expensive in general

 

Watched Fright Night for the first time last night and it rocked, the music is so good!

 

Damn, Chris Lamartina of WNUF fame released a Halloween mix CD-R but I missed it.
