Good Movies / Re: London After Midnight
Last post by M.10rda - Today at 11:20:49 AMI agree that the old listings could be wholly in error or, worse, could be pure charlatanry. But I'd love to know for sure.

Entertainment / Re: What Video Game are You Pl...
Last post by M.10rda - Today at 11:15:47 AM^^^ /s? Or is that a real game?
I've been (incrementally) playing a nearly 20-year old console port based on QUANTUM OF SOLACE... which jumps from action sequence to action sequence while providing very little or no explanation for how Bond gets from one city or continent to another or why... which is fine, actually, because QOS was pretty boring iirc. There is a little variety in gameplay but mostly it's just Bond dashing from one source of cover to another, then ducking out to shoot an endless parade of bad guys, which....... again, is quite fine, as that's all I tend to have energy or attention span for before bedtime. Also the levels are mostly pretty quick/short, which again is actually ideal since (as w/ so many unholy console ports) it has no option to save anywhere, so if I get killed I'm reverted to some arbitrary checkpoint and lose precious minutes of my life. Then again I am playing a nearly 20-year old console port based on QUANTUM OF SOLACE, so perhaps I shouldn't complain about my precious time being wasted.

EXPLODING COWS FROM MARS?
If you have a windows 11 computer, you have CoPilot (it's also available for Windows 10). I just asked it "make me a poster for the fake movie 'Exploding Cows from Mars'" You can customize your request with specific styles or items you want included on the poster.

Last post by Rev. Powell - Today at 08:52:17 AMQuote from: Dr. Whom on Today at 01:23:10 AMThe Capsule (2012)
Six girls arrive in bizarre ways at a convent-like institution where they are trained by a seventh, who may or may not be a vampire
It turns the bizarre and the weird up to eleven from the first minute, in a way that reminded me Lanthimos.
Surprised I hadn't heard of it, but then I saw it was a short.
NIGHT OF THE KINGS (2020): A young man is sent to a maximum security prison in the Ivory Coast, where he finds himself anointed "storyteller" in a bizarre inmate ritual. With the cellblock ruled over like a fiefdom by the dying Lord Blackbeard, it's a fascinating creation of a unique penal subculture, with the story-within-a-story echoing "Arabian Nights." Quality-wise it's likely a 4.5/5, but it didn't really stick with me so... 4/5. Best movie I've seen from Ivory Coast.

Television / Re: Stranger Things. Season 5.
Last post by M.10rda - Today at 08:29:22 AMThe 11 "resolution" is lifted directly from Frank Miller's DAREDEVIL Issue #190. Ah well, steal from the best.
I agree that the action undelivered but oddly the final 25 minutes of sentimental goodbyes was my favorite part of the season. I'm not a big fan of lengthy, laborious "sentimental goodbyes" at the end of high-conflict fantasy/action/adventure et al, but somehow the Duffers handled it well. (I wasn't going to be at all happy if Steve or Dustin or Max sacrificed themselves so I can't complain about their lengthy send-offs.)
A recreation of a conversation with my brother-in-law:
BRENT: It just went on forever. Just everyone being sad and saying goodbye to each other. Way too long.
ME: I get your point... similar issue to the end of the last LORD OF THE RINGS movie... forty-five minutes of unnecessary tearful homoerotic gazing...
BRENT: (Baffled look.) What are you talking about? That was awesome!

Last post by M.10rda - Today at 07:14:51 AMJOURNEY TO THE FAR SIDE OF THE SUN isn't very good... there are interesting moments but it definitely isn't a horror movie. ALIEN COVENANT, whatever its faults, wouldn't have been improved by an Anderson/Parrish version!
