and by that argument, Hart Bochner is legacy casting in Die Hard.

Sam Inglis @24fpsuk.bsky.social · 4h

It would be an interesting argument to make (but, as I said, I threw it out)

Here's my (quickly assembled) attempt at this topic.

Best Horror Sequels

A list for this week's showdown topic. I think the Top 5 is, for me, correct, after that the inclusions and order get a little punchy. Also considered: Prom Night 3: The Last Kiss; Bride/Cult of Chuck...

This is an interesting topic. For instance, I'm a big fan of the Dawn of the Dead remake, and I'd like to put it on the list, but only the original (which I have tried MANY times to love, and do not) is a sequel. On the other hand, The Town That Dreaded Sundown 2014 is both remake and sequel

Sam Inglis @24fpsuk.bsky.social · 4h

That's the continuity of that set of films, but you could argue it as a sequel to Manhunter. Sadly though, I don't think I'm convinced by my own case, largely because Red Dragon exists.

Sam Inglis @24fpsuk.bsky.social · 4h

Question. Would you count The Silence of the Lambs as a sequel? TECHNICALLY it's based on a book that is a sequel to another book which was previously filmed, but given no continuity in casting, and no acknowledgement of previous events within the film, does it count?

(TBH, I remembered it as 'He'll be unstoppable. Unless we stop him', but the key part of it is just SO beautifully terrible)

Sam Inglis @24fpsuk.bsky.social · 21h

I saw this once, when it came out on VHS, but one line sticks with me. Surely one of the worst lines in a movie: "A master vampire, able to walk in the sunlight, unstoppable. Unless we stop him."

The one reason I may eventually watch Tron Ares, rather than just listen to the soundtrack.

Sam Inglis @24fpsuk.bsky.social · 1d

Two more movies (which would make seven in total), and Linnea Quigley will be my most watched actress of 2025. Yeah, why not?

A ★★½ review of Creepozoids (1987)

Exploitation producers are nothing if not resourceful. This could have come out of co-writer/co-producer/director David DeCoteau taking inventory. Okay... I've got six actors; a warehouse; a monster c...

My biggest take away from John Candy: I Like Me other than 'aww, what a nice man, I miss him in movies' is that someone has to make a documentary about Macaulay Culkin. The story he tells about Candy looking out for him tells us about him, his father and Candy all at once.

I've long thought about making a table out of some of my old VHS tapes.

Heard a couple of tracks from the new Austra album which is due in November. For me, they only really hammered home that they'll never get near this track again.

Today in 'absolutely the fuck not' (The project, not the casting... maybe also the casting... either way, Tangled is easily my favourite Disney classic of this era, it doesn't need flattening into live action and two shitty new songs added to it)

DiscussingFilm @discussingfilm.net · 2d

Scarlett Johansson is eyeing to play Mother Gothel in Disney’s live-action ‘TANGLED’ remake.

The film has been put back into development.

Just as an example of Scott Hutchison's writing.

My favourite lyricist is Scott Hutchison of Frightened Rabbit, but sadly we lost him a few years ago. Nick Cave probably has a claim to being one of the best still with us. I also love Chris Eckman's writing for The Walkabouts.

There were seven years between PS3 and 4, and then another 7 between PS4 and 5, which is already 5 years old, surely it would be silly not to imagine the PS6 is in active development. I'm just hoping Persona 6 is done in time not to be a PS6 exclusive.

IGN @ign.com · 3d

Sony tech wizard Mark Cerny has teased new graphics features he's excited to bring to "a future console in a few years time," sparking a wave of PS6 release date speculation in the process. https://bit.ly/3KFH3CQ

Aside from the single Saltburn, I think this is my favourite track from the new Yonlapa EP (though Misguided Ghost runs it close)

I LOVE Joe Dante, but The Howling (which I finally saw today after checking out MANY times in the past) just isn't the Joe Dante I love.

A ★½ review of The Howling (1981)

I'm a big Joe Dante fan, but I've tried over and over again and never, before today, got through this flm. Of course it's well made on a technical level - Dante is a great director and Rob Bottin's cr...

I've not read the novel, but I do mention the things I gleaned that are drawn from it, and not in the US or Japanese films.

Sam Inglis @24fpsuk.bsky.social · 3d

The Korean take on Ring is an interesting footnote, but not a patch on Nakata's film.

A ★★ review of The Ring Virus (1999)

This is almost a case study in how small changes can have big effects on a film's quality. There are a couple of details included here, which are apparently from the original novel, and aren't in eith...

I've not seen it yet, but it would be very funny if the Korean Ring remake, The Ring Virus, topped this list.
