Just some guy who likes horor novels, cult movies, shoegaze, and comic books.
It was said that Cushing was so checked out during the making of Horror Express due to grief that Lee put in the extra effort to carry him in their scenes together. It goes to show how great an actor Cushing was, that even when not giving his 100%, he is better than 99% of other actors.

The old school studio system at the very least cared about entertaining their audience and getting to come and see their films. The Netflixs of the world just want to release stuff that's just about "good enough" to stop you unsubscribing.

And it's why low budget and/or under the radar genre are the best. I can't imagine a modern mainstream movie getting that nasty or bleak.

It boggles the mind that anyone could think that; the gut punch ending blatantly tells that Peter wasn't the killer.

The fact that it goes there really elevates it

Probably not, but back when MCU was at its peak, I would imagine there was some fanboy manchild crying when something like Endgame was not included in the critics' best of the year lists

Which cancelled artists have released their best work since being cancelled? I honestly can't think of any.

I didn't mean it wasn't a quality show, I meant some of those involved with it have turned out to be disappointingly terf sympathetic. Ayoade and O'Dowd have both defended Glinner. Parkinson and Berry are both involved in two new Harry Potter adaptations.

I thought this was a movie that was forgotten, rather than dismissed, but then I checked the rotten tomatoes score. This deserves far higher than 20%. An interesting riff on Jaws with Waterson in the Brody role, DeMunn as a composite of Hooper and Quint, and outbreak replacing the shark.

Man, it's great to know that Ardal O'Hanlon is a good egg. It's nice to see that outside of Linehan, the Father Ted crew seems to be pretty cool people. The less said about The IT Crowd though the better.

A man finding a woman attractive is now gay?

Either his reading comprehension is really poor or he doesn't actually care about women's safety.

The older I get the more I see that haterd really does poison the soul and removes the ability to see beauty in the world. JCO puts into words what I have been feeling and noticing for a while now.
