Evan Waters: I'll say quickly that I think Martyrs offers a level of catharsis. Closure? I dunno… Why do everyone seem to need such a thing?

Matt Martinez: I really don't want want or mean to reply arbitrarily to what you've said; all points are very arguably valid. I work, I'm tired, and despite that, I'm goin' drinkin'. So, in essence, I say:

Ok…why is Inside generally thought of more highly than every other stupid slasher movie? Some guesses include:

Are you implying that you don't like this movie, Corleone? If so, say it a few more times, each with increasing pompousity, just to be safe.

Hey O: Yes, that's 'Calvaire', but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for that moment. That'd be comparable to sponsering 'Cabin Fever' for the random blond kung-fu kid. High price/small return.

Also check Trent in a blazer, doing some kind of "80s synth bop", as a keyboardist in the 1987 Michael J. Fox/Joan Jett classic 'Light of Day'…

Was it?

HipsterD:

Don't be bothered by it…especially considering that when this article was intially posted two and a half years, Antichrist hadn't been released to audiences yet.

Because that's what he does, Balls. Lobsters 1 had his fair share of attention for being a contradictory asshole for a while, and then when people started ignoring that, it seems he tried to somewhat assimilate into the vaguely unfunny, boring persona we see now. He seems smart enough to know better, but he can't…

[REC] 2 worked for me as well. It's rare a sequel can retain an original's atmosphere, add to the "mythology", and remain scary/unsettling without feeling like it's overreaching. Both are well worth an evening's time.

….Are we having fun yet?

INSIDE
Anyone get past the awful "Dimension Extreme" DVD cover art and see this? It's NUTS — brutal, relentless, and well made. French film starring the (always) legitimately disquieting Beatrice Dalle. I can very easily see people being turned off by any number of things that happen therein, but it's pretty…

Yes, underrated movie. He's not an anti-hero though.

Murdering, drug dealing bad guy. A children's hospital is cute and all…maybe we can send a bunch of orphans there after the King of NY kills their parents for a buck.

Hmm—not really. Stretching (or redefining) at this point.

I think the gentleman's line of work, or at least his crushing apathy toward watching any number of wrongly imprisoned people waste away emotionally, is worth a few broken teeth.

The character of Harry, incidentally, is pretty much what I'd picture Lobsters 1 actually looking like. Jusy sayin'…

Oh, and Ghost of Dai: It doesn't make him a hack. Just typical internet navel-gazing. But whatever…Korine and Noe won't be getting 'Just a Nigga that Likes Titties' hard earned money, and 'Just a Nigga that Likes Titties' won't stop them from making movies.

Unlike a some dickhead's hat, a film can be "out of sight, out of mind" by not purchasing a ticket, but maybe that's not the point*.
