All the previews and commercials I’ve seen for it make it seem like X-Files but with more of a Fringe or BPRD feel. Like the government isn’t collaborating with or covering up the antagonists, they know there is weird paranormal shit out there and want to handle it so they send in a good looking male/female duo who…

Oh yeah I remember when Harbaugh was losing his mind during that Pats/Ravens playoff game where they kept using an extra linemen that reported and he couldn’t figure out how to stop the plays and New England came back and won. Then Belichick was like, “Harbaugh should have read the rule book” or something pithy like…

this comment and your user name both deserve a +1

haha I came here to say something like this. If he can make Gase torture himself like this then he could probably get a lot of very smart ferrets to torture themselves as well.

Nah, it is Lore trying to mimic a smile. Cause he’s evil.

I mean I know comics can recycle ideas but Superman getting dosed by Joker (or Scarecrow) has happened several times in recent memory. If you include Poison Ivy in that list I can probably name five times off the top of my head that Supes has found himself in this exact sort of scenario. The art of this sounds great…

I agree, Batman Who Laughs made a bit of a splash in that Dark Nights: Metal done up like Penance (from X-men) and dragging around his pack of Robins but the dude has just been insufferable since then. Like he’s the Joker with Batman’s genius... ok, isn’t the Joker also a genius? At killing people and making evil…

it was meant to be

“She’s got a serrated edge
That she moves back and forth
It’s such a simple machine
She doesn’t have to use force
When she gets what she wants
She puts the rest on a tray in a ziplock bag
...in the freezer”—Italian Leather Sofa

So in the inevitable X-Men reboot you’re saying she should be Emma Frost? Actually, that is a perfect idea. She’ll still look the same in ten years when they do this.

Yeah I enjoy both the creeping dread atmospheric horror genre and the thriller black comedy one, so if this is a mix of the two I’ll go home happy. Like, “The Witch” but funnier and with Pattinson/Defoe.

I saw a recently released British/Danish movie, I can’t remember the name sorry, that was set not all that long ago and featured a manned lighthouse crew on some remote Scottish islands. It was pretty good, also turned into a crime movie, so that genre might help you find it. It was on Amazon Prime too.

They did the same thing when I saw Joker! The short one then the long one. Not sure if that was a regional thing or specific to a theater chain or just mandated that they do that for every Joker showing in every theater.

I agree, I’ve heard about this movie for ages and the combination of the setting, cast (all two of em!), director, atmosphere, tone, the trailer, potential sea monsters, alcohol, phallic imagery, and so on all agree with my sensibilities. I’m also excited to see how the black and white/aspect work in theaters, i hope…

Bill Skarsgårdis probably ahead of the rest of the cast, but he has the advantage of youth. Young Willem Defoe could probably beat him. Even though Defoe has always had an old dude face, his cheekbones in stuff like “Wild at Heart” and “Platoon” were super enviable.

Nah Defoe just grows/sheds facial hair at will.

I don’t think “Chasing Amy” really ages that well but it was good at the time, though I was a loooot younger when i saw it the first time. I’m 29 now and saw it again recently, not a fan. Still like Mallrats and Dogma though!

Yeah with Smith I would rather hear him talk about ideas for movies and stories and then have him pass off the technical work of filming/casting etc. to other people. His best one was “Dogma” but a lot of the others seem like good ideas that just failed to be transformed to their final forms.

I liked Mall Rats as well.

I still really enjoyed the cast. Like, part of the time it seemed like Smith was just letting them do whatever they felt like and improvise (I’m not sure if that is true, just the impression that I got) and i think it worked. Like, he had a lot of talent for that one. Rickman, Hayek, Rock, Carlin, in addition to…
