"adulteress's punishment" off the cannibal holocaust soundtrack is a magnificently queasy piece of music, both in the film and on its own.

sinister? american horror story? fraggle rock? y'all …………………………………

yes, but it's a bad one.

but he would, i think. and that stems from what other people (and robinson on the dissolve) have noted: king is just too nice to jack. kubrick doesn't have time for that.

noroi the curse ———-

in short: "no." kinda tired of the "but he's crazy form the start!" criticism. like, yeah - he's already an abusive piece of shit and that's what the hotel preys on.

yeah. but theirs were … good? repulsion evinces way more craft and brains than anything roth has ever done.

hahahahahahaha for real? eli roth wants to make movies on the level of coppola, herzog, and polanski. do u i guess

it's perfect. who are these clowns. that song with this show is like a middle finger to kick off each episode

shades of les revenants here!!!

oh, and green room is awesome. IT'S HOW MANY PEOPLE I CAN KILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

i walked out of the witch feeling shellshocked. granted, i was a little drunk, but still. it felt terrifying on a very base, primal level; i think that's borne out by how many folkloric tropes the film twists just enough to be initially unrecognizable.

kier-la is amazing. was really disappointed w/ baskin; felt like it ended just when something could've happened.

the gore

1. the knife going into his eye is edited in such a way to be NEARLY incomprehensible
2. what the fuck is with his scream?
3. fuck eli roth

the gore

mcintosh honest to god, singlehandedly, makes me want to join gamergate. the irony of him spouting that made-up "filmic dissonance" shit while being utterly unable to parse a straightforward action movie was delicious

sarkeesian's (and worse, mcintosh's) mad max stuff missed the mark for me, specifically in her reading of the "hosing down" scene, which is just not supported by the film :/

yeah, wasn't expecting a deep dive into harvey milk after the killers and kanye haha

hyams should do rousey's road house
