Aja definitely was aware of Intensity, right? Has it ever been acknowledged that he ripped it off?

"You are going to be the face for the guy who made Jaws" would be more than enough to win me over.

Yea, it's not fucking good at all. Frankly, I don't think any of those French Extreme Horror guys do anything even halfway decent. Aja's High Tension probably gets closest, but the twist ruins it. It's also a direct fucking knock off of a Dean Koontz story, Intensity.

I'd definitely argue that Rob Zombie never made a good movie.

Can you imagine someone being like "Spielberg, one of our greatest living directors, is going to make a movie. You can work directly with him and hang out on set, but he will be doing all the *actual* work. You get to put your name on this awesome movie afterwards and also get paid to do it."

I was so happy when I aged out of "clubbing" after college. I never liked it in the first place, but there was a time - like age 21 through 26ish - where it was the only way to really socialize, meet new people and have occasional drunken, unsatisfying but consequence-free hook ups. I never, ever felt comfortable in…

I wonder if this is just part of the Trumpist paradigm shift? If Jenner and Kid Rock and god-knows-who-else start winning state elections, is pop-culture celebrity just going to become a prerequisite for public office? We already see how Trumpist thought is undermining media, the supposed watchdog of democracy when it…

Romero's later work wasn't really that great, but it always had a ton of personality. What a scrappy, interesting filmmaker.

Yea, it said they were set up on the actual tracks…

I just can't get with the French extreme horror guys, or like Eli Roth and his ilk. I liked Romero and fucking love Carpenter. Even when those guys were doing sleaze and gore there was a sense of fun to it (especially Carpenter). Even Troma-style exploitation can be joyous. I just hate ugly for the sake of ugliness.

It's fucking crazy that they were working on active train tracks without permission. Completely batshit.

I have trouble seeing innocent people or women shot in films. When it's crazy-ridiculous Tarantino stylized stuff. I handle it a little better. Hateful Eight, however, was disturbing.

Man, I used to love horror movies. I'm getting soft in my old age, though. I just…can't with the nihilism anymore - I don't mind gore, but seeing people suffer really fucks up my day.

It's weird. And weird in a way that you don't see much anymore. It's not "good" but it is interesting.

Just a void-like emptiness, paired with bottomless self loathing and irrational fear of femininity. That kind of misogyny.

Have you ever read Bush's account of being shot down? That's some crazy shit.

Do you think that Trump is so far removed from…humanity? Like, everyday real-people existence, that doing stuff like sitting in a truck or fire apparatus is something that he thinks is extraordinary or unusual? It's bizarre that he uses this shit as photo ops. Like, I have a fire house a couple blocks from my house,…

Man, I could really get behind an Outkast presidency.

A local school board member and pretty active guy in the chamber of commerce and local business/politics posted this on facebook last week, before deleting it after a few hours:

That pee tape came out way before 2008. Remember the Chapelle Show skit? That was like '03!
