I wonder if Wolf of Wall Street will have the same impact.

And I have seen the original SCARFACE, but it's been such a long time that I can't say which is better. I'll revisit it the next time it pops up on TCM.

I avoided the De Palma film for years because of its merchandising, dorm room posters, and some bad reviews. I just watched it this summer and wished I hadn't waited. There are some truly fantastic sequences, such as the famous chainsaw/shower scene, the night club shootout, and the moment where Pacino has to trigger…

Agreed it's a silly argument. The Thing, the movie, is a complete work. You can easily pretend everything else with the name doesn't exist while watching it. You can even watch Alien and pretend all the sequels (and comic books, and etc.) don't exist.

Every time I try to watch the movie GoldenEye I get killed in the last level.

Thing is, most video games are ephemeral. The film will live forever.

It's worth noting that Brooke Adams appeared in the most recent riff on Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the TV show BrainDead.

It freaked the hell out of me when I was younger. I watched it again recently worried that it wouldn't have the same effect, that it would look silly…but nope, it still freaked the hell out of me. The worst part is that the dog's tongue comes out of the hobo's mask and licks its face, which makes it so much more real…

Having just watched it about a month ago, yes. And that film is very chilling as a result.

I have to add that to my October viewing. Also, I just thought of Ti West's The Sacrifice - IIRC that has survivors as well.

Now you have me wondering what found footage movies DON'T have all the main characters die at the end. 1999 Blair Witch kind of made it a trope.

The drone is mainly there to give a sense of how isolated they are in the woods (with a bird's eye view). And if I'm interpreting it right, the Blair Witch uses it as bait late in the movie.

I went to an almost-empty Sunday matinee of Blair Witch. I hated all the characters, but not passionately - I'm used to these kinds of movies having unlikable characters. I was hoping Adam Wingard would do more with it, but it was really just an OK found footage horror movie. It does remove the tension when you know…

Yeah, The Nice Guys proved he should actually be doing comedies.

CBS certainly made it as hard to watch as humanly possible.

His ability to adeptly summarize a random episode of "Gunsmoke" in one of the BrainDead openings proved he has the chops.

I haven't watched it in a while, but I am sure what you're referencing is photographing the stop motion model in front of a projected film image, like how Ray Harryhausen did it back in the day. Harryhausen's movies don't benefit as well in high definition as other films do because of the way the stop motion scenes…

Today in the offices of Merriam-Webster executives are frantically trying to figure out to whom they delegated Twitter account duties and no one can remember.

I hope he also insists that "gay" must always mean "happy," and uses it as such with rigor.

The "e" is silent and it's pronounced "Nick." As in, "The goddess of victory - Nick."
