famous as Tara or the Death Star

Maybe they don’t think families really want to watch that during Thanksgiving.

Krisha is the film that stands out as something I’ve heard is good but haven’t seen yet. I wasn’t that into “It Comes at Night” but thought the director had potential.

I assume it’s because Reitman got tired of making movies which didn’t make money*, saw what Abrams was rolling in based purely on nostalgia, and decided to sell out.

I got a Community Woody Allen update for this?

Not convicted of it though.

I hadn’t heard of Masako because it seems she’s known for theater.

I guess the most recently released film not mentioned is New Mutants. But maybe they were thinking of “Barry”, where she played Obama’s girlfriend!

I remember some commenters saying Michelle Monaghan was too old to be plausibly married to Aaron Paul in The Path, even she’s not that much older than him. I never watched the series though so I don’t know if that’s ever remarked upon inside it.

I didn’t think to make that connection when I watched the recent adaptation of that novel, but I really should have.

To me, this film was all style with a weak script. But then I suppose that was a common take on De Palma.

I figure Miller shouldn’t quit his day job, although I haven’t actually seen him act.

I wasn’t going to click on it, but then I saw the picture of the puppy and thought it must be something else. Now I feel stupid for clicking.

I’m here because I like Mike Flanagan’s movies as well as “The Innocents”. You are entitled to your opinion whether my comparisons of ghost stories I perceive as working (such as those of James & Jackson) are “mindless”.

Ok, that makes a lot more sense.

The story I was saying didn’t have any ghosts in it was “The Beast in the Jungle”, which this episode is titled after.

Perd Hapley was perhaps the best fictional news personality, and that’s because he was played by someone with plenty of experience doing it for real. So perhaps Wolf Blitzer should just go by a different name in movies.

Lecter may effectively be Dracula in Silence, but the movie isn’t about him. He’s a supporting character in the police procedural where Clarice hunts Buffalo Bill. Is Bill enough to make it a horror film?

I decided New Nightmare was the only other film in the series I needed to see. That could have stood to be even more meta.
