I saw Darlin’ at Cinepocalypse. It was Pollyanna McIntosh’s directorial debut.

They get paid a lot because Netflix makes a lot of money. And they won’t care what grade the AV Club gives their zombie movie prequel as long as they got enough subscriptions out of it.

I’m with her on preferring A Field in England to The Wicker Man. The latter doesn’t really have horror until the end. Prior to that it actually seems like more of a musical!

“You’re Next” is my go-to example of a horror comedy where the comedy doesn’t undermine the horror, and unpredictability is the source of much of its dark humor. But audiences wanting predictability in their slashers is presumably why it wasn’t successful enough to become a franchise.

I remember a crossover where the universe was being held together with duct tape (“you can never have too much duct tape”), it started to fail and then the two crossed over and had a bunch of characters fight each other. Flash vs Quicksilver, Namor vs Aquaman, Silver Surfer vs Green Lantern, Wolverine vs Lobo... I…

Perhaps you’d prefer the rejected New Yorker captions:

I don’t like Larry David is like David Chase in that way. He does think it’s funny and wants the audience to laugh.

The last movie I rewatched after initially disliking it was The Thin Red Line, after I saw & enjoyed Badlands + Tree of Life. I still don’t care for it.

And he was only able to get that nomination for “Girls” because Peter MacNicol had to be withdrawn due to a 10 second clip past his episode limit.

Multiple examples here undermine the thesis of the list. Green Book shows that a film like Driving Miss Daisy CAN get made & succeed. Low-budget edgy movies like Female Trouble DO get made even if afterward they get “lost in the noise”.

You’ll be hard to find given the lack of landmarks in the sea.

I never tried to watch Moonrise Kingdom. For me it was Royal Tenenbaums where I quickly decided I didn’t care about any of the sad rich people and didn’t want to spend time with them.

I think Bottle Rocket may appeal more to people (like me) who aren’t really Wes Anderson fans.

Bottle Rocket was at least watchable enough for me to see it in one sitting, whereas what I saw of Royal Tenenbaums convinced me to avoid Anderson for years.

I recall SNL imagined a Wes Anderson horror movie with Ed Norton, but that’s about it in terms of professionally done parodies I can think of (so I’m not counting that recut trailer for The Witch).

The mention of how many sets were used and the fact that this is Anderson’s first anthology makes me think of a different…

Dune is not “hard” scifi. It’s instead a paradigmatic example of “soft” scifi.

Less faithful adaptations seem to generally be worse, but “Under the Skin” did a great job while making so many changes some fans theorize it’s actually a sequel.

Nope, this is still an “A-”. A- Dowd strikes again!

Usually it’s the Chinese government accused of harvesting organs from people they execute.
