Halloween/Horror Movie Thread
I love horror comedy - it's a great way to ease into the genre. A few other recs in that vein: Tucker and Dale vs Evil The Cabin in the Woods Bodies Bodies Bodies Freaky Happy Death Day Final Girls X Jennifer's Body

Halloween/Horror Movie Thread
What is it that scares you? Jump scares? Supernatural stuff? Based on what you've said, I'd consider this list: Paranormal Activity (found footage, scary mostly b/c of vibes and not so much because of actual imagery) Hereditary (supernatural horror, Toni Colette being a queen) Carrie (the original) Shaun of the Dead (British zombie spoof) Ready or Not (wedding night from hell; also pretty comedic) Barbarian (Air BnB from hell; pretty good change-up in the middle) Let me know what you think of this and what you're into/not into and I can provide more recs. I'm not super into slashers so the others can give you more direction there.

Brian's rant during the hike cracked me up. "Fuck you, red shirt! You too, leggings! Fuck all of you! Fuck this mountain!"

Before Harris went on, CHD had about 10 million listeners per episode compared to Joe Rogan's 11 million. They've been 1 and 2 on Spotify for a while (Rogan in first place).- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
I'm missing something - is it because the song is Time to Say Goodbye? It was the end of the rally, so it's not the craziest choice.- Halloween/Horror Movie Thread
Hereditary is my 16-yo's favorite movie. I just recently let him watch The Exorcist, and he was completely underwhelmed. Lots of the other movies that scared the shit out of me as a kid are non-events by his standards - he was so bored by Nightmare on Elm Street, for example, that he fell asleep. ITA on the original Chainsaw Massacre movie, btw. My son wasn't super creeped out, but it had him on edge far more than the original Freddy or Halloween movies, for sure. You mean the bedroom scene in Terrifier 2?- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
Nah, they take a lot of shots and pick the one they want. Reminds me of this Newsweek cover with Michele Bachmann back in the day - she was pretty photogenic and they picked what had to be one of the worst pics of her ever. Y'all remember when the Tea Party was the big thing we were all worried about?- Joker: Folie a Deux
Comic book movie, then.- Halloween/Horror Movie Thread
Watched a couple of new releases this week. Daddy's Head - definitely had some creepy moments, and great acting, but the ending left a bit too much unresolved for my taste. Hold Your Breath - love Sarah Paulson and the acting was great, but the movie overall was pretty boring- All things SNL
"Why was that guy dressed like Dracula?" 🤣 The actual Don Francisco commented on it on YouTube!- 'Salem's Lot (2024)
Disappointing. It was mostly a straight retelling of the book, down to it being set in the 70s. And while it's always fun to see Danish Josh Jackson, he didn't do much with Straker. I agree that it went too fast to fully capture the book.- Joker: Folie a Deux
I agree that the sequel didn't need to be made. Joker had its issues, but it was overall a good movie, and I'm not generally into superhero movies. This was a beating, though. I'll spoiler stuff out of an abundance of caution, even though some stuff has been revealed already. I feel like all of the promo has talked about it being a musical, so it would be hard to miss that aspect going in.- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
Eh, he shouldn't get credit for acting like a normal human person. Nice humblebrag.- The Substance
I was surprised at how much the sound contributed to the grossness.- The Substance
This was fuuuuucked up but I would still recommend it. And I echo what others have said about not eating while watching. If you've ever thought “I wish there was a movie that combined the Let’s Get Physical music video with Perfect and then overlaid everything with a heavy dose of The Fly”, this is your lucky day.- All things SNL
The Hitler joke at the 2 min mark in Weekend Update had me rolling.- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.

It's really eerie. The sky turns this greenish color and everything goes still and quiet. I don't wish upon you the storm you have to get through to get into the eye. Stay safe. My aunt and uncle insisted on driving my grandparents to their lake house in Toledo Bend. My parents took my other grandma and drove the 21 hours it took to get from Groves to Austin. Aunt, uncle, and grandparents were stuck up there 3-ish weeks, too.- 9/11: One Day in America (Nat Geo)
Stumbled across this documentary a few days ago and just finished. The jumpers and the thuds...my god. One thing that kind of surprised me - and I'm not complaining - is that in all the footage, you don't see any bodies. With all the carnage they described, I was expecting there to be blurred out body parts. I also had an 8 am class that day - media law in CMA. Watched the towers collapse in the auditorium where class was supposed to be held. I watched United 93 recently and was shocked at how affected I was by it. When it came out back in 2006, I remember thinking that there was no way I could handle it, and I thought it was more of a Jerry Bruckheimer-ish action movie. Which it absolutely is not.- The movie you just watched
Both of those are great. I just rewatched Speak No Evil in preparation for the new one.- The Substance
Ok, that's doable. I think Audition grossed me out more than anything.- The Substance
I go see movies by myself all the time. That'll probably be the case with this one - can't imagine my husband will be up for it. What level of gross are we talking here? Infinity Pool? The Fly? Terrorizer 2?- The movie you just watched
I appreciate hot, regardless of gender. - 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
