From the director of Rambo Last Blood, which was also comically stupid paranoid porn with deranged story choices that kinda ruled. Looking forward to this.

Any titles on this list you'd recommend as particularly overlooked or undervalued?

This is one of the few horror franchises that gets better for the first few entries. The Trenchard-Smiths (3 & 4) and the latest (not in that box set) are the best.

By the great Terence Fisher after years of directing many of Hammer's best films

I think it's more fun to watch than Top Gun

That's the only vague meta justification I can make for his casting, that his shallow narcissism suits the characterization, but that doesn't make him any more enjoyable to watch

That's the kind of thing that even a couple quick insert shots could have established, and hell, we the audience might not have time to think about it if we didn't spend two minutes watching Pattinson walk into a room

Same problem I had with the latest Batman, feels twice as long as it needs to be simply by needlessly sloooowing everything down. Sometimes portent is just boring.

Someone needs to cut him down to size and pump a few more Mimics out of him. But damn is he a fun movie dude.

"Nice turn signal asshole."

I would have played SILENT RAGE in my "this deserves a reputation bump" spot, so I'm happy it was brought up – however, this is twice now that it has been referenced on Screen Drafts as Chuck Norris vs. A Zombie, when the proper analogy is closer to Chuck Norris vs. Michael Myers. Fun draft!

More like Justice LaLiberty for restoring some much-deserved honor to RE:R after it was mercilessly besmirched on their frustrating PWSA episode.

HHH?

I'm sure MST3K has snarky fun with the airlock decompression scene, but it's surprisingly brutal for its time.

DOOMSDAY MACHINE (Various Directors, 1972) Going by Letterboxd, I might be one of this picture's biggest fans. Most of what doesn't work is still interesting, especially knowing its troubled production history, and what does work actually kinda rules; the stuff shot by Stanley Cortez is eye-popping.

As a fellow film studies major circa 2010, I can confirm this. Most of my peers didn't care about movies, were only there because they thought it'd be easy, and were largely indifferent if not outright hostile to most of our viewing material. The experience was incredibly dispiriting

ELON MUSK: your island is so freaking like, based. it's seriously like effing amazeballs. i'm going to basically be making like all of mars totally just like the same as how epic this is
STEPHEN HAWKING: jeff rey why, did you in vite, this lame, ass nerd

Instantly recognizable line, and better yet, I can hear it. There was a time when I dismissed RotLD as good but overrated fanboy fodder. Now, I don't feel like it's talked about and revered the way it once was, and a recent revisit revealed a stone-cold masterpiece.

She's good in Bartok. Weird movie, worth a spin.

Looks like a particularly ugly Scream Factory cover.

I think you'd like it

I was already planning on seeing it, consensus be damned, but I love to see this. Sooo is it more in the vein of Gans' Beauty and the Beast?

I'm still tempted just to hear a Yamaoka score in the theater – my expectations will just be recalibrated to those befitting a DTV Dimension films sequel.

Maybe I've been listening to ICC for too long but my first thought was that I thought you'd only just recently watched your first Rollin. Anyways, congrats, he's one of the greats

Really enjoyed this episode, reminded me of how much I enjoy some of his movies (THE CALL rips) & made me want to catch up on some others

This often happens with movie related questions, the only reason I enjoy watching

This man rules.

Really makes me wish physical media rental was still a thing. I can't buy all these releases!

Haven't watched it yet, but the cinematographer was on a podcast talking about how the primary touchstones discussed between himself and Trachtenberg about how the movie was going to be shot, edited, graded, etc. etc. were video games they'd both played
