@endo the real question - is it "absolutely f*cking insane"?

I'd say debatable. Depends on the culture you're from. Here in NoGer we'd say 'geht', which basically means 'absolutely fucking insane'.

@endo nicht geschimpft ist genug gelobt

I wanted to see what all the spiciness was about with the Terrifer movies. They are quite spicy. Terrifer 3 in particular, great googly moogly.

The Dead Don’t Die popped up on Netflix. I thought it was damn good.

[tody]

@Mizmazzle I really enjoyed that, too.

This one was an excellent watch - I'll likely revisit at least once more

Watched "The Chef" directed by and starring Jon Favreau for the first time last night, great if you want something light hearted

Big Tim Burton fan, big Beetlejuice fan.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was aggressively terrible. Kind of shocked at how well-received it is. I made it to the end expecting it to redeem itself somehow but no such luck.

@mclaincausey Pains me to be agreeing with every sentence. Burton movies used to be something very special but do not think I could recommend anything post Sweeney Todd

[AdamC]

@AdamJ I cant believe youve only recently watched it, incredible film and soundtrack. Im definitely nearing double figures.

[mclaincausey]

@flannel-slut it had the acting talent and the atmosphere and physical effects. It just needed a decent script.

Burton had an amazing ten year run but really fell off after that.

Forgot to post about this but saw the trailer for “Nosferatu” when we went to see “Godzilla Minus One” and it was the scariest fucking trailer I have EVER seen. Had to cover my son’s eyes for fear he’d be permanently scarred. Of course now I can’t wait to see it. Eggers makes some scary stuff

One of my favourite directors. Look forward to Nosferatu.

I have a mad list of movies to catch up with. A fair few in there that I have shamefully failed to see on release.

The Iron Claw
Anatomy of a Fall
Dream Scenario
The Holdovers
Civil War

(Yes, I love A24)

BB was not great sadly.

@Nick Gonna go this week hopefully . I’ll report if I do. Love some scary

[Nick]

@SKT I didn't realise the backstory of the original silent movie. Fascinating stuff. A re-telling of Stoker's Dracula with changed names, but Stoker's estate sued them and apparently all copies were burnt - but not all!

Movie then became a bit of an iconic moment in cinematic history in terms of art direction etc

[SKT]

@Nick oh that’s a cool backstory. I reread Stoker’s Dracula a couple years ago and actually really like Coppola’s movie version but have never seen the original Nosferatu. Wonder if I should try before seeing this new one

[Nick]

Watched Smile 2. Love psychological horrors (any horror tbf but less so slasher movies). Thought this sequel was brilliant, even if its conclusion was extremely ambiguous with its delivery.

Worth watching for Naomi Scott's performance alone.

@mclaincausey A few days late but...I liked some parts of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, I think Catherine O'Hara was funny and played her character well. I was disappointed how Winona Ryder's character was portrayed as a pathetic loser basically that makes poor choices. She was so much cooler in the first film. The ending was super weird too. I did enjoy how Michael Keaton played his role though, he had me laughing a few times.

[mclaincausey]

Yeah agreed. The script is what ruined it, not the acting or practical effects or sets or any of that. The script is what made Lydia lame (though to some extent it make sense to be lam-er as one ages) and the script is what made that clumsy, forced ending to a bunch of convoluted storylines.
