@endo the fact that people in church thought it was a bad influence when I was young supports this truth. I remember there was also a pamphlet decrying the Dead Kennedys because they wanted to “Kill the Poor.”

whoosh

@mclaincausey Irony is obviously not the strongest trait of many churchgoers.

Which is in and of itself pretty ironic.

Took my 14 yo and 6 of her friends to the theater last night to see Backrooms. It was intense. The movie was scary too.

@Matt I went to see it the other night. Still not managed to process that film

@Matt saw the trailer last night and it totally freaked us out. I really want to see but the kids not so much

It wasn’t especially gruesome, but definitely tense. You don’t need to watch the original YT videos from the director but it’s fun and adds a little to it. I enjoyed it.

Got pretty psyched when i saw this pop up. Lots of names from the real car scene. Made by and starring the dude who played Han from the fast and furious franchise, not as part of the franchise, but as a indie/grassroots love letter to the scene that they started.

Heard a lot about it but only saw it for the first time recently. You have to cut it some slack given that it came out in 1988; some of the dialogue might seem a bit wooden by today’s standards. Above all, though, it’s superbly shot and features a gripping story—told in an unusual way, right down to the ending. I’ve heard the 1993 US remake is crap. But if you enjoy watching older films that have aged well and haven’t seen this one yet, I highly recommend it.
