  • Looks hype to me! I can understand and sympathize with the viewpoint that Joker worked so well as a standalone movie without the need for sequels, but because this one looks to be doing something so different I’m totally open to it. As the titular c…

  • Vinegar Syndrome’s 4K edition of Road House. I strongly recommend anyone on the fence about getting it makes their call soon; over 100 copies sold since yesterday, and less than 900 total left in stock! They will get very expensive, as they already …

  • The original is so good - I need to buy the special, limited Vinegar Syndrome 4K before it’s all out, those copies are going fast!

  • Easily MR for me too. As a young one, it would have been more debatable, but now I feel like MR has DAD beat at just about every category. Even though MR still ranks towards the bottom of my list, mostly because of the third act, it’s got some great…

  • I personally am cautiously optimistic about Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. It’s been a long time since Burton consistently made good films, but his legacy content still makes him one of my personal favorite directors. Hope he exceeds all expectations and …

  • YOLT handily. Ironically, while SP was more connected to its previous few films than YOLT, it was YOLT that actually felt like it was organically built up to regarding SPECTRE and Blofeld. It's just a more entertaining film all around to me. I will …

  • The Gift (2015). A really good, unique horror/thriller film that exceeds at subtlety. I saw a couple things coming, but definitely not nearly everything!

  • The coolest, cutest creature (xenomorph) in horror returns! Seems like the perfect opportunity for me to finally marathon all the films; only seen the first 3, been meaning to get to the others forever now!

  • @peter I finally watched Bad Lieutenant (1992), as recommended by you! Harvey Keitel delivered such a raw, epic performance, and I was very impressed by all the grittiness. It gave me a classic, 1970s film kind of vibe. Being a fan of baseball my…

  • Pretty impressive! I’d also highly recommend De Palma (2015) to any fans - very cool and fun to get a career overview from the director himself.

  • More rotten news. At least like Bond, Batman is a spoilt franchise with tons of amazing content to revisit. Playing the Arkham games myself now and close to marathoning the classic animated series.

  • Personally, I don’t understand all the fiery debate regarding whether Batman should kill or not. In both comics and on screen, we’ve had different versions, and I see nothing wrong with keeping it that way. Burton’s Batman was emphasized to be nearl…

  • Road House (1989), first time. To use an overused saying, they don't make them like this anymore - but for real. It's an ultimate everyman versus rich man story, exploding with 80s excess in its action and style. Also a very cool "modern western" in…

  • Speaking as someone who grew up in a pretty technology-heavy era, I envy the idea of a time when kids could just go out, bike, chill, and do whatever. My mom told me about how when she was a kid, her parents didn’t care what she did as long as all h…

  • I also love Lost Highway; it’s become one of my favorite Lynch films. Blue Velvet, Eraserhead, The Straight Story, The Elephant Man, and Mulholland Drive are all top-notch as well.
