Sam's Thread of Chattin' w/ Jake & Other Robust Subjects

There was a slight pink tinge to it because some cunt left it out in the sun at some point but the picture was good quality and the sound was phenomenal. I might have to rearrange my favourite horror films list. I recall you having a penchant for horror, X.

Oh yes, a penchant is a term you could use. You could also say I have the same tattoo on my arm that Michael Myers has, and this would be a factual statement.

I'm going to see a screening of Halloween in a week, I saw it once outdoors on a big screen but it was just a DVD of the film projected massively, this will be an actual print, and I can't wait.

Though with Wes Craven's recent passing I'm irrationally afraid of Carpenter's imminent demise. Someone needs to freeze him for the future, Demolition Man style.

Oh yes. It is coming. LOOK TO THE SKIES!
 
Michael Myers has a tattoo? The only Halloween films I've seen are the first, which is wonderful, and H2O, which is not bad. Is it the third one that's also good? There's that one about witches.

Sam Raimi will also die one day. All inconsistent horror directors will. But not all of them will have their own synth album.

Come to think of it, Sam Raimi's horror record is really good if we're not counting the third Evil Dead.

Yeah the third is the one without Myers about witchcraft and though universally hated on release has become a cult classic to genre fans. It's a really fun, moody, cheesy good time with a few genuinely creepy bits and B-movie god Tom Atkins at his surliest. The 4th film is also one of my favorites, really fun formula slasher that's probably the best sequel in the series after the 2nd film.

And aye, he does. It wasn't revealed until the 6th film however with a slightly convoluted storyline about how the tattoo is a mark of evil, it's an old celtic rune, and there's this cult and yadda yadda yadda I just got it because it looks cool as fuck, it expresses my love of horror, and I've thought about getting it since I was about 13 years old.

This is it:

Have you heard JC's album? It's really good. That man knows how to make moody synth music I tell ya.

And you dare speak ill of Army of Darkness? What? Why? How? Where? When? Whom?


Have you seen the trailers for Ash vs. The Evil Dead? Because that looks phenomenal.
 
I've seen pretty much all the classic horror films but, arguably, not enough of their sequels. I really must watch the second Texas Chainsaw Massacre one of these days. I even hear some of the Psycho sequels are good.

Any film with synth on the soundtrack gets an additional star from me - meaning, yes, Mad Max could have easily got six stars - hence my love of The Guest and It Follows.

I did listen to Carpenter's album and did mean to download it to study/make love/play Super Mario Maker to.

I think I might actually prefer the Evil Dead remake to Army of Darkness. Evil Dead II was just the right blend of horror and comedy to me (e.g. A Farewell to Arms) and Army of Darkness just slid too far in the other direction.

I am indeed excited for Ash vs. Evil Dead - it looks like it'll have enough stuff that's simultaneously hilarious and horrifying.

I love how Spider-Man 2 had a classic Raimi horror scene in it - when Doc Ock escapes from hospital.
 
The best part of my trip to Boston was when JGlass remembered I was the one who recommended Speed Racer to him and we embraced.
 
I am also undefeated on reccomendations to him, as I am you....

and yet, Mad Maxxxxx and Speed Racer, things we simply can not get together on.

TCM II and 3 are worth a peek, just don't expect anything fantastic. Viggo Mortensen hams it up nicely in the 3rd film. I've actually not seen any of the Psycho sequels I'm ashamed to say, though I've heard the 2nd film is worth watching and is on my watchlist.

The Guest is another one on my watchlist, and I just saw It Follows a few weeks back and quite enjoyed it, in large part because of that synth score.

Eh I wasn't that keen on the Evil Dead remake, first viewing I really liked it, second viewing I was indifferent. I love Army of Darkness for being just batshit crazy, it very much embraces comedy over horror but I didn't mind that because the comedy works and Bruce Campbell is inhumanly badass in it.

Speaking of Mr. Raimi, I saw a really good slasher flick a few weeks back from 1989 called Intruder, that I would definitely recommend. The first film the Nicotero/Kurtzman effects team worked on (the current makeup guys for The Walking Dead who have basically replaced Tom Savini as the go-to guys for horror make up) and it has Sam and his brother Ted in the main cast as well as Bruce Campbell making a cameo. Great setting where they're all trapped in a big grocery store over night. Had a blast with it.

Still haven't seen Max or Racer.
 
I don't think I recommended that, more that I said it was one of my favorites and you went looking for it.

You loved speed racer, couldn't handle KOH directors cut. Think it says more about your attention span than anything ;)
 
Oh I'm sure I will, but I'm on an all horror movie diet this month for obvious reasons.
 
After Jake's untimely death, it's nice to have such strapping young lads come in and keep me company.

The Guest gets a bit peculiar in the third act but just about pulls it back in time for the end. If you like eighties horror - and, evidently, you do - then you'll probably really dig the final setpiece. The same writer/director combo did You're Next, which is also bags full of fun.

The Evil Dead remake was pretty gruesome. I loved the one guy who got absolutely fucked up. Can't really say much more about it than that really.

Oh I could handle it, it was just bad.

If I remember correctly, I voiced my criticisms of the original KOH and you and Barbosa told me that the director's cut was way better. It wasn't. It was just more not goodness.

If we're calling my attention span into question, I'd point to the fact that I enjoyed Tree of Life and Cloud Atlas.
 
When the universe is forming and stars are exploding and planets are molten rock in Tree of Life, it's awe-inspiring, but I'm not going to pretend I'm entertained by the rest of the film.

I famously - famously - fell asleep during my first attempt to watch the director's cut of The Kingdom of Heaven and haven't gone back to it since. I wasn't bored; I was tired. Orlando Bloom was very much miscast.

That's good, because forever is the approximate run time of any one Malick film.

New World sucked eggs.

New World was great, like every film he's ever made. Badlands, Days of Heaven, The Thin Red Line, these are all masterpieces.

His films are truly experiences.
 
Jake isn't dead yet, kids. Likely not long though.

Still waiting for that parody of The Thing with black people (The Thang) to come out.
 
I need to ask all the Brits I can, because I am regularly confused by this....



Is there a true groundswell of support for an NFL team over there? I feel like its tepid at best, and yet they get crowds of 70 thousand plus for two random teams playing, with no supporting interest for the majority of the spectators.



How the fuck does this happen?
 
Plenty of people like NFL, but I still think the filling of Wembley every year is more the novelty factor.

I cannot see it remaining as popular should there be 16 home games, especially when it remains £80 a ticket.
 
Well, it would be 8 home games, but yea. I see your argument, at the same time if the NFL could get even 10% of the fanatascism that the soccer teams get, it would be a mega-bucks endeavor.

Here's your headline: 007 by the numbers.

Christoph Waltz would have been more menacing if he was introduced getting fucked in the arse by M. The last twenty minutes and final setpiece are probably the most boring in Bond movie history. The only surprises are the total lack of surprises. I was under the impression that we'd gone past the era of phoned in Bonds. I genuinely don't know how anybody read that script and thought it was a fun time. It's so pedestrian. It's a fucking disaster. Batista is literally the highlight.

Oh, and there were thirty-five minutes of ads before the film. That's a thing now.

I'll second this. As someone who's watched somewhere in the region of six entire American football games over the last ten years, I'm probably one of the most fanatic NFL supporters in the United Kingdom, and I'm still not really sure how it works.
