8 Fast 8 Furious?

Edit: Should've been "F8 of the Furious"

Yeah. that one.

Watched "Tetsuo: The Iron Man". A surrealist Japanese horror movie.
Much more weird than plain scary, it can definitely be compared to Lynch's Eraserhead.
Only that in Tsukamoto's film, the surreal artistic nature of the film is definitely a parody of the fear of industrial excess.
Also, I noticed that the classic "man transform into *some fucked-up thing*" story the transformation process seems to be the scariest part.
When it is complete, it's no longer scary. I wonder why this is the case. I guess it's got something to do with a "it can't get any worse than this" element?

I've finally gotten round to watching the Assassin's Creed movie.  It's more style heavily outweighing the substance, and is very pretty and looks right, but lacks much in terms of the story, with a ridiculous amount of credits runtime in comparison to the film's length.  I'd have liked more stuff about Aguilar and Maria.  There were some nice easter eggs though throughout.

Yeah. that one.
My partner and I were tempted to see that or Beauty and the Beast when we had a week off, but we couldn't decide. Then I went home and did our own thing and I played Zelda ;P

Watched Kevin Smith's classic "Chasing Amy". Now that I'm old enough to be able to appreciate it, I must say it's possibly Smith's most mature and interesting movie. When you're used to the silliness of his other movies, a romance movie seems a bit misplaced; but in fact, the film is more relevant than ever. Unlike Smith's rather simplistic themes, Chasing Amy explores complex themes of sexuality, identity and love. It's not your standard French romance comedy. It's realistic, and the characters are colorful.

The Thing. Jesus H Christ, that movie was a little too intense for me. I really, REALLY, felt sorry for the dogs. Especially the dog that was the first victim. Getting sprayed by the creature then consumed. An old film from the early 80's but still a brutal one at that. Poor dogs  :'(

The Thing remains my favorite horror film. I love how Morricone composed the music, but it was under the guidance/suggestion of Carpenter, so it basically sounds like a Carpenter score (since he wasn't allowed by the producers to compose it, for some odd reason, because his role was "director" and nothing more).


Last night, I watched Final Exam for the first time. I really enjoy cheeseball '80s slashers, but this one was a little too dull for my tastes. When watching a slasher, you expect two things: kills and boobs. Aside from a quick double-kill at the very beginning, you don't see anything else exploitative until the one-hour mark. Things kinda pick up there for the final half-hour, but it's not enough to make it good. The movie spent a lot of time on character drama and humor, but aside from one character (Radish), the characters are extremely one-dimensional, even less so than numerous vapid characters in other slashers who are mostly there to show skin and die.

But earlier in the evening, I rewatched The Burning, and that's a mostly stellar slasher aside from the somewhat plodding last act.
Oh yeah, and also:
meat

Soda as well.

The thing ( especially compared to it's remake), is the #1 prime example of why practical effects will always top CGI.

i saw logan, it was pretty good.  my girlfriend gets wayyy too emotional at movies.
seems like marvel made it just to sandbag the fuck out of any future x-men movie made by fox, though.
