Picks for next Friday NickerT: Rocky (1976) 4686: Fido (2006) Ablu: Fallen Angels (1995)

I finally sat through "In the Soup". Only hardcore Steve Buscemi fans need apply. Interestingly, though, it has cameos from some famous people: Sam Rockwell, Jim Jarmusch, hell, the "little man" is Mike Anderson from Twin Peaks!

>>1954 I found a somewhat similar but better Steve Buscemi movie called "Living in Oblivion". He stars as a director trying to get one scene done but everything keeps going wrong (in multiple layers - Inception style). I don't know why but I have the feeling that blam would be interested in this movie if he hasn't seen it already.

Rewatching chungking express and fallen angels. I cant explain it. Something about the alienation, and cynicism of a culture apart. A people separated from themselves. It just makes the comfiest movies of all time. I often fall asleep with them on. What was the message? Whats he getting at?

Looks like I missed one.

FleshEater looks interesting as it's a sort of pseudosequel to the original Night of the Living Dead. https://vinegarsyndrome.com/collections/frontpage/products/flesheater

I was looking at these last night. They might be good ones, assuming you don't already have them. I'll have to link the trailers since VS is current closed in preparation for Halfway to Black Friday >An Eternal Combat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sfJRFQ-qWc >Demon Wind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRB9M4ufj7k >The Cellar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IL8VjTpbrQk >Home Grown Horrors (Winterbeast, Beyond Dreams Door & Fatal Exam) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCPr30meVXY >Santet 1 & 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQcrP00PA8c

Great flying guillotine articles: http://www.coolasscinema.com/2020/06/the-flying-guillotines-history-of-shaw_8.html http://www.coolasscinema.com/2020/06/the-flying-guillotines-history-of-shaw_14.html Long but interesting read.

I'd like to ask, what are the best Kung Fu / Martial Arts movies that you know of? Also what are the best Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Bruce Lee movies?

>>1931 >what are the best Kung Fu / Martial Arts movies that you know of? That's a really broad question and a little hard to answer. My personal ones by region: >HK/Taiwan One Armed Boxer & Master of the Flying Guillotine, Deadly Silver Spear, the One Armed Swordsman movies (in fact I've yet to find anything starring Jimmy Wang Yu that I dislike), Invincible Armor, Eagles Claw, Shaolin Invincible Sticks, Flying Guillotine, Born Invincible, The two original Bronzemen movies for the Bronzemen sections of those movies, Shaolin Red Master, Secret Shaolin Kung Fu. That's probably a good start. I could probably come up with some more. >Western Blood Sport, Big Trouble in Little China, Mortal Kombat (90s version), the "Ninja Trilogy are not "good" films but they're really fun, Double Dragon is the Jojolion of western martial arts movies (lots of buildup but nothing happens by the end) but I'm fond of it, The Last Dragon >Nip Basically any of the serious samurai movies by Kurosawa (such as Seven Samurai, Rashomon, Yojimbo, Sanjuro, Ran, Kagemusha, Throne of Blood) or similar films by other directors (Harakiri, Onibaba, the 2 Lady Snowblood movies, the Zatoichi movies, Samurai Rebellion, etc.) Probably not exactly what you're asking about. >Jackie Chan I'm really not much of a fan of Jackie Chan, mostly because his martial arts movies all seem to share my least favorite trope of the "comedy introduction" where the protagonist spends the first 25-30 minutes acting like a fucktard before the evil white haired guy comes out and kills everyone and he's forced to get serious. Chans best movies are from his Police Story era. I'd say start with those. >Jet Li In all honesty I've not had the opportunity to see a Jet Li movie all the way through so I can't comment. The ones I have seen are the post Hollywood ones too so I don't have a complete picture anyway. I think both of us should check out his Hong Kong era films.

A Bridge Too Far

I'm trying to find a movie from the late 80s to early/mid 90s about cyborgs. All I remember about the movie is that at the beginning a guy's head transforms into a canon and shoots another guy. It looks like something that Charles Band might have made but even if that's true it hardly narrows it down.

im trying to remember a movie i saw were a guy falls asleep at a restaurant and dreams hes part of the three stooges

I need to identify 80's, probably early 90's adventure movie. Main male character and his female follower have been traveling the world to find some treasure. They went Rapa Nui (Easter Island) as well. One screamer-like scene I can remember clearly. Male dove to crashed cargo plane, and then he has been pulling the front window the half of dead pilot body came up from the inside. I should notice that isn't 2005 Into the Blue movie.

>>907 Way too fucking late to bring the racial tension from 50 years ago, something that Sorosflix beat them to it: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=OAaZIfeQzT0 (With the funny Borat jew you're supposed to take him seriously) >>977 Kevin Smith is the dudebro who hasn't grown up, but lowered himself to appease redditors. Besides doing a movie with "literally me" characters is not that hard, giving him credibility was a big fucking mistake and now he's also butchering superhero comics when he's not getting a blowjob on his many podcasts that only his cattle remember. I guess Bruce Willis was in the right on how to make funny shit and bruised his ego.

I tried watching Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back. None of the original actors came back apart from the shifu guy. I dropped it ten minutes in. Not a movie, but I also tried reading Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs to compare it to the movie. It was nothing but chapter upon chapter painstakingly describing gay orgies and men doing a shit ton of heroin. I couldn't finish it. David Cronenberg did a service to the source novel that it didn't deserve.

>>914 Gandolfini completely prevented him from watching the Sopranos because Gandolfini put all of his anger at his life, the position of Italians in society, etcetera into his performance. He watched it for the first time during filming for the movie, hence the subpar acting. Michael, the kid, had never seen his father act this way in real life, so he was playing a man who he had never met with the face of his dad. It would be like an actor's son playing an actor after his death, but the son never knew the actor was a well known active homosexual.

Looking for "In the Soup" starring Steve Buscemi. Tried searching my usual torrent sites and I'm getting nothing but recipes and porn. Anyone know where I can source an illegal copy?

>>1827 ¡Muchas gracias anon!

I kind of want to say Affleck. That may not be strictly true but he's certainly been in a whole lot of nothing for as popular as he is.

>>1357 Judd Apatow with his trained monkeys bunch

Man I love the House on Haunted Hill. The plot makes absolutely zero sense but the atmosphere and Price's acting is top notch.

>>1500 It's a great Vincent Price flick, highly recommend.

>>1381 I got mine from Walmart in the early 90's. As per IMDb >The Ghostface mask was first developed for novelty stores during the Halloween season between 1991 and 1992 by Fun World employee Brigitte Sleiertin as part of a series titled "Fantastic Faces", the mask itself known as "The Peanut-Eyed Ghost". The final design was approved by Fun World Vice President Allan Geller. Wes Craven claimed to have originally found the mask, but later clarified that he had misremembered the event, and that it was producer Marianne Maddalena who discovered it. She found it while inside a house during location scouting for the film and brought it to the attention of Wes Craven, who set about trying to obtain the rights to use it. Fun World licensing director R.J. Torbert joined Fun World in 1996 and was given the task of naming the mask prior to its film debut, deciding on "GhostFace" with the blessing of Fun World owners Stanley and Allan Geller. Torbert felt it looked like a "ghost in pain", believing it to be a unique design. The Ghostface design and title are owned by Fun World. So it wasn't a prop made specifically for the movie but rather a repurposed mass marketed Halloween mask. Which is sort of neat given the "first" modern slasher antagonist's iconic mask is also a mass marketed Halloween mask instead of a unique prop. Although in that case it was slightly altered.

>>1379 I like the original Scream and Scary Movie. Scream 2 was bad, and the series took a nosedive from there. If you like the original Scream, watch Urban Legend. As far as I know, the director for it was passed up after the studio secured Craven for Scream.

>>1755 Anything from Adam Sandler, especially Jack and Jill and Pixels, is highly recommended. Jokes aside, can you name some movies you've seen that you really enjoyed? Because opinions on movies are as vast as the number of films themselves, so it'd be easier to narrow down some recommendations. Plus it wouldn't make sense to rehash all the most commonly seen movies if you've gone through them.

>>1761 >Because opinions on movies are as vast as the number of films themselves That is exactly the issue. I have usually just watched whatever was on the big or small screens, but even if I end up liking the movie I never really bothered saving it for later and just realized how much of an issue that is. I mostly like comedy as a genre, but I am open to pretty much anything. I know I am definitely not high-brow, but some of my favorite movies include: >The Blues Brothers >Monsters, Inc. >The Terminal >The BRAVO NOLAN Trilogy >The Naked Gun Trilogy >Lord of War >Pretty much anything with Mel Brooks at the helm >Africa Addio (don't know if it counts as a movie, but it IS shot more like one than a documentary) And then a bunch of movies from my region that have mixed quality, but are relevant for the cultural literacy of where I come from, so they don't really count in the grand scheme of things. >Adam Sandler Unpopular opinion, but while he may be a mediocre or opportunistic actor, I believe that he must genuinely be a really nice guy to hang around with and he gets away with making abhorrent movies solely because he knows so many people in and out of the industry.
