plasmabeam 05/21/22 2:02:01 PM #135 | After reading these writeups, I wish I had ranked YN a couple slots higher. Though the characters and the story's 2nd half left me feeling underwhelmed, there's no denying how fun and intense YN is. The cherry on top is how it toys around with various slasher tropes--some of which I didn't pick up on until now. --- ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ |

plasmabeam 05/20/22 8:35:11 PM #100 | I'm stunned that IT didn't crack the Top 15. Stunned. Like, I'm shitting and vomiting uncontrollably right now. I didn't watch Part 2, so perhaps I was fortunate to not have my overall IT experience tainted. My biggest issue with Part 1 was the pulled punches or "Selectively Dangerous Villain Syndrome" as I like to call it. Many horror movies have this problem where the monster is an unstoppable menace at the beginning of the story, then when it meets the main cast, all of a sudden it gets clumsy or decides to hand out plot armor. Part 1 suffered from this big-time, but the rest of the movie was thankfully a blast. jcgamer107 posted... Ok, now You're Next is next You've been reverse-jinxing You're Next, and Lighting has been reverse-jinxing Happy Death Day for the past three days.

So I watched the deleted scenes on this one and there is an entire B plot of how the old psychiatrist lady wants to bang her downstairs neighbor who is half her age. Like four scenes in total dedicated to this. It has nothing to do with anything but I wanted everyone to know it because it is super weird. Thematically, it plays into the idea being split, but I guess they wanted everyone other than Kevin to be a straightforward character. --- ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ |

plasmabeam 05/19/22 7:27:02 PM #31 | As much as I loved Don't Breathe, I might love Suprak's commentary on it even more. Snake5555555555 posted... And I guess while Im on the subject of holy shit what the fuck, I should probably mention THE SCENE in this movie. I was neither frightened nor entertained by what I was watching here, but I will say this movie disturbed me more than any other film on the list, all thanks to a turkey baster and what can I only assume was weeks worth of masturbation. The whole twist of this movie is that the blind man is also a monster, and has the woman responsible for his daugthers death tied up in a room in his basement. How does a blind man who never leaves his house and would be useless navigating places he wasnt intimately familiar with manage to kidnap anyone? Great question, and the movie doesnt feel like answering it. Ill give the movie the benefit of the doubt and assume that she came to his house to apologize, but then that opens up the question of why dont the police check this place out? but I cant sit around focusing on all the ways the movie is dumb because I dont want to write out another six paragraphs. Priceless. All of it. I'm not even angry that he ranked it so low or that the movie ranked 5-8 spots lower than I anticipated. Every word he typed out was worth it. Snake5555555555 posted...

Sequels suck because once you know what the monster/evil/etc. is capable of, it becomes less scary. That's why it Aliens is such a successful sequel. It doesn't try to be a better horror movie than the original--it doesn't try to be a horror movie at all. --- ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ |

I will counter that and say that A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night is really good and while it lacks in story it is more the kind of movie you just soak in the atmosphere of. That's a fair assessment, but I wanted more story out of it. Suprak the Stud posted... WOW. Hurtful and rude. Well, I would rank Terrifier even lower, down around 36. Now, I know you're saying "but Suprak there aren't 36 movies here" but that's just how much I hate Terrifier.

plasmabeam 05/19/22 10:59:30 AM #11 | 2/10 Though not terrible content-wise, the way it's structured makes it a slog. Never been a fan of having to go back in time and play through a separate character's storyline in order to move the overall plot forward. Character wise, I remember liking Chris, being lukewarm on Hugo, and being disappointed with Geddoe. By the time everything wove together, there was no great sense of "Wow! The gang's all here!" but rather a sort of "Okay, good, now I can finish this damn game and start Star Ocean 3." --- ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ |

If you had an opportunity to re-rank one revealed movie (higher or lower), which one would it be? In other words, have the writeups changed your mind on something? Personally, I would drop A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (my #23) down to around #29. I had hoped that the writeups would help me appreciate the movie more, but ultimately they confirmed that it was just too artsy for me. When I ranked it #23, I gave it the benefit of the doubt, but looking back, I wish I had been more honest with myself about how little I enjoyed it. My original ranking:

plasmabeam 05/18/22 12:35:50 PM #396 | Lightning Strikes posted... I thought A Quiet Place Part II was every bit as good as the original, honestly. Especially the prologue which really just embarrasses the opening of Bird Box. The prologue was indeed excellent, but IMO the movie fell apart from there on. The original strongly committed to the "you make noise, you die" concept, and that defined the characters, plot, and worldbuilding in unique and clever ways. When AQP2 relaxed things to "you make noise, you get off with a warning," the spirit was lost for me. It reminds me of the scene from Aliens in which a Xenomorph gets shot and a soldiers suffers superficial burns from the acid spray. That always bothered me because in the original Alien, one drop of acid-blood can melt through several floors of the Nostramo. --- ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ |

plasmabeam 05/18/22 9:22:03 AM #388 | Lightning Strikes posted... Not just that but also what you said about the impacts of violence. You see it in Laurie and how she terrorises her daughter then acts like Michael at the end, the doctor and if is implied by the final shot of the granddaughter with the knife which goes nowhere in the terrible sequel. Yeah, definitely fits the "violence either destroys you or lives on through you" theme. Had I been a bigger fan of the Halloween franchise, I might've ranked the reboot higher than Terrifier. Anyway Im going to guess A Quiet Place because some of the earlier comments about Michael Bay as a producer make me worry that were in for some terrible opinions. I hope Im wrong! What? I had no idea Michael Bay was involved in AQP. Although, now it makes sense why the sequel abandons its established rules at many spots for the sake of action. --- ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ |

Gamecube > N64 is possible because N64 has the shallowest library of any Nintendo console. It would need OoT/MM/SM64 nostalgia to carry it anywhere. Is that enough to beat Gamecube's Melee/Prime/WW/ToS nostalgia? Probably. The issue with Gamecube is that its games were low-key for the most part. People have to stop and think, "Hmm, what was on Gamecube again?" It also doesn't help that the Cube's flagship game (Melee) is basically obsolete at this point. The only consoles with a shot at beating SNES are PS1/2 and PC. Switch could be a potential darkhorse due to its current popularity, the handheld factor, and the fact that it plays a ton of older games, but I think it would get SFF'd into the ground by SNES in a 1v1. --- ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ |

I really like Halloween 2018, it is easily the second best Halloween film and that middle portion is up there with anything in the original. And yeah I alluded to it earlier but it does Terrifier much better than Terrifier, they even have the same Jack OLantern kill. Yeah, I figured Halloween was what you were referencing the day before. Thought maaaybe you meant IT because of the clown antagonists, but Halloween and Terrifier definitely share the brutality factor. Leafeon13N posted... I have some nice outlier points banked with my lowest ranked movies. I'll be taking that crown I think. Suprak the Stud posted... I expect my 29, 27, 25, and 24 to all do well, my 17 to be top 3, and my 10, 9, 6, and 3 to drop before too long. I think I have a chance! You and Nook have a decent lead on me already though so it might be tough to catch up. With how unpredictable the past few drops have been, I'd say anything's on the table. I'm still stunned that Halloween couldn't last into the Top 15. My 30, 27, 26, 25, and 24 are all still alive, and I wouldn't be surprised if my 4 and 6 get kicked to the curb early. --- ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ |
