Goddammit Lightning. I was reading your write-up and you referenced one of my least favorite scenes in all of cinema.

Smoliv in the topic title? O_o

Im sorry, but Isabelle Adjani doesnt even give the best performance of a black-haired woman in an abusive relationship with a volatile and bipolar husband on this list.

Also, NOW Im guessing Possession.

Okay, admittedly that was harsh, but so help me if you guys genuinely eliminated Beetlejuice in 8th. No, I guess my real pick at this point is gonna be Nightmare on Elm Street. Just seems like its got potential to snag a few of those remaining low rankings, since the avant garde films seem unstoppable.

Snake, you have exdeath at 11 for changeling and predator

Yeah, I dont even need to comment at this point, do I?

Bump (today is going long)

Bumping until I get home.

Im genuinely worried for Predator at this point, because I look at the remaining 11 movies, and its the only one that doesnt feel like it has either a deep, mature tone (Shining, Possession, Henry, Hellraiser) or a very strong and distinctive directorial vision (Thing, Videodrome, Nightmare, Fly, Evil Dead, Beetlejuice).

Im gonna hope for the best and predict that Evil Dead II is similar enough to Re-Animator to end up just one point higher.

Snake, you have JB listed at 11 for both Reanimator and Pet Sematary.

Beastars

Afternoon bump.

And on that note, why not? Lets change and predict Re-Animator, because it fits the theme of recent eliminations.

Im sorry, but Im just fucking MAD at this point. I GET people not liking Gremlins, because everyone has different tastesbut it just feels like casually popular movies are held to SO much higher of a standard by this group of rankers, and it sucks to see movie after movie after movie that was actually FUN to watch get picked off while the more pretentious films on the list get to just step over that EXTREMELY low bar.

Like, as a collective, our group decided Basket Case is the worst movie on this list. Its a movie that is visually grimy and gross, the imagery in it is nauseating and disgusting, the audio is a non-stop assault of horrific noise, and the acting is godawful. Its a movie that rightfully deserves to be panned.

But then, you have Tetsuo. And while it still only placed 23rd, thats a full seven spots higher; and FOUR people ranked it as the seventh best film or better on this. Everything bad about Basket Case is repeated in Tetsuo. Bad visuals, disgusting imagery, painful audio, bad acting, and hell, off-putting rape scenes. Yet there is MASSIVE swings between the two movies (16 placements for Evil, 18 for Rockus, 22 for you, Johnbobb, and a massive 24 for Seginusand to be fair, its weird to see a 16 point swing in the other direction for Bitto). To me, that makes it seem like one movie is a sleazy, low-budget monster/slasher film and is judged accordingly, while the other is a black and white movie with subtitles and metaphors and is given a LOT more leeway in terms of its actual quality. And then I look at whats left and its likemy least favorite movies left feel like theyre being cut a LOT more slack than they deserve.

Guessing Henry again I guess. Who fucking cares at this point.

Away from home, so probably letting this run long.

Actually, Im gonna predict Videodrome, since its not on the odds board yet, and none of the stuff thats been obvious and hanging around on the cusp has gone out since Creep Show.

Bump.

Still going until I get home.
