Honey you didn't get the Golden Buzzer on AGT for a reason. Nobody want to hear you sing Remember Me.

 

[Lily Adler]

Reminds me which one should I watch?

Only one brought to you by GDT...

@Shinobi Shaw would probably give you a Grammy.

Oh god I forgot they're making a Coco 2.

You say that like it won't be great. How many Pixar sequels have been a miss?

Cars 3 is the best Cars movie.

University is fun. Not as good as the first, but fun.

Finding Dory > Finding Nemo

I'm going to ignore the blasphemy of that last sentence. Ellen will not be celebrated in this house.

You know she's in both, right?

 

[Lily Adler]

You know she's in both, right?

Yes, but she's a mere comical sidekick in the first one at least.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Yes, but she's a mere comical sidekick in the first one at least.

She was the star of both movies.

 

[Lily Adler]

She was the star of both movies.

Oh please this is like saying Larry the Cable Guy was the star of the first Cars.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Ok please this is like saying Larry the Cable Guy was the star of the first Cars.

To kids, aka the core audience, he was.

October 18th:
Peeping Tom (1960)

Michael Powell’s Peeping Tom stands as one of the earliest slasher films and a cornerstone in the evolution of horror cinema. However, upon release, it was met with utmost vitriol — to the point that Powell's career was essentially finished in his native UK.

By today’s standards, it’s such a classy, understated film that it’s almost impossible to understand the uproar, especially from critics. Powell was simply ahead of his time.

Peeping Tom is suspenseful, beautifully shot, and anchored by Karlheinz Böhm’s fascinatingly unsettling performance as a serial killer filming the murders of his victims. Honestly, it’s kind of incredible that one of the most inventive and disturbing slasher weapons appeared in one of the very first ones.

October 19th:
A Chinese Ghost Story (1987)

I had no clue I needed an unholy mixture of wuxia and Evil Dead in my life, but I'm better for it. A Chinese Ghost Story — a Hong Kong classic about a tax collector who falls in love with a ghost — blends romance, action, and horror seamlessly.

I wasn't really feeling the first 45 minutes — the comedy didn't work for me, and the love story felt annoyingly surface-level for what’s supposed to be the film’s emotional core. But the second half is absolutely bonkers: unbelievable stop-motion effects, hardcore action choreography, world-class creature design, and a barrage of wild imagery (there's a whole boss fight against a giant tongue!) in rapid succession.

A Chinese Ghost Story went on to spawn multiple sequels, a remake, an animated adaptation, and even an erotic parody. I might have to watch more. Never stop the madness.

Ooo, A Chinese Ghost Story has been on my list to check out after stumbling across some stills from it the other day.

Gene Simmons found his equal.
