Reds
Land and Freedom
Pretty Village, Pretty Flame (Somewhat)
Cargo 200
The Trotsky
Baader Meinhof Complex
Judas and the Black Messiah

I've watched Reds and Baader Meinhof Complex and Judas and the Black Messiah
All of them seemed mediocre artistically and cowardly centrist ideologically

>>37482
Reds isn't even really about politics, it's just a really long romantic melodrama

>>37474
>Pretty Village, Pretty Flame
always hated that translation. "Nice Villages Burn Nicely" is a better translation, because the word "lijepo" means both pretty and nice in serbo-croatian.

I've seen only a few other threads about horror on here and they seemed too specific, so I thought I'd make a broader one.

How do you feel about the current state of horror media? To me it seems at it's always been in a way; a mixed bag. However I feel like I've noticed this trend and, correct me if you think I'm wrong, a lot of more successful recent horror seems to be more creator-driven than in the past.

This is natural I think, as the internet has opened a lot of opportunities for more unique visions and riskier decisions that large studios would otherwise reject.

In a strange sort of symbiosis, though, these large studios attempt to acquire these successful creators and even properties for themselves; see the phenomenon of Slenderman for example. Once an entirely community made, solely internet creation has gotten several of his own movies, and has by and large become an 'artifact' of sorts of 2010's-era web. Studios cannibalize these unique properties and, once they've made some modicum of a profit, utterly destroy the integrity of them, leaving communities to look for the next big thing in horror.

With that aside, feel free to discuss almost literally anything horror related here; movies, books, ARGs, games, creepypasta (the rare good kind, if you can find any).

Get off your high horse and read a fucking book yourself, or better yet learn reading comprehension, you strawmanning smart ass.

Anyone seen this? I'm reading the book about Showgirls by Adam Nayman, and apparently he really liked this one.

caricatures and political posters also welcome

These are extremely cool and all but these are posters, not political cartoons… right?

They're technically both since their messages are political.

modern simpsons fans are like trots in that they heap praise on the early seasons while they decry later seasons as "not real simpsons!". in reality all seasons are actually existing simpsons and while the later seasons may not be perfect they are still deserving of critical support from dedicated fans. some fans go so far as to point out that even the early seasons had their problems, despite what trots claim, most notably Some Enchanted Evening and Homer's Odyssey. as good Groeningists we should realize that the simpson is not a state of affairs that is to be established, an ideal to which episodes have to adjust themselves. we call the simpsons the real movement which abolishes the present state of things. the conditions of this movement result from the episodes now in existence.

Recommend me anything to watch.

Is that TV/Movie, or TV Movie?

How about film-length youtube videos like The Haircut?

Watch Showgirls. Jacques Rivette considered it Paul Verhoeven's best film about America. I agree with him.

Youtuber Quinton Reviews made a roughly 36 hours long iCarly cinematic multiverse video essay/review/recap, nothing of value but fun as a filler noise for background. He will likely do even more videos since iCarly, Victorious, sam and cat and Fred are only things he has done videos about and thats barely the half of nickelodeons shows that are in the same multiverse. I am not proud of the fact that I have watched these videos at least twice.

I am fasting starting tomorrow for 46 days while reading important books to train my mind and body. Wish me luck.

Motivation, anons. There are 3 easy things you can do to improve your motivation. The bonus is that they will also improve almost everything else in your life.
>go to bed for 10 hours before you have to get up and hopefully fall asleep soon after. Do whatever internet shit you have to do in bed. Heavily blue light filter all screens. The aim is to get 8 hours good sleep.
>Walk fast outside for 40 minutes, in the sun is best. Any sun. Many people, even in sunny countries. are vitamin D deficient which affects motivation
>Cut out sugar, eat as much real food without sugar as you like. Blood sugar spikes affect concentration and motivation.
You will find reasons why you cannot do these 3 easy things. Capitalism insists that you do the opposite and take adderall or ritalin for motivation and ambien to sleep. It doesn't care about your quality of life or your health.

LMAO what? Do you mean Disney Star Wars? Because old star wars up until the prequels did exactly that; slow and methodical space sea-battles, although both series had their different approaches

Considering how godawful Terminator Dark Fart was and how bland Abatap 2* was, I have little faith in Cameron anymore. Spielberg's Ready Player One** was just "reference; the movie" with a badly made plot that rips off every "VR" movie before it, like Tron, while pretending to be about "freedom" or some shit. Other films under his production like the Jurassic World series have been pretty lame too, so I have doubts that there would be much difference if either of those 2 made/owned Star Trek properties, rather than Kurtzman. As a side note Kurtzman is also one of the creators of Transformers 2, and CBS in general produces very shoddy series, so is it really a surprise CBS Star Trek sucks? Hollywood is all but dead at this point.

[b]Nova the Squirrel[/b]: Don't be put off by the picture of the lame title screen. This is a full-blown side-scrolling platform adventure that would haven been worthy of official publishing back in the day.

Classic yet controversial genre. Of course, it falls into tropes and mythologizes this era. At the same time, you have to admit, it can be good media. Share your favorite films, books, games and etc.
My favorite western scene was the end scene of The Searchers. I don't know why but the music, the framing of the shot. And maybe its because it was the first film to properly introduce me to western films, but I love it.

Brazilian cinema had a few western-inspired movies about the cangaço era and the most famous director, Glauber Rocha, just happens to be a massive Marxist with his favourite topic being religion as the opiate of the masses. Deus e o Diabo na Terra do Sol (known internationally as "Black God, White Devil") is about a cattle herder who kills his own boss and flees to join the religious zealot criminals he meets along the way, and Dragão da Maldade contra o Santo Guerreiro (also known as "Antonio das Mortes") is a sequel about the previous bounty hunter antagonist who is guilt consumed about being hired to hunt down the last remaining cangaço group and ends up joining them against the town's oligarch. You can find both on YouTube with decent English subtitles and I deeply recommend them if you enjoy third world surrealism, characters ranting in long proses, and wacky kayfabe fights.

Whoops, my mistake. I didn't know Raimi directed it as well? That's pretty cool. As I say, it's been a while since I've seen it.

Is anyone else going to watch Scorsese's new Western film that's coming out?

File: 1693413352432.jpg (254.73 KB, 1500x999, thesistersbrothers.jpg)

Anyone seen Sisters Brothers? Saw it sometime last year. I'm too smol brain grug to write a review so I'll just say I enjoyed it a lot. Loved the ending. Suprisingly comfy at times.

Really appreciate the small moments of them doing & experiencing things like simply getting food, the toothpaste, visiting the big city, showering in the hotel. Solidifies the setting as more than just pastiche. Even depicts pre-cartridge revolvers accurately. They actually swap out cylinders to reload mid fight. Thought the gunfighting was great as well. There's a heft and power to how the revolvers sound.

For a Few Dollars More is arguably the best of the "Dollars" series, which often is associated with Once Upon a Time in the West and Duck You Sucker / Fistful of Dynamite.

Fievel Goes West is like a fever dream, especially with the context of the original American Tail movie clearly taking place in the 20th century and having a much more serious tone. That kind of heightens it to feeling mythic. It's also notable for having Jimmy Stewart's last role.

>>35371
The Coen version of True Grit is great. One of the few times Matt Damon is used well in a more recent movie, where he feels like an actual character in the world and not milking star power. The whole cast is perfect and it nails the nihilistic tone it's going for.

High Plains Drifter is a classic and one of Eastwood's first films as director. It really leans into the surrealism and mystery without going full gonzo like El Topo or something. Dead Man is kind of similar to that but more restrained, it feels like it works on an almost "fairy tale" logic but also has the nihilist/absurdist tone perfect.

Shanghai Noon gets points for Chinese representation in the West (surprisingly not a lot of examples despite the rich story potential as well as the large Chinese movie market today). Only other example that springs to mind if Blazing Saddles which I'm kind of surprised nobody mentioned yet but maybe it's just too low-hanging fruit. It's also more of a Hollywood-meta parody film than a western anyway, so maybe it doesn't count.
