I remember seeing Falling Down in the theater, it was disturbing and quite sad how someone can go off the rails so quickly.

It's the small cuts, eventually they add up.

Rewatch American Beauty it's also another example of full blown, going off the rails, corporate rat race revenge. Though few weapons are involved.

THEY Live.. Much has been written about this movie. It was to the late 1980s what The Matrix was to the 2000s

Little known fact: it's actually not fiction but a documentary lol.

Love how they incorporated wrestling moves in the fight scenes.

Great concept of a movie. OBEY.

Agreed. In the same way the book "1984" is actually prophecy, and not really fiction at all. George Orwell was a modern day Prophet.

It's very appropriate that you mentioned The Matrix. Many ppl are still asleep and will in fact fight you to the death denying its existence/their stupor. What an insane world we live in.

I won't be watching another Spacey project, I find it disturbing how he pursued young men and how he was shielded from any accountability for years. I feel the same way about Marilyn Manson and R Kelly to name a few. One may have talent but that doesn't give you the excuse to rape, molest, bully and then buy your victims silence.

We can be sure HollyWeird is full of thousands more predators just like him (her), but have yet to be exposed. Perhaps some are even acting in movies we are all currently watching right now.. Directors and Producers too... Tom Ha_._.s, Steven Spi_.lb_r_ just to name two everyone's familiar with. It's part of the reason I quit paying for Netflix.

I thought the SPacey thing ended up being like Jussie and totally made up?

I am a huge Bond fan and I really like the Daniel Craig iteration of Bond but was disappointed by this one. Hope you enjoy it though.

TXSTYLE · 03-18-2022, 12:48 PM

For you Horror Fans.

This is actually the first movie that gives me pause about watching it due to the subject matter: Elderly Grandmother and Possession.
the trailer is creepy and chilling AF and the comments from viewers seem to confirm.
I may wait fire one of you guys to watch and report back...

As an aside, I appreciate some indy stuff, everyone has to start somehow, but why oh why do they have to tackle HORROR? Save for sci-fi, that's about the worst genre to do if one has a peanut-sized budget. It just looks bad even if the story itself is decent.
