    I am here to reiterate that Brick is a really great film

    as is Krampus

    but I saw this on sale at a Big Lots the other day

    has

    has anyone ever watched this film

    I mean

    You bought it right?

    You bought it and you're gonna tell us about it.

    Right?

    I would argue you are remembering both the original Crouching Tiger and Michael Bay films not quite right

    There is like, one moment of CG in that trailer and the rest is all practical. I loved the original and this still looks great!

    Did Michael Bay change his style from "all style, no substance" while I wasn't looking?

    One dude's desktop image was him and three other dudes fuckin' in a hot tub, and then the desktop had about sixty jpeg thumbnails loosely scattered around. They were all of him and three other dudes fuckin' in a hot tub

    I didn't spend too much time with the computer*, but I have to imagine he has it set to auto-rotate the background image. A neverending carousel of four dudes fuckin' in a hot tub.

    *There wasn't actually a single thing wrong with his computer, which makes me wonder if he has some hyper-specific fetish where he likes to make techies look at pictures of him and three dudes fuckin' in a hot tub. Just going shop to shop, asking people to "check out" his "misbehaving machine"

    I want to hurt you just for informing me that this exists and is a real thing.

    I wouldn't wish actually viewing it upon anyone.

    I just kind of assumed everyone knew about that already

    It came out like five years ago

    Apparently the guy who directed it also made this one:

    He also directed what appears to be a Twilight parody called Breaking Wind

    And the entire series of Bad Ass movies (that Danny Trejo vehicle)

    And something called Saving Ryan's Privates

    Which isn't nearly as much of a cable porn as I wanted it to be

    I think it was meant that clearly you must be misremembering something if you are conflating what you are seeing here with Bay.

    It's choreographed by Yuen Wo Ping, who choreographed the first one. And I'd argue that you either have forgotten or never watched wuxia films if you think this looks Bay-ish.

    It's a horror flick that takes place on an Indian Reservation in the 70s

    Canadian, I think?

    I haven't seen it myself, I didn't realize it was on Netflix

    I didn't even realize it was horror. The description on Netflix says it's a gangster movie where reservation life forces a forces a girl into crime.

    Looking it up, I guess I was wrong

    I made some assumptions based on this horror ass movie poster

  • PoorochondriacPoorochondriac Ah, man Ah, jeezRegistered User regular
    The brief description I read about it says it deals a lot with Indian Boarding Schools, which are pretty notoriously underrepresented in (mainstream) fiction. The HBO miniseries based on parts of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee deals with them, Metal Gear Solid V made mention of them (which was deeply surprising to me), but that's about all I can think of off the top of my head.

    They were profoundly fucked up, and I wouldn't be surprised to see a movie em be a horror movie or a crime movie. It could veer into either, or both, with very little effort.

    Danny Trejo is opening a taco joint in Hollywood ("Trejo's Tacos," of course) and I'm so, so on board. They're currently hiring for all positions, so it won't be long now.
