    Behind The Mask is one of those films where it's genuinely baffling to me that it isn't universally agreed to be bad.

    Pretty sure I’ve only seen the original nightmare and the second. And the weird one where Freddy invades the real world and Wes Craven is like yeah dude I summoned a dream demon

    I saw them over the years and it was just a conversation one day. I don't know why but the nightmare movies came up and it was said they are really Christian pointing out why which when I saw dream warriors again it seemed entirely different

    the only nightmare movie i outright dislike is the remake, to be honest

    i even like freddy's dead!

    though i really wish they coulda gone full-blown weirdo and dug in deep into the post-apocalyptic child-free springwood

    you only get a glimpse of it and i wanted so much more

    The remake is bad but also feels kinda close to being good so when it came out I spent a lot of time workshopping a better version.

    The premise is novel enough that no one notices the writing is awful. It would have been much better served without the film crew as actual characters and just nameless documentarians like in Parks and Rec.

    The Nightmare remake does some good stuff but I fucking hate the blatant pedophile/molester back story they gave him.

    I mean, there was some implication in the original but they never came out and blatantly said it.

    never sleep again is great, but this is the nightmare documentary i always fall back on:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zc2SROzf6No

    and it's not just because heather langenkamp's production company is called "some pig"

    I have to see this one

    I never saw Alpha but I first saw the trailer for it in front of whatever the Star Wars movie was coming out around then, and I turned to my friend just as the trailer ended and said IS THIS THE ORIGIN STORY OF DOGS? way too loud in the sudden silence

    it's actually a pretty good movie!

    I really dug the pied piper imagery they went with. Too bad they did nothing with it.

    On my last rewatch I realized Freddy's Dead is actually really good for the short stretch of the kids returning to Springwood through Carlos' death. The stuff with Roseanne and Tom Arnold and the other adults works really well.

    Never Sleep Again is wild mostly because of the bit where they interview the star of like, the fifth one, and there's just some lady on a leash next to her the whole time, staring off into the middle distance, and they never acknowledge that it's happening

    That's the co-final girl from 6 who showed up to the interviews to promote her punk band (they cut all that stuff out).

    Dear Zachary is a super devistating movie that overcomes some hella manipulative and bush-league editing.

    There's a turn in the film that makes you super furious, and if it fails to do so don't worry they flash a bunch of red on screen overlayed with a man screaming.

    I couldn't make it through Paulie and stopped watching talking animal movies outright because of it. I only watched Babe a month ago at age 33. There's a point in that film where the pig is staring straight down the barrel of a shotgun. So.

    No more talking animal movies.

    I have a little cry often at movies, but the last one that really fucked me up was Moonlight.

    I was in my basement, no light at all save the TV, lying on the couch in my boxers with a way too small blanket. My stomach hurt from too much beer and potato chips. I sobbed uncontrollably for probably ten minutes after the movie ended. It’s my ultimate ugly cry. Just a chubby nearly naked dude covered in potato chips bawling like a fucking baby.

    Good movie!

    i saw gemini man!

    it is.... totally fine! just kind of, y'know, a decent action movie. kinda forgettable? i dunno, i was expecting it to be more outlandish with how much it was getting shit on

    there's like one ten minute stretch of the movie, with the motorcycle chase and stuff, that I think is really good, and then the rest of the movie is like, y'know, fine

    It's a show, but when the montage scene plays in the final episode of Good Place in season 3, it's a straight river on my cheeks, like that just flows unstoppable level.

    This is Us also did it recently in season 1 when Kate sings, river.

    The last time I cried in any capacity in a film was Dunkirk because of my bizarre fighter plane and naval battle fetish, but the last time I remember crying for a decent reason in a movie was Wall-E because of the we fucked the earth stuff.

    Movies tend to get me close to crying but the first TMNT movie will cause me to bawl if I dont compose myself quick enough

    120

    The scenes with lots of fast motion, like the motorcycle sequence, looked amazing

    The lower key scenes looked awkward at first but I think I adjusted to it

    The only time in recent years I was close to crying at a movie was probably Blade Runner 2049, because I am a whore for neobrutalist aesthetics, tales of sad robots and questions of humanity. There's a few scenes in that which absolutely get me

    Weirdly the beginning of Up doesn't make me cry. I think it felt too much like You're Supposed To Cry Now.

    Inside Out destroyed me though.

    I don't really cry that often at fiction? It's not that I haven't been moved or affected, it just rarely gets to the point where there are tears.

    He just wanted to help his buddy, but the enormity of the situation meant that all he could think of was suggesting a cologne

    Missed this post before. Babe is genuinely one of my favourite films. That little pig is so good and pure.
