    So far, there have not been that many Dalmatians in the movie.

    Strangely enough using CG dogs actually resulted in more traditional analog dog deaths during production

    I heard that if a dog on a movie set gets killed by misadventure everyone who saw it happen gets fifty thousand bucks

    I heard they actually taught some dogs to push women over cliffs but they became too good at it and were doing it to everyone so they had to be put down and replaced with CGI.

    Malignant is the horror version of the octopus playing the drums in Aquaman extended to 90 minutes.

    I finished watching it, and I quite liked it, the music was quite fun and the fashion was awesome too.

    The thing I didn’t like about it was she turned evil against her friends (or treated them like dirt) way too quickly on her journey to be the guy that she ends up as on 101 Dalmatians.

    I also don’t like that they showed Dalmatians as aggressive. I’ve never seen an aggressive Dalmatian.

    Dalmatians are hard to train due to being inbred and dumb as shit. I’ve never known an aggressive one though

    I suppose ill-tempered might be a better descriptor than aggressive - that specific sort of snappy

    Malignant was great

    It's rare that a movie can hit both the modern trashy horror movie I want and the 70s-80s trashy horror movie I want

    Also just some fucking incredible stunt performance

    Even though I've been feeling done with Marvel, a friend convinced me to come watch watch Shang-Chi with him and I honestly had a good time. Like most Marvel movies, I think the character work and plot machinations here are pretty surface level and don't have the depth to stand up to scrutiny. But the reasons I'd found Iron Man, Captain America, Guardians, the Avengers movies, etc. so engaging had been the charm and easy chemistry of the leads. Shang-Chi was the first Marvel product since Endgame that I found similarly charming.

    That whole fight scene was incredible

    Malignant spoilers
    I know nobody will believe me, and rightly so, but my partner and I figured out the twist pretty early - I recognized the fact that they had a contortionist doing backwards work around the bed stabbing scene, and she connected the dots between that and the traumatic head injury, and, well, we've both seen a lot of horror movies

    But still, the way it culminates and the incredible fight work that actress does is simply stunning - I legitimately can't think of anything quite like it

    You can guess the twist in malignant pretty easily but there’s just still no way to prepare you for it when it happens

    I’ve never seen anything go so balls to wall crazy so hard, on every level

    A friend asked me “so is it good or bad?” And I was like, yes? It is what it is so hard, like to the maximum of whatever it is, that’s what it is

    It feels like a love letter to a lot of horror eras at once

    Like there's the giallo stuff that's been mentioned a lot (and there is a bunch of giallo slasher in there), but there's also a bunch of like, late 90s early aughts asylum horror feeling stuff, and some Sci-Fi original material (mostly in the first five minutes), and a bit of X-Files, and so on

    I signed up for a free week of Shudder (a streaming service specialising in horror movies, some of which they produce themselves). If you're a big fan of trashy horror movies in general it is absolutely worth subscribing to, but for anyone else... well, it's certainly worth signing up for the free week. Spend 15 minutes scrubbing through their entire catalogue and adding stuff you like to your watch-list, and if you watch something every night you can probably get through it all before the trial ends.

    Honestly? This was something I struggled with, because they're both incredible

    I think the Mummy one edges it out because it is super fast and has tremendous sound design on the impact, but the one in Malignant goes for distance and you see its entire travel time and by god it's fucking funny

    Wow guess I'm in the minority then

    Malignant had some fun stuff in it (yes, the chair!), but I don't think it's good at all. It's all over the place, and the main actress is not very good, either.

    I will say that I had the feeling that it could work in a tv show format, with the Pixies cover as the theme song. The cop characters certainly would have played better on a tv show.

    Oh well.

    Well I wouldn’t say you’re in the minority generally, it’s reviewed pretty terribly and even though I enjoyed it it’s arguably a terrible film depending on what you’re looking for

    Also I wouldn’t say the main was a bad actor, it’s just no actor on earth could deliver some of those lines and come out the other side unscathed, especially some of the ending lines

    both pretty good imo

    Yeah, the opening makes it seem like a cheap 90s horror (deliberately seemingly) and I was about to tune out at that point and was stunned it got made, but it does get more interesting as time goes on. I can see why the opening would make people discount it entirely. That
    prison cell
    scene is pretty comical as well.
