    I love El Topo as well though, perhaps just as much as The Holy Mountain....both great films.

    X Men: Days Of Futur.............shit I don't even want to type the rest of the title. What I really want is my money back. This is a terrible film. I feel like if this film does well then the film industry is in serious trouble. They didn't even bother to make it look like a decent film, the frame rate seemed to be random and it had this annoying grain to it that made it look like they were going for a 28 Days Later look. Anyhow, the extremely random fast pace of this tedious, uninteresting adaptation of the comic, made it not flow for me. It felt very confused and boring. The dialogue is fucking awful. The effects on Mystique are fucking awful. The best scene was the extra one after the credits. The one character I thought I was going to hate had the best action scene in the whole damn thing and then they don't use him for the rest of the film, he just disappears from the script. Maybe I have had a bad day today, I have, and I saw a different film than a lot of other people but I think this is as bad as X Men 3. Great actors (Stewart, McKellan, Fassbender) being fed horrible lines and direction by an accused rapist. Drew Goddard quits Daredevil, Edgar Wright quits Ant Man, Spider Man is stuck in some ring of cinematic hell, and now this shiny turd. Star Wars, you are our only hope. XM;DOFP - X Men 3/10

    The director has been really tight lipped about this subject. The only thing I could find was a an article where the director was going off on fascist dictatorships and the spiders are allegorical to the want within the subconscious mind to create these horrible governments, how the ideas spread like spider webs, and at the center is the spider/dictator....not sure how anyone could get that out of this film though. The spiders being women could definitely be read into it as well, so who knows.

    Enemy - 8/10 - really fucking enjoyed this. So Lynch like in its walking the line of surreal versus real. The cinematography is awesome, shots are amazing. The dichotomy of the two mirror image men is so interesting to me, I was enthralled. The actor's wife is also one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. The ending and symbolism of spiders is still a mystery to me but I was entertained throughout with the dark brooding music and Gyllenhall giving his next to best performance yet with the same director of the film Prisoners, which I think is his best performance ever. I love this director, his camera movement and shot composition are so interesting, and flow so well. I am probably the only one that will enjoy this as much as I did since I have seen no one talking about it except for Squee, but he has better taste than all of you.

    Did you enjoy the Emmerich Godzilla?
  9. Atop
    the new Godzilla is way better than anything Bay or Emmerich have done. Gareth made an actual film that didn't spoil the monster aesthetic until the third act. It is a well paced, non cheese filled Kaiju film. Much better than Pacific Rim. I need to rewatch the first film but this film satisfies any Godzilla cravings I have had in my life. I never realized how much I love him until I saw this film. He is the most awesome scary version of Barney I have ever seen. 7.5/10 first two acts, 9/10 last act

    the Manson doc from 1972 is one of the best films ever made. Will watch this newer one. And Charles Manson Superstar is a Church of Satan classic. All hail the dark lord. *waits for imminent addition to FBI list*

    Holy fuck this is history that has been swept under the rug. AND IT IS ENRAGING!!!! Fuck the pigs. Everyone should watch this. If you have no idea about the MOVE organization or what happened to them in 1985 in Philadelphia, you should know.

    I know you are right for picking that avatar! The Sacrament - 2/10 - An offensively horrible film. Vice should be ashamed of themselves for letting the writers use their brand as an advert. There was nothing similar in the shooting of this film to any Vice piece I have ever seen. The acting and edits were movie magic within the found footage genre, black magic. Cuts that would be impossible. JUST FUCKING SHOOT A FILM ABOUT JONESTOWN!!!!!! A better one than the TV film made with Powers Boothe. The Knife really should have denied the use of their music. Hopefully they had no idea how terrible this film would be. The music was so distracting throughout. So the reason I really hated this film, above all other technical, acting and writing mistakes made, was the fact that they exploited the story of Jonestown. A terrible event in history. They used the horrors that took place there to try and make a horror film that was never frightening, not once. Only visually shocking. And not that shocking! Ti West is a filthy hack and has only made exponentially worse films. May he continue to make awful films. Amen.

    yep, that would freak me out. but if I would have seen Dark Skies at the same age, with the same substances....I think it would have ruined for life. I read Communion when I was 10 and it had a terrible effect on my life. I became totally paranoid about greys kidnapping me. For a good 2 years I was convinced they were coming for me. Then I saw the film and it was comical, has Walken overacting the shit out of a horrible script. The film was so terrible that it helped me to not be afraid of greys anymore. Cut to me reading Majestic, age 13, by the same author of Communion. Fucked me up again but I was old enough by this time to know that I was pretty much safe from greys. As long as they weren't real. Now I just enjoy the genre and wish it could be more amazing. The boy getting taken out of his house in Close Encounters, love that scene so much! Nothing has lived up to that since then. ahh yes the Fourth Kind, if it were just the Rubber Johnnyesque scenes cut together, with the people screaming and becoming paralyzed and contorted, that would have been rad. The rest of the film is unforgivable.

    That one didn't hold up for me, I was a bit freaked out by the ending when I was younger but I kept thinking when is he going to get abducted while watching it. Much like the previously mentioned shit fest, Alien Abjection, there wasn't enough abductin happenin. Dark Skies is a lot better I think, and the second season of American Horror Story has some rad abducting in it.

    yeah man, I didn't even make it to the Mom being folded. Horrible casting!, The kid's hair!!!!! Ahhh, such a piece of turds!!!!

    Alien Abduction 3/10 Well, they named a film after a subject that I find terrifying, from the novels Communion and Intruders, to the films Close Encounters, Alien Abduction Slumber Party and Dark Skies....this subject fucks my head up and I enjoy it for that fact because most horror films and scary stories are not that effective on me. But the idea of a species of beings that can appear anywhere, want to butt rape you, and will steal you or your family without you being able to do shit all about it? I love it. This film is a fucking turd. I expected to be a little freaked out by some of the scenes but for the four or so alien scenes, the film makers? stole the aesthetic of the 5 minute film, Alien Abduction Slumber Party by Jason Eisner, one of the best short films I have ever seen. They decided to turn it into the worst found footage film I have ever seen. Breaking all of the rules of what the genres should entail, both alien contact and found footage, they allow the nearly hour and a half film to meander without anyone actually getting abducted until the end. We meet a redneck that is an alien abduction expert, hiding in the woods, never thinking to tell people that aliens exist, and he knows how to avoid them, with shotguns and tin cans on fishing lines! Yeehaw! The kid with the camera is autistic, he seems really normal until he has to say any number and then he immediately turns into Rain Man. He apparently is really good at shooting film, he loves to edit shots with the same sound reel still playing, MOVIE MAGIC, and frame the shots really well, almost like it isn't even him shooting the found footage? WHAT!?!?!?! The edits all feel like normal film edits, nothing random or natural, amateur, still shit but it doesn't feel like a found footage film AT ALL! The focusing within the shots were done post production, the actors all seem like actors, they are an upper middle class family hanging out in the woods of Tennessee because that is where rich people go to vacation. The first main scene where we know aliens are abducting people is in broad daylight and there are empty cars everywhere, leading into a road tunnel, filled with more cars, luggage everywhere, doors open, and the family is okay with this 28 days later scenario, they feel no need to run away because they are low on gas, wah, then an Alien pops out from behind a car! My friend and I laughed oh so hard. We actually didn't finish the film because the non abducting enraged me so much. Although I did see the end of the film because it is at the beginning, or course, so I felt I could skip the actual ending. Fuck this film. Fuck IFC for releasing it. CAN SOMEONE MAKE A TRULY TERRIFYING AND PARALYZING ALIEN ABDUCTION FILM????? PLEASE!!!!!!!?

    Give the rest to the twin! This is for insurance not charity. Insurance for a new release.

    Yeah I think this will happen, 23 of my dollars went to freeing this lp from the clutches of sticky fingers. I bet we get enough money before the start date.

    I WANT SEX! and for this to be a lot easier and not so crazy. Can we take this all down a notch and just get it released through someone and not kickstarter? If not I will contribute 15 bucks to the campaign, reluctantly. Would rather just give it to Rephlex or R&S or Warp or a Bandcamp site. I agree with all of the sentiments on knowing who the fuck owns an AFX release and keeps it to themselves only to gouge AFX fans for 13.5 grand. What if it is Courtney Love? I hope it is Paul McCartney. Anyways, can't wait to hear it. Cannot wait even more for new RDJ material to come out proper style!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work Robbie.

    Grand Budapest Hotel - 9/10 - absolutely loved it, art direction at its best. Willem Dafoe made me chuckle, the acting wasn't the best but the story was awesome. The camera movement is amazing. Loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
