I'm being cautiously optimistic. At least we don't have to worry about Scott fucking things up more than he already has; and Alvarez has chops, so we'll see. I'm also extremely excited for this. Granted, the marketing campaign could turn out to be better than the actual film... but then, Oz...

I saw the news probably five minutes after posting that, no joke. :rolleyes:

Mixed feelings on S4, still reflecting on it. So much promise in its setup and environmental themes, which was a nice echo of Rust's comment in S1 about pipeline slicing up the land like a jigsaw... "whole place is gonna be underwater in thirty years." Then S4 didn't quite deliver on the goods...

Really wish I could pick up more on the Nostromo influence, haven't seen much of that at all. Maybe in the ice caves... Definitely caught the Dyatlov vibes though, I actually thought of that incident when they discovered the scientists' bodies.

I'm likewise not smitten with it; I just thought E3 was strong in its pacing and presentation. E4 felt like a letdown afterward. S1 had a remarkable arc and narrative pacing, which ramped up to the robbery fuckup with the Crusaders in E4 and finding Ledoux in E5. After that, E6 was a lull...

I'm sure most people here haven't heard of the hidden gem Knives Out.

This Sunday was the best episode so far of the new TD season, I thought. I'm all in for the horror deep dive. Let's see where this goes.

It was not the return to form that critics claimed. I'll withhold judgment until I see the rest of the season. Also, that CGI. Woof.

I can't wait for you to finish the series. Kendall might not be actively malicious, but he's passively malicious. I'm not sure it's better, but it does garner more sympathy somehow (although he's cringey as fuck).

I just saw the ad for this show yesterday. Looks really cool.

Pretty sure they blew their entire budget on Crowe. There weren't even any good scares. Just a bad horror script.

I should change my handle to "Cosmic Horror Guy."

I found this movie endearing, although I hear you about length. For whatever reason, the run time didn't bother me. I enjoyed the opening frame narrative (which I thought was compelling on its own) and all the metaphysical, paranoid cult stuff. I also really liked the scene when the protagonist...

Finally checked out Enys Men. Doesn't deserve to be called horror, but a really good film nonetheless, provided you're into experimental shit. There's virtually no dialogue. The shots of the Cornish isle are wonderful, and the use of a legit disused mining site was a nice touch. I also really...

New Rome dropped, I actually think it's one of his best in a long time:

Finally watched The Outwaters on Screambox, dir. Robbie Banfitch, found footage horror (maybe ecohorror?). First 45 minutes move slowly from intimate footage of friends/family coming together to film a music video in the Mojave, to gentle but unsettling flourishes of ecohorror (weird atmospheric...

I went through an Auster kick years ago, read the New York Trilogy, Leviathan, Moon Palace, and In the Country of Last Things. Enjoyed them all, haven't read any of his more recent material.

I was disappointed with S2, although it had its moments. My main concerns had to do with what I thought were killer images dangled in S1 that failed to find even a mention in S2, e.g. . I'm not saying I wanted those things resolved or explained (I realize the writers have said they have a...
