What movies are you watching?

[Balki]

I laughed, too. Good one, Balki.

It's actually kind of a Drama/McCarthyism type flick, not really all that funny

Hellbound: Hellraiser II.

Its way more fantastic than scary, almost like a very fucked up Labyrinth. The FX are pretty cool and the first half of the movie is actually pretty good...than it kinda drags with the whole hell segment...but boy, there are some really fucked up moments, Kristy dressing in Julia´s skin, Frank trying to fuck Kristy in a weird segment with full bloody bodys coming in and out from some beds, that weird cenobite at the end...fucked up.

Are you gonna watch the rest of the series, VG? I love the Hellraiser movies, though obviously the quality varies wildly from entry to entry.

I've always thought of Hellbound as a fucked up Labyrinth too. Labyrinth is much better, though; unlike the original, Hellbound hasn't held up for me very well over the years.

[VinylGuy]

yes, ill watch them at least until the 4th one and then im planning to see the one with Ashley Lawrence comeback. These first two were the only movies i saw back in the day.

Im a huge fan of the first film. Like i posted earlier it truly feels like a dangerous and evil thing to do, to watch it. Hellbound was alright, and yes i feel the first one is superior...i guess its a good sequel anyway, the pinhead backstory is ok and it really cool to see Julia and Frank again, the real monsters of these two movies along with the doctor in this sequel.

[LoathedVermin72]

There's some cool stuff in the sequels; I wouldn't stop at four. Five is probably the second best one behind the original. The rest after five are all bad, unfortunately.

1. Hellraiser
2. Inferno
3. Bloodline
4. Hellbound
5. Hell on Earth
....
..
.....
.
6. Hellseeker
7. Deader
8. Hellworld
....
9. Revelations

[VinylGuy]

Il watch five then.

I hope they made a new one with Bradley and Barker involved in some capacity.

The Hero.

God what a beautiful movie. I loved pretty much everything about it, but Sam Elliot my god. How is that he wasnt nominated on every fucking award this plant has? Fucking oscars man. There is a scene were Elliot picks up his phone just to see some missed phone calls from his daughter and its just the best acting scene from the whole planet.

Sam fucking Elliot.

Jurassic Park III. The Spinosaurus is a really terrible design. It never looks alive like the T-Tex did. No personality.

Why did we ever allow Tea Leoni to become famous

[LoathedVermin72]

How is the animatronic stuff in this so bad? It looked so much better in JP1.

yeah Tea Leoni is a such a weird moment in the 90s.

I’ll tell you the problem with JP3: it didn’t require any discipline to attain the technology used. They read what others had done and they took the next step. They didn’t earn the knowledge for themselves, so they didn’t take any responsibility for it. They stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as they could and before they even knew what they had - they patented it and packaged it and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and sold it as quick as they could.

[LoathedVermin72]

heh

[Rangi Guy]

Exactly!

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

[Jorge]

Technically marvelous

I don't even think this is true

[BurtReynolds]

I can appreciate the cold, matter-of-factness of it, but I think their were poor technical problems and choices for me.

Other than the mix (lots of dialogue was tough to hear), what technical problems did you have?

Burt, same question.

Sound mostly.
