i heard it generated a lot of buzz

Yeah, it was a very big hit in 86. Cronenberg's most commercially successful film. It's one of those films I learned about from references in pop culture long before watching it. It had been a while since I'd seen it, and I'm blown away by how powerful and emotional it is. Great practical effects too. I choose not to acknowledge your pun.

The Fly was the first and probably only movie to give me a nightmare, even if I was 7-8. I was supposed to be asleep, but snuck down and watched parts of it from the corner of the room. A few years later (maybe 11-12), I watched it, and loved it.

Me too, except I was watching for the first time (unless you count catching a few horrifying minutes on TV as a child)

Nightcrawler

Think there is a good chance I will enjoy this even more than the first time I saw it. Thought it was a good movie, but didn’t fully hit me the night I saw it in 2015. This will only be the second ever time seeing it.

I'm planning on watching nightcrawler this weekend (will be my 3rd time)

Like a lot of people it seems, I also saw The Fly on TV at too young of an age and it unsettled the shit out of me. It was one of the first truly disturbing movies I remember seeing. I then went through a bit of a phase where I watched it a bunch.

I think you’re right. Really good start so far.

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.

love this one. Still haven't seen Velvet Buzzsaw.

intersting i didn't realize was made by same guyyy .. may have to watch it but reviews don't look gr8

so far, Smile is OK. I don't like the little attempts at humour. For instance, a guy is kind of hitting on bacon, and gets shot down. It's all a very serious tone, until we focus on a nurse who's been standing there quietly, who says, "you know she's engaged, right?" "yeah" a beat... "well, I'm single!" in a very sassy way and then we cut away

feels like a totally unnecessary joke, and not even funny.. this kind of thing has happened several times already and I don't like it

Posted: **Thu March 30, 2023 4:42 pm**

I found it a bit on the lame side. And there's a very exciting moment that makes it feel like the whole movie is going to be turned on its head, but they back away from it very quickly. I didn't hate it but I did end up feeling somewhat disappointed with it. It needed a bit of oomph.

Posted: **Thu March 30, 2023 4:44 pm**

yeah i'm already feeling that vibe.. not terrible, well-enough made, but kind of annoying in several ways

and i feel like an asshole for saying this, but I can't help thinking that if I were bacon i'd get that mole removed from my face

Posted: **Thu March 30, 2023 4:55 pm**

but that birthday party scene just took it up a notch or two for me.. kind of more hilarious than scary though

sweeet jesus some of this acting and dialogue is reaaalllly bad .. and the directing/camera work is very amateurish sometimes

Nightcrawler really was excellent. Easily a top ten movie from 2014.
