I thought "Blair Witch" was garbage when it came out as well and everyone else raved at me about how tense and uncomfortable it was too.

Blair Witch was utter tripe... end of!

I agree utter shite. The worst was having to deal with people who loved it saying "oh you didn't understand it. You were expecting blood and guts."

I remember being in the States the Summer Blair Witch came out 1999 on a J1. Every now and then an ad would come on the telly..'some people walked into a woods and never came back'...some shit like that. Just the handheld footage, about 15 seconds long. It was genuinely freaky and completely new at the time. Nobody knew wtf it was and even afterwards people weren't sure if it was real. There's been a million like it since, but I remember that ad still..freaky.

It's the same with black metal. I remember being 15 and seeing that shit in magazines, at the height of it all, satanists burning down churches and killing eachother, lads painted like corpses, rituals, suicides...was fukin dark as shit for an adolescent at the time living in bumfuck Drogheda, pre internet. Now you just google it, have your answer in seconds. Hearing Dissection or Emperor the first time, even Cradle of Filth when they were kicking off would give you an oul farty feeling in your Chritian brothers school.uniform.

[Pentagrimes]

Saw "La Dolce Vita" in the cinema last night, which I'd never seen before and thoroughly enjoyed, though I did come out of it feeling like I'd been in a row for three hours - similar feeling I got from "Uncut Gems" recently - as it's so chaotic. Some great bits in there though.

Saw posters on the way out of the cinema for some remastered Jodorowsky movies being re-released end of this month too. Will have to go see them on the big screen again!

Where was that Pentagrimes? I'd love to see El Topo or the Holy Mountain on the big screen.

[Pentagrimes]

The Lighthouse. Behold:
https://lighthousecinema.ie//showing/showing-4219 - El Topo (this weekend!!!)
https://lighthousecinema.ie//showing/showing-54060 - The Holy Mountain (end of the month)

Urgggh..I'm out of town when both of these are on. Can't believe they're only showing The Holy Mountain twice 

[Scáthach]

Deadly, thanks.

Not horror but myself and the missus watched peanut butter falcon, thought it was great, whodoathunk

[Juggz]

Just back from seeing Jojo Rabbit. It took a very grim and uncomfortable setting and dug a warm and funny story out of it somehow. I liked it but still feel uneasy about some of it.

Brilliant film  it does have you in stitches laughing at one moment and then gets serious and then back to stitches laughing again . The young lad and imaginary hitler scenes were  brilliant.

Have not seen El Topo yet but Holy Mountain would be great in the cinema was suppose to see it in the cinema about 2 years ago, was only one showing I had forgotten all about it and only remembered about it the day after it had happened.

I think most horror movies are shit,but i thought Blair Witch was good.

[Scáthach]

After watching the Akira inspired episode of Rick and Morty, I realised I hadn't watched Akira in years and promptly stuck it on. Still amazing, visually stunning.
But, it does make you feel old when the future setting of beloved childhood movies is now the past, (Neo Tokyo 2019). Back to the Future 2 being another case in point, where the fuck is my hoverboard ?

[Carnage]

Not to mention Blade Runner (2019).

Robocop was released in 1987 and set in 1990. Jesus.

Watched Jay and Silent Bob ReBoot last night,was a big fan of the first one and Kevin Smith movies back in the day but this isnt great.Plenty of references to the other movies and all the big names are in it,but its poor enough i thought.
