Swan's Movie Commentaries

[Sexy Celebrity]

Well, I don't agree with you. You're not open to this way of thinking about things.

[honeykid]

If you mean I don't just agree, then you're right, I'm not.

[jiraffejustin]

What movie did you guys just watch?

[honeykid]

Shivers.

[Swan]

FREDDY VS. JASON

http://cdn.bleedingcool.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/freddy-vs-jason-poster.jpg?494a0a

With honeykid and Sexy Celebrity.

[Swan]

Ready when you are.

[honeykid]

OK, play.

[honeykid]

Boiler room

[honeykid]

You there, Swan?

[honeykid]

Robert as Freddy

[honeykid]

Burn, Freddy! Burn!

[Swan]

Sh*t, sorry. Can we start over?

[honeykid]

Phillip the puppet boy!

[honeykid]

I'm at Freddy bursting out of Mark's chest.

[Swan]

Okay let me catch up.

[honeykid]

1 minute 55 in.

[Swan]

Okay, play!

[honeykid]

Eating Patricia ;)

[Swan]

I love the close-up of Freddy here. Great make-up.

[honeykid]

Hello Jason!

[honeykid]

****

[Swan]

Honestly, I know this movie is bad... but when I was 12 I read the entire script and then watched the movie a lot. I loved it. There's a lot of nostalgia and because of that, I really enjoy this movie. It's also just a lot of fun.

[honeykid]

They should play REM's Nightswimming over this scene.

[honeykid]

Honestly, I know this movie is bad... but when I was 12 I read the entire script and then watched the movie a lot. I loved it. There's a lot of nostalgia and because of that, I really enjoy this movie. It's also just a lot of fun.
I think I've only seen it once. I was not impressed. Not that I thought I would be.

[honeykid]

She's backed into hard wood.

[Swan]

I think I've only seen it once. I was not impressed. Not that I thought I would be.

I imagine if I watched it now, I wouldn't like it as much. But then, nostalgia tends to blind you from badness.

[honeykid]

MUMMY!!!!!

[Swan]

Was that Rooney Mara?

[honeykid]

I imagine if I watched it now, I wouldn't like it as much. But then, nostalgia tends to blind you from badness.
:yup: Hence my 100. :D

[honeykid]

Opening credits and **** music.

[honeykid]

1428

[Swan]

Ch ch ch
Ha ha ha
Ho ho ho
Merry Christmas!

[Swan]

Genius dialogue.

[honeykid]

Do you think I need a nose job?

What you need is a lobotomy.

[honeykid]

Don't be a total cocksmith? Wouldn't that be a good thing?

[Swan]

I always love in movies when they move like a few feet away and have a secret conversation no one else can hear from some reason.

[honeykid]

For some reason Monica Keena looks a lot more familiar than she should to me.,

[honeykid]

I've got a kink in my neck, too. Bloody annoying.

[Swan]

Holy crap, I just realized that's the chick from Ginger Snaps!

[Swan]

For some reason Monica Keena looks a lot more familiar than she should to me.,

Yeah same here.

[Swan]

She looks like the chick from Freddy vs. Jason.

[honeykid]

Looks more like her in this bedrooom scene.

[honeykid]

Folding bed. :D

[honeykid]

I didn't like the lighting, or lack thereof in that death scene.

[Swan]

I didn't like the lighting, or lack thereof in that death scene.

Typical Yu lighting. Such an auteur.

[honeykid]

That's a nice shot at the desk, though.

[honeykid]

Typical Yu lighting. Such an auteur.
I think the word you're looking for is amateur. ;)

[honeykid]

Alice Cooper's kid?

[Swan]

Those pictures turning their heads was straight out of Goosebumps.

[Swan]

Boo!

[honeykid]

Moving bushes

[honeykid]

Super stretchy Freddy Shadow

[honeykid]

He's an Uno guy

[honeykid]

Sweet dreams, monkey boy

[honeykid]

Why do people always seem to try and put the capsule together after pouring out the powder?

[Swan]

Clever monkey boy...

[honeykid]

Don't drink the Kool aid

[honeykid]

It's not the same with this dad. His dad has his head chopped off. That's not stabbing.

[Swan]

Black chick is so rude.

[Sexy Celebrity]

You're watching Freddy vs. Jason?!

[honeykid]

I'm surprised Date-a-Dork isn't an MTV show.

[honeykid]

:yup:

[Swan]

Evangeline Lilly as an extra in the background.

[Swan]

Feel free to join us, Sexy. We're half an hour in.

[honeykid]

I think that was Michael Jackson's surgeon.

[Swan]

Got your nose!

[honeykid]

Blacked-Out Obituaries is a good album title.

[honeykid]

As usual, I'm about 30 seconds or so ahead. I'll pause.

[honeykid]

Do you have this film, SC? As Swan said, feel free to join in. :)

[honeykid]

Are they sitting in a mobile tanning salon?

[Sexy Celebrity]

I might in a minute. I was eating pizza and watching "Golden Girls."

[honeykid]

This party scene is one of the few things I remember about this film.

[honeykid]

I might in a minute. I was eating pizza and watching "Golden Girls."
Isn't that SC heaven?

[honeykid]

Is Kelly Rowland less successful than Beyonce because she didn't want it as much or because she's darker?

[honeykid]

Ginger's in trouble.

[honeykid]

Worst. Field Of Dreams Reference. Ever. :D

[honeykid]

Never fear. Freddy's here!

[honeykid]

The only thing to fear is... Fear himself.

[honeykid]

Swan, are you even out there now?

[Sexy Celebrity]

Where are you in the movie?

[Swan]

Sorry something came up. I'm here.

[Swan]

I'm at 41 min.

[honeykid]

40 minutes in. Jason's just killed Ginger instead of Freddy.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Tell me when you're at 43 minutes.

[Swan]

Uh oh. Freddy and Jason are starting to become enemies.

[honeykid]

Head twist.

[honeykid]

Firery Jason walking through the cornfield.

[Swan]

I'm there, Sexy.

[honeykid]

Jason and his Flaming Sword

[Sexy Celebrity]

Okay, I'm here. Everyone screaming and running from the fire Jason.

[honeykid]

Beer puts out fire.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Gibb's dead body.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Smoking pot in the van.

[Sexy Celebrity]

This was a good movie. The last movie with Robert Englund as Freddy.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I wish he'd do one more Freddy movie.

[Sexy Celebrity]

The father killed her mother and her boyfriend saw it happen?

[honeykid]

Don't choke him. There'll be riots on the street.

[Swan]

The father killed her mother and her boyfriend saw it happen?

That's what he said. :D

[honeykid]

In the 80's that top would've been thinner. ;)

[Sexy Celebrity]

What's great about this movie is they treat everything in a ridiculous manner. If this was made today, it would be all serious and melodramatic in a Twilight kind of way. Kinda like how I feel the Nightmare on Elm Street remake was, which I despise.

[Sexy Celebrity]

She would need to lay down and be made love to by her boyfriend to comfort her over the news of her father killing her mom.

[Swan]

What's great about this movie is they treat everything in a ridiculous manner. If this was made today, it would be all serious and melodramatic in a Twilight kind of way. Kinda like how I feel the Nightmare on Elm Street remake was, which I despise.

Yeah, it's meant to be fun and over the top. And it works. It's bad but that's part of it's charm.

[honeykid]

Is there anything great about this film?

[Swan]

Is there anything great about this film?

I think the makeup effects are great. Too bad they use a lot of CGI, too, but oh well.

[Sexy Celebrity]

So HK doesn't like this?

[honeykid]

Surely that was Mark's back. :D

[Sexy Celebrity]

Freddy owns Mark's back now, though.

[honeykid]

So HK doesn't like this?

I saw it once or twice when it came out. Can't say I was impressed.

[honeykid]

You're not from around here.

[Sexy Celebrity]

This is basically another Nightmare on Elm Street movie but with Jason.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I like this movie. I swear, if they made this today, it would be HORRIBLE. I know it would. They managed to get this movie in at the right time.

[honeykid]

It's an OK Nightmare movie, but Jason drags it down, obviously. It's not terrible or anything, it's just something I didn't care for. I'm liking it a little more atm.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I like Kelly Rowland's red streaks.

[Swan]

Monica Keena has a beautiful rack. It just has to be said.

[Sexy Celebrity]

This movie has a lot of nasty humor and stuff in it.

[Sexy Celebrity]

See, like this whole scene is just f**ked -- they wanna tie her up, Kelly Rowland talks all slutty, then her father appears and then Freddy and he's all perverted.

[honeykid]

You think that's ****ed up? That's just Thursday night.

[Sexy Celebrity]

And later Kelly Rowland says the F word -- and not the common F word -- the one that's a reference for gay people.

That would never be said today.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Bizarre, creepy scene with the people with tubes in their mouths who can't stop dreaming.

[Swan]

Ugh, Freddy centipede.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Freddy catepillar.

Pot should not make you hallucinate like this, though.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I like the Freddy catepillar.

[honeykid]

Stupid Freddy worm

[Swan]

Oh, caterpillar. Not centipede. Dum dum Swan.

[honeykid]

Jason's electrifying performance

[Sexy Celebrity]

This movie is just odd. I like that, though.

[Sexy Celebrity]

There's also sort of a Nightmare on Elm Street 3 feel to it.

[honeykid]

There's a few references to earlier Elm Streets, but it all looks to modern for a real Nightmare film.

[Swan]

I am a total Lori and Linderman shipper. My two favorite characters. They should be together.

[honeykid]

Not my arm!

[Sexy Celebrity]

There's a few references to earlier Elm Streets, but it all looks to modern for a real Nightmare film.

It was modern for the time. It has a sort of late '90s/early 00's feel. But that feel is gone now.

[Swan]

My cousin and I totally stole "Welcome to my nightmare!" for a little horror movie we made.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I am a total Lori and Linderman shipper. My two favorite characters. They should be together.

I'm wondering where else I've seen Linderman. I think I've seen him in something else since this.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Some balls on them people for driving around in a van with Jason Voorhees.

[Swan]

He was in The Girl Next Door.

He's the reason I always thought Miles Teller looked familiar.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Linderman was in Fanboys. That's what I thought it was.

[Sexy Celebrity]

This movie is really plot heavy, though.

[honeykid]

This plot is the only thing keeping it interesting. Sadly, it'll end and we'll have them fighting again. :(

[Swan]

Y'all, y'all, y'all, something's wrong!

[honeykid]

A rather devilish looking Krueger there.

[honeykid]

Balls of steel

[honeykid]

What is with the butterknives? ;)

[Swan]

They should have named her Kia Sara.

[honeykid]

Who?

[Swan]

Kia.

[Swan]

Honeykid, have you seen Phenomena? Watched it the other day. AMAZING score by Goblin.

[honeykid]

OK, why Sara?

[honeykid]

Honeykid, have you seen Phenomena? Watched it the other day. AMAZING score by Goblin.
I think I've only seen a really butchered version. Can't say it did anything for me.

[Swan]

OK, why Sara?

Was just making another bad joke. :D

http://www.kyocera.eu/index.-cps-00011-Thumb.cpshomepagetabbedcomponent.jpg

[honeykid]

OK. That's about as bad as the one I thought you might've been making. :D

[Swan]

What did you think I meant?

[Swan]

Sexy totally disappeared.

[honeykid]

There's a car company called Kia, I think. I thought you might've meant one of their models.

[honeykid]

Ten years later and I feel pretty much the same, I think.

2

[honeykid]

Haven't you finished yet, Swan? Was I that far ahead again?

[Swan]

3.5 Fun flick, even if it's not very good it's quite nostalgic for me.

[honeykid]

Thanks for the commentary, Swan. If I'm about later, I'll try and do the halloween one too.

[Swan]

Cool man, thanks to you too. :)

[honeykid]

Looks like we did lose SC.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Sorry guys. Something came up and I had to go.

[rauldc14]

Let's use this thread for the Halloween one, Swan. I've already done one before in my thread.

[Swan]

Okay. In an hour and twenty minutes right?

[rauldc14]

Yes sir. Now let's pressure Sean or godoggo to join.

[honeykid]

Doubt I'm going to make it. Enjoy yourselves, though. It's a great film. :)

[Swan]

HALLOWEEN

http://trashfilmguru.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/halloween-poster.jpg

With rauldc14, nostromo87 and Theo

[Swan]

Just putting the poster up early. Meet back in 8 minutes.

[The Gunslinger45]

AGAIN?!?!?!?!?!? Wow you really can watch this over and over again!

[rauldc14]

I've gotta find it and get set up.

[rauldc14]

I'm ready. Let me know when.

[Nostromo87]

http://oi58.tinypic.com/5lb214.jpg

[Swan]

Okay. Theo, you there?

[Theo]

Ready

[Swan]

Gunslinger, Nostromo, want to join us?

[Swan]

Play!

[rauldc14]

I'm at the title page waiting. My first duplicate commentary.

[rauldc14]

Play pressed

[Swan]

They didn't reply in one second. Too slow, I start without.

[Swan]

Great opening. Subtle yet eerie.

[rauldc14]

And again, this theme music rocks.

[Swan]

And again, this theme music rocks.

I can play the entire theme on the piano now. :cool:

[Nostromo87]

i'm in

on the credits

one of the film editors is named Charles Bornstein

one letter different than Charles Bernstein, the guy who composed the music for a Nightmare on Elm St (1984), spooky

[rauldc14]

John Carpenters best film

[rauldc14]

Haddonfield, Illinois.

[Swan]

John Carpenters best film

Dude has made great stuff, but there is no denying that for sure.

[rauldc14]

I hadn't seen this film prior to this year. This is now my fifth watch.

[Swan]

I hadn't seen this film prior to this year. This is now my fifth watch.

It's addicting isn't it?

[Nostromo87]

John Carpenters best film

this and

http://oi59.tinypic.com/2vj7hco.jpg

also a sucker for Big Trouble in Little China (1986) & They Live (1988)

[rauldc14]

I have yet to see They Live.

[rauldc14]

Kid Michael with his knife.

[Swan]

Theo where are you?

I'm a little Theo short and gay

[Swan]

IT'S RAINING GUYS, SOMETHING MUST BE UP.

[rauldc14]

Driveways at 200 yards up on the right.

[rauldc14]

He hasn't spoken a word in 15 years

[Swan]

If you guys ever want to write an unsettling piece of music, write it in a time signature of 10/8.

[rauldc14]

This score deserved an Oscar

[Swan]

Guys I think Theo died.

[rauldc14]

Michael Myers killed him with a hanger.

[Nostromo87]

one of the best parts about this movie is its simplicity

i remember when i was in elementary school, and during class around Halloween-time i'd daydream, and make up Halloween stories, and draw up little doodles on my paper instead of doing whatever school work i was supposed to do

that was way before i knew about this movie. and this is the supreme Halloween-holiday movie

[rauldc14]

I agree it is very simple. But it just works so well.

There's Jamie Lee.

[Swan]

I agree nostromo, it's simplicity is what makes it work in my opinion.

[rauldc14]

Yeah I actually didn't see this movie until prior to the seventies list, when I was looking for 70s watches, and I thought I'd like this one. I was correct and bought it directly after watching it.

[Theo]

Sorry, guys. Baby woke up and started crying. Where you guys at??? I'll just skip.

[Swan]

I'm wrong. This movie works only when Michael is part of a cult guided by the stars to kill his sister.

That is so much cooler.

[Swan]

Sorry, guys. Baby woke up and started crying. Where you guys at??? I'll just skip.

I'm at 15:30.

[Nostromo87]

Sam, Haddonfield is 150 miles away from here. Now for God's sakes, he can't drive a car
HE WAS DOING VERY WELL LAST NIGHT, maybe someone around here gave him lessons

[rauldc14]

We are actually at the same place for once Swan.

[Theo]

Someone explain what happened so far pls

[Swan]

Someone explain what happened so far pls

Kid Michael kills sister.

Cut to years later.

He escapes asylum.

Targets Laurie.

Loomis is searching for him.

[Theo]

F*CK THIS I HATE BABIES

[rauldc14]

He's gonna getchu! The boogeyman is coming!!

[Swan]

F*CK THIS I HATE BABIES

The hell is a baby doing at your place? :laugh:

[Swan]

For some reason, this scene always reminds me of Hitchcock.

[rauldc14]

Because I know him. I'm his doctor you must be ready for him. If you don't it's your funeral.

[Nostromo87]

shot on the car of 'FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY'

James Cameron used a similar shot in The Terminator when Arnold drove the cop car, and again in T2 with the T-1000

[rauldc14]

North by Northwest-ish

[Swan]

Totally.

[rauldc14]

Hey jerk. Speed kills!

[Nostromo87]

this movie is all about imagining new and creative Halloween stories

John Carpenter hated it when everyone wanted michael myers Michael Myers MICHAEL MYERS over-and-over again

[Swan]

this movie is all about imagining new and creative Halloween stories

John Carpenter hated it when everyone wanted michael myers Michael Myers MICHAEL MYERS over-and-over again

I hate it too.

[rauldc14]

People dressed weird in the seventies.

[Swan]

People dressed weird in the seventies.

I like how Annie is dressed.

But then, I love Annie. She's my fave.

[rauldc14]

On Halloween everyone is entitled to one good scare.

[Nostromo87]

i'd love to hear Carpenter's thoughts on a Nightmare on Elm St '84 & Scream '96. both were made in the spirit of this movie, i'd say

all 3 of these are in my Top 10 favorite horror flicks

[Theo]

Annie's a bitch.

[rauldc14]

My top 4 horror are Psycho, Halloween, Signs, and The Ring.

[Swan]

Annie's a bitch.

That's why I love her.

[rauldc14]

Why do they do it? ******* kids. They'll do anything for Halloween. 18,19, Judith Myers.

[Swan]

Would have to think about it, but these movies are 8 of my top ten horror for sure.

Alien
Halloween
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
An American Werewolf in London
The Exorcist
The Evil Dead
Psycho
Ginger Snaps

[rauldc14]

I'd say I'm overdue for Alien.

[Swan]

Seriously dude. Get on that.

[rauldc14]

I like The ring because of Naomi Watts. I tend to overrate films if I love the actress :shrug:

[rauldc14]

Da da da da da da da da da da da!

[Swan]

Also love

Suspiria
Nosferatu (Herzog)
The Fly
Rosemary's Baby

10. Night of the Living Dead (1968)
9. Black Christmas (1974)
8. Scream (1996)
7. Psycho (1960)
6. The Thing (1982)

the two i've liked the most on first-watches this year were Eraserhead (1977) & Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979)

[rauldc14]

No Invisible Man? :(

[Swan]

Invisible Man would actually be high on my list.

[rauldc14]

I really liked Invisible Man too.

[rauldc14]

Window smash!

[jiraffejustin]

Top three is pretty easy for me, without order of course:

Suspiria
The Exorcist
The Shining

[rauldc14]

Evil was in Michaels eyes. Evil!

[Swan]

Suspiria would actually probably be high on my top ten. I freaking love that movie.

[Swan]

LASER MAN
NEUTRON MAN
I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY
TARANTULA MAN

LAURIE, WHAT'S THE BOOGEYMAN?

[Nostromo87]

blank, pale, emotionless face. The blackest eyes... The devil's eyes.

No Invisible Man? :(

that's in the teens, along with The Burning (1981), which is another fun commentary candidate

http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcxe96WvRV1rfznfjo1_500.gif

[rauldc14]

Annie has big big news.

[rauldc14]

I need to watch more horror. My wife does not watch horror though.

[Swan]

We still need to do The Burning, nostromo.

[rauldc14]

The boogeyman is outside!! OMG OMG OMG

[jiraffejustin]

If you want to watch an underrated 80s slasher, you need to watch The Prowler.

[Swan]

Annie in her undies. :randy:

[Swan]

If you want to watch an underrated 80s slasher, you need to watch The Prowler.

That's a good one. Classic Savini.
