Late Night With the Devil

This is out on Shudder now, should be on demand soon. I've been looking forward to it for over a year, probably, and finally get to see it tonight.

TCL Phone

Trap (Shyamalan)

Re: Trap (Shyamalan)

Yeah, good premise. And funny to put the "twist" in the trailer (not that there can't/won't be others).

I think it's good for Shyamalan to focus more on just making thrillers with the occasional...

Yes, I know. I think you've gotten tripped up. Here's the sequence:

First, you excuse these "hosted" films for not doing the same thing as MST3K because of budget:

No, I don't think it's a mere feature, it's fully transformative. Again, most of the humor from MST3K literally wouldn't work if it were not happening at the same time as the film.

And more to the...

Huh? I thought we were talking about budget being why these old shows couldn't do the overlay thing MST3K did?

It wasn't a criticism of the older fare that they couldn't manage it, production-wise (though it should be noted MST3K was a micro-budget show, so I don't think budget was really the issue). It's...

Did they comment during/over the film itself? If not, I'd say they're pretty clearly distinct, even if it'd be reasonable to say the stuff you're talking about probably influenced MST3K and the...

Re: MST3K: Anti-cinema?

Also worth noting that you don't have to go digging for it, it had a cult following that's become a, well, regular following, and was revived multiple times in various forms (Netflix, for example)....

Not sure. I assume the idea would be that it'd kind of be a "minor league" spot in practice? I'd be good with that.

I kinda wanna float some very minor category tweaks next season, too.

Re: The Movie Critic: Tarantino's next (last?) film about Pauline Kael

Wow. That's wild.

I don't really have a positive or negative reaction, really. On one hand it was such a strange idea for a film, and it's hard for me to imagine him making it in a way that feels...

Re: MoFo Fantasy Baseball - 2024 Season

I'm the king of "just wait, this is just statistical noise" and yet even know the past two weeks have felt like a third of the season. It's a struggle not to overreact when you know it.

Something related to the above I couldn't fit in gracefully: there's a joke from Demetri Martin (I think) that I really like: "I think the best part about being dumb is it makes magic better." Funny...

Also, I'll just float this like I do in so many of our exchanges: it feels like there's very little hard disagreement here, just a difference in emphasis or priority.
