Looks like Eyes of Fire is coming out on Blu-ray, both standalone and as part of a folk horror box set.

20 films???

It's finally happened.

name few

I finally got to it today, and yeah, that sums up my reaction to the film. It's a technically impressive, but emotionally cold film. I haven't thought much about any new plot holes which this film might have introduced to the franchise (I'm sure there are some though), but whatever; I can handle that, just like I did with the first film. What I can't handle is feeling distant from all the characters from beginning to end.

I just pre-ordered the living daylights out of the box set.

Somehow, despite getting the NYT at home every day and loving Horror, I missed that they do this every month:

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/20/m...or-movies.html

I personally haven't seen any of these and cannot advocate for them, but they've been doing it every month for a while now so some may wish to go back and read what they've had to say or follow it going forward.

You're right. And I think I became unnecessarily aggressive about it. I became really fixated on the choice of word, "literal." Which with the context of it referring to A Ghost Story and it seeming very different from The Green Knight, in my head became a criticism. It seems like a type of word I would use for something like an afterlife story (or a story of imagination) where I'd want a looser or messier narrative structure (or logic). Which seems like a criticism I might have for a number of movies, but don't recall A Ghost Story ever triggering for me. So I'll just keep furrowing my brow on it in confusion, and just accept you seemed to see a much bigger difference in The Green Knight from the rest of Lowry's filmography than I did (though, in my case, compared to only two of his other movies).

I mean, the non-singing and dancing parts were what I wanted. But when I'm trying to put together a 12 hour movie schedule for friends, I tend to avoid movies over 2 hours to get as much in as possible.

Huh I really like Dracula Has Risen From The Grave. Oh well.

A couple of goofy horror cliches aside the new Candyman is very good.

Yay!

Yeesh! I hope you and Captain Terror stay safe. My friend who is an EMT down in NOLA is very, very concerned.

I about **** myself in the theater.

Thanks!
So far so good. A piece of my fence blew into my pool. I know, everybody cry a river for me.

Well, I hope that "Some of my fence is now in my pool" stays the extent of it for you.

Scariest thing ever to see in a horror movie, that movie is just terror
