taking the high road = not retaliating, or even engaging, with you. i wouldnt have the same restraint in mpas shoes. but i suppose it helps that your rule breaking just exposed him as a prestigious normal looking guy so its really nbd whereas outing you is rather cruel as you're a mentally ill neet. |

have you seen no one lives yet? |
|
Date: July 9th, 2025 1:13 PM Author: silver elite partner I should
Demons and Demons 2 are both super kooky zombie movies with great soundtracks (first one is metal, second is goth rock and post-punk) about a movie that turns people into angry demons
They're just hilarious great times. Argento wrote both of them and Lamberto Bava made them. The platonic ideal of mid-80s Italo-horror. Loads of gore and fun special effects, lots of MTV attitude, but without the more unpleasant elements that sometimes detract from Italian hack-o-ramas. |
|
Date: July 9th, 2025 1:16 PM Author: Drab Corner Ape you also need to watch the second wishmaster movie. its a very solid sequel
i see demons & demons 2 are available on prime and tubi; i'll check them out. kooky zombie shit is fun. |

loved the music and 80s vibe/aesthetic- at quite a few points i felt like i was watching a sequel to michael jacksons thriller video. fun shots/camera work in a few scenes. lol'd at the helicopter and escaping thru the roof. was overall kooky and fun.
is the sequel as good?

any chance i could get a few reading recs from you? anything dark is fine, you always rec good stuff to me |
|
Date: July 9th, 2025 6:10 PM Author: silver elite partner Two anthologies that are out of print but easy to find second hand are The Dark Descent and Foundations of Fear
It’s a really good overview of horror fiction up thru the mid 1980s or so and combines the people you’d expect like King and Barker with some very classy stuff you wouldn’t necessarily think of as “horror”.
For something a little more visceral seek out a copy of Silver Scream; this was an 80s anthology of movie themed stories and it’s all over the place in terms of tone and content but every single story is a banger. |
|
Date: July 9th, 2025 6:13 PM Author: Drab Corner Ape perfect, i think we've discussed this before but i prefer short fiction when reading horror. love anthologies. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5748177&forum_id=2...id#49087654) |

what genre of movies do you enjoy? |
|
Date: July 9th, 2025 4:39 PM Author: Metal menage goal in life Yeah, it's weird. And Kirk Hammett is the custodian of all the world's horror history and memorabilia. I worked with a guy whose whole house was dedicated to horror stuff. He was a artsy, crafty kind of guy and made/traded props and replicas of all kind of shit: monsters, costumes, weapons, pretty much anything he wants.
I don't know how I would describe what I like, maybe by what I don't like? No interest in cape shit, horror, anime, and largely don't care about fantasy/sci-fi.
Ironically, one of my favorite movies is The Crow. I guess I like romance. |

Date: July 9th, 2025 6:32 PM Author: Histrionic Hateful Newt House that's a really great question. you're getting an A just for asking it in class.

Date: July 9th, 2025 6:38 PM Author: silver elite partner I didn’t get Chinatown when I saw it last but I def should revisit (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5748177&forum_id=2...id#49087731) |
|
Date: July 9th, 2025 6:40 PM Author: Histrionic Hateful Newt House It is a bit of an iceberg film that you have to see a couple times. I recommend doing background research on William Mulholland. It's got a lot of elements of historical drama mixed in. It's a complex tale. Some of the best scenes are just random LA city council meetings. Idk it's flawless somehow.
Also a big fan of MANHUNTER if you haven't seen it. The first film about Hannibal Lecter. |

I just saw Låt Den Rätte Komma In (A Triumph, which MPA would like because it has horror elements!) as well as the Norwegian version of Insomnia (which dunks on the Chris Nolan version imo).
Dark City was awesome if albeit a somewhat flawed film. Great atmosphere film but not enough gritty REALISM for my subjective taste (noirs have to REALISTIC imo imo). |
