      @Cynical Frenchface aside from the technical aspect(which was objectively Well done) what makes a good horror movie is pretty subjective. I love the time piece and the whole concept of recreating a puritan fable but I can see why a lot of people wouldnt really care much for it

    • @eldenlean5221
      @eldenlean5221 4 роки тому +28

      @Cynical Frenchface the script is one of the best parts tho, its meant to be disjointed, its meant to be like a scare story puritan moms would tell their kids to make them behave, sort of like a dark fairy tale. And thats also the whole point of thomasin, as a puritan girl she doesnt have agency. She was about to get sold ib exchange for some cows lol. Her whole character arc is getting that agency, breaking away from her family, becoming her own person. Leaving the pure but restricted stage of being a kid into the edgy world of being a teenager/young adult.

    The action in The Nice Guys was good! Well shot, well edited and with excellent sound. A movie doesn't need exploding city blocks and complex choreography to be exciting. All it needs, as you said, are characters that we care about and a sense of actual danger, which The Nice Guys had.

    The Greasy Strangler sounds similar to a short story my friend wrote for English class back in 1994 called "the Naked Midget". I believe the main character was a little person and a detective who, when trying to solve a crime, would get naked and grease himself up. I don't remember all the details, but it was pretty damn funny

    I can't believe I didn't remember this at first, but Mike and Jay's idea about it being funny to watch people trying to kill themselves is the subject of a great episode of Satoshi Kon's Paranoia Agent, wherein a group of people form a suicide pact but just can't seem to find a way to act on it. It's a funny, dark, and heartwarming episode that you can pick out of the show without needing much context if you don't want to watch the previous episodes. See it!

      Tyler Bioshock R I'm a huge Kubrick fan, but the Shining is actually one of my least favorite films of his. The cinematography and musical score are great, but the performances of Jack Nicholson (more goofy than scary) and Shelly Duvall (whiny and annoying) really bring it down for me.

    2016 has been a pretty good year for sort-of slow-burn, thoughtful genre films. Definitely agree with Jay about "The Witch"- it's also my favorite film of the year. I also really admired "Arrival" and "Hell or High Water." To me, they are the three best of the year (that I've seen), and have some interesting similarities in how they portray their respective genres in a more deliberate, character-centric fashion.
