Wait, the first one?

Yeah, first one is really good. A very solid script & direction. The rest - not so much. Some cool deaths here & there.

 Tue Oct 01 21:30:52 +0000 2013

I'd say the second one is worth watching for some elaborate kills. Tony Todd needs to eat too!

 Mon Oct 07 00:30:41 +0000 2013

Dawn of the Dead? Zombieland? :(

 Mon Oct 07 01:27:31 +0000 2013

Ughhh...

 Mon Oct 07 01:33:50 +0000 2013

Most of them you have mentioned. The ones I found "fine" you'd probably hate.

 Mon Oct 07 01:42:45 +0000 2013

Yep. Over the last decade I think the most successful horror films are the ones that mix it with something else.

 Mon Oct 07 01:47:23 +0000 2013

Plus out sensibilities regarding the genre are very different. Have you seen Hellraiser 5?

 Mon Oct 07 01:58:01 +0000 2013

It's my favorite direct-to-video horror sequel. Scott Derrikson established his horror-detective movie with it.

 Mon Oct 07 02:05:16 +0000 2013

I'm saying all that because two years ago he did Sinister, which is pretty much the same genre. I liked it.

 Mon Oct 07 02:05:50 +0000 2013

And I think he's making another movie about a detective in NY who runs into something paranormal. So he hit his niche, I guess.

 Mon Oct 07 02:06:20 +0000 2013

I've listened to a podcast he did with Kevin Smith & he says that all of these other projects are very uncertain.

 Mon Oct 07 02:15:54 +0000 2013

Another pretty good thing about Sinister is that it's cheap. 3 mil. It cost nothing by today's standards.

 Mon Oct 07 02:16:56 +0000 2013

It's a cool detective mystery movie with a horror twist. Pretty much like Inferno, which I saw around 2001 and instantly liked.

 Mon Oct 07 02:24:31 +0000 2013

Just rewatched the Sinister trailer and it's nothing like the movie :) Which is actually a good thing.

 Mon Oct 07 02:30:30 +0000 2013

It was okay. It was well acted and well made, but obviously derivative and predictable. You know, just like EVERY exorcism movie is

 Mon Oct 07 02:31:29 +0000 2013

You have seen "1408", right? Nothing new in the genre, but I though it was very well executed for a PG-13 horror flick.

 Mon Oct 07 15:03:31 +0000 2013

I like the game a lot, despite its few shortcomings. Great cutscenes too!

 Mon Oct 07 15:05:15 +0000 2013

Eh. It's alright. Sector over sector is fake. No collision with actual 3d models. Sprites are pretty low res.

 Mon Oct 07 15:06:38 +0000 2013

I like DF better because of the art style. Outlaws looks too cartoony to me with its thick lines & solid color fills.

 Mon Oct 07 15:07:34 +0000 2013

It's great, although the engine is not doing it any favors. Play on highest difficulty.

 Mon Oct 07 15:13:54 +0000 2013

I think the highest difficulty is how the game was always meant to be played. It eliminates run & gun and forces you to be careful.

Yep yep. All for very very cheap too.

 Mon Oct 07 19:55:18 +0000 2013

As well as John Torrurro's brother! And most of the other people. Very stylish. But it's even cheaper than you think.

 Mon Oct 07 20:04:43 +0000 2013

It was almost a bigger movie. Bob Weinstein said he wanted to make a non-Hellraiser movie with a big budget if only Derrickson...

 Mon Oct 07 20:05:52 +0000 2013

... would change the ending. He refused.

 Mon Oct 07 20:06:15 +0000 2013

Most people disregard Inferno in favor of more fan-serving Hellseeker. And that's a fan shame.

 Mon Oct 07 20:13:20 +0000 2013

I like that. Cenobites really weren't in the first movie much either. Peter Atkins turned them into monsters of the series.

 Mon Oct 07 20:15:17 +0000 2013

It's even less of a horror movie. But I think it's well made & well written.

 Mon Oct 07 20:24:30 +0000 2013

Yep. He did a great podcast with Smith & apparently wrote a very detailed (& expensive) Paradise Lost script.

 Mon Oct 07 20:35:05 +0000 2013

It's not worth it really. His remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still is pretty meh.

Insidious. 45 minutes of bullshit scares, then it sort of gets interesting, but waaay to cheesy to be effective.

 Mon Oct 07 23:44:00 +0000 2013

I'll probably watch the second one someday, but honestly the first made made me giggle so many times.

 Mon Oct 07 23:50:04 +0000 2013

I don't understand why it needed to be so goofy. I literally giggled through the last 30 minutes.

 Tue Oct 08 00:51:27 +0000 2013

I think the pacing is prefect. And I really dig the neo-noir detective story thing. And the Jacob's Ladder-like mindfuck.

 Tue Oct 08 01:35:08 +0000 2013

The moral was don't drag your family along if you're trying to repeat you past success.

 Tue Oct 08 01:43:19 +0000 2013

Derrickson isn't involved with it, from what I understand

 Tue Oct 08 01:58:13 +0000 2013

I guess he agreed after all then.

 Tue Oct 08 02:00:15 +0000 2013

They probably promised him money & another movie deal.

 Tue Oct 08 02:02:13 +0000 2013

Oh well. I'm still excited about his NY occult detective movie.

 Tue Oct 08 02:09:06 +0000 2013

You might as well check out Hellraiser 6 then. Also a similar film. Fans like it a lot. I think it's okay.

 Tue Oct 08 02:12:37 +0000 2013

It has its moments. It's alright for a video flick. Hell, I even like some aspects of 7, which is universally hated by everyone.

 Tue Oct 08 02:24:14 +0000 2013

just looked. Inferno 5.4? Too low! Hellseeker 4.9? I think it's at least 5.5 :)

 Tue Oct 08 02:26:44 +0000 2013

It's funny how Hellraiser fans gush over 2 & 3. Because they are both pretty shitty.

 Tue Oct 08 02:27:25 +0000 2013

idk about that. NOES sequels are the most imaginative out of all horror franchises. Not to mention actual theatrical movies.

 Tue Oct 08 02:29:30 +0000 2013

Two is rather poorly done & I never liked the direction they took the story in. 3 is ludicrous. 4 is a mess.

 Tue Oct 08 02:30:53 +0000 2013

3 is my favorite besides the original. 4 is also fine, albeit too hip. I enjoy 2 as well, despite its various faults.

 Tue Oct 08 02:34:29 +0000 2013

Yes, but ED almost doesn't count, since it reinvented itself & took a very different direction.

 Tue Oct 08 02:38:53 +0000 2013

I don't look at Romero movies as sequels either. Re-Animator 2 is crap, I don't care what you say. Aliens is awesome.

 Tue Oct 08 02:45:50 +0000 2013

In fact, this is a good point. All these movies (Except for Re-Animator 2) did something else. Aliens became an action flick

 Tue Oct 08 02:46:21 +0000 2013

Exorcist 3 is a weird detective story with a possession centerpiece. Dawn did all kinds of new things.

 Tue Oct 08 02:47:26 +0000 2013

Actually, fuck Hellseeker! Go rent Coraline instead :)

 Tue Oct 08 02:52:56 +0000 2013

I actually think more character development was great. Cameron's decision to make Ripley motherly was perfect.

I think as far as 3D adventures go, GK3 is one of the best. Yes, there were a couple of puzzles that were INSANE, but

Hello people of the Internet! With the recent Gabriel Knight news, I think it's appropriate we talk about remakes & updates #MorningDOSTalk

 Wed Oct 09 12:33:02 +0000 2013

And I don't mean current ones, I mean from back in the day #MorningDOSTalk

 Wed Oct 09 12:33:33 +0000 2013

Like, for example King's Quest AGI version vs. SCI version #MorningDOSTalk

 Wed Oct 09 12:34:29 +0000 2013

RT @billybob476: @dosnostalgic lol, just saw the caveat. I prefer the SCI remakes, might be because my first Sierra game was SQ4.

 Wed Oct 09 12:36:17 +0000 2013

Yes, but it's not for DOS

 Wed Oct 09 12:38:51 +0000 2013

I've voiced my opinion on Sierra CD updates yesterday (if you missed it, my opinion was they are shit). BUT I enjoy LSL6 CD version a lot.

 Wed Oct 09 12:40:22 +0000 2013

CD version of LOOM is dreadful. I don't care how much nostalgia you have about it. Get the floppy release & play it properly #MorningDOSTalk

 Wed Oct 09 12:41:43 +0000 2013

I hated that CD version of VGA Money Island replaced the interface #MorningDOSTalk

 Wed Oct 09 12:43:23 +0000 2013

Unless it's the first Gobliiins game, stay away from EVERY Coktel Vision CD update. They are awful #MorningDOSTalk

 Wed Oct 09 12:48:48 +0000 2013

I generally like Sierra VGA remakes, even preferring LSL & QFG VGA to the originals. #MorningDOSTalk

 Wed Oct 09 12:50:04 +0000 2013

That being said, Space Quest VGA is pretty shitty & Police Quest loses half the fun because the parser is gone #MorningDOSTalk

 Wed Oct 09 12:51:03 +0000 2013

VGA & they nicely updated Callet's music. And narration for the interludes.

 Wed Oct 09 12:56:52 +0000 2013

Nope. Everything is high res.

 Wed Oct 09 12:57:09 +0000 2013

Yes

 Wed Oct 09 12:57:19 +0000 2013

It had dialogue shortened, music absent during interactive moments, no closeups, bullshit VGA palette.

 Wed Oct 09 13:06:33 +0000 2013

I'll openly admit that I can handle CD versions of Inca & a Lost in Time, but that's about it.

 Wed Oct 09 13:08:25 +0000 2013

Also takes away part of the procedural thing. DROP THE GUN. GET ON THE GROUND. HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEAD.

 Wed Oct 09 13:11:18 +0000 2013

I despise the CD version.

 Wed Oct 09 13:20:56 +0000 2013

Still shit. I don't think the VGA palette they picked fits at all. LOOM had some of the best EGA art

Unfortunately Chaosium claimed copyright on anything CoC related for the longest time, so it had to be licensed.

It most certainly isn't all CGI. Hell, even the ships are still models.

For the underwater & chase sequence only. The rest is your usual animatronics + Tom Woodroofe in a suit.

 Thu Oct 24 02:07:04 +0000 2013

I don't think he's a good fit for the horror genre. Alien 4 is more like a goofy space action flick anyway. Really silly at times.

 Thu Oct 24 02:12:25 +0000 2013

Those were both co-directed with Marc Caro, who's definitely into darker stuff than Jeunet. Hence Vidocq & Dante 01.

 Thu Oct 24 02:18:37 +0000 2013

Their professional split happened because of Alien 4. Caro didn't want to work for a studio. He did the character costume designs.

 Thu Oct 24 02:24:35 +0000 2013

To be fair, although I really like what Jeunet+Caro+Pitof did in City of Lost Children, my favorite Jeunet film is without the 2.

 Thu Oct 24 02:25:35 +0000 2013

But it paved the way for Amelie! Jeunet was missing home so much, he wanted to make a romantic movie in Paris!

 Thu Oct 24 02:27:28 +0000 2013

True, they are very lighthearted, even the war one. If Jeunet is all sunshine, I wonder how him & Caro got along so well.

Nope. He was writing for Piper and David.

How have you not seen this film a thousand times by now?

 Mon Oct 28 22:08:32 +0000 2013

The new interviews Red Shirt Pictures did for Shout/Scream Factory releases of They Live & The Fog are fantastic.

 Mon Oct 28 22:09:42 +0000 2013

Wow

The Thing was the only film to actually scare me as a child. Seen it in the 3rd grade & didn't watch the repeat the next day :)

 Mon Oct 28 22:14:59 +0000 2013

That's Dean Cundey. Fantastic cinematographer.

 Mon Oct 28 22:36:25 +0000 2013

His collaborations with Carpenter are the best. The man knows how to use Panavision cameras.

 Mon Oct 28 22:40:09 +0000 2013

Cundey has a very specific lighting style. He likes contrast of bright colors and cascading light. Great look.

 Mon Oct 28 22:41:42 +0000 2013

New Blu-ray has yet another color timing. Once again Cundey approved.

 Mon Oct 28 23:21:22 +0000 2013

I think all the tv cut is on the new Blu-ray, but I don't own it (yet), so I can't say for sure.

It's the perspective. Plus it got squashed a little because of the wide aspect ratio.

Director and writer bail on the Evil Dead 2. Bruce Campbell says no Army of Darkness 2. Oh well.

 Wed Oct 30 16:44:56 +0000 2013

But at the same time co-writer of the Evil Dead Remake said that Sam is actively working on Army of Darkness 2.

 Wed Oct 30 16:54:54 +0000 2013

It's a combination of both. The gunshots are mostly CG, unless in a close-up.

 Wed Oct 30 16:55:36 +0000 2013

Romero's Survival of the Dead has cheap, awful cgi. Land actually has a budget.

 Wed Oct 30 16:56:28 +0000 2013

I don't think effects are mutually exclusive. Cg is better for some things. And cgi could be used well to mix elements together.

 Wed Oct 30 17:08:07 +0000 2013

Shaun of the Dead is a great example of CG use, for example.

 Wed Oct 30 17:19:01 +0000 2013

Surprisingly, this is one of the films where 3D really counts. 3D IMAX all the way, Scott. Paid $17.50 TWICE for it & no regrets.

 Wed Oct 30 21:59:12 +0000 2013

Alien 3 only has a couple of cg alien shots. The rest is a puppet on a green screen. Still looks like shit though.

Harvester pro-tip: It's a lot easier to fight your way through the Lodge if you use keyboard shortcuts.

Holy shit! Whatever company did the "restoration" of Aliens for the Blu-ray did a spectacular job.

 Wed Oct 30 23:34:25 +0000 2013

Aliens was shot on this weird film stock, that I believe was discontinued shortly after. Only a few movies ever used it. Very heavy grain.

 Wed Oct 30 23:35:31 +0000 2013

Yet, somehow, Aliens looks GREAT without loss of detail and any noticeable filtering. Truly a miracle!
