Always love this meme:
I am a basic bitch, so I’m winding through goofy comedies. I enjoyed syiff malam raya for all of the same reasons I enjoyed the original scary movie and Smoking Causes Coughing for being the right kind of flippant, even if I’m not familiar with the parables it’s based on.
Trump and (now) the film sector:
Conversely, the movie making the highest profit was Inside Out 2 with $650 million.
Did you watch that Patrick H Willems video essay as well? LOL
Asteroid
Asteroid chronicles the journey of Spencer Coleman and his family from the “big city” to a house on the outskirts of his hometown. The film anticipates the fragmentations of emerging modernism and blends humor with social satire while highlighting a life based on procrastination and avoidance. And there's an Asteroid coming!

There was a Twilight Zone episode (A Matter of Minutes) that I remember as being pretty similar.
Does anyone remember a movie title about a a secret group of people that pause time and rebuild the world.
Like they construct the world for each day? Like you see them putting up mailboxes and painting the roads.
The Ugly Stepsister (2025) Discussion
Follows Elvira as she battles against her gorgeous stepsister in a realm where beauty reigns supreme. She resorts to extreme measures to captivate the prince, amidst a ruthless competition for physical perfection.
Apologies if this is not the community for a thread like this, I don't frequent this community as much as I should (considering the volume of movies I watch lol). But I just saw The Ugly Stepsister in theaters and I'm dying to talk about it.
I'm curious if any of you have seen it yet. It's still in theaters and looks like it's going to be fairly niche, I'm sure in no small part due to it being foreign. I definitely recommend it, I found it to be a fun spin on the classic Cinderella story that we get from the likes of Disney and a lot more faithful to the source.
Definitely not for those who are squeamish, but to be honest I found the body horror to not be over the top (unlike The Terrifier 2 lol)
“I can tell you that it’s a lot about Jessie,” Allen said about the fifth “Toy Story” movie. “Tom Hanks] and I do — Woody and I — do realign. And there’s an unbelievable opening scene with Buzz Lightyears. I can give you that, but I can’t give you much more.”
Andrew Stanton is directing “Toy Story 5,” which will center on Buzz, Woody and the rest of the toys as they go head to head with the electronics that now consume the attention of children. Stanton has writing credits on all the “Toy Story” movies and won Oscars for his acclaimed Pixar efforts “Finding Nemo” and “Wall-E.”
Sounds like Woody is back. Maybe flashbacks? Or maybe some other method.

Didn't realize there was an Until Dawn movie being made, and that it's releasing next week.
I love David F. Sandberg's YouTube channel. It's so informational about the making of movies. A particular one I enjoy is 'The Problem Solving of Filmmaking'
It's even worse than that. The Oscars began as a tool to prevent unionization in the film industry.
I first saw her in BMX Bandits in the early 80s and looking back I wonder why I remember having a crush on her. She's certainly come a long way since then.

Should I see Novocaine or Mickey 17?
Pretty much the title. I have time to go see a movie this week, but can't decide between Novocaine and Mickey 17. No spoilers, please and thank you.
Edit: Thanks for the input all, I've decided to see Novocaine based on your comments.

Trancers (1984) is the best film I’ve seen in a month.
Trancers (1984) is the best film I’ve seen in a month.
Everything about this film is fantastic—the story, the setting, the actors, the aesthetic. It’s over-the-top amazing.
Trancers takes a unique approach to time travel in sci-fi. Unlike most time travel stories, there’s no machine. Instead, people from the future travel to the past by taking a drug that allows them to inhabit and possess an ancestor’s body. The stakes are high—if your ancestor dies before conceiving your next ancestor in the line, you never existed. You just disappear.
The film stars Tim Thomerson, Helen Hunt, and Art LaFleur. Tim Thomerson plays Jack Deth with a hard-boiled affect, full of grit and aplomb, harkening back to noir thrillers of the ’30s and ’40s—right down to the scar on his head. And Thomerson chews the scenery—oh, he chews it up in the best way possible. Side note: the name Jack Deth is ridiculous. The movie knows it’s ridiculous. Characters even ask, “What kind of name is Jack Deth?” It’s h
I watched Invasion of the Star Creatures because it was only an hour and ten minutes long.
I watched Invasion of the Star Creatures because it was only an hour and ten minutes long.
I thought, I can sit through that. How bad can it be? Famous last words, right?
But I should admit, there was another reason I wanted to see this film: I love sci-fi B-movies from the ’50s and ’60s. Roger Corman, anything by American International Pictures—if you know, you know. So, I decided to throw my hat in the ring and give this one a shot.
The most surprising thing? It’s not a straight-up sci-fi film. It’s a comedy in the vein of Abbott and Costello or The Three Stooges—that old-school slapstick humor from the ’30s and ’40s. The actors do their best, but the shtick gets old fast. The premise? Two army privates who are beyond stupid trying to save Earth from aliens. And I mean these privates are mind-numbingly stupid. If this were a short SNL sketch, maybe it would be funny. But an hour and ten minutes? Oh, God. I was counting down the seconds.
That said, there is a silver l

I watched Irrational Man starring Joaquin Phoenix and Emma Stone, because I wanted to see something different.
I was tired of watching bad movies, so I thought, “Let’s go for a simple rom-com with some decent actors.” I had no idea what this movie was about—Prime Video just recommended it.
Well, it’s awful. It’s terrible in ways that felt particularly off. It’s clear this was written by a guy who can’t write women. All they do is obsess over men, especially the main guy, Abe Lucas, who’s a complete jerk with zero redeeming qualities.
Abe, played by Joaquin Phoenix, is supposed to be some troubled bad boy, but he’s just a drunk slob who does the bare minimum. And honestly, I don’t get why all the women on campus are into him. He’s not in shape, and the movie even says he’s not impressive.
The plot? It’s meant to appeal to white, middle-class liberals. Abe’s character is like a cheap version of Charles Bukowski meets Rodion Raskolnikov from Crime and Punishment. It’s so heav
I really need to talk about Mutant Hunt.
I really need to talk about Mutant Hunt.
That’s a 1987 cyberpunk horror film, heavily inspired by The Terminator—it has no budget, actors who can’t act, badly choreographed fight scenes, and tons of gratuitous gore. And yet, despite everything wrong with this film, it somehow does a lot of things right.
For example, the costumes—while hideous—are incredibly memorable. The soundtrack is drenched in synth. This movie is 80s to the core, packed with maximum cheese and camp.
The plot? A genetic scientist does science stuff and turns humanoid androids (also called cyborgs… and, just to be clear, a cyborg is different from an android, but okay) into killing machines. He drugs them, which messes with their psychology—though the film explains it in a much clunkier way. The end result? These cyborgs start slaughtering people purely for pleasure. And man, are these cyborgs ugly. I mean, hideous. The practical effects are the highlight of the film—these things are nightmare fuel.
