Yeah, but I was thrown off by what you said here:
I thought you were trying to say that he pretends to dislike anything that isn't obscure trash. Even though I hated the movie, Nosferatu isn't obscure trash & he loved it. So I wasn't following your logic. But I understand what you meant now. Nosferatu is a hipster approved movie, so that's why he likes it. But while we're on the subject, which "high budget horror classics" has he trashed?
I remember the poster trend, too, and this article covers it all.
I think they are glauming onto Nosferatu because Robert Eggers is one of the only unfettered filmmakers we have today. The VVitch and the Northman landed hard culturally if not in the box office. Nosferatu was his long time passion project and he said as much in several interviews. It was polarizing but it was for sure it's own creative thing. We need guys like Eggers to keep swinging.
You know it's funny because I just started watching Hokum and it opens on this gorgeously colorful shot. I've not watched the rest but I know they'll devolve into darker scenes later because unfortunatley that's what modern horror is. It's just sad because they apparently know what good color looks like!
Same with Widow's Bay. I've actually really liked this series, but the longer it goes on the more it dips into darkness. I honestly don't mind that so much but I think horror can be far more effective when it's out in the open and brightly lit. Here's a few screenshots of it being brightly lit.
I blame Vince Gilligan for giving everything a piss filter lol
He’s not my speed, but I will add along those lines that Oz Perkins is being allowed to make exactly the movies he wants to - for better or worse.
How else am I supposed to know that the characters are in Mexico? Paying attention to plot and dialogue is for suckers.
The one from last year? Sounds like I should take a few screenshots from that as well.
Yeah the recent Blumhouse one. The whole thing is almost pitch black. I think RLM was making fun of it in one of their episodes.
It's weird to see who gets final cut these days. Paul Thomas Anderson, Coen Brothers (who are essentially retired), Robert Eggers is the vanguard of the new generation. "Art house Braveheart" was spot on by Mike.
I love movies that made me think my monitor has gone into some kind of energy saving mode.
Christ, I was bored with this movie. If someone claims THIS is their favorite version of Nosferatu, their favorite Eggers, or one of their favorite movies then I know to take their tastes as "safely ignored".
Jay will make a statement implying that's he's above the culture war nonsense surrounding the film, will probably act bemused that it even exists
Why are the online retards upset about Milly Alcock or whatever her name is.
