Inviso 04/21/24 11:11:17 AM #13 | Gen V has had three matches in a row, with mixed results. This time, however, the sheer number of Pokemon on offer (to offset some of the duds) proved too much for Gen II Dark's admittedly-limited roster of six to overcome, as Gen V Fire wins in a 24-17 vote.

Inviso 04/20/24 3:41:26 PM #121 | It wasn't until re-reading my write-up that I realized this: Beetlejuice takes a very similar baseline plot to Hellraiser and just does it so much better. Admittedly, Beetlejuice's opening is much longer than the quick scene of crazy shit happening in Hellraiser, but still. Supernatural shit starts happening in a house following the introductory character/s being killed, and then the next thing you know, you have a meek father, his daughter, and her redheaded stepmother moving in. The stepmother is unhappy with the situation she finds herself in, the stepfather just wants to have everything be normal, and the key difference is that the lead female is far more proactive in her involvement with the story...even before she winds up summoning unspeakable malevolence into the world.
It's just funny how similar they are, but the tone is so varying that one is my fourth favorite and the other is my fourth least-favorite on the list. --- Touch fuzzy. Get fuzzier. Inviso |

It has its work cut out for it, however, as its relatively small roster faces off against the gargantuan (by comparison) Gen V Fire, both halves of which have already shown strength in this contest.

Fright Night was a refreshing & meta take on vampire movies when it first came out, and still holds up pretty well today. It's somewhat of a parody but is also pretty damn scary, which is rare. Evil Ed reverting back from a wolf freaked me out as a kid, and Chris Sarandon plays the right blend of charming and sinister. Meanwhile Roddy McDowall's reluctant hero character is one the best 'good guys' in 80s horror. An evil car is like...the most reasonable and frightening cursed object possible. It's mobile on its own, and it's a multi-ton machine that kills people regularly when it's NOT cursed. --- Touch fuzzy. Get fuzzier. Inviso |

I'm curious if you specifically have a problem with an executive trying to draw in viewers with explicit content, since that doesn't sound at all irrational. At least by the standards of the time anyway. However I do know that one of the main gripes people have with that particular movie is the off-putting premise, which is also fairly standard with Cronenberg. I just think "scientist trying to make a groundbreaking invention" is much more of a straightforward and standard character than "asshole TV executive is trying to find the most violent and/or softcore porn programming possible to get ratings". The former makes for a much more rational and sensical storyline, whereas the latter has to jump through so many hoops to get from point A to B to C. It works in Scrooged because the plot is that this asshole is meant to become a better person over the course of the film. But here, Woods' character arc isn't him really changing so much as multiple people are using him as a conduit for their ideological battle. --- Touch fuzzy. Get fuzzier. Inviso |
