I think Independence Day and Mars Attacks make a fabulous double feature.Watched Independence Day last night. It's still fun to me, but like all of the pre-2000s movies, I'm starting to perceive it's age. Or maybe I'm perceiving my own age? Who can say?
I can't believe I never dropped the Ravagers in my my Robotech game BitD.
I just ran across The Carrier (1988), my favorite surreal comedy-horror plague movie, on YouTube.
Hard to find, low budget weirdness, not recommended for people who like cats.

We just watched Velvet Buzzsaw. I think it would've worked better as a horror film if the deaths hadn't been expicitly shown, just the end results. Other than that it was actually quite fun. I enjoyed the portrayal of all the annoying art people.
We saw that at the cinema in Mexico City, not expecting much and ending up very pleasantly surprised.Yeah it's fun, if you haven't seen the other film Gilroy made with Gyllenhaall, Nightcrawler, I recommend it too, a very creepy thriller.
This perverse and bloody Spanish thriller is made by the father of Javier Bardem and stars Jean Seberg of Breathless fame. Quite good, fans of giallo should dig it although it isn't a conventional giallo.
There is no word giallo in Spanish. It means yellow in Italian, though, so maybe amarillo? (The name comes from the yellowing pages of cheap mystery paperbacks--I think.)Do they call them Gialli in Spain? I thought that was an Italian term.

In Italy genre fiction tends to be colour coded for easy recognition on bookshelves and the term comes from yellow colour coding on the covers of crime novels.There is no word giallo in Spanish.

I've never heard the term outside of Italy. What does it mean to North American fans?No but giallo in Italy is really just a synonym for 'thriller.' Hitchcock made giallos. This is pretty clear if you watch All the Colors of Giallo documentary where so many of the Italian directors and screenwriters discuss the form. In North American fandom the term has come to be more narrowly defined, often to an absurd degree.

There are those who insist it only means Bava/Argento-ish films that are Italian proto-slashers with a killer wearing black gloves, etc.
We watched a couple episodes of Warrior Nun and it sucked. The wife and I were expecting hawt warrior nuns fighting daemons and undead but instead endured a shitty low budget teen drama. The night was saved by watching one of the Sin City flicks which never fails to get the Mrs amorous. Now that is a franchise that should be made into an RPG.Watched Netflix's Warrior Nun, loosely based on the Warrior Nun Areala comic.

This looks perfect for a sword & sorcery game of the ilk that DCC provides
I'm not actually watching this, but it has come to my attention that I somehow missed this back in my teens
So I will have to rectify this as soon as I can, heh heh:
Charmed was so good you can even enjoy it without dialogue!The original CHARMED was a guilty pleasure for the missuz and me, so we're checking out the reboot. I like it so far on the whole, but I hate the stereotype of the "rational" person (in this case, the scientist), where "rational" means emotionless, cold, maybe even cruel. Hell, she literally associated it with her supposed "darkness" that she just discovered. It's just one of a million examples of the media straw man of what it means to be rational, and the implicit argument that follows from it: "Hey, kids, just do whatever feels right to you without reflection!" Sorry, rant over now ...
