  • Not sure what flavor you’re looking for but here’s some of the ones I enjoyed:

    • Pan’s Labyrinth - fairy tale horror
    • Gretel & Hansel -fairy tale horror
    • Babadook - dramatic horror
    • Mothman Prophecies - dramatic horror
    • Hereditary - dramatic horror
    • The Descent - adventure/action horror
    • Jeepers Creepers - adventure/action horror
    • The Mist - adventure/action horror
    • The Crazies - adventure/action horror
    • 10 Cloverfield Lane - adventure/action horror
    • This is the End - comedy horror
    • Shaun of the Dead - comedy horror
    • Zombieland - comedy horror.

    On my Halloween movie list this year I’m planning on watching

    • Little Otik (fairy tale horror with stop motion & live action - looks artsy)
    • Lamb (supernatural horror)
    • Tigers are not Afraid (supposed to be similar to Pan’s Labyrinth)
    • Midnight Meat Train (Clive Barker horror- one of Bradley cooper’s earlier movies)

    Saw some other good ones already posted here - Event Horizon, Midsommar - so I think you’ll get a good list.



  • So it sounds like this is a profit-driven decision with auteur dramas in general just not being as profitable as action films or films that have some element of action.

    Kind of a radical idea, but I always wondered if the movie industry would do better with different pricing models. When people go to the movies nowadays it seems like its just a better deal over all to see something big budget (even though it may not be an especially good storyline). So maybe just so we can get more variety out of it, they price accordingly and see how the market reacts?




  • Yeah feels like an honest question as well to me. I don’t get all the downvotes and hate for this post. It doesn’t seem anything like shilling. I’ve never shopped Temu but I’ve seen the ads, made my assumptions, and now this discussion gives me more information on it rather than doing trial/error. How is a question like this a bad thing?

    I do understand the visceral responses based off Temu’s most likely lack of safety and ethics, but at the end of the day it’s everyone’s own personal call on how responsible they want to be with their purchases - caveat emptor I guess.






  • I feel this. This probably stems from childhood issues and a string of failed relationships but I just can’t be comfortable around really any social groups I’ve had for very long. Functionally I’m great, people seem to like talking to me and want my company. So we’ll do a few get together sessions and then my fatigue will make me slowly fizzle out. It really sucks.

    On the brightside though, I do love my own company and have made peace with having a lot of holidays and special occasions on my own or with the cat.
