I need the M Night boxset. You need to watch Unbreakable. I'd say it's one of his better ones. The ending of Split will make a little more sense. But even then you're still right to say the ending sorta fizzled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk, it fizzled He just kinda scampers away. She kinda wanders away. Then I think Bruce is supposed to make you jump up and say oh shit, but for me at first it was like huh? Fizzle.

KeyserSoze Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Just watched the Original Superman movie from 1978. My friend dragged me to go see the new Guardian's of the Galaxy film and I realized that I really never got into Superhero films as a kid and now there seems to be one every other month. So, i figured i'd go through them all starting from the beginning and see what all the fuss is about. I haven't started on the TV shows, as I figured id save them for after I catch up with the movies 1980's Superman II is next. I really like how laid back the first one was compared to the newer "lets see how many action sequences we can have in 2 hours" narratives in superhero movies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 See Superman 2 - some prefer it to the original. Skip the shoddy third and fourth film which includes that one where he is battling a guy in a blond mullet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem to recall that had some of the most laughable 'special effects' ever witnessed, although nothing quite as ridiculous as that barnet.

Like the jock ass pat, uncomfortable mostly but if you don't get one you feel down. Honestly, I don't know what Unbreakable had to do with Split? I thought maybe it was because Bruce was in other M movies. Anyway, a lot of people who have watched Split are so confused by it. I got it that he was abused, but 23 personalities coming out? That seemed a bit too much for me. I want to look up if it's possible for any "real" cases where multiple personality patients actually have physical changes as well as mental. I find that heard to believe it being true. anyway, I liked the movie, but I didn't think it was a great movie. 15 hours ago, wasted said: Did the cops get him? He was supernaturally fucked up. No he is still out there for a sequel. lol Some of those personalities were very cunning and smart and the beast was super strong and seemed invincible. Oh maybe that was how he's like Bruce's character in Unbreakable. He couldn't be hurt just like the beast. I can't believe M didn't make that connection or did he?

Which would be be cool I think. Cause Bruce Willis can't die or something right? I can barely remember Unbreakable. So he would be a good opponent for the Beast. Yeah, as I was writing my message before I realized that Bruce and the beast are both invincible. I only recently watched Unbreakable on cable that's why I remembered it. I can't believe I didn't realize it sooner. yeah, maybe M will combine both characters. I think that would be very cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabberwocky Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 WOW OK I just finished watching a film called "Black Mass Of The Nazi Sez Wizard." Holy hell where to start. I'll say straight off that this a completely non-linear film. Thankfully one of the actresses read out the director's disclamier regarding that before it began. This was like some low budget arthouse hallucinogenic horror film. It's only 60 minutes long. Every aspect of this movie is fucked up. If you are into gore and vomit and yes you read that correctly, then give it a watch. (this is supposedly a prequel to a trilogy of movies called The Vomit Gore series) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is because there will be a third film combining Unbreakable and Split into a thoroughly unsatisfying sequel, somewhat reminiscent of the Aliens v Predator franchise. Another way to look at it is Split is a quasi-sequel operating in the same continuity of Unbreakable. 1 hour ago, AxlsFavoriteRose said: never saw the movie but just made me think some. really? yet another glorious creature hunted to extinction??? just complete and utter BS. on a better news front they have spotted some very rare, on the verge of extinction timber wolves up north a bit from where i am! side note: shopping list...a few very high powered rifle to take out any wolf poachers i may run into!

AxlsFavoriteRose Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) i am sure my dad did. he made me watch the German U-Boat because since he fought in the very last year of WWII he knew, or had to know, all the crazy that would happen. the scariest part of me is I SAW me coming so much like when B-people like my crazy ex step mom would bring it up i'd just say ANNNNNNNND your point is?? ..later as i got to know him better i saw what some people saw in him that they also saw in me. kinda proud of that Edited May 15, 2017 by AxlsFavoriteRose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

German expressionism within a fairly zesty American film (for that era). Maybe that one have more of an ending, or conclusion. But if the beast is unbeatable then it more just repeating it over and over. Maybe throw action sequence in just for the sake of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant that it used the aesthetics of German expressionism, in terms of cinematography and lighting. It even has a bona fide 'hotty', Robert Mitchum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
