Nope.
Iâm reopening the thread as there was agreement to reopen it in another thread. Iâm involved in this conversation going awry. I will pm with the other person to sort things out.
I will monitor this and invite @LockeCJ to also keep an eye on this since Iâm not impartial.

I wonder if the ending means there is going to be a sequel?
It also felt a slight bit hellraiserish to me. Definitely a Barker influenceâŚ

It certainly sets one up, and Iâm super intrigued as to where theyâd go with it (I imagine theyâd need a much larger budget!) but it sounds like the filmmakers are very burnt out after the difficulties of doing The Void as an indie movie. I agree that the sequel would likely be even more Hellraiser-ish and more like the Hellraiser sequels, which I am all for.

Yeah, it was crowdfunded, as I recall. I donât know if they released it in theaters, any idea if they did? Even a limited run? But the real money is in home sales, I think (I donât know about streaming vs. DVD sales, though). I guess they could crowdfund again, but like you said, theyâd really need a bigger budget for the ending they had, if they intend to carry it forward.

I saw it months ago as a one-night-only event in a tiny (30 seat) movie theater, and coincidentally, it ran for a few nights just this week at a local art theater, so I think theyâre doing a limited run now. It seems like the kind of cult film a company like Mondo would champion and do DVDs and a vinyl soundtrack.

I just saw that tonight 
Took 'em long enough!
I like how they spun the new season from the finale of the old season.
Thanks. Will watch.
This weirdnessâŚI happen to think Ms. Sheridan was one of the greats, but DAMMIT WHYâD SHE HAVE TO SMOKE SO MUCH? Fifty-one years oldâŚand you can see it, in her face here.
ButâŚtheyâre like superheroes, arenât they, the family in this show? And its corniness is quaint, in its way, even with the inevitable cringes.
I just watched In Sanity, Florida. It has a lot of bad reviews, so Iâd like to share what I like about it.
The premise is a town wherein all whistling, humming, singing, and music has been outlawed for almost 100 years, but the lead character secretly wants to become a singer. She did incredible in school, became valedictorian, and everyone in town has expectations about her, but their expectations do not align with what she wants.
Itâs a feel-good, warm, comforting, relaxing show (like Andy Griffith), which there are very very few of these days. We need more shows like that. It is set in a small town with a variety of oddball characters, in some ways reminiscent of Gilmore Girls. Thereâs a lot of potential in those characters and how they interact. A couple of unusual positives, they actually cast teenagers (instead of 30-somethings) in the teenage roles. They also appear to be aiming for roughly parity in male-female ratios.
The show does have a few negatives, though. The entire âseasonâ is basically one long pilot episode split into 8 pieces (from 12 to 19 minutes long, including theme and credits). This was apparently done to be able to claim a season had been made and appeal to on-demand viewers, but a more cohesively edited hour and a half version would be nice. Since itâs a slow-paced show, they could possibly even edit it down to an hour.
Itâs slow-paced, which I like (relaxing and comforting), however many people now are used to commercial ad-speed delivery and youtube videos that are edited to cut out every breath and pause and jump spastically from one thing to another. So some people might find it too slow.
It is labeled as a comedy, and does have some funny bits, but the timing or delivery is sometimes a bit off, particularly in the earlier parts. Later on it gets better, but still could use some professional help.
Which leads me to mention that this is really a crowd-funded pilot for a show. Theyâre hoping to sell it to actually get backing and funding and such to make it what they want it to be. I hope they succeed. Itâs not great yet, but has potential.

I just finished Season 2 of The Man in the High Castle. It seemed topical, both the Nazi part and the nuclear war part. But it was very slow and depressing. Canât really recommend it, except as homework.

did anyone catch the last two episodes of âtwin peaks: the returnâ last night?
so how do the episodes play for you if there works out to be another season?
and how do they play for you if thatâs it?

Just saw the first season of âHap and Leonardâ on Netflix. Kind of reminds me of Justified but about half-way through the action becomes Quentin Tarantino.

The second season is better.
