Are there any redeeming moments or characters in itā¦ like the car crashing through a billboard in Madame Web orā¦ all of Matt Smith in Morbius?
So amazingā¦

You have to spend money to make moneyā¦but in between stopping one and the other there is a brief moment where your profits look higher, and moments are where hedge funds make their profits.

This just in ā Looney Tunes is no longer streaming on Max! The Warner Bros. show is one of many cartoon series that the platform has removed in recent times.
The original cartoons were not originally a TV show and were not being shown as one on Max. (Other than the arbitrary dividing of them into different seasons.) āCartoon seriesā is accurate though.

I havenāt seen Madame Web, and I havenāt seen Kraven, so I canāt say. Iām not sure shirtless Matt Smith was a sufficient payoff for watching the rest of that film.

Good god almighty, is that seriously in the final cut? I saw the opening 10 minutes or so recently and that was quite enough for me, thank you very much.

I saw Kraven a couple weeks ago, itās terrible. Not even memorably terrible, Iāve forgotten almost everything about it since. If you skip it you are missing nothing.

I watched a British series, Toxic Town, great stuff, satisfying adaptation of a real tragedy. Robert Carlyle, Jodie Whittaker, Aimee Lou Wood.

Oh, that whole scene is just hilarious, though. He knows itās a crap film and heās playing the part, I thought. And the fact that itās such a crap film, but Jared Leto still took it so seriously cracks me up.
He had to know that āitās Morbinā timeā is a bad line, yet, he delivered it with all the gravitas of a Shakespearean actor. Chefās kiss, no notesā¦

Anything with Jared Leto is doomed.

Oh for sureā¦ heās a bad actor who tries to tart it up by doing the whole āmethodā thing. The last thing he was worth seeing was in My So-Called Lifeā¦ And every knows that the best part of that show was the awesome Wilson Cruzā¦

That meme was so well crafted that I thought the line really was in the film until I actually watched it. I was like, āWhereās the line? I thought he said the thing!ā Then I googled it and found out it was just a joke. Iām telling you, satire is dead. Reality is impossible to distinguish from satire now, because we literally live in the dumbest timeline. And making standalone films starring Spider-Manās rogueās gallery without Spider-Man is about s dumb as it gets.

This review looks promising, but it contains spoilers, so Iāll wait until I see the movie this week to read it. I thought Parasite was both an awesome movie and a nicely biting depiction of capitalist class relations.

A Festival of Frights or Unheimlich at Any Speed
The Wolf Man (George Waggner 1941)
Prodigal son Larry Talbot (Lon Chaney Jr.) returns to his ancestral home to bury his brother only to fall in love and be bitten by a werewolf.
Finally establishing the werewolf as one of Universalās Big Three monsters alongside Dracula and Frankensteinās monster, after 1935ās Werewolf of London failed to capture the popular imagination, The Wolf Man was the major success of Universal Studiosā second wave of horror movies. Coincidentally released the day after the US entered WWII, The Wolf Man does without the German Expressionist elements found in most of Universalās ā30s horrors, but instead reflects contemporary traumas with its protagonist doomed āthrough no fault of his ownā and marked with a star. Curt Siodmak, who fled Nazi Germany in 1937, scripts, inventing most of The Wolf Manās lycanthropic lore himself.
Carnival of Souls (Herk Harvey 1962)
After a car accident, a woman (Candace Hilligoss) is haunted by a phantom stalker, an obsession with a derelict pavilion, and the feeling that she no longer belongs.
One of the greatest one shots in horror movie history. In the universe next door, this film, inspired by Cocteau and Bergman and resembling an episode of The Twilight Zone as directed by Dreyer, caught the zeitgeist, and instead of Romeroesque zombies, their media landscape is full of beautiful but aloof women who suffer obnoxious men while trapped between one world and the next.
In our universe, this was Harveyās only feature film as director and Hilligoss had only a handful of other minor parts, the most viewed likely being a non-speaking role on Quincy.
Rabid (David Cronenberg 1977)
After being badly burned in a motorcycle accident, Rose (Marilyn Chambers) is given experimental plastic surgery which changes her into a sort of vampire, with a blood sucking phallus in her armpit. Her surviving victims develop a rabies like infection and overrun Montreal.
Cronenbergās second commercial feature and porn queen Chambersā attempt to enter mainstream cinema. Thematically quite similar to its immediate predecessor Shivers (1975) but instead of being confined to an island apartment complex, Cronenberg gets to sow carnage over an entire city. Much more overtly Canadian than his other features, explicitly set in Quebec with French Canadian accents galore and First Nations people having trouble with the police on the sidelines. Was Cronenberg for a moment on the verge of becoming political?
Exorcist II: The Heretic (John Boorman 1977)
#The Chellock : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive
Itās four years later and a teenaged Regan (Linda Blair) may become a power for great good or great evil. The forces of faith (Richard Burton) and science (Louise Fletcher) must nurture her and keep her safe from the demon Pazuzu.
What would a collection of horror movies be without a film maudit, aka a cursed film? It is claimed that Exorcist II caused riots at its initial screenings. Audiences were displeased not to be tossed another exploitative bone of Manichaeism, instead receiving an investigation into the inter-relationship between good and evil, enhanced by wonderful cinematography from William A. Fraker and a psychedelic score from Ennio Morricone. To further illustrate the aforementioned inter-relationship, into this magical mise-en-scĆØne are placed a miscast and/or drunk Richard Burton and Linda Blair, who has not grown into her role. To resolve this impasse, James Earl Jones spits out a leopard.
The Changeling (Peter Medak 1980)
After suffering the loss of his wife and daughter in a freak automobile accident, composer John Russell (George C. Scott) moves into a Victorian-era mansion only to discover that he is not the houseās sole occupant.
At the dawn of the slasher film, The Changeling offers up a traditional ghost story. While providing all of the traditional spook show accoutrements, mysterious noises, balls which bounce downstairs by themselves, doors that wonāt stay shut, and a superb seance scene, which was surely borrowed by The Others (2001), The Changelingās primary strength is not horror but a mystery which reveals a mournful tragedy, in which the sins of the father (and the Gilded Age) refuse to stay buried.
