You can watch all of Carpenters flicks in black and white so there's no debate, J.

Treat Williams Dead Heat? Yeah, that's a Horror/comedy in my book.Jason wrote:Does Dead Heat count as horror? I was looking to buy that movie like 15 years ago and it slipped away. Found it at a Pawn Shop for 2 dollars a few weeks ago and when I got home I actually realized what fucking movie it was. lol.

Re: 9-28-2019
more people should watch older films. and some people should watch the ones they're sitting on and letting collect dust.

Penny pinching producers killed the way movies look.

Re: 9-28-2019
It looks like fantasy land, which it is. Somewhere along the way, the industry decided the REAL cinematic experience people wanted was this over the top HD shit.

Re: 9-28-2019
Not to say all movies should look that way. But some would benefit greatly. Period pieces just kinda look weird without that old cinematic glow true to the time.

IMDB and Wikipedia list Brightburn as horror so that's going to be one of my first new watches

Re: 9-28-2019
maybe as far as theme-wise. but he has done films in nearly every genre. horror, action, comedy. epic. science fiction. etc. scorsese has held mostly to crime and gangster films.Headhunter wrote:Doesn't Spielberg almost own his wheelhouse?zombie wrote:as for spielberg vs. scorsese... spielberg has worked within a wider range of genres and managed great films in most of them. but scorsese has made better films from within his wheelhouse.
Re: 9-28-2019
if films were still made to look that way, today, would it be as special and "fantasy land" as you feel it is? would the wonder still be there, if it wasn't something from another era?Headhunter wrote:Not to say all movies should look that way.

Feels like 50/50 with Scorsese. A lot of diversity within the non-gangster category too.zombie wrote:maybe as far as theme-wise. but he has done films in nearly every genre. horror, action, comedy. epic. science fiction. etc. scorsese has held mostly to crime and gangster films.Headhunter wrote:Doesn't Spielberg almost own his wheelhouse?zombie wrote:as for spielberg vs. scorsese... spielberg has worked within a wider range of genres and managed great films in most of them. but scorsese has made better films from within his wheelhouse.

Re: 9-28-2019
he has done other stuff. last temptation, after hours, hugo and such. but that's not what he's known for. it's not what gets remembered. that last part is more our fault than his. but it seems to be the case, regardless.Headhunter wrote:Feels like 50/50 with Scorsese.

this is all just my take and understanding though. i'm not trying to tell you how to think of scorsese or spielberg.
Re: 9-28-2019
it would and hopefully sometimes on occasion films will be styled that way. it could be nice to break up the realism and the cgi character action fest stuff.Headhunter wrote:Probably less so but it would still look good.zombie wrote:if films were still made to look that way, today, would it be as special and "fantasy land" as you feel it is? would the wonder still be there, if it wasn't something from another era?Headhunter wrote:Not to say all movies should look that way.
