It's definitely possible with some of the movies on my line-up.
yeah, fair. i kind of eat that stuff up in my horror movies, when it's done well.. but isn't hausu "avant garde and art house"?Jigsaw wrote: ↑Fri Oct 11, 2024 4:58 pmIt's definitely possible with some of the movies on my line-up.
That said, I just didn't know what the hell was going on in Possession - that guy with pink socks at the end meant what? I don't want to tread over my various questions, but like I said, I'm sure it's a good metaphor/allegory for something, but I sure as hell don't know. People that don't act like people, reactions with no context - this just wasn't the movie for someone who can't stand art-house/avant-garde stuff.

That's actually a good point, and even Chucky (from Fight Evil) was surprised I liked that one. I don't know, maybe the fact it's fun makes up for the experimental elements (though some of them, such as the train sequence, I maintain are quite nice).zombie wrote: ↑Fri Oct 11, 2024 5:01 pmyeah, fair. i kind of eat that stuff up in my horror movies, when it's done well.. but isn't hausu "avant garde and art house"?Jigsaw wrote: ↑Fri Oct 11, 2024 4:58 pmIt's definitely possible with some of the movies on my line-up.

yeah, it's a french flick. her first movie, raw, is much better in my opinion. but probably also not for you.Jigsaw wrote: ↑Fri Oct 11, 2024 5:31 pmI've heard of Titane, I think (a French movie, right?), so I certainly appreciate you warning me.zombie wrote: ↑Fri Oct 11, 2024 5:16 pmyeah, there is more fun in hausu than possession. i'll give you that.Jigsaw wrote: ↑Fri Oct 11, 2024 5:08 pmThat's actually a good point, and even Chucky (from Fight Evil) was surprised I liked that one.
