Serenity (2005)

I just saw this a couple days ago, for the first time in ages. Is anyone here a big fan?? Of either Serenity or the show Firefly? I have never seen Firefly.

I'm asking because it has an intriguing way of presenting some ideas that are probably Libertarian, or... well, at least conservative in a way that I can see the sense in. The Nathan Fillion character has a little soliloquy where he talks about how the people who run society in the world(s) shown in the movie are often coming up with plans and schemes to make people... dramatic pause.... "better." And his character does not hold with such schemes, he doesn't buy them, or, in short, he thinks they're a great big stinking load of Sumatran Rat Monkey shit.

That's actually a pretty interesting point, and the movie makes it in a good way, I think. It is more interesting to watch the movie now then it was when it came out, because all the social media influencers and whatever corporations, hedge fund managers, or countries fund them are all trying to influence us in different ways, all the time. There were similar things happening in the 90s and early 2000s when Serenity was written, God knows, but I think a lot of people would agree that it's far worse now.

Hey, here's the soliloquy I'm talking about:

youtube

Also, the idea that the Reavers were sort of a side effect of all the well-meaning social engineering is interesting, too. They probably would have turned out to be more or less normal people, but they had an extreme reaction to one of the schemes the overlords of society were testing, in their attempt to make people better.... It makes me think of mass shooters, people who might not have been THAT crazy if they weren't subjected to the social pressures of today's world, but who ended up very radicalized and dangerous..

The crew of the spaceship Serenity appear to be some kind of smugglers, and at least one or two of them were veterans of some big war that must have happened in Firefly. They are not upstanding members of society, and that's an important element of the show.

So anyway, it's a pretty interesting movie. If you haven't seen it in awhile, I bet you would find that it has more meaning for you in today's world than it did when it came out. That's what I think, God damn it, and I will die on that hill!!!!!! Well, no, hopefully not, but I feel like I'm on to something here. When it came out, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Instagram, and comparable social media venues were all a lot smaller, and some of them probably didn't exist at all. We all have our own theories about who is behind various movements that exist on these platforms, and we don't all agree about which of those influencers are the biggest shitheads, but I think we tend to agree that it generally sucks to be subliminally led to think things you might not have thought on your own.

Aaaaanywho.... thoughts?

The Witching Hour Is Fats Approching and The October Horror Challenge Is About to Commence.

I always get pumper for the OHC. It's usually the highlight of the month, well, second to celebrating Halloween with the little one. How's everyone popping their cherry and when is everyone starting the challenge.

I'll be starting at the midnight with Night of the Living dead. Actually planning on pulling and all nighter and working my way through the Dead trilogy. Beyond that, I haven't planned ahead.

Terminator and the 12 Monkeys

Isn't it funny how often the year 1997 is used in dystopian cinema? On August 29th, 1997, Skynet launched the nukes that killed 3 billion people. In 1997, a virus wipes out 5 billion people in 12 Monkeys. In 1997, Snake Plissken has to rescue the president in Escape from New York. In 1997, Los Angeles is a ghetto mess in Predator 2. In 1997, Turbo Kid has to fight a tyrant in the wasteland. What a year, huh?

Besides the year, Terminator and 12 Monkeys are almost the same movie. After a massive population loss, a guy from a dreary future travels back in time to take back the future. He is apprehended and doubted by authority figures, he falls in love with a reluctant heroine, and he's caught in a time loop where he dies in the end... or is it the beginning?

And reminiscent to T2, our protagonists end up in a mental institution at one point or another. Also, both movies eventually got tv shows years later. Either way, I think both of these are phenomenal movies.

The Shining

The Shining is getting a new 4k re-release this October, so I went to watch it in theaters (again) to prepare for the upcoming "Doctor Sleep". What's funny is that this theatrical endeavor was totally cropped to make it widescreen. You could tell because of the end credits were cut off. For a cinematic legend, it's funny that Kubrick made a bunch of his movies in the 4:3 aspect ratio, but we'll forgive him.

For starters, I think this movie is great. A horror classic exceptional for its brooding atmosphere. The pacing may be slow to some people, but I think the tension and buildup is slow-burn perfection. The music sets the moody tone and there are certain cues that give me goosebumps. Still.

This may be the ultimate madness movie. Jack Nicholson was born to be an axe-wielding maniac, and I wish he'd play a psychopath more often.

"You didn't let me finish my sentence! I said I'm not gonna hurt you... I'm just gonna bash your brains in! I'm gonna bash 'em right the fuck in!"


Stephen King is a fool for hating this movie. What's his beef with it anyway? Because it deviated from the book? As great as he is, he can be a real idiot some times. Especially when he gets political, but we'll forgive him.

One thing I noticed is that this one has a few similarities to Pet Sematary. The main one is the indian burial ground bit, but there's also the ghosts, as well as a character being warned to return somewhere and flying on a plane and taking a trip to get back to a place, only to meet a gruesome end. Plus, child protagonists who are psychic, to boot...

Some of the scenes in this movie are downright creepy, though. You can probably count those scenes on one hand, but when they hit, they hit hard. The nasty old hag? The twin girls? The bit that creeps me out most is the damn animal-suit blowing the fancy man. Random and creepy shit, right there...

What are your thoughts on The Shining? Worthy? Overrated? Is King justified in his hate? Or is it a horror masterpiece?

Best Titles for Cop Movies?

Anyone have any favorites? This certainly qualifies as a Trash Epics topic.

I am sitting here watching Timecop right now, which I have always liked. Timecop isn't a particularly awesome title, but YEESH that damned Trash Epics spider just crawled past my hand...

Anyway, Jean-Claude Van Damme movies had some decent titles, suitable for saying in the profoundly pissed-off voice of whoever did the voiceover for all the trailers for those movies, which were on VHS cassettes and DVDs for many years. Here, listen to this, especially after about the halfway point in the trailer:

youtube

Some good JC Van Damme titles included Death Warrant, Bloodsport, No Retreat No Surrender, Hard Target... also, Steven Seagal movies had some pretty great titles for awhile, around that same time, like Above the Law, Under Siege, Out for Justice, Marked for Death... I am a pretty big fan of the title Maniac Cop 3: Badge of Silence. Many Charles Bronson movies had great titles, and Clint Eastwood of course... anyone have any favorites?

Is anyone else getting excited for October?

Is anyone else getting stoked for October yet? Does anyone have an idea of what they what to watch? Do you have anything saved for it?

I know there is still two weeks or so to the kick-off of The October Challenge, and I know that there is a challenge underway, but I am starting to look forward to this years challenge. It is not just the challenge - I like this time of year, when the evenings are shorter. Leaves are falling and Autumn is calling. It is good for TrashEpics too, a sharp increase in activity is inevitable - hopefully activity will be prolonged.


Anyway, I usually put movies aside especially for it. Movies that I haven't had a chance to watch, or movies that I keep putting off, for one reason or another. I already know what I will be watching this year as it saves from rushed choices and ultimate disappointment. I have a nice mixture of foreign, to obscure and hyped horror lined up. It allows gives me the opportunity to explore some directors filmography that I may have not seen to others in which I am concluding their filmography, to watching some Asian horror movies I have not seen before. I usually don't bother with re-watches - I usually just watch first-time-views instead. Anyway here is my list for anyone interested:
