Does troma count as a genre? I thought that was just a studio that made edgy schlock no different than Roger Corman type stuff.

>>225359
It's not a matter of aping, and you don't really see a lot of giallo aping around anyways. They do exist, but they're not really relevant. And there are some actual neo-gialli that are pretty damn good.
>>225364
This.
>>225365
The hacks exploiting giallo tend to either shy away from its most defining characteristics (see the new Suspiria) or deliver a product that not even most giallo fans enjoy (see Amer). They try to fake giallo cred but don't have much to offer, so they fail.
The genuine neo-gialli are good for the most part. As are the neo-80s slashers with a touch of giallo, such as The Guest.

>>225364
So is Tarantino. What does being a genuine fan have to do with making trash film? How can you even make a giallo these days without being a fan of either Argento or Fulci?

>>225359
Not from the past, but I have a feeling that Korean thriller imitations will be next on the chopping block soon especially after the success of Squid Game and with kdramas gaining popularity. Spike Lee hit ground with the Oldboy remake already

>>225380
The Guest is massively overrated. Watched an interview with the director and screenwriter and they tried to claim that they created synthwave as soundtrack, and that everyone using synthwave in movies is ripping them off. They're John Carpenter wannabes and all you have to do is look at Death Note, Godzilla vs Kong, and everything else they've done to see that they're hack frauds.

>>225384
Genuine fans understand the genre and strive to make true art, they aren't panderers looking for an easy buck.

>>225385
I don't care about their other movies, The Guest is a masterpiece.

Its a bad show, pretty much reddit if it was a show, jokes and shitposting aside it actually is.

>>225448
Alright, you found me out. You exposed and humiliated a stranger on the internet. Do you feel proud of yourself? Does it make you feel like a big man? Are you going to brag about this to your friends and relations now? You're cool bro, you're so cool.

>>225455
Yeah I just humble bragged to my mom and I'm getting pizza tacos for dinner tonight.

Blunt is the one that got the Jim guy, Jenna was friendzoned.

>>225033
What happened?

>>225101
She worked herself into a shoot, became smitten in real life with Jim (John Krasinski). She ended up divorcing her husband (James Gunn) and is constantly hitting on John on social media but he rebuffs her. Also her husband found success shortly after the divorce.
Poor roastie.

>>225123
Wrong thread?

>>225106
I know she's a movie star and all but fuck man that's gotta hurt.

>>225394
Why does she have to resort to doing capeshit?

>>225395

You're acting like big stars haven't been starring in superhero movies since Marlon Brando & Gene Hackman in Superman over 40 years ago.

>>225399
Marlon Brando's career was dead at that point and Gene Hackman, well, it's in his name, he's a hack.

>>225406

>Marlon Brando's career was dead at that point
Hardly. He was paid a record sum of money for the small amount of screentime he had.

I unironically wish I was Hannibal-tier. Unfortunately I have zero drive and am nowhere clever enough to get away with eating people.

>>225430
Would you be really picky about who you ate, or would you nibble on any ol' bum, degenerate crackhead and nigger?

>>225431
The less chance of getting parasites the better, right?

sharks are niggers of the sea

Somebody put me back in the fridge

Sure am glad they can serve!

>2 on 1, already have full control of 1 arm each before any resistance, and the women still can't restrain a micro lanklet

Grrrrls can't recover from this.

>>225403
True. Very true.

>>224125
Because the aussie government hates their own people just like good britbong leftovers and think they're better than their own countrymen, don't want the world to know the truth, which honestly looks better than if they're all just a bunch of cartoonishly stupid cartoon mustache twirling whipley snidelashes.

Amazing movie.
Wake in Fright
>>224125
>portrayed a miner's town inside Oz at full lad peak, so shit gets depraved quickly.
Its such an effective thriller because it shows a natural feeling progression from just bros being bros to fucking insanity and ending in (redacted) and being stuck.

The best incapsulation (imo) of the asshurt is that during an early screening some bogan apparently said "That's not us" and another guy shushed him saying "its us"

>>225197
>another guy shushed him saying "its us"
"Shut up mate, it is us" i recall was closer, and it was in a festival lol so some got mad seeing that as Australia's representative. Dirty-assed city slickin' coast vermin were appalled to see rurals and miners (and by default Australia decades before) in their full form and shit spiraling out of control if you didn't have your feet in the ground, practically the sophisticated teacher got schooled hard in "the school of life" aka da streetz by some of the town's eccentrics.

Kotcheff made the protag be this kind of punished dude stuck in purgatory, with the denizens not being bad but also not angels as they have flaws too, in the end they helped him be humble and a better person with maybe the downside of the inn keeper trying his best to hold laughter when the teacher returned because the gossip about what happened must've been juicy as hell.
It's kind of like Deliverance too, mutts got massively butthurt Euros loved the movie and some of the flyover states felt the movie was a fun adventure or one of those uncle stories about a bad turn in the road on a weekend, but the city fags thought it was an insult to the country and said such thing shouldn't exist, hence its repudiation and casting bad stereotypes to those who enjoyed it for what it was.

Every country has a movie making fun of themselves but at the same time being proud of their heritage, at the end of Wake in Fright the town's officer was still seen as a very reasonable and friendly crafty man like his introduction showed who could also resolve serious issues with social finesse, the grifter 'roo ball enjoyer was a mental work but still benevolent to his friends if very direct when speaking his mind, the rowdy 'roo hunters were brutal rural retards but at no moment stopped treating the teacher with respect and hospitality, hell the teacher basically lived drank and ate for free for a couple of days due to these guys, even the guy who offered a ride to the protag when he wandered in the desert offered him a beer despite being a total stranger and the guy who gave him a ride "back to the city" didn't charge him a penny when he realized he fucked up. Yet it's still called "a horror story" by pavement pansies.

Flopson was in HP films where she was a supporting cast and then in that awful Beauty and the Beast remake 5 years ago where she was ridiculed for her auto tuned singing and ugly face playing a Beauty. Everything else she made flopped. Why do you think she's called Flopson.
Harverstered fucked her nice and raw.

>>225312
Watson has a rich and varied filmography on her resumé, one that your waifus would be jealous of, and she was magnificent in The Beauty and the Beast; every critic worth a damn recognized that.
The only reason she is called Flopson by you deviants and detractors is because you are all desperate to throw shade at a skilled actress, activist, and literal goddess. Massive cope from a capeshit enthusiast.

>>225316
Sounds like you're the one coping here. Maybe if Flopson stopped kicking dogs the men in her life would stop treating her like one.

>>225316
You post passionately but write too well to be the hapa, not buying it.
