You mean did I jump from the gun shots? Many times. I think there were two that genuinely caught me off guard and made me jump. The others I KNEW they were coming, but they were such loud, sharp cracks that they STILL made me jump. It was such a tense movie.

LMAO

There’s no use in anyone trying to buy a nice sound system rig because the only way to experience this film properly is in IMAX. I might see it again just because of this fact.

How many neck twitches did you do? It got me three times.

I did a lot and I haven’t even seen it yet. Neck twitches and rapid tapping on my collarbone are my go-to nervous tics.

Then seeing his film would be an act of masochism. The last 25 or so minutes are going to destroy you.

Guess I’ll have to go see Valerian instead 😛

(Which I actually do kinda want to see, despite all the bad things I’ve heard about it)

Considering the things I’ve heard I would just watch Dunkirk with a neck brace. You won’t leave unscathed, but you will survive.

I felt the same way when I watched it last year.

I almost didn’t give it a chance. Whatever else I could have done at 2am this morning wouldn’t have been half as satisfying.

“Willow Creek” (2013)

Found footage again. The first half is great, a Blair Witch style slow build but it soon becomes clear that this film’s restraint is its biggest fault. Not much happens at all until the last few seconds!

The two leads are likeable and the whole idea is something that could work well. But it’s just a bit dull.

The standout scene is a five minute single take inside a tent which starts with an awkward marriage proposal and ends with (we assume) Bigfoot stomping around outside. It’s all played off the character’s reactions to the sounds outside and it’s brilliant. Shame the rest of the film wasn’t up to the same standard.

I give it 2 unfriendly bearded yokels out of 5

I scoffed at this at first, then read the year again.
I pretty much agree. Might give it a 7/10.

If only Patricia Tallman’s Barbara was in the original NOTLD. Then we’d have the absolutely best version of this film possible.

Out of curiosity, what would you give the original true grit? I’ve only seen it. It was “pretty good.” But from what I’ve heard the 2010 film isn’t so much a remake of it as it is a new and more faithful take on the original novel.

As someone who’s read the novel, this is absolutely right. I thought the original was okay but the new one was pretty damn good.

I gave the '69 film the same rating.

I haven’t read the novel, BTW.

I liked the John Wayne one except the girl. But the girl was kinda the main character so a mixed reception is the best it could get from me.

Hailee Steinfeld is fantastic in the 2010 one.

Watch it in sections beloved.

Debunking alien anything? No thanks.

^Giorgio Tsoukalos sock confirmed.

They’re certainly out there but the Ancient Astronaut Theory was essentially gutted in that Documentary. There are still some oddities here and there, but most of what Erich Von Daniken and his lot claim is no more based in reality than Scientology.

Debunking anything? No thanks.

The way I see it, von Daniken was debunked before he was ever published.
