Re: Movie Thread
I watched the 1999 Mummy for the first time in years. I'm kind of torn, on the one hand it's a better Indiana Jones movie than Crystal Skull. On the other hand it feels like this snowballed into some real bad shit with Universal trying to turn their old monster properties into big big budget action adventure movies. Even The Wolfman remake, which was an R rated gore fest, devolved into the werewolf parkouring around London, knocking over busses and ended with a werewolf kung fu fight. Then of course there was the Dark Universe...
Which is a shame. You can say those old movies are cheesy and outdated, but I think in the hands of someone with more than two braincells and a lick of talent you can make most of them spooky again. The Mummy is a 2,000 year old corpse empowered by Pagan gods who really wants to murder and then fuck (in that order) a pretty girl who has no idea what is going on. The Wolfman is a story about having your body hijacked by the embodiment of animalistic predation and being forced to do morally repugnant things against your will. Dracula is just Harvey Weinstein with a literally Satanic strain of AIDs.
The Invisible Man movie that came out this year was an attempt to move back to horror, but it was written and directed by a faggot (actual faggot and director of Frankenstein James Wales was probably less of a nancy than Leigh Whannell) for a twittering audience of cat ladies and Redditors and I do not recommend it.
In the end, I think that's the biggest problem with Hollywood these days. Studios were always shit, but they've weeded out anyone with talent and backbone. I'm swearing off more Universal Monster movies not out of boredom with the source material itself but because I know Universal will never give them to anyone capable of making worthwhile movies.

The Mummy is only watchable because of Brendan Fraser's charisma.
Re: Movie Thread
Prime Rachel Weisz was nice too. Movie was okay, but even for the time (oldfag here) it was considered a generic studio tentpole. Compared to the shit studios put out today, however, it's a fucking masterpiece.
Monster movies have never been scary. I don't mind Universal trying to make adventure movies out of the properties, but unless they're going to go all out they should keep them low budget and up the tits and violence. Trying to make a fucking shared universe out of wolfmen and shit is gay and stupid. Tom Cruise was horribly miscast in the new Mummy, though the blonde chick from Peaky Blinders is gorgeous.
The Invisible Man was pure garbage. The wokest of wokeshit.
Back in 1999, I got my first blowjob from a big-tittied Mexican girl during this scene:

Re: Movie Thread
You too ?!
I guess it's not an inherently bad idea to turn those properties into basically pulp stuff, but so far it has always been the execution were they fell flat. Universal sits on a pile of iconic horror movie IPs, and yet they have no idea what to do with any of the characters.
And what could possibly be the point of making a shared universe? Are all these monsters supposed to team up as Not-Avengers? Who are they gonna fight? Cthulhu?

Autism attracts more autism. Sooner or later, an internet nobody will attract the exact kind of fans - and detractors - he deserves.
