You're probably the best movie critic on this shitposting forum.

You can't be serious about that.

Do you want me to say that Rushy is the best movie critic here?

But no, I know that you prefer playing vidya than watching movies, but I've always respected your opinions on movies. Hell, vidya too. You made me curious about Monster Hunter. I'm going to have to give the series a try sometime. My only experience with it was a weird side quest in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, when you take a trip to an island and fight monsters from the Monster Hunter games.

"Breaking Bad" is pretty noir. I don't see many new movies, but a recent-ish (more recent than "Brick") one that I liked a lot is "Blue Ruin".

Of the classics, my favorite noir is probably "The Big Heat" from 1953. Very dark, mean movie (and directed by Fritz Lang), though "Double Indemnity" is up there, too.

I'm glad I'm not the only one here who's seen Double Indemnity, it's in my top 100.

Blue Ruin, I think, is from the people who made Murder Party and Green Room. I still need to see it, heard it was a great revenge movie.

I would love to hear suggestions on which of the games are best to start with. <3

"Double Indemnity" is pretty much the definitive film noir. It has every crucial element. It even begins at the end. You know right away that Fred MacMurray is going down and this movie, like most noirs, will show you the downward spiral that lead to that. Barbara Stanwycky is a great femme fatale.

For the klessik MonHun experience Generations is pretty much the complete package. 4 also has a rather enjoyable story, if that's your thing.

Double Indemnity is kino. Wilder really never missed, shame we never got his Schindlers List.

I don't really understand why esoteric is a problem, given that in every previous Jones movie, the supernatural is far more powerful and beyond what both he and the villains anticipated. There's a running theme of 'don't fuck with what you don't understand' that carries from the Ark right through to Crystal Skull.

As for the car chase, it looks fine. Stop listening to internet whinging about it. It looks fine. It was filmed in the actual jungle and the reason it's spacious is literally provided in the film

Watched Nosferatu in cinema thought it was very good. I was expecting it to be weirder like the Lighthouse or Herzogs version but was a fairly straight forward gothic horror just with modern sex, scares and gore.

It's just weird. There was like an entire circle of alien mummies, except they were apparently all the same alien projected onto our three-dimensional worl or some shit.
Also the UFO isn't an actual UFO. It's a fucking TARDIS or something.

and the reason it's spacious is literally provided in the film

And it was stupid.

... no? It's just a UFO.

And it was stupid.

"The Jungle Cutter used in the film was actually a real tree-cutting vehicle built for the movie, based on the chassis of an American M113 APC (easily recognizable by its wheels and the front mounted track sprocket)."

Aside from the chassis type being developed three years after the events of the film, it was perfectly realistic, and a logical way of clearing the jungle.
