Blade Runner 2049 is like Blade Runner by Stanley Kubrick.

That's all right though, I didn't go to see the film. I was more interested in how Hans Zimmer would handle it. It was three hours of sawtooth waveforms. Highly dramatic and cinematic. There's no such thing as bad Zimmer but I'll stick to the original Esper Retirement Edition for my soundtrack needs.
Wow man, I have to disagree. After reading your review, I expected it to be Escape From L.A. Imagine my surprise when 40% was straight up just dialogue, %40 was an artful rumination on loneliness and desire, and only the remaining 20% was pew-pew punch punch explodey.

Awesome movie. It's like Equilibrium had a baby with Eraserhead.

Been watching some good new horror movies, but need some good cosmic horror from any time period. You know, that Lovecraftian sort of horror that isn't so much sci fi but kind of is sci fi just cause it's about how the universe is out to get you, not so much cause it's out to get you but because it's so overwhelming that it can't help but be out to get you cause you're so insignificant? Or anything along those lines that makes you feel like you don't matter in the face of the overwhelming evil on display. You can interpret that liberally since I imagine the concept isn't really explored that much and I just want whatever I can get. Basically if the horror isn't really so much out to get you as you're just in its way I'll be happy.

But god damn when with Guillermo Del Toro make that At the Mountains of Madness movie already?

Have you ever seen From Beyond? It's by the same person who directed Re-Animator and Dagon so he's got a determination to bring the works of Lovecraft to the realms of B grade horror. It definitely is more sci-fi but the body horror aspects really work well within that genre. Just look at the poster for the film.

Oh and is it now kind of a cheap gimmick in horror movies to give a date from the 80s or 90s to imply that this is a true story even if it isn't? I feel like I see that more and more for no apparent reason.

Already seen Funny Games (not the original) but I'm not really interested in human horror movies. I want something that can make a human being feel insignificant in the face of something more than them.

Funny Games was ****ing awesome though.

I chose Funny Games because there is a weird and unspoken acceptance of the situation as just a product of chaos in such a way that it makes the viewer uncomfortable so I thought it might fit. Glad you've seen it though.

Maybe check out Mr. Jones in addition to the other two.
