But Alien is so beautiful! The visuals and atmosphere are gorgeous, and of course Sigourney Weaver

It's been years since I've seen it - perhaps I need to revisit it. But I have an undying hatred of sci-fi movies. Technically, Alien is a horror movie, but the sci-fi atmosphere and setting don't win it any points with me.

I hate fantasy movies too though - if I had to choose between watching Lord of the Rings and Star Trek, I'd probably opt to shoot myself. It would be quicker and less painful that the death from boredom that would surely ensue otherwise.

Now that's a hill you're gonna die on alone lol

The effects and set design of Alien are important but what makes it great is the way it builds suspense. The only thing that really holds up about The Excorcist is the priest's nightmare sequence unless you're a christian afraid of a lil devillin.

Re: Salo, I think Pasolini made it aesthetic enough to where the horrific events taking place seem a step removed from reality. The reality of a two girls one cup is much more pukeworthy imo.

Some contest the accusations leveled (rape and pedophilia) towards Sade as literal readings of his transgressive works but idk. This quote is great though

Quote:
My manner of thinking, so you say, cannot be approved. Do you suppose I care? A poor fool indeed is he who adopts a manner of thinking for others! My manner of thinking stems straight from my considered reflections, it holds with my existence, with the way I am made. It is not in my power to alter it; and were it, I'd not do so. This manner of thinking you find fault with is my sole consolation in life; it alleviates all my sufferings in prison, it composes all my pleasures in the world out side, it is dearer to me than life itself. Not my manner of thinking but the manner of thinking of others has been the source of my unhappiness. The reasoning man who scorns the prejudices of simpletons necessarily becomes the enemy of simpletons; he must expect as much, and laugh at the inevitable. A traveler journeys along a fine road. It has been strewn with traps. He falls into one. Do you say it is the traveler's fault, or that of the scoundrel who lays the traps? If then, as you tell me, they are willing to restore my liberty if I am willing to pay for it by the sacrifice of my principles or my tastes, we may bid one another an eternal adieu, for rather than part with those, I would sacrifice a thousand lives and a thousand liberties, if I had them. These principles and these tastes, I am their fanatic adherent, and fanaticism in me is the product of the persecutions I have endured from my tyrants. The longer they continue their vexations, the deeper they root my principles in my heart, and I openly declare that no one need ever talk to me of liberty if it is offered to me only in return for their destruction.

Well, it wouldn't be the first hill I die on alone lol. I also think Nightmare on Elm Street 2 is far superior to the original and that Friday the 13th is one of the worst horror movie series in existence and easily the worst slasher series. Leprechaun is better. To be honest, those comments I made were a bit of a hot take (I know, I know, big surprise) - it's been many years since I've seen either movie. But my recollection was that the Exorcist's effects impressed me more. The way they were able to make the little girl's face all contorted and disturbed was pretty damn cool.

I'm not surprised that you have seen Salo. Have you seen Cannibal Holocaust as well?

Salo, or 120 Days of Sodomy is probably the most disgusting horror movie. I looked it up again and it's considered a 'Drama/War' movie...? In what goddamn universe? Watched it with some buddies in college to see if I could get anyone to puke. Marquis de Sade was a very disturbed individual.
The bed shaking was pretty goofy but the little girl calling the young priest a ***got is hilarious.

Hell yeah. From the opening to the chest burster is perfect in every way.

Ja it's great in its own way, but really only comparable to Salo in that it's graphic and Italian. Like, Avatar versus 2001: A Space Odyssey level different.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.
