>>220541092More of a prediction. The Sarah Gadon anon is going to talk about this movie waaaaay more than she's going to have screen time .
Did this poster predict the fires?
>>220541140The saying "Burn, Hollywood, Burn!" Is older than the film.
>>220541092It's a great takedown of Hollywood degeneracy but that fire scene is so fucking bad every time I think about this movie I can't get it out of my head. Was it on purpose? Even then, it doesn't work as a deliberate formal choice either.
It's cool, there's nothing really like it
>>220541178I've never heard that fucking once in my life.
Bruce Wagner is a fine writer. such a shame that he has so few movies written by him
>>220541092Can't form your own?
Sarah Gadon kino
>>220541368Oh shit Bruce Wagner wrote this? Been a fan of his since Wild Palms. True, he doesn't get enough work for how good he is. I'll have to watch this now.
>>220541340It's an old saying and has been used in two bitchin' songs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEYvfxtUxpgAnd alsohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZj9bi7YNmI
The Shrouds was SO bad (like, comically so) that I am not paying attention to this director until he pops his clogs.
>>220541132Called it.
>>220541426I stand corrected, I guess it just isnt as common. Never heard both those songs.
>>220541092For its virtues, it’s still pretty bad. Cronenberg was always iffy on the actual directorial side, and he completely lost that years ago now. The fire bit at the end is unironically at the level of The Room or random amateur no-budget horror movies you can rent on Amazon.
>>220541406yeah, he also had a pretty good short novel last year called Amputation, it's about the LA Palisades fires of early 2025.
>>220541140Yes. The fire rises
>>220541092>I went to the first few (Masters of Horror dinners), and it was a lot of fun. It was just fun. Just have dinner, talk, insult each other, and tell jokes>Then, you know, it sort of became something else.>I think the night that got me was when David Cronenberg showed up and he is an old friend of mine. Unfortunately, he takes himself so seriously these days. He is an artist now,>And literally, he was holding court in the middle of the room, and I came over to talk to him and he didn’t even look at me. I thought this is enough of this. Forget it. Goodbye.>Eli Roth and his Hollywood hair... let him rule now. Darren Aronosfky secretly I think hates horror movies. Let the geniuses go. Let them be geniuses
>>220541980Carpenter is overrated
>>220541980I love Carpenter but his digs at other directors are tiresome. Watch his old interviews on yt where he basically shits on every other director.
>>220541980>And literally, he was holding court in the middle of the room>and I came over to talk to him and he didn’t even look at meThis sounds sort of like Cronenberg was being an asshole but it also sounds like Carpenter is whisholding some shit. Cronenberg was "holding court", it sounds more like he literally didn't notice Carpenter there because he was busy talking with a shit ton of other people and this neurotic nigga percieved it as if Cronenberg was ignoring him.
>>220541092Really neat, unique little kino. Pattinson was really good, as was the little blonde kid. Funny stuff. Kind of a companion film to Cosmopolis.
>>220541433I really liked The Shrouds. Watched it a couple of times even
>>220541308>that fire scene is so fucking badyeah one of the worst CGI effects I've ever seen.
>>220542809>Kind of a companion film to Cosmopolis.in what way
>>220541991Cronenberg is pretentious retard
>>220544169ok
>>220544169Existenz was cool af! Existenz is paused!
>>220543710I just think of them together since they're both Cberg films, made close in time, both off beat and interesting in different ways. Not thematically. Both have Pattinson in a limo too, funnily.
>>220544265yeah, you may be right, but Delillo and Wagner are pretty different writers
