barbaric Sharia law

Just day after some dude got 30 years of jail for participating in protest and attenuating circumstances were that he was not even there, otherwise he would get 50+ years.

what a great target for radical terrorists to seize.... a protest encampment at a liberal arts college.

we all know that the true levers of power and the machinations of the deep state in US political economy are toggled from within a protest encampment at a liberal arts college.

50% chance this features Big Jake Rivers from 2019 hit conservative novel Trigger Warning

Jesus, that is one hell of a long elevator pitch, what elevator were they in, the burj khalifa's?

The elevator pitch is just "Escape from New York, but Red Pilled"

Been listening to the Afghanistan season of blowback, and if there is a segment of the us population that has been known to cultivate radical islamic terrorists, it certainly isn't liberal college students.

I used to do IT work at a place that did some independent film production on the side. Apparently there was a local guy who came in to submit a screenplay/treatment for a remake of Jaws called Horns, where the setting was changed from the ocean to the prairie, and instead of a killer shark, it was a killer buffalo. It was otherwise a scene-for-scene remake. I never got a chance to read it, and I can neither confirm nor deny whether the line "...we're gonna need a bigger ATV" was in the script.

I would rather see that unhinged plagiaristic bullshit made than whatever the fuck this is.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That sounds sick. Jaws with a different animal is a perfectly fine subgenre of B movie.

[–] 30_to_50_Feral_PAWGs@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't think he realized it was a B movie plot. He kept insisting that it would "make a million dollars."

If it had been evangelical Christian slop, I'm sure the owners would have gone for it sight unseen. "Jesus sacrifices himself to stop the buffalo at the end" = instant greenlight with those absolute dinguses.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Making a million dollars is about a B movie level of profit. The best bad movies are fueled by someone who thinks theyre making something amazing as well. I bet if someone else did a second pass on the script and made it less of an explicit ripoff there would be something there if not for the practical issue of having a buffalo be the shark. Jaws famously works partially due to how little you see the shark, buffalo live on land and cant freely hide beneath it. Theyre also a herd animal, which you could work into the movie like this buffalo is so fucked the herd wants nothing to do with it, but a bigass animal that tends to live on flat plains doesnt lend itself to suspense. Then there's making a fake buffalo not look fake

The original intention was that we’d see the shark a whole bunch; they built a complicated animatronic shark rig to feature heavily in the scenes. Problem was, mixing all those mechanical parts, hydraulics, and electronics with salt water resulted in an animatronic shark that broke down constantly. So they switched to having the shark only in fleeting moments as a matter of necessity.

That is exactly why The Room is considered to be the best bad movie of all time. It wasn't made by a hack just throwing something together for a quick buck, nor was it someone trying to make a bad movie, but they have to be a bit too self aware. It was genuinely a passion piece made by a guy who only has a vague idea how filmmaking works.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

That isnt rare for good bad movies at all. The Room just happened to break through. Im disappointed at the hype it has when stuff like Miami Connection, Raw Force, Kill Point, Deadly Prey, Samurai Cop, Hard Ticket to Hawaii and more are just like...so much more goodbad. Neil Breen crushes Tommy Wiseau as a weird guy who makes movies and he has made a few

Yo that sounds awesome, right up there with Cocaine Bear

[–] NinjaGinga@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

Unironically that's dope as fuck, I hope that guy's going places. Maybe not good places, but still

[–] Futterbinger@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago

I can't believe they're remaking 24.

[–] regul@hexbear.net 21 points 1 day ago

He'll yeah

They're doing all their hypothetical fantasies in one movie!

jesus-christ

I really need to get someone to finance Death By Cloud

If they'll fund this garbage, why wouldn't they fund a movie where a group of teenagers have to fight for their lives against a genetically engineered super-cloud?

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

I would!

It could be called Bytes and Bobs

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Didn't Stephen King already do The Fog or something like that?

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago (3 children)

See, the cloud is a sentient evil physical creature

Created by Doctor Frictor Wankenstein for the US government out of the most evil, yet affordable DNA available

Of course, such a terrible thing cannot be controlled and it breaks loose the same weekend as the Tri-State High School Teen Rally for High School Teens

The teens have to work together to discover the cloud's weakness and kill it before they all suffer...

DEATH BY CLOUD

[–] ShareThatBread@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think Jordan Peele has done this already.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

Nope :kelly:

SPOILERS WHAT ABOUT EVERYONE WAITING FOR THE MOVIE BECAUSE THEY CAN'T STAND THE BOOK

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Does it turn people inside out?

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago

Acid rain, lightning strikes, hail the size of Buicks, hurricane-force winds

The finale has one of the teens use a stolen army helicopter to fly into the cloud and shoot it to death

I'm very proud of the fact that I came up with the line, "Of course, a helicopter! Helicopters fly in an entirely different way than planes!"

[–] isame@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What the fuck.

Man, I enjoyed Lovecraft Country, too. Why do people have to be shitty?

[–] isame@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've done some light consulting of the machine spirit that is Google search now, and learned that he's been a known piece of shit for some time now. I just missed the memo because I really don't follow this kind of thing at all.

I hope the show was as good as I remember, at least. I was drinking heavily during that time of my life so I don't remember too much about the show itself. I just remember genuinely enjoying it, and getting excited about some of the things that were referenced. But I've never claimed to have good taste, so who knows.

[–] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago

I really enjoyed the first episode, but we never got back to watching it after the second. I don't even remember it being that much worse, it just felt very different in terms of atmosphere and what it was trying to do that I remember losing some interest.

The Netflix show Something Bad is Going to Happen was very similar. The first episode is among the creepiest I've ever seen on television, even compared to other straight horror shows. As the series goes on, it changes very much from that initial episode, though, into something else. Doesn't mean it's bad later, just different.

I always thought those ones were satire, or at least started that way.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's a good question. It might have been satire at first but then it got picked up by very sincere brainwormed chuds.

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

Yeah, it's hard to tell. All I remember a lot of these being passed around edgy atheist circles at the time to laugh at them.
