Anatominals from SNL, wow https://screen.yahoo.com/tv-funhouse-anatominals-000000165.html

okay, this has been gradually annoying me further. first of all, in the late sixties, night of living dead was made, and this depiction of violence onscreen made people see what else they could get away with, like depicting rape (which the movies i'm ranting about were missed by several years). so, depicting rape in a movie nowadays, forty-five years after their first depiction is nothing special, and thus movies invented solely to depict rape are not "special", meaning remakes of this and last house on the left (which itself has two remakes, more or less) removing any justification to remake them to begin with. so going back a while, even the original i spit on your grave was a bearer of obvious problems, even the tagline "this woman has killed [number] men, but no jury would convict her" - this is obvious bs. someone who went back and murdered people who did some wrong weeks or months ago is clearly guilty of pre-meditated murder. even if she killed them in self-defense, some juries would question how she needed to kill a group she overpowered all by herself, or how she would've know they intended to rape her, but besides noting the movie's mindset was very goofy from the time it started. but the issue is with these clearly pointless remakes and how they manage to be even more ridiculous than you'd expect in the 80's, there wasn't as much political correctness so portraying a retard as an evil person was accepted, the remake changes this with ridiculous results. in the remake, the retard member of the group is literally forced to have sex with the female victim who gets treated as a victim - the others would've slit her throat otherwise -and is shown to be absolutely devastated afterwards. somehow, being forced with have sex with doesn't seem to make him a rape victim since the movie reverts to following its predecessor and she murders him along with the guys who are actual rapists. it should be noted, the director, even in the syfy movies he made, did include much more character depth and such than you'd normally find in a modern movie, so that he intended to portraying a rape victim (woman, not retard) as becoming a villain. i wasn't convinced, but it was possible note: despite the first director being a massive feminist, he knew that to get the audience to empathise with someone who commits horrific murders. the remake? near everything happens to the protagonist offscreen. then there's the second movie in the series, which iirc shares a director with the remake, isn't so much a problem - the rape victim from this movie is't unsympathetic, except for a bit when she reports her rape but doesn't even her mention her friend who was murdered trying to protect her. i'd even ignored that a female leader of a human trafficking ring (the franchise's one female villain) gets to live and get off scott-free, until now, but- i recently the promotions for the third movie airing on tv firstly, the detestable protagonist from the remake is back, still going on about the group she killed deserved it (even the retard who was forced to have sex with her it seems) second, there's a cop saying about how it has to proved that perpetrators are guilty of rape before being punished, and brace yourselves i'm not making this up the cop has Hitler's hair HITLER'S HAIR what a brilliant, mature statement about those who argue people accused of rape aren't automatically guilty. and yes, this retroactively makes it much more likely for the remake's attitude the man forced to have to sex with was commiting rape by being forced to have sex was exactly as it appears on the surface. can't wait until i spit on your grave movie 4, where i'd assume they have the protaginist rape a man, then kidnap and torture him for months for being raped.

Let's bring this thread back. Last movie I've seen was furious 7. Watched it with my folks. Slept about halfway through tho.

So, for those who are fans of the types of movies that are "so bad they're good", whether they be low budget 60s monster/sci-fi, the deluge of bad sci-fi in the 70s-80s following Star Wars' success, or the modern low budget Sci Fi Channel original movie, what are your personal favorite bad movies? For me, I think that Plan 9 From Outer Space is probably my top favorite, as though it is one of the more commonly listed ones, it is quite an experience, with a bizarre plot, a hilariously incompetent alien menace, horrible effects, and even an inability to keep it consistently night or day between shots. After this, it is a close competition between the well known 1980 version of Flash Gordon and the more obscure Starcrash. Both are quintessential 70s-80s bad sci-fi, I think I would have to put Starcrash above Flash Gordon, as its plot, props, and dialog are even worse, and Flash Gordon is lacking a scene of David Hasselhoff fighting stop-motion robots with a lightsaber: So, what are your favorite bad movies?

Just saw the trailer for angry birds movie. They're in anger management lol.

Name a movie that best describes your sex life

Reboots and remakes are a concept that is very clearly here to stay, for better or for worse. I've known some remakes to be better than the original, I've known some to be infinitely worse. So I have no preconceived notions of whether or not they are, as a concept, good or bad. It's all really up to how they're treated by their writers, directors, and studios, when it all comes down to it. I usually won't instantly resist the idea, I'm not one to get outraged when a favourite movie or franchise from my adolescence gets the treatment. I never condemn the idea outright. But of course this doesn't mean I don't have opinions on whether or not I think it's likely a good idea to do so. Are there any reboots/remakes you love? Any you hate? Any you're looking forward to, that you want to happen, or hope that they never do? I hope Back To The Future is never touched, personally. I actually wouldn't mind a reboot of the Matrix franchise, I feel the concept could be executed so much better. And I hear that Flight Of The Navigator, and the Neverending Story are both in talks, perhaps even in production for remakes. Both were childhood favourites, and both are also deeply dated and kind of hard to watch and enjoy as an adult, or a youth of the modern world. I would love to see both of these movies updated and brought to the youngin's of today! So I'd say I'm looking forward to both of those.

I think a general MCU thread is in order And I figure if there is going to be any discussion then it's probably necessary to add that this will be one spoiler as hell thread. Anyone else out there at all invested in this crazy cool interconnected Film, Television and Netflix universe? Are you in deep like I am, following all the relevant TV and Netflix series, catching each movie on opening night in Gold Class or whatever the equivalent overpriced cushy cinematic experience is in your region, engaging in regular discussions with other fans? Just a casual viewer who happily checks out each movie as they come to DvD or Bluray (Or just downloads them illegally, you scoundrels)? Maybe you've only seen a few of the movies, maybe you liked them well enough but aren't convinced you want to bother getting invested in the larger universe proper? Favourite entries? Least favourite entries? Highly anticipated movies or series that have already been announced? Highly desired movies or series that haven't been announced? Really anything and everything MCU related.
