Depressing Stream #1

[herpymcderp]

So, because Noodles enjoys fellating me, this week he has turned the shitstream movie list over to me! This week, the movies will not be shit! However, because I am a harsh benefactor I have decided that he shall play only movies showcasing the darkest ennui this world has to offer. You're welcome.

First up will be a movie recommended by blessezmoi, guaranteed to make you feel either sad or claustrophobic*, or both. Starring Ryan Reynolds, directed by Chris Cortez, and with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 87%, it's Buried.

Second on the docket is a fucked up psychological horror classic. Chock full of visuals that inspired the likes of Silent Hill and your second cousin's film school final project, it's Jacob's Ladder! It'll leave you wondering if reality is real and where the limits of sanity lie.

And to end things off, we'll be turning to a lighter note with Stephen King's The Mist. Most accurately termed an action horror, this film is really a commentary about what happens when small town mentality is reduced to life in a metaphorical petri dish on the verge of what might be the apocalypse. It's a personal favorite, and is definitely not to be missed.



Don't despair though, intermissions will be happy baby animal videos and heavy drinking so we don't all wind up crying into our saftey blankets by the end of the night. Plus, as always, there's a porn parody for the after party and this week we'll be showing Tosh.Hole! Gay porn without skipping the sex scenes! It's a Christmas miracle!

So join us, won't you, for the first (and possibly last) time I'll be allowed to inflict my painful, painful film taste on the stream.


Saturday 3pm Pacifc/6pm EST at http://original.livestream.com/kagato23
P.S. Sorry for the confusion I copied and pasted the usual EST time intending to change it to Pacific time but then I didn't and everything got messed up! Actual times are now posted!


*it should go without saying, but trigger warnings are in place for anyone who really does suffer from claustrophobia. Viewer discretion is advised.

Jacob's Ladder is one of my favorite horror movies. I wouldn't qualify The Mist as action though.

To me it's skirting the line between action and not action, especially as far as horror movies go. It's no Resident Evil (the first movie) or Dog Soldiers or one of the more high-octane slasher flicks by any stretch of the imagination, but neither is it The Exorcist or Paranormal Activity or The Blair Witch Project in terms of extended scenes of nothing at all happening. It has a decent amount of action for its runtime, which I'd say lands it in about the middle of the crowd if you wanted a full statistical breakdown.

So I guess in the context of the other horror films I've seen, I'd personally describe it as action horror rather than not despite the fact that you're correct and it's it's sort of in the no man's land.

Horror might be my favorite genre, but damn does it have some dull films.

FWIW I prefer slow burn films anyway, and I liked The Mist a whole hell of a lot.

Aw man I remember just being annoyed by The Mist, but I remember going all, "HEY IT'S THAT GUY" every time I saw an actor. Like Melissa McBride who I only knew from her future in Walking Dead. I liked the ending though because depression of course.

To be fair, most of the movie proper is a bit annoying, yeah. It's kind of a paint by numbers horror movie with a somewhat interesting premise and some action thrown in. But no spoilers for people who haven't seen it haha.
