Matthew Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 (edited) Sorry for the double post, but nobody else has posted for a month. Saw X If you’ve come this far, and still get joy and enjoy the Saw franchise, you’re going to love this one. It’s clearly been made by those that care for the franchise and the history of it. If you never cared for the series, then this won’t win you over. But this fits between, what many consider, the two best films in the franchise, and although doesn’t re-write, nor have the big jaw dropping twist the Saw films have been known for, does a great job in itself, of telling a story. The first third of the film don’t feel like a Saw film, while still having little nods, be it in the script, or in the score, to what it’s known for. Tobin Bell, is so good as Jigsaw/John Kramer, and he carries this film throughout. Edited September 29, 2023 by Matthew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAREBEAR LUVVA Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 The "reimagined" Toxic Avenger had its premiere at a film festival last week. The handful of reviews that appeared online are unanimously positive, and this trailer which appeared online today (the first footage to be released to the public) seems to back up everything they're saying about how the new version captures the campy daftness of the original. Very much looking forward to this, although there's no release date (apart from a couple of festival screenings) so fuck knows when anyone might actually get to see it.

Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted September 29, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted September 29, 2023 Been waiting for stuff about that toxic avenger reboot to start showing up as it was announced absolutely ages ago, the tone looks so good. Toxic avenger is one of my all time faves (unsurprisingly) and I like everything I've seen from Macon Blair so I was really anticipating this one. I would like to see a traditional kind big muscly classic Toxie in it but I'll reserve any apprehension til I know more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBacon Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 This is very much worth your time. I just love him. Last months Sight & Sound had a fantastic interview with him, and him talking about the S&S greatest films. I'll try and take pics and post it.

Paid Members Dead Mike Posted November 8, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted November 8, 2023 Didn't even know there was another one on the horizon. Well up for this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted November 9, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted November 9, 2023 https://www.darkhorizons.com/warners-scraps-coyote-vs-acme-release/ Warner bros scrapping the release of another finished film rather than releasing it. Sounds like it was really my bag too, Will (Magruber) Forte as Wile E Coyote's lawyer vs John Cena as head of Acme in a hybrid live action cartoon. I think some version if this has been in development for like well over a decade from what I remember. Is Will Forte best know for Macgruber? Maybe last man on earth, I think he's hilarious in any case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted November 10, 2023 Moderators Share Posted November 10, 2023 He was good in his recurring role in 30 Rock. Macgruber is atrocious and no one should watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
