Horror films

...but what did 'he couldn't manage a water fountain without screwing up' mean? How does one manage a water fountain?

I'm still on my psycho movie kick.

Domestic Disturbance- dull as hell, Vince Vaughn was not a convincing bad guy.
The Stepfather remake- from the writer and the director of one of the worst theatrical horror films aka Prom Night 2008. Well this is more watchable then that but still pretty terrible. I've always found Dylan Walsh low key hot though. Amber Herd's character seems to only be there to be in a bikini in every other scene. The film ends on a FREEZE FRAME.....I can't!

Also watched Darkness from 2002. What a waste of Anna Paquin and Lena Olin. And from the director of Rec? So boring.
Darkness was notoriously fucked with by the studio and apparently there was a very different film originally.
 
“He couldn’t manage a water fountain without screwing up” is both a conversational shorthand between friends that have known each other forever, as well as an example of concise cinematic dialogue, stripping it down to its most vital components.

In this, the dropped words are ‘to use’ and suggest that Jeremy would cover either his face, or clothes, with liquid every time he tried to take a delicious sip of mmm water from a fountain. As such, his complete lack of coordination and success at such a menial task would suggest that he couldn’t possibly be behind such a diabolical scheme.

They were wrong, and they will die.
 
I've been trying to get back into watching horror lately. I recently watched 'The dark and the wicked'. Oof, so many jump scares! I found it quite unnerving, so after that watched 'Scary stories to tell in the dark' and 'We have always lived in the castle'

The latter really wasn't a horror. I was expecting a ghost story similar to 'The haunting of hill house' as the source material is by the same author.

Has anyone here seen Nicolas Roeg's Track 29? I've been on such a Dennis Potter kick lately even if his movies aren't necessarily traditional horror (haven't seen any of his series so can't comment). I saw people calling him a misanthrope but I just see so much humanity in his characters (despite how vile and darkly comical his stories get). Anyone have anything similar to recommend?

I love his films, especially:

Don't Look Now 1973
Bad Timing 1980
Insignificance 1985
The Witches 1990

I love the novel Puffball, but his 2007 adaption is one of the worst movies ever.
 
Weren't there plans to remake Arachnophobia recently? Possibly put on hold after what happened to Julian Sands.

My mind always goes to that bizarro situation where Vocal Bible Brandy Norwood was listed on IMDb as being in it, as 'Brandy Beechwood', but it turned out to be the animal actor who played the family's Labrador dddd.
 
John Goodman should at least come back. Maybe even Jeff Daniels. The fact that their using a spider wrangler is promising and hopefully they don't go overboard on the CGI. Also Chris needs to cast Jessica Rothe in a role.
