I just watched [movie x here]
Lupercal:
Wow, so in 2050 people will be looking back with slight disugst at the sheer amount of comic book adaptions going on right now?
Its quite funny to look back on earlier releases (late 90s/00s) that don't quite follow the formula (and don't have half the budgets) of today's super-hero films. Part of me thinks Wolverine/First Class was all to try and make X-Men seem less corny than the 2000 picture (although on a second viewing, all of those films were below what I remember them being).

I think it would be fairly easy to argue that Nightmare 1 and New Nightmare are the only good films in the franchise. But oh man those 2 films are fucking amazing. The rest of them aren't even schlocky fun.

This makes me think of Rocketeer. Mainly because it was based on a comic, but it wasn't really a superhero movie. Pretty formulaic, though, as I recall. I also remember enjoying it thoroughly, though now I can barely remember it. Did anyone else ever see it?

I was quite shocked to watch number one again after so long and see that Freddy is SO fucking creepy. It's hard to think that there was once a time where they didn't ruin him by making him such a practical joker.

Krueger is one of the best of the horror icons of the period by a long shot, definitely the best slasher of all time. The face he is that despite the quality of the sequels is a pretty good testament to the quality of the first film and how deeply it digs into the fears of the first film. I could talk about horror and and analyzing it all damn day.
I just watched Kill Bill Vol. 1 again and it's always hilarious how much more sense so many small scenes in Tarantino films make when you are aware of his massive foot fetish.
