@Filthy for (what ultimately became) a PG-13 film (it was actually released as R, but Spielberg appealed that with the MPAA when PG-13 came out a couple of years after theatrical release), Poltergeist is terrifying. It just has an eerie quality. The soundtrack/sound effects help establish that atmosphere. I love it but see how it could scar someone–I was unsettled for some time after I saw it as a boy. Guessing it might seem pretty silly if I were to view it now, but that's probably more due to primitive special effects than anything.
yeah man, I am not kidding about having nightmares for like 30+ years. I watched Poltergeist 2 and I thought it was pretty cool. The Geiger designs kind of missed their mark though. But I read that he wasn't happy with the movie at all. But he refused to fly to Hollywood until it was too late. But I still thought certain aspects of the movie were awesome. I also love JoBeth Williams from that era too…

I don't even remember II, I should probably give it another spin. I really think that Ridley Scott & co did such a great job bringing Giger's art to life in the xenomorphs that it will be hard to top that, especially if they didn't engage until late in the project.

I really hope they work Bill Murray back into the sequel.

Did anyone see The Dead Don't Die? It was baaaaaaaaaaad.

Shit. Really?!

ˆActually that’s quite the best possible way to monetize Keanu’s newly re-established coolness. All they need now is a decent script, something they admittedly haven’t had access to since the first episode. ::)
I’m cautiously optimistic about this project.
Exactly my thoughts. Fingers crossed…

Ok, seriously, how did this elude me. The Irisman film from a few years ago was good…but this!!!

Visually cool but only ok as far as the story goes

John Wick 3: 6/10
I liked it but it felt rushed and cobbled together.

Finally got around to watching Alien: Covenant. I found it less shit than I feared and than others reported. Not great by any means, a bit by the numbers, but a nice continuation of the origin story and decent amalgamation of elements from both Prometheus and the the OG movies.

It was definitely better than Prometheus which isn’t saying much. My biggest complaint was the lack of character development. With the original films you connected with the characters. With Prometheus and Covenant Ridley created disposable characters that you didn’t care for. I’m nitpicking though as I’m prone to do with the Alien franchise [emoji850]
