[Guestx]

Well, looks like this one's already over.

Sorry to see that Dirty Harry didn't win. Been meaning to watch that one forever.

I tried.

Looks like we better call in @europe1 to call it.

 

[europe1]

We have a Winner!

​

We also have our fist antology film in the SMC! Get hyped people! Not sure how this discussion will turn out. As I mentioned -- one of the directors in Southbound is also the filmmaker behind The Ritual.

Muhahaha it turns out that my contribution as club-President was satanism all along!

When I get time I'll talk about the Swedish satanist-pagan death cult in The Ritual thread whom were also a darn hardcore metal band. Spoiler: it contains a botched ritual sacrifice.

Cool. The ritual got me in the mood to try some other horror shows.

Hostiles looks good as well.

 

[the muntjac]

Brb. Going to put Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast record on and slip into my bad ass red jeans.

As club-president you now have my premission to watch Kwaidan instead.

Taking bets on whether I will be more or less scared than the ritual.

I've seen the film.

The only thing you have to be fearful of is your own shadow.

Shadow has good cardio.

We were discussing what makes a "great" movie. To me, a clear sign that Pulp Fiction isn't great is the fact that its supposed major strength is its characters. Putting aside the fact that I don't find its characters compelling, a great film must have much more than idiosyncratic characters. It should have an interesting plot, its scenes must be compact, and subplots must weave together elegantly. Pulp Fiction has none of these qualities.

Fellow Club Members, I poached this from another forum. We should encourage this gentlemen to join in our ranks. He sounds like a student of the art and possibly a contributor.

Join up @waiguoren. We're all friends here.
