Evil Dead 2013 was a genuinely good horror movie and great example of well done body horror. The only reason it was rated so poorly was upset fan boys.

Four. One of them had a ghost in it and I think one of them had someone driving a fast car. I don't remember much about the others.
Should men play trans women in movies? Or should only trans people get to play trans people? Please be respectful in this thread guys, this is a very sensitive subject, an important subject, and there's potential for a really meaningful conversation if we don't devolve into /pol/-tier angry Nazi posting.
Why does Jeffrey Tambor, Eddie Redmayne or Matthew Macoughnehey get to play trans woman when there are so many transgender actresses working in Hollywood? Laverne Cox for example. These people need jobs, but instead they go with cis men. It's the same thing like when they get a white kid to play Aang in the Avatar movie. Or the black man playing L in Death Note. If Idriss Elba can be James Bond, why can't Dallas Buyer's Club be played by an actual woman?

Maybe? That's be pretty funny if true, since that was literally her whole character.

I doubt any change in actors could redeem the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.
>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

I have seen this before.. Twitter?

>>86231304
wow, that's one of the best written comments I have read on this site.
Yet I disagree about cause and effect. Even if Harry potter is setting kids up for shitty literature, it at least makes reading an option for them.
I have a few friends who never acquired the habit of reading books, and at 20+ years old feel like they cannot start.
HP is shit, sure, but it isn't it better than not reading at all?

Dunkirk vs Ghostbusters 2016
>Visuals
Dunkirk: drab, blue filter, unrealistic colours. Peacefully dreamlike, which creates dissonance with the gritty subject matter of war and the anxiety that is being conveyed. Not enough soldiers and airplanes because of low budget.
Ghostbusters: High contrast, colorful and cartoony, visuals are in service of setting the tone.
>Story
Dunkirk: Three seperate stories told simultaneously only so that Nolan can intertwine them, comes across as pointless, pretentious and distracting. The pilot story has no personal growth, the father son story on the boat was novel and nice, the soldier story was inchorent fleeing and running and hiding, most boringest of them all.
Ghostbusters: Classic hero's journey, all charachters except the blonde crazy one have personal growth. Derivative of the original ghostbusters, but more low brow humour, reminds me of family guy a lot.
>Tone
Dunkirk: Anxious. Anxious. Anxious. Tense music throughout the movie, my body and mind isn't capable of feeling anxious for more than 10 minutes then it turns into BOREDOM. Some individual scenes are meant to make you feel good but it falls apart since Nolan decided to be "artistic" and make all his characters without any personality whatsoever. As someone who went in to the film rooting for the germans Nolan did NOTHING to make me root for the brits, if anything the brits were acting dishonourable and made me hate them even more.
Ghostbusters: Comedic with an emotional core. Dumb but doesn't take itself too seriously.
Overall Dunkirk is a 0/10, a movie where only one emotion is conveyed is more boring than any other movie you can mention to me. Ghostbusters gets a 4/10, some good jokes, some jokes that were so bad they were good and the happy atmosphere somewhat made up for the boring bad jokes and action.

I thought dunkirk was incredible. It kind of makes me sad that some people think it is so terrible. I am realizing that there are people who are almost fundamentally different from me. the things that I thought were great about the movie and really resonated with me are completely meaningless to alot of people
