Oddly enough, it sort of reminds me of how this scene was constructed:
WATCH YOUR FINGER!
I really need to see the original.

Did I ever tell you if the time I was feeling kind of blue, and decided to watch Snowpiercer cause I thought, āthat john hurt, isnt he is a helluva guyā?
It was kind of like thinking, " I like carpentry documentaries " and putting on Saw.

John Hurt? The Star of Frank Herbertās Dune?
Meh.
I watched Snowpiercer in pieces over 4 or 5 nights. I enjoyed it, despite itself - it was obvious the cast had a boat-load of fun. The way the train crashed killing virtually the rest of humanity was a bit, if youāll pardon the pun, cold.
I am mildly curious about the Saw franchise. In the same no-way-Iām-ever-going-to-see-it way that Iām curious about The Human Centipede.
The Devilās Rejects was bad enough. At the end of the film, we each discovered the other suffered through it thinking the other wanted to see it. Total miscommunication (I brought it home from the library because my wife still had a soft spot for Rob Zombie [mine vanished years ago, with the exception of that laundry commercial]).
The use of Groucho Marx character names in a horror (or whatever) film is beyond forgiveable.

Yeah, in the right place and right time snowpiercer would be awesome. I have such a crush on Tilda it isnāt even funny. Her and Miranda Richardson, I would let them do depraved (deee-praved) things to me.
Speaking of Tilda, We Need To Talk About Kevin almost ripped my heart out.

Man, I love me some Kevin smith, and I thought red state, while flawed, was still excellent.
But no. Not tusk. Just no.
They are both very good. The originalā¦ Well it could be said to have popularized Noir. And I adore the awkwardness of both films. But the end scenes in both make them worth it. (Even though one is basically a fourth wall breaking of the first)

Iām stealing that, thanks. But I believe you left out the pubic hair of the Great Lumpy Himalayan Yak.
Nosferatu was great up until the end. I dunno it just didnāt work well for me with the like oh we donāt what to do for good ending and they just went with making the vampire do something unbelievably dumb even for a movie. Totally worth seeing though.
I donāt know if its still there, but I got Nosferatu from archive.org with the kickass soundtrack by Art Zoyd.
hmm. Iām watching the Amazon Prime (Restored KINO) version, which is pretty decent. Itās color graded, too!

Meh it only finds the newest version. So canāt get a rating for Gojira/Godzilla can get a rating for the Corman classic The Raven. or even Little Shop of Horrors. 
See, but doesnāt this result confirm my argument that the further back a movie was produced, the more likely it will be deemed pretentious? Because people voting on the internet on IMDB or RT will be less likely to grok the filmās context?
And a lot of film critics will review the ābest films of all timeā.
Youāll find quite a few glowing reviews of āKing Kongā, āCitizen Kaneā. Not many critics will try to find the āabsolute worst film of 1931ā, unless it somehow picked up an oscar.
