@frightya.bsky.socialHeh, yep. We sure can.
When you can throw away the entire first hour without losing anything of value, you've failed Film 101.
It isn't Powell's fault imo, albeit a miscast. Still, with a better director, script, and cohesive vision... but those were not present.
@filmfatale217.bsky.socialColman Domingo was great. Lee Pace was fully clothed. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
@frightya.bsky.socialI mean it's not like there's supernatural elements or anything. It's the horror of the poverty, the desperation. That's something King knew intimately from his own life, and it permeates the entire story.
The film uses that as a frame but I can't feel it, here.
@hungry4horror.bsky.socialThe movie had some entertaining moments, but overall it was just nice to spend time with #FrightClub
@kcarr2015.mstdn.social.ap.brid.gy...and that's why that movie, despite massive star power, didn't do so well!
@frightya.bsky.socialI stand by the assessment that you could skip about the first hour if you know the basic outline. But it does pick up after that.
It's better if you haven't read the source story tho. Because this is just a fun action film. There's no sense of horror here.
@filmfatale217.bsky.socialAnd Prime just gave me a 3 minute ad break.
@kcarr2015.mstdn.social.ap.brid.gyWe, like Ben Richards, have been through a lot tonight.
@frightya.bsky.socialI know, right? 😂
@frightya.bsky.socialIt is not. 😄
It does get entertaining after a while. But you really could skip pretty nearly the first hour.

@kcarr2015.mstdn.social.ap.brid.gyIt's like this movie is meant to be watched in 15 minute chunks.
@frightya.bsky.socialAw, rough.
I had that happen a few years ago. I wear my night guard religiously now!
@frightya.bsky.social"Do not start crying. I will shoot us both if you start crying."
Over an hour and a half in, we have the first moment where I liked our hero!

Damn bruh, that's dark.
@filmfatale217.bsky.socialIt's only Day 17?
@filmfatale217.bsky.socialI dozed off
@frightya.bsky.socialAgreed. Once he has this weird little buddy, the tone makes a lot more sense. And it's much more compelling to watch.
@ibetta.bsky.socialI wasn’t wearing my glasses and hadda squint… I thought at first it was a de-oranged 47! 😳😂🤣😂
