When my brother was a little younger, he looked like a Mexican-Filipino Matt Damon.I used to look like young Matt Damon. Maybe back when I took picture with him.
Well now I’m tempted to seduce you just to hear you recite the hair metal lyrics!Yeah, I am not built for a camera, heh, and probably wouldn't be comfortable there. I have not yet done live voice chat, but I am open to it with the right person --probably. (I am pretty much a Lit virgin in a lot of ways, which amuses some people to no end.) When I have recorded for people before, I stay pretty vocal and verbal up to the...er...climax, then I get a bit less articulate (though I have threatened to quote hair metal lyrics). But I am with you, I love to watch and listen to reactions. It is so hot, and so powerful. Makes me come as close to feeling "sexy" as I do.
Reactions are the best.
I find Blumhouse are usually pretty solid, fun, low-budget horror flicks with interesting twists. A24 takes more creative risks, but can be hit or miss. Studios aside, I can’t think of a current individual horror filmmaker that compares to John Carpenter for me. M Night Shyamalan had a few that I liked, but also some that I reeeally loathed. I love when I come across something on a streaming channel that I’ve never even heard of before and the trailer looks so awesomely bad that I just HAVE to watch it though…like when Nicolas Cage has a new movie and you don’t know if it’s going to be amazing or terrible but you know it won’t be boring!So what does come next, for the slasher genre? I mean you had Halloween as the first major example (there were arguably slasher flicks before, but none with that impact), and on the other end you have the Scream series, which was as much a response to slasher films as examples of them. And Scream was 28 years ago. Everything else seems to be trying to come up with a tragic backstory (Rob Zombie, I'm looking at you), a comedy/parody, or an attempt to just go over the top (Terrifier series).
I'm asking you because I know you liked the Scream films, and you have mentioned watching some newer iterations of slasher flicks, and maybe you have some idea.
