Ben Foster is a very good actor. I've seen him in other films and he's always good. I'd probably watch HoHW mostly for him moreso than Chris Pine, who I haven't seen in other films besides Star Trek. I never pass up a good war movie, even shitty ones on Netflix or documentaries so I want to see Hacksaw despite my dislike for Mel Gibson. I typically avoid drama type films, which is what Oscars usually reward, but I feel like I need to watch Hidden Figures at least because it's a story I've never heard before, and you'd think it would be something they'd at least teach us all about in USA.  Fences seems more like a play. I need to make more of an effort to watch films from points of views of other peoples lives, minorities, etc.,  so Moonlight is one I am interested in. Since you're a media guy, have you seen an indie film called 'Tangerine' by any chance? It's was filmed entirely with an iphone in Los Angeles and it's a about a Trans woman crime drama. I know more about Casey Afflecks rape allegations than the plot of his film. LOL! Thats the film I want to see. I don't really like musicals but that stupid City of Stars song got stuck in my head.

I won't read the review until I eventually play the game which will most likey be on the WiiU. I've played the Zelda games from the beginning and honestly for me, the last good games in the series were A Link to the Past and Links Awakening. Majoras Mask is special but most of the games have been iterations of the same Ocarina of Time and I feel like the last few games have been vastly over rated. Dark Souls 1 and 2 are better games than the Zelda sequels on gamecube honestly. 

I loved It Follows. It reminded me of how Stranger Things played around with nostalgia. Very effective.

Hellraiser starts off with some guy buying a wierd trinket (puzzle box) from the middle east/africa then goes missing, apparantley after solving the puzzle and opening a door to another dimension. The story then picks up, years later where the now missing guys brother moves into his house with his wife and daughter. Frank (dead puzzle box guy) starts to reanimate slowly in a bedroom upstairs after blood drips through the floor, then the wife finds him all bloody and starts killing people, co-workers, to feed him until he is whole again. The wife is still in love with dead brother so she acts as his accomplice. Also, demons cross-over and holy fuck!
I should read the book then. Didn't know he was gay. Interesting. Not sure if it plays into this movie? I mean aside from bondage shit, but is that exclusivly a gay thing? Fifty shades is about that, but its for chicks, so I don't know? 

Alright, I'll bite and watch Green Room. Honestly just the trailer irked me. 

As for Hellraiser, it has that feeling of artisitic integrity, where the creator is telling his story where I don't know what the main motivation is from everybody, just fucked up shit happens. I also like the 80s nostalgia. The visual effects still hold up. I dont know what the demons are about though? They're just there looking scary. 

"Eventually did beat it". I LOL'd at that. I know what you mean. I can really just play it peice meal, because the bosses are unreal. It's a tough game!

I mean, no one likes the combat, although you are free to customize abilities with any weapons combos which I haven't seen many MMOs do besides FF14. The story is untouchable compared to other MMOS. I played for story content. 

Oh! I don't know if X1 version is bad, just that PS3 ver. had slower framerate than  ps4. I played it on PC, but I've seen the final collection on sale on PS4 loads of times and will buy/play again there soon.

Here is article if you're interested.

I liked the way the main character fought back in Hush.It was like an extended opening of Scream 1 with Drew Barimore, or the ending of the original Nightmare on Elm Street where the women are trapped with the intruder and have to fight back. Home Alone too, I guess? At first I felt like her handicap was a cheap mechanic to get the viewer to care. Then I felt bad for assuming a handicap person couldn't be clever enough to survive an attack. It made me uncomfortable, but in the same way that anyone trapped w/ an intruder would be uncomfortable.

I saw Scream when it debuted on TV and wasn't blown away by it either. Watching through it on Netflix, it feels more like the films I guess because of the lack of commercial breaks and is more fluid. The thing that kept me going was the mystery of who the killer was, although I suspected who it might be in the beginning, I kept changing my mind as I watched more of it. There is also this double mystery of the origin of the killer. There is a history in the world where a deformed man was killed by police and drowned in a lake, so when murders start, there is a sense that there is a Friday the 13th type killer wanting revenge. There is a nerdy kid that is trying to piece together the whole puzzle, just as there is in the films. It follows the film formula, but the teen angst drama might make it hard to sit through all the episodes. I also like how it plays around with social media. I liked it.

There is another film, the Green Room, which I dont care to watch just based on the description of it. Just don't want to see nazi punks murdering kids. 

Have you seen the original Hellraiser? I saw it recently and was pretty horrified by it. Actually, I was as a kid as well. That's some gory shit!

I really hate watching torture scenes of any kind, especially mean spirited or emotional ones with a sense of realisim where the bad guy gets away with it. Korean horror films especially go a bit too far with their shock. Not saying I can't or won't watch, but it does get to me. I was watching season one of the Scream TV show and characters get killed off every week. One of the characters was a closeted Lesbian who goes to a religious school and is in a secret relationship with one of the main characters who is also bisexual/gay girl. Anyway, the Scream killer on the show mainly uses text chats to lure people into traps and uses voice to mock and intimidate, but the killer in this case lured the closeted gay girl onto her deck/balcony to meetup thinking it was her girlfriend and the killer wrapped a noose over her neck and through her over the balcony. Then it was framed like a suicide, so her girlfriend thinks she commited susiced and doesn't know it was the killer because she was later hung from her ceiling fan in her room to look like a suicide. Very fucked up, emotionally. 
There's also another movie I watched on Netflix called 'Hush' where a deaf woman is being stalked by creepy guy with a hockey mask in a cabin house in the woods and she cant really much except run and hide. Again, it's a simple premise but seeing a handicap person being tortured like that is kind of hard to watch.

I think Scream is a good TV show if you like the movies. It's updated for social media age and Hush isn't really gory or shocking, it's just uncomfortable to watch.

 Are your film selections on Netflix? 

 Also, I didn't like the new Scream mask at first, but as the show went on I was genuinly terrifed whenever he showed up, because he hardly shows up. That absense of the fear kind works
