Unless you're working with dramatic industrial chemicals, you've probably never heard of the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board.

Unlike most federal agencies, these people are, however, very cool.

Apart from their usual work of investigating chemical-related accidents and nagging the industry to up their safety standards, they also put out absolutely kino videos documenting and explaining all sorts of industrial accidents , and the quality of their animations has only increased over the last 15 years.

This is what "disaster documentary" youtubers wish they could be, give this stuff a look.

I have watched a metric ton of sometimes shit horror films. Here's some of the better ones most of which are free on streaming.

Here are some recent recs since is coming up:

• Black Mountain Side: Some weird shit, reminds me of The Thing. Group of isolated station workers in the cold north of Canada dig up something.

• Possessor: Premise is interesting and unique. If you like body horror you'll like this. The scene with Sean Bean is honestly disturbing. An assassin enters other people's minds to make them kill. I believe at one point a chick has a peepee.

• Lord of Illusions: Clive Barker makes a noir horror film. The CG effects are hilariously dated (practical are great though) but the story is quite original and it has a great old horror movie feel. A stage magician hires a detective.

• Come True: Weaker story but great cinematography and pretty cool effects. A woman joins a sleep study and has difficulty distinguishing dream from reality.

• The Wailing (Korean): Probably not very hidden but worth mentioning because it is excellent. I'll say very little about it to not spoil anything.

• From Beyond: One of the few "based on Lovecraft" movies that isn't shit. What happens when a machine to see another dimension also makes you horny and into S&M?

• Southbound: An anthology of semi joined horror films. I enjoyed each entry and thought overall it was quite good.

• Dead End: Ray Wise is excellent in everything. Again may not be particularly hidden. But an interesting story. Family takes a trip to inlaws for Christmas.

Few Stephen King recs:

• Storm of the Century: Probably the best of the old Stephen King adaptations (sans Shining). Gets carried by acting and doesn't drag even though it's ~4.5 hrs.

• Rose Red: A haunted house stories that King wrote directly for TV. I have never seen a movie that felt more like the "explore a haunted house" trope than this. It's also has a classic statue comes alive scene.

• Riding the Bullet: Character study kind of deal. Not bad but not particularly "horror." Can't remember much else.

Argento recommendation:

• Creepers/Phenomenon: It misses a ton of the bright cinematography of things like Inferno/Suspira but it has a somewhat more coherent story until the end just gets completely whacky. A monkey actually chopped off Jennifer Connelly's finger in this film.

Gimme your recommendations.

Man she makes German sound so gay she just non stop repeat “your mom is a ho I frick you” like b-word read a book or something, your vocabulary is painful small. Like she could use some schwulen word and some arschlochs and the way she says lach nur is soooo cringe it’s is such bipoc way.

That Turk is also very charming, I hope he seen the pantsu shot.

Trailer for Ari Shaffir's new comedy special "Jew" out November 2nd on some platform idk I didn't wait to see where it was streaming but it's probably on Netflix or his own webpage's VOD platform oh wait it's going to be on YouTube so it will be free which is good for his target audience get it?

Shitty bot said that /r/drama is a similar topic, so ya'll have to discuss.

Wow this man stresses me out. Is there a name for this kind of person? Jeez Louise.

I really like how it paralleled holy imagery with depraved horrible shit. It was beautifully shot and very clever in how it transitioned between shots too. I though Gary Oldman did a fricking great job as Dracula but Keanu Reeves sucked. Overall I’d give it like an 8/10 and I see why it’s a cult classic now.

In case you forgot, if you didn't see "Bros" it's cause you hate gay people according to the director

Marlon Wayans Defies Cancel Culture, Says Comedies Like ‘White Chicks’ Are “Needed”: “I Ain’t Listening To This Generation”

Marlon Wayans is pushing back on political correctness and said that he will not change his comedy style to survive in this day and age and appease the current generation.

In a recent interview, Wayans was asked if a movie like 2004’s White Chicks could “thrive” and not fall into “cancel culture.”

“I think they’re needed. I don’t know what planet we’re on, where you think people don’t need laughter, and that people need to be censored and canceled. If a joke is gonna get me canceled, thank you for doing me that favor,” he told Buzzfeed. “It’s sad that society is in this place where we can’t laugh anymore. I ain’t listening to this darn generation.”

White Chicks is a comedy directed by Keenan Ivory Wayans about two Black FBI agents, played by Wayans and his brother Shawn, who go undercover as women in whiteface to solve a kidnapping plot. The film was nominated for five Razzies including Worst Picture, Worst Actress, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay and Worst Screen Couple.

Over time, some have considered White Chicks problematic, but Wayans assured in the interview that he would not stop making films that make people laugh.

“I ain’t listening to these folks: These scared-a** people, these scared executives,” he added. “Y’all do what you want to do? Great. I’m still gonna tell my jokes the way I tell them. And if you want to make some money, jump on board. And if not, then I’ll find a way to do it myself. I know my audience. My audience comes to my shows every weekend and they leave feeling great and laughing. One thing about the Wayans, we’ve always told the worst joke the best way.”

Wayans recently starred and produced The Curse of Bridge Hollow for Netflix which was released on the streaming platform on October 14.

Discussion in now jannied post https://old.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/ybgu7z/film_critics_are_becoming_irrlevant/

I've seen a few of these seasons but I didn't know they had so many before they started to air them on AMC. Anyway, check it out.

The film is set in the 17th century during the Swedish invasion of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in the years 1655 to 1658, known as The Deluge, which was eventually thwarted by Polish-Lithuanian forces. However, a quarter of the Polish-Lithuanian population died from the war and plague, and the country's economy was devastated.

Despite this Polish Captains Wolodjosky (dark hair) and Kmicic (blonde) manage to find the time to have a swordfight over a foid in the pissing rain.

Actors Tadeusz Łomnicki and Daniel Olbrychski trained with sabers for months for this scene and were instructed by director Jerzy Hoffman to really go for each other. Łomnicki mistimes a thrust at one point and almost hits Olbrychski across the head- a blow which could have been fatal.

This movie lost a shit ton of money at the box office but it's actually very good. There is a lot of made-up stuff in it but Buffalo Bill and his family really did risk their lives saving escaped slaves on the Freedom Railroad and Annie Oakley really did accidentally shoot her husband in a show while she had a broken arm and he pretended he was fine.

Miss Oakley was drama personified, btw: almost killed Kaiser Wilheim when she shot a cigarette out of his mouth (Bill thought it was great btw- man was chad as frick), sued 55 newspapers and William Randolph Hearst successfully for saying she stole money to fuel her coke habit, lied about her age because she was jealous of another foid with a gun (who she pursued a lifelong feud with) and lied about when she was married because her husband (the one she shot) was still married when they got hitched, tried to start her own female army of sharpshooters like the fish-speakers in Dune (Teddy Roosevelt wanted to send them to fight the Spanish but the US Army refused to use them). She also survived a major train wreck which killed 50 other people.

Also starring Burt Lancaster, Geraldine Chaplin (Charlie's daughter), Scatman Crothers and Harvey Keitel.

Like wtf. For like 5 years now I thought he was just a really well passing TIF, then tonight I looked into his early life and he's a real man. I don't even know where I got the idea that he's a , but I was really happy thinking that such a great actor was able to be trans and not an attention whore.

Now my day is ruined

is one of the best films of the modern era. It was a smart film made accessible for the r-slurs. It's a classic. I worked out with the soundtrack for an entire year when it came out. I mean that I worked out while listening to the soundtrack not that the soundtrack lifted and ran with me. That would be weird lol.

Don't forget to upmarsey my post. Pretty deep huh...

‘Black Adam’ Draws Negative Reviews: Dwayne Johnson’s DC Film Is ‘Repetitive’ and ‘Anti-Entertaining’

The hierarchy of power in the DC Universe may be about to change with “Black Adam,” but the new film is landing low on the hierarchy of critical reputation for Warner Bros.’ last decade of superhero entries.

With reviews hitting for the Dwayne Johnson vehicle this afternoon, “Black Adam” currently stands at a 32% approval rating from top critics on the the review-aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes. Among the website’s broader group of approved critics, it is at 54%. Should the top critics number stand, it would mark the lowest such figure for a DC film since 2017’s “Justice League,” which netted a 23% approval rating from top critics and was so reviled among fans that a reworked version was eventually ordered by Warner Bros., arriving in the form of “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” in 2021.

In a somewhat favorable review for Variety, chief film critic Peter Debruge conceded that “the film’s whole purpose is to give Black Adam a suitably grand introduction on the assumption that he’ll be pitted against a more deserving adversary soon enough.”

Most others have been less receptive to the origin story, though many have highlighted Johnson’s performance as a key strength. “Black Adam” marks the star’s first time anchoring a superhero film — a job that the actor’s chiseled physique and commercial dominance would suggest was inevitable.

In a lightly positive review, the Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw said that Johnson’s “massive bulk, planet-sized head and sly gift for deadpan humour all make him a great superhero.”

Writing for The Hollywood Reporter, critic John Defore discussed the star’s long attachment to “Black Adam, writing that “his passion project serves the character well, setting him up for adventures one hopes will be less predictable than this one.”

In his IGN review, Joshua Yehl gave “top marks” to Johnson for “making his Black Adam just as steely and imposing as in the comics.” But he criticized the film for being “packed with undeveloped characters and an excessive number of repetitive action scenes, to the point where its half-baked debate on what it means to be a hero is lost in all the noise.”

Rolling Stone senior editor and film critic David Fear wrote that “not even the pleasure of watching Johnson enter into a blockbuster template he seemed destined to dominate can make up for how generic, flavorless and incoherent this is.”

At The Wrap, Alonso Duralde called the film “anti-entertaining” and deemed it “one of the most visually confounding of the major-studio superhero sagas, between CG that’s assaultively unappealing and rapid-fire editing that sucks the exhilaration right out of every fight scene.”

Indiewire critic David Ehrlich panned the film, opening his review with the question of “What happens when Hollywood’s most risk-averse movie star collides with Hollywood’s most risk-averse movie genre?” His answer? “Exactly what you’d expect. Only worse.”

ScreenCrush critic Matt Singer deemed the film “pretty middling” writing that it “plays like a committee-made product designed to zhoosh up the stagnant DC Extended Universe with a massive star and a batch of new heroes to spin off into future movies. After two hours of dour table setting, you’re left with a clear direction for DC’s cinematic future — and a lot less interest in actually watching it.”

While promoting “Black Adam,” Johnson has teased that bigger battles are on the horizon for his eponymous antihero. Leaked videos of the film’s end credits scene have also stirred up online chatter, providing a hint of who Black Adam could showdown with in the future.

Beyond his starring role though, Johnson has stated that he envisions himself as a potential “advisor” for DC Films. Under the new leadership of CEO David Zaslav under Warner Bros. Discovery, the upcoming slate of DC films has become a matter of careful strategy, with Zaslav stating that the company is seeking out a leader akin to Marvel Studios’ head Kevin Feige to shepherd the next decade of the studio’s comic book content.

Even in Season 13 Bob and his family continue to make us laugh hah ha

I love that the blue cannot hide it.
