#MovieThread IV: #MovieThread Lives, Chapter Four, And Then It Was October Already Edition

From 2020 to 2022 I watched 1043 movies.
In 2023 so far I've watched 339 movies.

Which, once again, maths tells me is 1382 movies, not 1381.

One of these days I'll get the hang of numbers. But not today!

It's such a shame what happened to Tim Burton. To die and be replaced by a clone who just makes kinda functional tat for Disney? You have to imagine it pays pretty well. That's right, it's --

#340, or #1383, 2016's "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children."

What if 2000's "Ju-On: The Curse" but a second one of those, it's --

#341, or #1384, 2000's "Ju-On: The Curse 2."

The Brother owns GameStop stock, so I guess we're seeing --

#342, or #1385, 2023 reddit movie "Dumb Money."

Was gonna go out to see something else but it's gonna be raining hard when that ends and I'm not in the mood to be that wet that late at night, so instead, let's get Disney Directorbot 9000-T.B., formerly known as Tim Burton, over with, it's --

#343, or #1386, 2019's "Dumbo."

What if movie about urban legends was movie about movie about urban legends, it's --

#344, or #1387, 2000's "Urban Legends: Final Cut."

I feel like this one doesn't quite need the legacy sequel trilogy treatment, but alright, sure, why not, leaving now to go see --

#345, or #1388, 2023's "The Exorcist: Believer."

I forget what this one's about, "Halloween" meets "Happy Death Day"? It's --

#346, or #1389, 2023's "Totally Killer."

Existence of life on Mars implies existence of --

#347, or #1390, 2001 John Carpenter picture "Ghosts of Mars."

"Ju-On: The Curse" and "Ju-On: The Curse 2" were straight-to-video releases filmed on a spare potato, but what if one of these had an actual budget, it's --

#348, or #1391, 2002's "Ju-On: The Grudge."

If "Ju-On: The Grudge" was "Ju-On: The Curse" with a budget, is this just "Ju-On: The Curse 2" with a budget? It's --

#349, or #1392, 2̶0̶0̶1̶'̶s̶ ̶"̶T̶r̶e̶m̶o̶r̶s̶ ̶3̶:̶ ̶B̶a̶c̶k̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶P̶e̶r̶f̶e̶c̶t̶i̶o̶n̶"̶ 2003's "Ju-On: The Grudge 2."

What if "Tremors" but a third one for some reason, it's --

#350, or #1393, 2001's "Tremors 3: Back to Perfection."

You WILL believe guy can go into computer and be different guy, it's --

#351, or #1394, 2016's "Assassin's Creed."

It's Friday the 13th Eve, so let's kick off one final round of checking in on Jason, who in this one, as I understand it, goes to space, it's --

#352, or #1395, 2001's "Jason X."

You know what, tradition, schmadition, instead of checking in on Jason, let's find out what Freddy Krueger is up to-- What? You're fuckin' kiddin' me. He's in-- They're both in-- No. Is that allowed?? It's --

#353, or #1396, 2003's "Freddy vs Jason."

What's Saturday the 14th if not Friday the 13th Part 2? But I've seen that one, so, let's do this one last time, it's --

#354, or #1397, 2009's "Friday the 13th."

Let's just call it Reboot Night and get this one over with, too, it's Frederick's last outing, in --

#355, or #1398, 2010's "A Nightmare on Elm Street."

It's the movie I've called "reverse "Fall"" and that made several friends go "oh hell no, absolutely not," leaving now to go see --

#356, or #1399, 2023's "The Dive."

This one has been the talk of the town (Letterboxdville) so let's check it out, it's --

#357, or #1400, 2023's "No One Will Save You."

Got a month to watch the rest of these, it's --

#358, or #1401, 2013's "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire."

What if one of these but on the big screen? Leaving now to go see --

#359, or #1402, 2023's "Saw X."

I don't remember why this is on my Horror List and I don't know what it's about, but it's --

#360, or #1403, 2001's "自殺サークル" or "Suicide Circle," released in the West as "Suicide Club."

with things like these I sort of think, well, the title operates as its own content warning

I've seen one (1) Sion Sono picture and it's the one with my boy Nic Cage in it

i assume these dozens of young women are *not* forming a line facing the approaching train to welcome it pleasantly or do a conga or something

"A one... and a two..."

yep there they go

well that's very silly

"Well, I'm off."

a lot going on here

a lot going down here

"A Suicide Club? Ridiculous."

a 2001's "Suicide Club"? ridiculous

oh, just a roll of skin like one of those bubble gum tape rolls

This is still -- honestly -- very silly, but this scene of all these teens discussing suicide exactly like it was any other trendy, hip thing to do, fucking chilling.

oof

yikes

dang

oh but when they all actually commit to the bit suddenly it's not cool or trendy any more

finally a realistic depiction of a hacker, just an insane girl in a room with a computer, a bunch of trash, a cat, and a second girl

the cops have got a call saying there'll be another mass suicide at the same station, and so far their plan to deal with this appears to be to hassle random kids and people with tattoos

sion sono sure fucking (very reasonably) hates japan

"Mom's acting funny."

what if Saw as a cooking show

@Alexis if you haven’t seen it yet, next up should be Noriko’s Dinner Table, which is set in the same universe as Suicide Club.

It’s amazing.
