It feels silly to say it but the movie suffered a whole lot from having the "chap stick" moment in the trailer. Can't hold up to out-of-context scrutiny

I will never stop championing that movie!!

I really do still stand by that season. It's just so clear down the stretch that they're like "now do some Star Wars stuff!" and it's just really embarrassing

For Long Library, I wrote a little about Onslaught, which I enjoyed, but which resorts to pastiche and imitation to a degree I find worryingly emblematic. Hope you enjoy peterraleigh.substack.com/p/onslaught-...

Onslaught Illustrates The Gravitational Pull of Pastiche

Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett’s The Guest (2014) was a film in some ways just a little bit ahead of its cultural moment.

This is probably a more or less consensus opinion among Western decision makers at this point which is a shame given that it's a thing you have to be literally insane to believe

Thanks very much! I don't want to say Nuremberg is a masterpiece (Kramer is imo not necessarily a genius) but as I try to argue here it's a lot richer and more interesting than you think. I felt the same way about it as you did in advance of seeing it

Hi folks. For Long Library I wrote about two very different midcentury films in which Spencer Tracy confronts societies cultivating mass amnesia in the wake of war and atrocity. Read it here if you'd like peterraleigh.substack.com/p/nobody-knew

Spencer Tracy and Postwar Memory in JUDGMENT AT NUREMBERG and BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK

Folks, I wrote about Backrooms, which I thought was mostly a failure, and about how it compares to two other works - Silent Hill and Channel Zero - which suggest where it might have gone wrong peterraleigh.substack.com/p/horrors-ha...

I'm incredibly glad you appreciated that one! Maybe my favorite piece of writing I've done to date. A really nasty and difficult movie but one that really opens up his body of work imo.

When I found out that was his main inspiration that clarified a lot lol

Thank you so much for reading, and I will give this a look! I know those Silent Hill films are polarizing, and I do get why, but I love them myself.

Mark Duplass material really added nothing. Presumably for the web-series lore heads you gotta have some material with Backroomscorp or whatever but it was almost entirely inert
