The only part of that film that will be burned into my psyche is that woman nonchalantly cutting off the creatures tail and chopping it up for her sauce.

Tomorrow is "Rad Day". If you don't know, they say this guy Bart Taylor is going to walk Helltrack.
Filmed in Cochrane in 1986. Everyone in town was in it. Including my sister and the green Army Cadet bus where I spent most of my teens.
I saw it in a Calgary theatre. It was bad. 40 years later it's a cult classic and if you are in any way connected to the BMX community it's your "Slapshot".
Tomorrow I'm taking my kid. To a showing at Universal Studios Hollywood.
This is not a day I ever expected.

Netflix's $300M The Electric State wasn't as terrible as I've read, but Millie Bobby Brown is just the worst actress--and Chris Pratt really is a one-note actor. Those two, armed with pages and pages of ####ty dialogue really sank an otherwise entertaining popcorn flick.
You aren't wrong about either actor appearing to have limited range. I like Pratt's "one note" for whatever reason (I laugh way more than I should), so this movie worked for me.
I thought the robot characters were VERY impressive.

They shot a movie once,
In my hometown.
Everybody was in it,
For miles around.

I do not get her appeal at all. Playing the robot girl from small wonder in Stranger Things? Does not compute.
I thought maybe I wasn't giving her a fair shake, so went over her filmography: "####, yikes, ####, ####, ####, I think the first Enola Holmes was okay, ####, ####, wait, there have been four seasons of Stranger Things already?!"
It's a modernized carbon copy of the 1920s original.
So either you like the story or you don't. But I don't think it reflects poorly on Eggers. He maxed out the chilling atmosphere about as well as one could.
VVitch, Lighthouse and the Northman are legendary.

This movie rules. I was really into BMX when I was a kid and I can still remember seeing this flick in the theatre when it first came out. Never knew it was filmed in Calgary until I was watching the bonus features on the bluray, which I bought recently.

I agree. Eggers' filmography has been incredible.

Another thing Robert Eggers and Jarin Blaschke did in “Nosferatu” from the very start of the project was shooting on 35MM film and using real fire and candlelight with no artificial lighting in some scenes.
