I'd argue "You're Next" is in fact Wingard's best work to date, though The Guest is pretty great. Also I remember being real impressed by "A Horrible Way To Die" way back when it came out - no idea if it'd hold up for me now but early on in the 'mumblegore' world, he was one of the best ones.

Kinda crazy to see him semi-heel turn into Mr. Franchise (Death Note > Blair Witch > Monsterverse).

I was fortunate enough to see Chinatown (beautiful, and still freaking excellent) theater last night and the trailer for Godzilla x Kong just looked like the stereotype of a big, meaningless CGI fest. And I say that as someone who’s seen every Marvel movie with his son and enjoyed at least 80% of them. Just bleh, meh.

On the other hand, the Twisters trailer is great fun and really landed in the theater. I obviously don’t know if the movie will be any good, I was never a big fan of Twister (the movie; the game’s fine!), but that is one really well done trailer.

Was lucky enough to catch La Chimera in the theater yesterday. I don't know what I was expecting, but I wasn't expecting the mix of Nights of Cabiria and Punch Drunk Love vibes
