Reply to comment by sudevsen in Martin Scorsese's After Hours is so underappreciated, it feels like his take on a David Lynch/Kafka-esque nightmare by nevereatpears
Interesting. I haven't seen "After Hours" but I know "Bringing Out the Dead," "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" and even "King of Comedy" are all sort of masterpieces people don't even have the mental resources to quite address. It's like Scorsese made too many great movies to even track.

Reply to comment by msprang in Outside of the obvious, who is your favourite female lone survivor or 'Final Girl' in the horror genre? by LeGaffe
Do you think the death/rebirth mythic structure works for the Final Girl?
It was a smart idea you see smart people using (JK Rowling at the end of Harry Potter or George RR Martin in the Jon Snow arc,) yet I'm not sure how effective it was, in this one.
Actually you could argue all of these kinda don't work, from the just-okay end of Harry Potter, to heaping even more "Hero's Journey" shit on characters calculated to disappoint you in "Game of Thrones," to trying to enrich the journey of the Final Girl?

I used to watch the early seasons and I actually hated how few guns they had, given it's the USA and you could raid any Grandpa's basement almost anywhere.

Leaving before they fire you and that becomes the story for the rest of your life?

Interesting, but I remember opening a Victorian porn novel and it was all incest, really vile stuff. I believe what you're saying (they just throw "step" on cuz nobody cares about the story,) but it's longterm.
