reddittrackers_feed Jan. 28th, 2026 11:08 pm)With the price of hard drives skyrocketing, and running mg out of room I’m struggling. are there any well known trackers that focus on decent quality but lower sized files? Honestly, even a 720p focused tracker would be killer.
reddittrackers_feed Jan. 28th, 2026 10:59 pm)Hi there! So I'm looking to hopefully apply for Cinematik. I have a *ton* of DVD ISOs that I've been taking the time to rip because I wanna preserve physical media professionally, as well as add to my collection, and I know they're like *THE* place for that sort of stuff.
I'm stuggling to get into the IRC support chat because I'm not sure what the heck I'm doing, is there an alternative way to get in contact? Email? Discord? Something?
joblo_feed Jan. 28th, 2026 10:38 pm)Two months ago, Quentin Tarantino slammed Paul Dano out of the blue, calling him “the weakest f***ing actor in SAG.” Actors, writers, and directors from across Hollywood immediately came out to defend Dano, but the actor didn’t respond…until now.
At a 20th-anniversary screening of Little Miss Sunshine at the Sundance Film Festival, Dano was finally asked about the many people who came out to support him in the wake of Tarantino’s comment. “That was really nice,” Dano told Variety. “I was also incredibly grateful that the world spoke up for me so I didn’t have to.“
Toni Collette, who co-starred alongside Dano in Little Miss Sunshine, responded a little more forcefully: “Are we really going there? F*** that guy! He must have been high… it was just confusing. Who does that?“
Little Miss Sunshine directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris also chimed in, with Faris noting, “You know what was interesting was the people coming out to defend Paul. There was immediately… he is loved by so many. He is so smart.“
Tarantino was speaking on Brett Easton Ellis’ podcast to discuss his ranking of the best movies of the 21st century. When it came to Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood, the director noted that it would have appeared higher on the list if not for Dano’s performance.
“Obviously, it’s supposed to be a two-hander. But it’s also drastically obvious that it’s not a two-hander,” Tarantino explained. “[Dano] is weak sauce, man. He is the weak sister. [Daniel] is eating him [alive]. Austin Butler would have been wonderful in that role. He’s just such a weak, weak, uninteresting guy. Daniel Day-Lewis shows that he doesn’t need a strong foil. The movie needs it. He doesn’t need anything. It’s supposed to be a two-hander and it’s not! … you put him with the the weakest f***ing actor in SAG? The limpest dick in the world?“
Tarantino also mentioned Owen Wilson and Matthew Lillard in the same interview, saying he didn’t care for either as actors.
Look, we all have actors we’re not into, but Tarantino’s comments felt way harsher than they needed to be. Yeah, that’s his whole thing—the guy doesn’t filter himself—but the massive outpouring of support for Dano probably made him rethink that take.

allthingshorror_feed Jan. 28th, 2026 10:59 pm)I’m throwing a party on Friday February 13 for ‘Valloween’ and made a list of movies for my friends to pick from to watch. Do you think this is a good selection? I ranked them from least to most scary (in my opinion)
1 Scream (comedy) 2 Bodies Bodies Bodies (comedy) 3 Frankenstein (body horror) 4 Sinners (vampires) 5 House of Wax (early 2000s nostalgia) 6 Train to Busan (Korean zombie action film)
allthingshorror_feed Jan. 28th, 2026 10:33 pm)I started watching this movie years ago but got pulled away… couldn’t remember/find it later - it’s driving me nuts…
As best I can remember, Father comes home, finds his wife and daughter (I think) murdered in the foyer… screams his son’s name and starts running up the stairs… cutaway to a small attic room with writing and satanic symbols scrawled all over the walls, young man in a plank position over an upturned knife, praying to Satan… he can hear his father running up the stairs…
Any idea? Thank you very much for any help,.

joblo_feed Jan. 28th, 2026 09:54 pm)According to Deadline, the live-action Gundam movie starring Sydney Sweeney (The Housemaid) and Noah Centineo (The Recruit) has found a new home, as Netflix is set to distribute the film.
Created by Yoshiyuki Tomino and Sunrise, Gundam has been described as a space opera depicting a battle waged between massive mechs and armies of space colonies fighting for independence from Earth. The Gundam franchise has grown into a juggernaut over the decades, with dozens of TV shows, video games, manga, and much more.
Jim Mickle (Sweet Tooth) is set to direct the Gundam movie from his own script and will also produce with his partner, Linda Moran, through their production company, Nightshade. The project has been co-developed between Legendary Pictures and Gundam franchise owner Bandai Namco Filmworks
In addition to Sweet Tooth, Mickle is also known for Stake Land, a post-apocalyptic vampire movie that has become a cult favourite. Mickle also helmed We Are What We Are, Cold in July, and In the Shadow of the Moon. He also developed the Hap and Leonard TV series, which was sadly cancelled after three seasons.
Now, you may recall that this isn’t the first time Hollywood has attempted to get a live-action Gundam movie off the ground, or even the first time Netflix was involved. Back in 2021, it was announced that Jordan Vogt-Roberts (Kong: Skull Island) was working on a Gundam movie for the streaming service. He seemed quite pumped about the project, even releasing concept art showcasing one of the giant mechs, but he’s out of the picture.
Sweeney most recently appeared in The Housemaid, a thriller directed by Paul Feig and based on the novel by Freida McFadden. The film grossed $294.9 million worldwide against a $35 million budget, so naturally, a sequel is already in the works. She also recently launched a new lingerie line, but may have found herself in a bit of trouble after covering the Hollywood Sign in bras.
As for Centineo, he will play Ken Masters in the upcoming Street Fighter movie. I was ready to roll my eyes at the project, but the first teaser was actually kind of fun. Ridiculous, but fun. The film will hit theaters on October 16.

joblo_feed Jan. 28th, 2026 09:31 pm)Back in 2020, writer/director Magnus von Horn brought us the Polish film Sweat, which has been described as being a character-driven drama that takes some dark turns. Now, director J Blakeson is gearing up to go into production on an English-language remake that must really be leaning into those dark turns, because it’s being described as a psychological thriller. Variety reports that Ana de Armas (Knives Out) is set to star in this new take on the concept, which is scheduled to start filming on March 30th.
Sweat will see Ana de Armas taking on the role of ambitious fitness influencer Emma Kent, who dreams of matching the success of her idol, social media superstar Kat Highbrook. When an encounter with Kat goes horribly wrong, Emma’s carefully curated world begins to collapse and she is forced into a dangerous arrangement with Trent, an obsessive fan, whose unhinged devotion pushes Emma to choose how far she’s willing to go for fame.
The remake will be filmed in Los Angeles and in the U.K.
Stuart Ford’s AGC Studios has come on board to finance and co-produce the project, with Ford serving as a producer with Rosto Inc.’s Guy Stodel. Blakeson is also producing, through his company Crimple Beck.
J Blakeson’s previous credits include the crime thriller The Disappearance of Alice Creed, the sci-fi adventure The 5th Wave, the historical drama mini-series Gunpowder, and the psychological drama I Care a Lot. He was also the creator, showrunner, and director of the crime thriller series Culprits. Ana de Armas had her international breakthrough with Eli Roth’s Knock Knock and since then has had roles in the likes of War Dogs, Blade Runner 2049, No Time to Die, Deep Water, The Gray Man, Blonde, Ghosted, Eden, Ballerina, the aforementioned Knives Out, and a whole lot more. The casting search for her Sweat co-stars is currently underway.
Have you seen the original Sweat, and are you interested to see what J Blakeson and Ana de Armas are going to do with this psychological thriller remake? Let us know by leaving a comment below.

allthingshorror_feed Jan. 28th, 2026 08:41 pm)Movie of the day...Spiders (2013).
There are a lot of movies involving spiders, including about four that simply have “Spiders” as the title. Clearly, spiders bother people. I confess I’ve never understood this. Most spiders are beneficial. If we did not have spiders, we would be up to our asses in things like flies and mosquitos. And isn’t that a lovely mental image? In other words, you can either have spiders or you can have the things spiders eat. Spiders are the lesser evil. It’s kind of like politics.
But back to our movie. Jason Cole (Patrick Muldoon), who helps run the New York City subway system, is having a bad day. Something has crashed into a subway tunnel, very much as if it had dropped from the sky, and shut down one of the lines. Then, one of his friends gets electrocuted touching a third rail, which puzzles everyone involved because the guy had far too much experience to make that kind of mistake. This becomes even more mysterious when it turns out the body is full of what looks like giant insect eggs. As a result of all this, Jason misses dinner with his daughter on her birthday. And, when he finally gets to his ex-wife’s apartment to give his daughter her present, his ex-wife hands him the legal papers showing that their divorce is now final. What else could go wrong?
I’m glad you asked that question. The military shows up. You see, what crashed into the subway was part of an old Soviet space station. And it was carrying genetically engineered spider-alien hybrids. Did I mention they hatch and grow very rapidly? Eventually, most of them are as big as very large dogs. They’re also very aggressive and their venom is lethal. (Jason’s friend stumbled into a third rail because he had been bitten and the venom was already affecting him.)
In other words, just another day in the Big Apple.
One of the interesting things about my “Movie of the day” project is seeing all the different ways movies can be not very good but still be fun.
This is a very silly movie. It starts with a bizarre premise and plays it straight for a while and then turns up the volume to ridiculous and cheerfully stays there for the rest of the story. However, the acting is pretty good, the main characters are likeable, and the film itself is fast-paced and full of action. The special effects are little too obviously CGI to be entirely believable, but they’re not bad. Overall, this is a dumb but fun creature feature.
