MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN (2008)
Tumblr media
If you say you are watching this movie for anything other than the hilarious title you are a liar. This weird art type film (or at least that's how it played in the beginning) follows the life and times of a photographer who stumbles onto, well, the Midnight Meat Train. Creepy and strange right up to the part where the ending made a feeble attempt to explain anything that happened over the course of the film. The finale was just a (metaphorical) train wreck. Nothing makes sense, it's like they ran out of time and just threw something in.
Tumblr media
We are all watching it because it sounds sexual, let's get that out of the way. If you say you are watching it for Brad Cooper you are a filthy liar, he is nothing more than a pleasant surprise. BC is a photographer so he stalks folk around New York (as one does) and starts to follow a mysterious man. Then there is a train. Then it's midnight. Then there’s meat. He gets a sick shot of the dude that is honestly gorgeous to behold but then Brad becomes off. A vegetarian, he eats the steak off his friend's plate. Also the scary man has barnacles that he will occasionally scrape off and put in a container. Why? Fuck you, that's why.
Tumblr media
A ton of suspense and build up lead us to a ride on the midnight meat train where bodies are stripped of imperfections (like those pesky teeth) and fed to subterranean monsters (who are picky enough to want their humans butchered for them), Brad sacrifices his girlfriend (for no reason) to become the new MMT butcher (for no reason) to feed the mole people because plot? I was kind of buying into it and then they just took a big old poo at the end and now I'm completely out. Will be happy to never watch again.

The Midnight Meat Train (2008)
A photographer investigates a mysterious stranger who may be behind many mysterious disappearances aboard a late night train.
There were several recognisable actors which carried the drama a lot better than if they were lesser known and that’s easily the major attraction of the movie. Some of the basic concept is also effective but it’s not always handled in the best way since there have to be breaks for the characters to go home and marinate on events.
Some of the gore was effective in a brutal way but was mainly let down by the CGI which was more comical, especially when in the slow motion sequences. The antagonist was a sounding board for the protagonist with less personality than even Jason Voorhees and most of his appearances didn’t include a face.
The photography and art element lended some credence to the cinematography, ignoring the slow-mo segments. The investigation was intriguing for a while but wasn’t unpredictable enough for the audience to not guess exaclty who was to go and when. The lighting was one of the strongest elements, mainly on the train as it looked vaguely like an abattoire before the killings occur.
Easily the biggest weakness of the film was how disappointing the ending was. It wasn’t entirely unpredictable and mainly served to make the entire unravelling of the narrative completely pointless, not to mention unsatisfying. It also leaves several points of the lore unanswered, such as what the point of it all was, which isn’t great.
2/10 -It’s not THE worst, that’s something else. But…-
-Despite being referred to as the "Midnight" Meat Train, the actual schedule always put the murder trains after 2PM.

///// The Midnight Meat Train /////
Summary
A photographer becomes increasingly obsessed with the frequent disappearances of people on the night train and the man surrounding it. As his obsession develops and he uncovers more of the mystery he starts losing his grip on his job, relationships, and mentality.
Review (minor spoliers)
This movie was a lot of fun in some places and in others it seemed to drag on. Being a mix between a thriller and a slasher (kinda) it didn’t always feel like I was watching the same movie. As an antagonist  I LOVED meat tenderizer guy! His scenes were always so much fun and entertaining to watch. On the other hand I wanted to beat the shit out of Bradley Cooper’s pretentious twunk ass during the whole movie. I’m still unsure how I feel about the big twist at the end. The big twist and Cooper’s character development is why I think I would enjoy the movie more during a rewatch. All in all a pretty good movie and well worth the hour and 40 minutes.

But but but... Raphael still has not actually discovered what kind of creature is lurking in his home now. Is he not at all curious? Is he not bothered by the noises happening now and then as it rustles through his stuff or knocks something over or such?
Raphael stretched his aching limbs when he stumbled back into his home around midnight. Michael meant well, and got the training regimen specifically arranged for him. It’s just a shame when Raphael half-assed it and flunked on the forms. And now: Ow.
Admitting he was in the wrong himself was the worst.
Maybe he should think about doing more of a regimen. Properly. If nothing else grabbed his attention. Maybe. … sometimes he could understand Michael’s frustration with everyone.
Ah well.
The daily check of the food bowls revealed that a slight bit of green produce was left over. He made note of it. Not the whole pound of celery stalks was consumed. Well, better than the different kinds of cabbage he’d offered beforehand. The whole three pounds of meat had still disappeared.
Hungry little fellow.
… still had to be little, right? Otherwise he would have seen the critter by then.
After three weeks of careful non-searching – privacy is important and should be granted, even to weird trespassing critters – he should still have seen something that can consume four pounds of food without breaking a sweat. If it worked in conventional ways.
 I had left two hairs behind.  One in the pile of wool… one stuck to the pottery clay. One was black. One was… a blackish-red? Slightly coarse, maybe the length of a segments of his finger, but without a root, the fur might be even longer…
So it had… blackish-red fur. At least partially. Ate four pounds of food without issue, had opened the lab-door the second day it had been in the flat – apparently, a proper key would be in order – and… that’s that. No metallic pens were allowed anymore, they get thrown down and bitten into. The bitemarks are inconclusive, though.
It appears to be a mammal. Which… is a bit of a disappointment, usually Raphael attracts birds – and they have a much more favourable disposition to him. Reptiles would have been fine, too… a big insect, maybe? But… a mammal it was.
With a shrug, the angel grabbed the bowls and put them on the pile to go downstairs for the next morning. A few files were waiting already their review was done.
It was a bit of a shock how long it stuck around, actually. The window had been open the whole time. After two days, a little ramp had been added to ease a possible escape, but it had been destroyed. And the window bitten into. Which… seemed to be a theme.
Walking up to the sofa for the current excursion into Late Cretaceous period, he noticed that the theme of biting had received a bit of an expansion.
The armrest of the sofa had been bitten through, stuffing falling out. Large parts of the pillows were simply destroyed… whole chunks of the seating pillows were partially ripped out.
Hm. Someone seemed unhappy. It most likely was not the fault of the food. Had the visitor been fed up by something?
Or was it the change in schedule?
Raphael smiled at the destroyed furniture: “Did you miss me?” Then flipped over the cushions – not the most comfortable, but it would do for the night – and sat down to flip a geography book open: “I can tell you when I’ll come and go. If that helps. I still don’t know if you understand me…”
And currently there was no real way to judge…
“… I mean… uhm… put… one of the bitten pillows into a bowl when you’re done eating? Tomorrow? That’s not demeaning? We can go from there?” It still felt really awkward talking to himself.
“… or you just bite me and I get a good look at you and we’re fine.” He looked around just in case, trying to look… delicious? Easy to grab with teeth?  
After about five minutes, he gave up on the vigilance: “It was worth a shot.”
Avisaurus will entertain. With their strange socket joints between shoulderblade and shoulder girdle. A concave coracoid and convex scapula is the modern day version. Those were exactly the opposite. ‘Opposite bird’ was right.
Their particular brand of anatomy had spread all over the world… only to die out in the looked after Late Cretaceous. Actually… he wanted to hold it in his hands. At least in form, if not in material.
The clay would be used for once. He pulled open the image of the Avisaurus archibaldii and stated to re-build one of the skeletons to scale. He had a pelican skeleton in the attic, so comparisons would be interesting to make, size-approximations helped there.
So he was almost done with the model of the second wind, when he felt a sharp, thorny pain. His wands immediately let the model fall and reached down to grab for the curlprit. Firmly.
It was an almost ear-destroying noise that was first too high and then too low, growling with abandon. He knew better than to let go, though.
Blinking, the angel looked down and saw… a fox. Mostly black with wide areas of red, nothing grey or white in there. Teeth still embedded in his calf.
It’s eyes did not reflect any light, but it didn’t struggle, simply growled.
“Sorry, I have to get a picture,” his phone was the closest camera-supplied apparatus in sight. “Good to see you. Thank you. It hurts a lot. But… you can’t actually harm me… so… maybe come out some other time, you can show me which food you actually like”
When he finally let go, the teeth dislodged to get a deep nip slightly below in. And then ran away. It disappeared into the bedroom. Leaving a bit of a blood trail behind. But had its tail between its legs.
Mh.
“Sorry about that! You surprised me!” He called after the critter.
The wounds were bleeding properly, which was already a good thing. He made a photo of them as well, then ran a hand over the little incisions and closed them up again.
Ah well, cold water and a cloth would get rid of the stains. And then he could continue modelling. Hadn’t seemed like the fox-creature wanted to come back any time soon.

MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN (2008)
Tumblr media
Bradley Cooper plays a serious photographer.  We know he’s serious because he shoots film and he uses a Leica.  He meets a gallery owner and she tells him that his work sucks (“git gud lol”).  He goes out that night to take some more photographs and ends up stopping an attempted sexual assault at the subway station.  He’s feeling pretty satisfied with himself (and the pictures he took), but then he sees a newspaper article stating that the girl he saved is now missing!  Shit!
Tumblr media
Bradley returns to the subway station and sees a huge, hulking guy with a bad haircut in a suit.  He follows the guy around and starts to suspect that he’s involved in the girl’s disappearance.  We switch over to that guy and discover that he really is killing people on the subway!  Shit!  The violence is over the top.  He’s smashing heads with a big hammer and eyeballs are squirting through the air.  We go back to Bradley Cooper, and after some bullshit he follows the murdering guy onto the subway train.  He witnesses the guy butchering some people (taking pictures all the while) and then, IN VERY GREAT DETAIL, preparing the bodies for something.  The guy finally spots Bradley Cooper and chases him down and knocks him out.  Bradley wakes up, hanging upside down in a train car, and then some weird, reptilian hands scratch him up. 
Tumblr media
We’ll skip some stuff.  Bradley Cooper decides to fight the killing guy and they end up on the subway train and have it out for a long time.  Bradley Cooper manages to throw him off the train.  The train finally stops somewhere under the city, and that’s when the ALIUMS appear.  They’re the ones eating the bodies.  (In all fairness, it’s not clear that they’re aliens, but they’re basically reptilian grays.)  Just then, the killing guy comes back, Bradley Cooper finally dispatches him, but then the train conductor tears out Bradley Cooper’s tongue and tells him that now he is the new killer.  (HE IS THE DEMON.)  We end with Bradley Cooper stalking the train like the first killing guy.  The end.
Tumblr media
This is based on a short story by Cliver Barker, but it didn’t receive a real theatrical release.  (I don’t remember ever hearing about the movie before I saw its picture on Netflix.)  It’s not bad.  The acting is solid, and the film is moody and creepy.  The violence is way over the top.  There’s a lot of CG work, buckets of fake blood, and then cutting up rubber bodies.  Sort of gruesome, to be honest.  Bradley Cooper does a nice job showing yet another person descending into subway-related madness.  The monsters at the end weren’t especially surprising, primarily because there was nowhere else to go with the plot.  I mean, why else would there be an entire train devoted to murdering people if not to feed some aliens?! 
(I just checked and this is no longer on Netflix!  You missed your chance.)

The Midnight Meat Train (2008)
Release Date: July 19th, 2008
This had the most potential out of any horror movie I’ve seen..... The most wasted potential. Bradley Cooper plays a New York photographer who wants to catch his big break, and a famous gallery owner is going to help him, only if he delivers “raw images” to her, so he goes down into the subway and gets photos of a gang trying to assault a woman, and he saves her. She gets into the subway and is immediately killed by someone else. Bradley Cooper’s character continues going into the subway or out on the streets at night to get pictures for this gallery owner, and in doing so, launches his own investigation into the people who go missing on the subway. And it shows this other guy just brutally murdering whoever is on that subway train late at night, and you’re into it, and it’s a mystery. And then the HUGE SPOILER twist is that the people are murdered so these alien lizards can eat them and don’t come onto the streets and kill everyone else. It’s idiotic.
Rating: D. Way to fuck everything up, Clive Barker’s stupid ass.

What was the name of the main character in the last book you read? Edward, I guess lol. I just found the copy of Midnight Sun that I totally thought I lost two years ago and have been rereading it from the start even though I know what happens.
Do you own a pair of Disney pajamas? I don’t. Not anymore, at least.
What are three of your favorite toppings for salads? I only eat one kind of salad and that’s spicy tuna salad, so whatever goes in it.
What was the last place you went out to eat? Andi and I went to this quaint little cafe in Maginhawa last Tuesday where I helped review them for an upcoming law exam. I didn’t exactly have a big meal there as I had a heavy lunch earlier that day, but I did get two of their double chocolate cream cheese cookies, plus a mocha nut latte.
Do you have a lot of clutter in your home? Funny and very timely that you mention this because we actually used to, but my dad decluttered AS FUCK throughout this week. The house looked like a jungle the entire time he was clearing out stuff.
What was the last pill you took? 💊 My best friend, Biogesic, for a headache I had a few days ago.
Are you happy with your current doctor? 👩‍⚕️ I don’t have a regular doctor.
Is there a bottle of Benadryl in your medicine cabinet? No. Do you take vitamins? Nope. My carpal tunnel syndrome got extremely bad this week though and it had me worrying about whether I should start taking vitamins more frequently to help mitigate it. My left arm has felt funky the last few days and it is NOT pleasant.
Does your hair need to be washed right now? Well not for a while, because I already took a shower like half an hour ago.
What was the last thing you ate? The best cheeseburger ever, made by my dad.
Do you prefer pizza or hot dogs? 🌭 🍕 Pizza. More variety.
What is your favorite pizza topping? 🍕 Cheese, bell peppers, onions. Not a fan of meat on my pizza and I almost always give the small chunks (if any) to my dogs instead.
Is your dad a jerk? He has some opinions that can be kinda out there for me but overall those are just a once-in-a-while type of thing that doesn’t affect what I think of him. My dad is a great guy.
What color are your fingernails painted? They’re not painted and haven’t been in a while but I WILL SHARE! that Trina gave me these adorable RM-themed press-on nails for Christmas; most of the designs were scarlet. It was my first time applying them so the finish was quite clumsy, but I still really liked how they look and I appreciate the effort she put in giving the gift.
Is anyone in your family currently in the military? No. I know someone currently serving though... :(
What was the last thing you bought at the dollar store? From our dollar store equivalent, the last thing I got was a pair of training chopsticks. All the hours I spent watching Return of Superman made me want one of my own, lol. Are prices of things going up where you live? Yes. My family is fortunate to not be affected by it (unless my parents are doing a great job pretending for our sake...? I doubt they are, though, as they are comfortably spending on leisure-y stuff now), and I am extremely grateful and aware of the privilege considering the financial difficulties we faced during the pandemic. 
But inflation is for sure felt by many others - the question of whether or not families could even afford a Noche Buena dinner this Christmas is constantly covered in the news and it makes me sad.
What color was the last carpet you sat on? Grey.
What is your favorite dog breed? Aspins and beagles.
When was the last time you wore make-up? 💄 Mid-November for a work event.
What was the last thing you ordered at the last restaurant you went to? Oh I kinda answered this earlier but I got two cookies and a mocha nut latte. I got the latter just because I didn’t know what it was and I felt like trying something new, so I was really excited when I learned that it was essentially mocha with fucking CHOCNUT. Drink turned out amazing.
What was the last thing you wore that was pink? A pair of lounge shorts.
Name three people you know, if any, that currently live in another country. Hannah, Pam, Sofie.
Name three people you know who are from another country (and what countries?) I wouldn’t call the Philippines diverse. Only way you’d get to know people from other countries is if you attend an international school or work at a multinational company, pretty much.
What are your grandmas' names? Dolores, Agnes.
If applicable, who lives across the hall from you? It is not, in fact, applicable.
Have you ever heard of "fairy hair"? (It's tinsel in the hair that gets put in permanently...it's like tinsel highlights.) I’m afraid I haven’t.
Have you found any gray hairs on your head? Yes.
If applicable, how old were you when you found your first gray hair? I was 11 when my mom first spotted one on me.
Do you think you will dye your hair when it's gone gray? Maybe when they start arriving earlier than I’d like, yeah.
Do you have a sister-in-law? Kind of, yeah - my cousin’s fiancée. That cousin is practically a brother of mine at this point, so I’m counting Kat as an in-law.
Do you have a brother-in-law? Nope.
When was the last time you went swimming? �� ☀️ Two or three weeks ago, can’t recall well at the moment. Tomorrow I’ll be at the beach again so I imagine I’ll be doing lots of swimming too by then :)
Do you own a bikini? Yeps.
What color is your bike, if you own one? I don’t, because I don’t know how to ride them.
If you were a rockstar, what color guitar would you have? 🎸 Purple.
What are three places you've been on vacation that you've enjoyed? Sagada, Jeju, San Felipe in Zambales.
Does your home have carpeted floors? No. Not at all a common feature in houses here.
What color was the last scarf you wore? I don’t wear scarves.
What was the last spicy thing you ate? I mixed sriracha sauce and mayo in the burger I had for dinner.
Do you like sushi? 🍣 Yes, a lot!
When was the last time you had sushi? 🍱 About a month ago when my family went to a Japanese restaurant for lunch. The place is more known for their ramen but the sushi craving was bad that day so that’s what I ended up getting, lol.
Can you see a box from where you are sitting right now? Several.
Would you rather sing or dance? 🎤 💃 Right now, I feel like answering dance.
What color was the last sports bra you wore, if applicable? Black.
What is your nicest neighbor's name? I don’t know any of their names and don’t talk to them nearly enough to determine who’s the nicest.
Would you rather have a personal chef or personal house cleaner? Chef. Cleaning I can do on my own, but I’m incapable of anything in the kitchen so having someone do all my meals (and have them turn out great every time) would be fantastic.
Do you have any zits on your face right now? Yeah the right side of my face is going through It.
Do you wear glasses or contacts? Glasss, yep.
How many Britney Spears albums have you owned? I’ve never bought her albums; nothing against her, but I was always a Beyoncé girl.
What was the first concert you went to? Paramore, 2013.
Do you like cheese? 🧀 Yeah but I'm not obsessed with it enough the way some people like to make it a part of their personality. Which I’m not saying is bad or cringey, but I just don’t like cheese that way haha.
What are three of your favorite things to sprinkle cheese on top of? Pizza, spaghetti, and not sprinkle but I do like to dip samgyeopsal in a cheese dip.
What are three of your favorite bakery items? Croissants, doughnuts, chocolate chip cookies.
When was the last time you went to a bakery? 🧁 Last week to pick up a box of cookies for Bea’s birthday.
Do you prefer coffee or chai? ☕️ Coffee. I haven’t even had chai and don’t have the first clue how it tastes.
Do you know what "chai" means? Can’t speak for chai but I know that cha means tea in many parts of Asia. In Filipino we call it tsaa (as in cha-ah).
What are three other names you like that start with the same letter as your name? Rose/Rosie/Rosalie, Rhiannon, Renée.
What are three creative hobbies you enjoy? Writing, painting...and yeah that’s it.
Is there a bag or basket of yarn somewhere in your home? 🧶 Possibly. And if we do, it’s most likely my mom’s or sister’s. Do you ever wear skirts? Nope, not my style in the slightest. I used to have a denim skirt but I haven’t worn it in yeeeEEEEEEARS. Do you ever find it hard to live in a world where nobody cares? Continued from Friday evening. It can be frustrating, which is why I like to surround myself with people who do care a little more than others. Would you rather have a tattoo of a skull or a flower? Flowers. In fact that design doesn’t sound too meh to me now and I’d love to get a tattoo inspired by Namjoon’s song, Wild Flower. Have you ever had to take steroids? 💊 Nope.
What are three of the worst withdrawal effects or side effects you have experienced from a medication? 💊 I haven’t had any.
What are three things you like about church? Nothing.
What are three things you dislike about church? The way they dictate how people should lead their lives; the way that many followers are hypocrites; and the way they cover up sexual abuse issues. I hate everything about the religion but these are my three main reasons. Does your town have a horse and carriage company? There are calesas that continue to roam around Manila offering to give rides (mainly to tourists, I’m guessing), but I hate those and hope that people stop supporting them enough for them to discontinue because I feel bad for the horses.
Who are three of the biggest jerks you know? I don’t really keep jerks in my lives so suffice it to say that the biggest ones I know are probably just the occasional asshole drivers I encounter on the road.
Have you ever met a Jason that you didn't like? I don’t think so. Nobody comes to mind now, at least.
Have you ever had a friend named Sarah? Nope.
Did you go to school with a Suzy? I didn’t; not really a common name here.
What was the name of the person who bullied you the most in high school Bullying was pretty much nonexistent by the time I got to high school. In my younger years, though, I had to deal with Kaira who had a pretty nasty attitude - particularly towards me - in kindergarten and the first few years of grade school,. By Grade 4 we were civil and I even remember her sharing her recess with me; by high school we were in the same friend group. Do you know someone named Matthew? A few, but I’m not close with any of them.
...Mark? Doesn’t ring a bell.
....Luke? Yeah, I have a cousin with the name. Also had English classes with a Luke, back in college.
....John? So many. It’s extremely common here, along with Maria for girls. John is so popular that many boys have it as their first name, where it largely serves as a placeholder - John Luis, John David, John Christian, etc.
Have you ever been friends with an Ashley? Nope. Too white a name where I live, lol. ....an Emily? No.
....a Jessica? I knew one from high school. Acted as white as her name.
....a David? Yes, this is Andi’s second name. Also Patrice’s boyfriend.
Have you ever dated a Matthew? No.
Who was the last person you remember hanging up on you? Just a delivery rider who was confirming my order and had nothing else to ask me.
How's your heart? Are you wounded? 💔 She’s doing fantastic.
What was the last type of pie you ate? Pizza.
Are you happy today? Yeah, I’m great for now. I’m on vacation but we’re checking out in about an hour, so I’m just making the most out of the remaining time we have here. I imagine my happiness won’t last the the whole day though - by 11 PM I have a World Cup final-related event to attend and manage, and I’m not fucking delighted about working near midnight for a sport I couldn’t give two shits for.
What time did you wake up this morning? It was around 8 AM.
And last but not least, did you enjoy this survey? Sure!
