You are weirdly petty about this and came back 15 hours later to try and get a response.

Weird.

Because they are upset that people like a movie and are blaming Disney for it.

It’s silly and ignores others feelings for personal held beliefs.

I liked it a lot.

Felt very Lovecraft in that the idea of winning against it should never have been considered.

The horror feels visceral and the uncomfortable nature of the moment by moment is awful if you empathize with the protagonist.

I like the Fall of the House of Usher and there is no happy ending for any of those characters. They have things happen and then they die.

This was more about spectacle, no grand story just a visceral and loud one of watching a poor person be fucked by trauma.

I think it is weird that you are upset that other people like this movie and are blaming studio meddling.

People could like peanut butter sandwiches I won’t make a post saying I’m weirded out that people are eating them and that George Washington Carver must be behind it somehow.

I know, I was so disappointed. But hey there is not a shortage of other fun games to play!

Another Crabs Treasure.

Oof. Wanted to love it. Wanted it to be SpongeBob like but with dark souls but timing is weird. The game is buggy. Fights don’t feel satisfying and it’s somehow too fast and too slow but people keep telling me to just turn on God mode and it will be fun… But then it’s not a game it’s a power trip.

I would skip it. I think it got hyped up the way that Stray did without being a great game just a great concept to talk about.

Well that’s interesting…

Been a while since I’ve seen anything compared to Kung Fu Hustle

I worry the movie won’t be able to have staying power.

It was so good and I enjoyed the movie greatly but it’s clearly and very much for the moment film. Touching on the nostalgia and emotions of the end of an entire collective universe and shared history of media that won’t be for people moving forward.

So can it be movie if the year if it’s only valid for this year?
Not a judgement but a question. I’d say yes, but understand it can’t be easily recommended later.

Man this was a rough year where even the big movies that we hoped for were mostly middling at best and lots more were outright bad.

But to support something I did like

Smile 2
I actually hadn’t seen Smile 1 before seeing this but it had a really great classic horror movie vibe of tension and uncomfortableness leading up to a payoff of just downright hard horror in the style of Edgar Allen Poe or Hereditary. And a second watch is actually great for picking up a lot of clever writing.

You know what’s almost guaranteed to be a bad movie? Any movies specifically written to be a Christmas movie.

Seriously it’s like wading through waist high sewage till something good drifts along.

So in likelihood of me to watch them:

1. Muppet Christmas movies (Christmas carol and Muppet Family Christmas are lots fo fun)
2. Tokyo Godfathers
3. Edward scissor hands
4. Klaus
5. Gremlins
