I wanna star this but I also don’t wanna ruin the #nice number.

The movie is a prime example of a film that has issues that I could nitpick all day (especially with how it is in terms of an adaptation), but if it is on, I’ll be bolted to my seat the entire time.

The MagSafe is the one Apple thing I wish had really caught on.

Just want to second that You’re Next fucking rules. It’s sort of a self-aware home invasion thriller (not in the making meta jokes/winking at the camera sense but in being aware of tropes of the genre) and even when the horror inevitably begins to retreat, it remains hugely entertaining.

The thing I always forget about The Shining until I watch it again (and really realized the last time) is just how unrelenting the atmosphere of it. More than any direct “hauntings,” the movie just wants to assault you with the idea that something is Off, and the structure of the movie itself tries to do that in its…

He does. It’s kind of a nothing article in an interesting way.

I was gonna mention it, but that movie is legit good.

The “I found my father... oh my god!” scene sent me into PAINFUL fits of laughter the first time I saw it.

Shit yeah. I always fuck their names up.

Dutch is great in RDR because he basically becomes the mythic outlaw that the game then deconstructs. He’s definitely ripe for an interesting narrative here, but they’ll have to work to do him better than in the first.

Yeah, I’m hoping it doesn’t take the GTA route of just being a criminal the whole way through because I’m both a sucker for moral ambiguity and I thought it instilled the main narrative with the depth GTA IV wanted to have and that GTA V basically ignored.

I am so excited for this but also really, really curious where they’re gonna go with it. One of my favorite aspects of Red Dead Redemption is how much of a “end of the West” tale it is, complete with the mixed reflection and condemnation that entails. Hoping this one has some kind of larger thematic point to it as…

I constantly call myself a gamer aloud at parties to be cool and then only reference things from the Super Mario Brothers movie.

I’m in a Flat Earth group on Facebook because it’s insane and hilarious (in control dosses), but what’s really wild is watching them escalate. Over the past year, they’ve decided that trees don’t actually exist (what we think of now as trees are bushes) and that mountains are actually the trunks of the now lost True…

I hate them so much. Why does he keep doing it.

The best way to watch it, imo, is the way I first saw it: with a few friends and some drinks and having no idea what to expect.

The only other movie I can compare it to is maybe Hotline Miami, which are both such misguided sincere works attempting to be rousing crowdpleasers while also unintentionally conveying the bizarre personal philosophy and history of their creators.

It’s always weird to see him get pegged for LOST (a show I loved), when all involved admit he didn’t have much of a hand in it beyond the initial idea and pilot and definitely wasn’t around by the time the show ended.

Roberto Bolaño writes pretty good sex scenes. They also tend to be absurdly hyperbolic depending on the character.
