Good.

Oh, ok. That makes more sense. You know, it’s funny, I never noticed that divide before, but now that you point it out, it does feel a little like an Old Guard/Young Blood dichotomy.

Yeah, I really really really wish they’d stop returning to the Toy Story well. At least for feature films; the shorts are still charming enough.

Yeah, I got mixed up and was still talking about Smile with that comment. Saying Possession owes anything to The Ring or Smile would be patently ridiculous.

I got mixed up and thought they were still talking about Smile. Can’t possibly tell you why upon re-read. And thanks to Kinja, can’t go back and correct it. Ah, well.

I am perplexed by your comment. (Re-reads the chain of comments leading up to it...) Ohhhhhh.

How the mighty have fallen. What used to be a bastion of original ideas has now become another sycophant for empty nostalgia.

I think the nice thing about it being anime style is that it gives it a greater freedom to be its own thing. It can certainly be argued whether it’s fair or not that live-action films get held to a higher standard of verisimilitude when adapting stories, but they do, and that’s to this film’s benefit, I imagine.

Yeah, it had a great concept, but definitely felt like warmed-over leftovers from The Ring and It Follows.

This is a bad idea. You’d think people who were familiar with Possession would know there’s just some things you don’t fuck with.

I must heartily agree with this article’s headline. There’s just some things you don’t fuck with.

I apologize for differing with you, but Myers and Sandler were on the show pretty much the same time. Myers was from 1989-1995, whereas Sandler was 1990-1995. That’s only one year where they didn’t overlap.

It’s funny, a lot of people say it wrong. I find it mildly amusing, but it’s one of my wife’s biggest pet peeves. Glad I could be of help!

...unless you’re Mike Myers, for some reason. Which is very odd, because apparently the two get along decently well. They just don’t ever seem to cameo in each other’s movies.

Psst! FYI, it’s “all of the sudden,” not “all the sudden.”

Considering The AV Club had an almost immediate improvement to their quality once the sale finalized, this actually fills me with hope.

I really wish Quantumania had actually had the guts to strand Scott and Hope in the Quantum Realm, instead of simply bluffing about it.

Dear GOD, can we PLEASE be done with the “dramatic trailer version of an iconic song” trend already? It actively sucks any enthusiasm I might potentially feel toward a movie the second I hear that exact same slowed-down, ponderous intonation of iconic lyrics, all set to the exact same drum progression as every other…

Yeah, I’ve been ruminating on my rant ever since, and I do recall other movies that people said were too dark at home as being perfectly fine in the theater. Heck, even these screenshots are subject to it: against the white background of this website, they’re practically unreadable. Transpose the exact same screenshot…

Look, Mike... can I call you Mike?
