I feel like the properly meta choice would be Channing Tatum.

As The First Wives Club taught us, there’s only three ages for women in Hollywood: babe, district attorney, and Driving Miss Daisy. I’ve thought a lot about that quote in the past year.

Gross.  Hugh Jackman or GTFO.

Will Barbie feel the firm embrace of GI Joe’s Kung Fu Grip (TM)?

By Hollywood’s draconian standards of age and beauty, more like grandma.

Climate change denial is not just a river in climate change deegypt.

Have any of you people watched that Barbie show on Netflix, called Life in the Dreamhouse, where the characters are actual Barbie toys and they live in a plastic dreamhouse? Some of it is quite clever, or at least accurate, with impressively mocking representations of cheap plastic and how it would look and sound if

Older millenial here. I did the math a few years back and decided to use CostCo as my primary grocery store. Did it with roommates at first, then with a girlfriend, and now on my own.

I’d run away, but the artistic choice to go completely arrhythmic with this piece is throwing off my stride real bad!

I liked The Witch a lot and found it to be pretty scary but yeah, I can see where you’re coming from. But The Babadook comparisons are really promising here, Dowd’s description of how he watched this lines up almost exactly with how I watched Babadook, it was not fun after a while (and that is a good thing, that movie

I somehow managed to make it until this week without watching The Conjuring but now that its on Netflix I have done so and I recommend it. You’ve probably seen clips already from “best horror scenes ever” compilations and such, but even with that partial foreknowledge and extra hype its still a good generic scary

The Witch was great, but yeah, I wouldn’t really call it a horror movie. There were some very disappointed teenagers in front of me at the showing I went to. Well-behaved though, they saved their very vocal opinions for after the lights came up.

I love a good scary movie, but can anything be as scary as the phrase “avant-garde saxophonist?”

I loved (and was disturbed by) The Witch, but I get that.

I really want to see a movie that meshes the art-house creepiness with the simple well-crafted scares you mention. Hopefully this movie is the one that delivers that.

Fair enough. I will admit that his films are a blind spot for me. While I’ve seen a few of the Saw franchise, I’ll admit that I’ve been a bit horror-purist about his filmography. I may have to correct that at some point.

James Wan has done exactly this in his movies.

it’s actually really hard to do so with this movie. I’ve been trying to think of a good way and I can’t. But is is supernatural/kind of witchy/grief/family issues horror

you remind me of when i went to see the overly hyped “blair witch project” that just left me scratching my head why all the reviews claimed it as scary. i found it boring. i did, however, jump at least once during “the sixth sense.”

I’m tempted to see this but movies involving the supernatural don’t hit me as much as this. Those can definitely be scary but the movies that disturb and scare the shit out of me the most are one where the actions and scary things are things people could actually do and could actually happen, like Funny Games or
