Critics love horror and not just the stuff you talk about.

still don’t get the 39% on Rotten tomatoes

I fully support and endorse this optimistic comparison! I can see how this could work out similar to the original trilogy- first film feels like a self-contained story, the sophomore film culminates in an extremely dark note, to lead to the final installment paying off. Considering that the final film is set four…

I know about it, but haven't seen it yet. 

Netflix can’t exactly measure their successful properties by ticket purchase or a direct purchase of media, by nature of being a subscription-based service. I believe a lot of their metric is around engagement- people who obsess over either the Next Best Thing, like limited series like Haunting of Hill House, or fan…

I’m by no means an expert on Korean film, but my recommendations are:

Holy. Shit. I think that level of success is so totally unexpected for such a well-thought-out series, not to mention a non-English series at that. I hope that translates to a lot more people interested in Korean cinema, because there is so much out there that will blow minds.

Same boat as you! I was prepared for it to not quite live up to its predecessor, and while that came true I think it’s a superb slasher that still works well as a sequel in this story. I can’t wait to see what they do with the final installment!

I loved it for the brutality, it was very worth seeing on the big screen with good company. I hated all the soliloquies about the NATURE OF MICHAEL, etc. The 2018 movie didn’t have to hit you over the head about it, it was much more subtle. It’s a bit of a sophomore slump in my opinion, but I will rewatch it plenty,…

I think it’s a decision that realizes some of the criticism that both Alan Moore and Damon Lindelof get at in their versions of Watchmen, specifically with their Doctor Manhattan- “The American Way” evokes falling in line with standards set in what is America, but fails to address if the history of America translates…

I think it’s a great change- the character in his genesis was from two Jewish immigrants, telling a Moses allegory about an alien that survives the extermination of his people and uplifts the better elements of his adoptive people to lead them forward, and celebrate diversity over homogeneity. Considering American…

I feel like this is so often the case, so it’s often hard to tell just by what is voiced publicly. Dissenters are always the loudest, the union wants an easy win and the quickest route to avoid picketing, and the producers want to mitigate the bad PR. My experience as a union member had always felt like negotiations…

Dawn is definitely not my favourite, but I think it is the most concise for its social messaging out of Romero’s flicks.

I didn’t get to watch Day of the Dead until my 20s, but the eponymous Gorillaz album has always had the “HELLO! helllloooooooo....” stuck in my head. “M1A1" kicks ass.

Man, mine is totally different than yours- I go for Day, which is greater or equal to Dawn, then Night.

It is so ridiculous how people really believe the disinformation that unions=undemocratic/socialist/communist. My grandparents here in Canada still buy that idea. Collective bargaining to defend worker’s rights is the definition of democracy. It’s not socialist, or then the workers would have more control over…

I’m very excited for this movie. I finally got some family to enjoy the Halloween reboot, and hopefully once this comes out I’ll go to see this with them.

I’m excited for it too! If you have Don Mancini, Brad Dourif, and Fiona Dourif involved, then you have a proper Child’s Play stew going!

How do you think Onward fits against other Pixar films? Personally I think it’s pretty low on my list (most of the film is just generic animation or fantasy tropes), though I do give it props for its ending- making the visitation spell a private moment for Barley and his father is one of the best sentimental…

I felt extremely disappointed by Onward. I largely disregard any Pixar sequel and love the originals, and I’d say Onward is the second-worst Pixar film after Cars. Both films are so far below the caliber of the studio- they feel like forgettable Dreamworks properties.
