Goodnight Moon II: The Revenge

It is sad revisiting the magic of the books knowing that Rowling is such a transphobe. it’s apparent she has a lot of binary thinking in her works, but sorcery is so inherently queer in history and in literature, it makes my baby queer self sad that she continues to try and strip so much magic from our community.…
I will forever defend the Columbus movies. They’re faithful adaptations that don’t do much more (partially because the kid actors just haven’t come into their own, and also because the source material hadn’t yet matured past basic kid’s fantasy as well), but the thing they do that the back half of the film series just…
“How is this newsworthy? So somebody’s gay, big whoop”
Deathly Hallows: Part 1 has its fans—it’s a sleeper favorite among those who appreciate its melancholic detours and eccentric touches (like a Nick Cave waltz and an animated flashback).
One Twilight Movie could swallow the sea.
Another had an iron neck.
The Third Twilight Movie could stretch and stretch and stretch its legs
The Forth could not be burned and the Fifth Twilight movie could hold its breath indefinitely.
Freddy was legit terrifying in Part 1.
I didn't see it at the cinema but it was the horror movie that scared me the most as I grew up. I dreamt on Freddy Kruger more often than the people in those movies for a very VERY long time. Years.
“The Ring” really takes the cake. I knew something was coming though; you know how there’s a gut feeling that the end credits should be rolling a scene or two after the climax... but then the movie keeps going. The feeling of doom somehow hadn’t yet lifted even after Samara’s soul was supposedly free. I was in a sold…
Yep. If a new version of something I liked as a youngster comes out and I don’t care for it, it doesn’t erase the version I did like. The original Tomorrow People - with its ropey effects that made Doctor Who look like an MCU film - was a show I absolutely adored as a child, and the 1992 version, while hot garbage on…
Now playing
I have seen way too many hack comedians make “ironically” racist jokes and than go full mask off racist later down the line.
>and then keep telling stories about the straight hero who actually stars in the book.
No, he’s around, just starring in a different book.
I love how you can sense the make up artists trying to balance between aging Claire and Jamie while retaining their conventional hotness for the viewers.
After having watched the whole series: If you enjoyed the original, you’ll probably enjoy this. Just don’t go into it expecting that they’ve tried to make it slicker or grittier or blur the lines between prestige cinema and streaming media - it’s the same show with the same kind of writing and production values, just…
Salem’s Lot is very restrained, as King goes. The prose is more graceful, and he leans heavily on low-key naturalism interspersed with frightening moments (his knack for imagery is really great). The annoying stream of consciousness tics are there - especially in the scenes with the priest - but they don’t overwhelm…
BUT I DON’T WANNA BE A PIRATE!
The invitations - the darkest episode by far with George trying to hide his glee over Susans death. When George asked Marisa Tomei out after the funeral , there were audible gasps from the audience . Add Janene Garofalo's whirlwind romance with Jerry, and you have one for the ages ..
Ditto for the Opposite for me, although I dearly love it for -natch - opposite reasons than listed here. George disobeying every natural instinct, yelling at rude moviegoers, berating George Steinbrenner, and not sleeping with a girl on the first date are all fantastic, culminating in a scene where he tells his…
