Wada tai.

Unbreakable does deserve it’s own post, simply for the long term impact it had on comic book fans, the incredible realism stuck with us and I think it shaped a lot of the stories after that.

I love that the overwhelming threat David Dunn faces, for most of the movie, is actually depression. A stifled marriage and menial job, memories of past football greatness— he’s a psychical powerhouse, and just this side of indestructible, but that doesn’t matter, because his head and his heart aren’t in sync.

Logan was kind of that, only with a different female character.

It still could’ve worked, if it had been delivered flippantly, with a little shrug. Think of Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy delivering that line and it makes sense. It’s still not a GREAT line, but it wouldn’t have stuck out as awful.

I think the Toad line would have worked better if the movie had had many more “you’re a dick”-type moments of humor.

It’s the same thing as the Airplane! movies. Most people saw them, especially the first, naturally, as general spoof of disaster movies of the seventies, when in fact it was a very specific parody of the film Airport. 

Yu will be dissapointes then if your expecting it to be like babadook. This movie was a complete dissapointes to, and babadook I thought was scary and a great movie all together. This movie didn’t even have an attempt at trying to scare the audience.

In the book Buddy dies and no one gets the diamonds. (Buddy and Foley realize their colleagues are planning to rape the woman who happened to be in the house they’re robbing, and it turns into a shootout amongst thieves.) They made the whole ending more movie-friendly and I respect that choice.

The top one is a film still, the letter grade one is a movie poster that’s a composite. You can also see that the background is different in both.

This reply made me so very very happy.

I think that it’s a good middle ground between the comics and cartoon. I also think the Henson suits were very well done. Look better than the hyper-real CGI of the current films.

Almost, not-quite obliviousness. Like you’re never quite sure he isn’t putting one over on you.

bless you, bless all of you <3

Normally I’d link to my favorite holiday tradition, the miracle where one small Hater post led to eight (and more!) days of filthy, foul and hilarious shit-encrusted stories — the Christmas shart thread! But while the original post remains (https://www.avclub.com/this-holiday-message-is-brought-to-you-1798215388) the…

I have to agree with you about that. The Punisher actually making sure someone isn’t getting back up made that scene so much better. How many times are you going to let someone try to kill you before you put that crap to an end?

It would be really pretty cheap to film... I’d love to see it. Parts of The Long Walk -the desolotion and the conversations/exposition are like a western (there are bits in the John Wayne movie The Cowboys that oddly remind me of the King book). It’s a bit surprising to me that it hasn’t been done.
