Zendaya expressed a desire to have had the school experience and you greeted that with your own pithy remark. YOU started this shit, bud. Sorry you have to reap what you sow.

It’s a fair point and based on some of the pushback I’m getting maybe this is a blind spot for me.

Agreed re: Wingard returning. I’m always a little disappointed when a director makes their name on horror and then steps away. I don’t blame most of them, I have non-horror interests too. I’d love to write a romcom as well as the horror stuff I do.

I love Haywire but boy do I cringe for a minute whenever I start a rewatch.

Whatever happened the survivor would undoubtedly write a tone-deaf, overlong, twee post about it.

That may be the case for some/most of them but let’s not pretend that everyone who goes to an expensive school can afford to do so. As my crippling defaulted student loan debt can attest.

Better than Emerson.

Oh don’t worry, it looks like there are still slideshows to keep you old AVC fans busy bitching about something.

I get your point and I think it’s probably a decent rejoinder, but I also think the snarky point Schimkowitz is making has more to do with “working” creatively. And while I really like Adam Wingard and think he was on to something interesting with the sequel, I ultimately don’t think it works. I wonder how much he was…

Blair Witch Project or the 1984 Wings Hauser classic Mutant, which one wins for “Most Annoying Search for Mike”?

Definitely only 10% talking head interviews. And scenes of the crew arguing with each other. Walking through the woods. Setting up camp.

Personally I really enjoyed the VR version of the spinoff game. I wish they would port it over from PSVR to PSVR2 like they’re doing with Exorcist: Legion. I know they’re two different publishers but still, I never finished the PSVR game and gave away my headset when I got the 2.

I have great reverence for it as my entry into the faux doc style of horror film. I loved it on my first watch in the theater and loved it again on my second and third. I absolutely LOATHED people in the theater, half of whom walked out bitching about a movie they claimed they could have made (and not a single fucking…

Oh, is this about our personal experiences now? I wasn’t aware that I had to have a trauma pissing contest to make a pithy remark.

Yeah. Before I looked up that fact if you had told me “Zendaya is just a few years away from 30" I would’ve been taken aback. Not floored or anything, but surprised.

Now say it even more like Napoleon Dynamite.

I think you’ll find if you Google other actresses her same age several of them do look like they could pass for teenagers.

Oh, I don’t know. I’m thinking maybe unnecessarily aggressive AV Club commenters with insipid screen names are slightly worse.

And I for sure literally meant she can’t! Good call on fighting my oppression.

Okay, but as I said to tscarp2, pay attention to the framing of the scene. I’m not whole-cloth denying any of what you’re getting at here, I’m just suggesting that regardless of what West/Goth were going for here, the actual scene doesn’t work. Pay attention to the visuals, the audio (including the score), the…
