Holy shit, you suck at words.

Interesting, if true.
I remember seeing commercials for Drive and being totally uninterested. Then the backlash started, and a lot of people hated it, and once I found out why they hated it, I had to see it. I freaking love that movie.
Yes and no. They moved the Boob Depository and renamed it the “Texas Strategic Boob Reserve.” The original site is now a museum under private ownership.

I think that’s a huge part of it. As long as audiences continue to love jump-scare movies, and hate everything else, you can’t really blame studios for trying to pass off their art house horror movie as a jump-scare popcorn flick. If you feel conned after it’s over, tough shit, they’ve already got your money.
I saw Blumhouse’s Truth or Dare on a Saturday night opening weekend, specifically to get that audience reaction. But that movie was always going to be a turd and I figured that would be the only way I’d get enjoyment out of it.
You should cut the sleeves off, to really show people you mean business! You might think a denim vest would achieve the same effect, but trust me, it doesn’t.
The answer to that question is always “no.”
I wasn’t worried about the telephone pole, no. But given the family history, and the close proximity of the deaths of grandmother and granddaughter, there could have been a curse or whatever you want to call it that put the entire family at risk of being exterminated—and not just in the way it ended up playing out. It…
In what way is mental illness not analogous to physical illness? Your brain is an organ, like any other. The medical profession, scientific researchers, and the law all view mental illness as an illness—the “mental” part doesn’t mean “imaginary,” the way you seem to think. It simply a descriptor of where the illness…
So you escaped the orbit of one article and ended up captured by another. Were you fired from a gun-type device, or pushed off a very tall platform?
I really liked Split, and as great as McAvoy was in it, if he didn’t have her strong performance to play against, the movie wouldn’t have worked anywhere near as well as it did. And you should see The Witch--the weight of that movie falls on her, and she does so well with it that it’s hard to believe that was her…
I watched it a couple weeks back, and Allison Janney (and the bird perched on her shoulder during the interviews!) stole the show. The rest of the movie could have been a disaster--to be clear, it wasn’t--and I’d still like it just for her performance.
I’m only on The House of 7 Corpses, and I think even that is just too many.
Oh you’re still going, huh?
Your fixation on when it is and is not acceptable to have a fatal illness is baffling, and horrible. “You’re allowed to be sick if you don’t have children, or if you do have children but they’re over 18, but anywhere in between, don’t even think about it.” It’s stupid and arbitrary and if it…
Could you also please lend us Shaun Micallef for a while?
It’s not fair for me to criticize a movie for what I wish it was (especially a horror movie, since I don’t watch a lot of horror), but I’d like to see a version of this movie that doesn’t veer into the supernatural after the first act. The drive home from the party and its aftermath were genuinely horrifying to me,…
The bandage on Peter’s (the son’s) nose during the final act was also very much Jake from Chinatown.
